Ok so this isn’t exactly a haul since I’ve been trying to cut down on spending recently BUT I saw Ulta was having a sale and I just couldn’t resist. This week they have all NYX products 40% off as well as Revlon and Physicians Formula. So if you are looking to stock up on any of these brands or were interested in trying them, this is the perfect time. There is also a printable coupon online for $3.50 off a purchase of $10 or more. You can find it here: http://search.ulta.com/nav/marketing/ultacoupon/0
These are the things I picked up:
1. NYX Stick Blush in Orchid: This color is beautiful! I have never really been a fan of cream or stick blushes but this is such a unique color of coral-pinkish with gold shimmer. It blends in so nicely into the skin and I can already tell it’s going to be a staple in my collection.
2. Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee: Do I really need more lip butters? No.. but everytime I try to find this color it is always sold out and I finally got my hands on it. It’s a really nice frosty nude color and like I mentioned in a previous post, very moisturizing.
3. NYX Megashine Lipgloss: The colors I got were in Sugarpie (frosty nude color) and Nude Peach (not a nude at all, more of a very bright pinky-peach. What I love about these glosses is that they are super pigmented and when applied over a lipstick, they last a long time. The applicator is very big which makes application easy since you dont need to dip the brush into the tube a million times. The only thing I don’t like is that they have a cherry scent; nothing unbearable but it just reminds of cherry medicine.
4. NYX Lipstick in Stella: Immediately when I saw this color I thought of MAC’s Nicki Minaj lipstick. It’s a very bright pink-coral color (Do you see a pattern here? I’m clearly obsessed with coral right now.) I don’t own that MAC lipstick but I have tried it in store and I think they are fairly similar. The quality of this lipstick actually surprised me because it’s very creamy and vibrant.
If you get a chance, stop by your nearest Ulta and check some of these products out. There is more variety online but I find it easier to go into the store and swatch colors and check out the quality of the products. Happy shopping! XoXo
