Ulta Haul!

I took a trip to Ulta to get some mascara that was on clearance

( which I forgot to even look for)

and ended up getting a few things!

I paid $17.92 for all of this!
I had a $3.50 off coupon and I accumulated enough
bonus points to get an additional $4.00 OFF.
Can we say, YAY!!!

 

I have been wanting to try a liquid glitter liner and NYX
was buy 2 get one free so I grabbed this!
Retail price is $4.49

 I tried taking an eye pic using this liner but I couldn't get the glitter to
photograph right so you get a swatch instead!

 NYX Liquid Crystal Glitter Liner in Crystal Pewter
 I like this so far. I am addicted to the black eyeliner so using this makes me feel nude.
I am going to play with it some more.
One swipe will give you a nice solid line of glitter which is nice.

Now this is what I am VERY excited about!!
I wanted a hot pink lip gloss so I grabbed this thinking it was a gloss.
It is actually a lip cream which is similar to OCC Lip Tars
Here is the product description

Straddles the line between lipstick and gloss

Creamy, lustrous formula applies like silk

Soft matte finish exudes a sensual glow

Unique innovative texture adds the perfect polish to any look

 Above is NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Adios Ababa just applied.
Retail price is $5.99

This photo was after 4 hours of wear.
I am LOVING THIS STUFF!!
I didn't take any pictures of the bottle or applicator because I am saving that
for a post which I will compare this and OCC Lip Tar.
At this point I like this stuff better for numerous reasons!
Stay Tuned for more on this!

I also got 2 Ulta brand lipsticks.
These were Buy 1 get 1 free!

 I swatched this one on my hand and liked it but now I think it is too white for me.
I was looking for more of a white iridescent pink.

The color is called Snowflake Shimmer

This retails for $8.00

I swatched this on my lips and it looked HORRIBLE.
My lips are pretty dry and chapped from that damn Smooth Away.
I will give this another try soon.

I have seen so many gorgeous girls rocking the orange lipstick lately
so I had to get my own.

 This is Nectarine Shimmer
Retails for $8.00

 I really like Ulta lipstick. It has a really nice glide and seems to stay really well.
I am not a huge lip product person but overall it seems to be a good deal.

Please excuse my gross lips!!

This is a pretty orange, I like it but I think I want a lighter matte orange too.

Ulta FINALLY had the NYX Super Fat Marker in stock!!

 If you follow this blog you know I have been having issues with my liquid liner.

I have tried a few different products and it is always the same. I get crooked messy lines.

I have ruined SO many looks!!

 I have also had BAD luck with eyeliner markers. They ALWAYS dry out.
This is retails for $9.99 and also comes in a skinny version.

 It draws a nice thick clean line. Did it fix my eyeliner issue?
Not completely but it did improve things. It does go on much smoother than
liquid liner with a skinny brush. We will see how it works in a few weeks.
I will update!!

So finally I had a good Ulta trip!!
They are usually out of everything I want.
I am compiling a list of other lip colors I want as well as that mascara!
I think a Mother' Day trip is in order!!!
