Why it worked
The video uses a relatable scenario of "haul culture" and the excitement of a sale, combined with a visual gag of securing the shopping bag with a seatbelt, to create engaging and shareable content.
Summary
The video shows a shopping bag from Ulta Beauty secured with a seatbelt in a car, implying a haul from the Beauty Blowout Sale. The on-screen text highlights that over 900 deals are 50% off today.

Product placement
Ulta Beauty: (a) it ACTS - it is a retail store where the creator shops for beauty products, and the sale is advertised. Removing it would change the context of the shopping trip. (b) it merely APPEARS - the Ulta Beauty logo is visible on the shopping bag. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
