Make Up Review- Ulta

Hello, My name is Traci and I am a Make-up-aholic. 


The first step in recovery is admitting your addiction right? Well I have no desire to cure this addiction! I love make-up. Its a woman thing! And today I will be reviewing a few Ulta products I got over the weekend! (you can find all of this at your local Ulta store, or ulta.com) 
One of them was this free bag with lots of free stuff inside! 
Let me start by saying, the closest ulta store to my house, is 45-50mins away, in a busy ass city, with traffic, lots of it. I hate traffic, and people and busy-ness! So you know this sale had to be big for my ass to travel for some make up!
The sale they were having was, you spend 19.50 in Ulta brand products you got that ^^ bag free and also a free eyeliner and eyeshadow (of your choice, ulta brand only of course)! 

So here is what I got! 
1.Glittering Sand Eye Shadow- Wanted for a brow definer, Hoping it would show up light like Verve from the Naked2 Pallete, but it didn't.
2. Infatuation Cheek- Haven't used yet
3. Social Climber Eye Shadow-I like this color, A lot! 
4.Molten Eye Shadow- Wanted this to use as a corner shadow for the brown smokey eye effect, it is a little more glittery than shimmerish if that makes sense. Works but does not blend well with others
5. Truffle Eye Shadow-Very Pretty color, darker in person than in this picture. 
6.Sandstone Eye Shadow-My favorite of the group, very versatile!
7. Precious Pink Lip Stick- LOVE I am not a lip stick person, I have big lips and lipstick seems to draw too much attentnion to them, but this color is a perfect natural color for my skin tone. Apply a nice chapstick first though so you do not get that cakey look!
8.Black Amped Up Lashes Mascara- I was suprised at how good this mascara was, I try every single drug store mascara that comes out and 95% of them, are shit. I have shorter thin lashes and this mascara seperates and lengthens them! 
9. Black Automatic Eye Liner- Works okay, I am a thick bottom eye liner girl, and it took me a few strokes to get this to where I wanted it. Once again it works, and works good, just not like my favorite eyeliner
10.Brushes- Shit brushes 
11. Nail Polish-Did not try, seems to be a thicker color rather than transparent
12. Starlet Lip Gloss-Still in wrapper, Not a fan of sticky lips

So there ya go, I only paid for 3-6, @ $7 each it was $28 so I was well over my limit for my free goodies! Over all I am pleased, The only disappointment I had with them is they do not blend well together, and I use 3-4 colors on my eyes every day. and you need to apply them with your finger or with one of the sponge wands. When you use a brush with these eye shadows, they go on, but it is patchy and causes you to have to apply over and over and then the eye shadow powder goes all over your face and the container causing you to loose and waste some of the product. So when using ulta eye shadow be SURE to use your dinger ;) or a sponge wand! 

Comparing these to the Naked2 Palette colors? Some are similar, they just do not blend as well. But then again I think I am just biased when it comes to my Naked2 :)
