There are some new Ulta-exclusive online-only Essence and Catrice (sister company to Essence) gift sets now on the Ulta website, and I want to make sure you know about them--especially now with all the discounts floating around! Plus, there are gifts-with-purchase for BOTH brands right now, to sweeten the deal.

Once again, here are the codes you can use on non-prestige purchases (including Essence and Catrice):

• Use code 304954 online for $5 off $10 (excludes prestige cosmetics; expires 12/31/15)
• Use code 205730 online for $5 off $15 (excludes prestige cosmetics; expires 12/31/15)
• Use code 302358 online for $15 off $75 (excludes prestige cosmetics; expires 1/9/16)
• And don't forget the free 15-piece gift bag with any $50+ purchase

Now let's talk about the gifts-with-purchase:

With any $15+ Catrice purchase, you'll get a free full-size Lip Glow. And with any $10+ Essence purchase, you'll get a free full-size Lash Princess Mascara (this mascara is actually in my review queue at the moment--I love it, and I actually love every single Essence mascara I've ever tried--Germany really excels at eye cosmetics, right?).

Here's a look at all of the new gift sets (click an image to go directly to the item listing on the Ulta site, or click the direct links below the widget):
