Hi there. I got an Ulta package in the mail a few days ago and thought I'd share what I picked up with you!
First thing I got is the Naked Basics Palette. I've been meaning to get this for awhile I just never did. I love matte eyeshadows, and they're all matte with the exception of the first shade. I really love all these shadows, and just like the other 2 Naked palettes they're super pigmented. These are swatched over nothing so you can see just how pigmented they truly are! If you're on the fence about this I highly suggest it. It's a great addition to any collection, or perfect for a beginner. W.O.S and Faint are my favorites.
Next I picked up Dermablends Smooth Indulgence Concealer. I already own this concealer, but the shade is a bit too dark for me. Now that I've lost all my summer color I definitely can't use it anymore. This concealer is great, it has excellent coverage and isn't heavy at all. I'm not a big fan of cream concealers or ones that are too thick, even though they have great coverage. Almost all the concealers I own are a creamy thick consistency. This offers a buttery texture and blends into your skin very nicely. A little goes a long way with this stuff! Again, highly recommend this if you're looking for a great concealer.
Finally, they were having a sale on Real Techniques brushes. Buy one get one 50% off. I've been wanting to try these brushes for so long but never did. They only had a few to choose from on the website so I picked up the setting brush and the expect face brush. The setting brush is used to set concealer in the under eye area, and I plan on using the expert face brush to contour with. I included an Essie nail polish in the picture so you can see about how big the brushes are. They're super soft and I'm excited to use them! I could always use more brushes!
I've been doing a lot of hauling lately and dear god I know I have a shopping problem! I can't help it! It's a work in progress though :) I know I'm not alone either!
Thanks so much for reading!

ReplyDeleteThanks Margo! It's really awesome you should check it out :) i love branching out and trying different products. That's what I love about ulta so much, they carry so many brands that don't get much hype!
DeleteI love the urban decay naked basics palette! It's so perfect for everyday wear. The real technique brushes are great as well, I have been hearing that some walmarts carry them now! Great Haul!
ReplyDeleteOmg my walmart carried them. Like, last year and I never even bothered with them but bow they're so popular and they don't sell them anymore. What the hey Walmart!
DeleteYou know I've never shopped at Ulta before? I have to stop by! I have been meaning to, but there are just so many more Sephoras around.
