NEW IN SAN DIEGO: Ulta in Chula Vista

This past weekend San Diego welcomed their 11th Ulta store in the county! The Otay Ranch Town Center location is the very first one in the city of Chula Vista, and as a beauty fanatic I had to go check it out. Ulta stores for the most part have a similar layout, but not all stores carry the same drugstore and prestige brands. Some stores also feature specialty beauty and skincare services such as the Benefit Brow Bar and the Dermalogica Skin Bar. Let's take a look at the newest Ulta location together to see what beauty things you can find here.
