I recently bought some makeup from Ulta. I have been able to try out the products and these are my thoughts!
Makeup Revolution recently came to Ulta. The only thing I have ever tried from this brand is one lipstick in the shade 'love nude.' And I really love this lipstick. I wanted to pick up a few more items and check out the line a bit more.
The next thing I picked up is the Makeup Revolution Matte Blush on the shade 'nude.' This shade is such a nice natural everyday shade. It such a smooth formula. It just feels so finely milled and is creamy. It has good pigmentation to it. I have really been loving this blush so far. Also it is only 5 dollars!
Like I have said earlier the only product have previous tried from this brand was the lipstick in the shade 'love nude' and that's a everyday nude shade. These lipsticks are only $3 so I wanted to try another shade. I wanted to pick up a pop of color going into the spring. This is in the shade 'vice.' And I feel like this is a very sheer formal. Which the nude lipstick has good pigmentation to it. This orange shade is just lacking in pigmentation and a little choppy. I'm not too happy with it.
Both of these products are from L'Oreal and I got these buy one get one 50% off. I have owned the brow gel in the past but I needed a new one. It's called the brow stylist plumper this is in the shade 'blonde'. And I love this brow gel. I think it's the best eyebrow gel you can get from the drugstore at this point I time. It's great to use as a stand alone product or use over a eyebrow powder or pencil. Speaking of pencil I picked up the brow stylist definer in the shade 'blonde.' I love love love this brow pencil. This is my favorite brow pencil I have ever used. There is a spoolie on one side and the pencil on the other. The pencil is super slim. This helps your create almost hair like appearance. The formula isn't too pigmented and this helps the brows not looked too drawn on. I just love this pencil it creates really defined brows yet natural. I highly recommend both of these but particularly the pencil.
Ulta also had a deal where all Revlon products were buy one get one 50% off. Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color. These are liquid lipstick. And I love these I would recommend these over the makeup revolution ones for sure! They are not super drying at all. They are so comfortable and smooth. I got these in the shade 'flirtation' and 'seduction.' Seduction is the more bottom more neutral shade. And I feel like this shade is a must have! It is the perfect everyday neutral shade!
I have not tried a ton for Ulta products. And too be honest I have not been to impressed with most of the items I have tried. When I went to Ulta, they had a deal where if you spend $19.50 you got a free bag of Ulta brand makeup. So this gave me a good excuse to buy Ulta brand makeup. I love color correcting. So I wanted to try out this Color Correct Concealer Palette. This was $15 and at first I was thinking eh that seems a bit over priced. But I love the Pixi peach corrector and that is $12 for just a peach corrector. This comes with 5 shades and dividing it up it would be $3 a shade. Which sounds pretty affordable. So I like this but I'm not in love with it.
It is pigmented and it creamy. I feel like these might be a little too pigmented at times but they are workable because they are sound blendable. I would say if you are interested in color correcting this would be all you need.
The freebie bag of Ulta makeup. If you spend $19.50 just on Ulta makeup you get this bag for free! It comes in either lilac or this blue shade. I will have post all about this bag and it will be all about my thought and swatches of everything!
