Recent ULTA purchases and review!

 I always love getting the ULTA catalogue in the mail! I go through it like a kid reading a scholastic book order! I go through and circle things I want...and think about the stuff that I can live without...then organize a game plan. So the most recent ad came in the mail and I got to circling stuff I wanted...I saw this mini Benefit set Exclusively for ULTA...it was $24. It had 6 Products...so I wanted to try them out. So I went to ULTA and purchased it...and was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! Here is what I got and info about each!


A mini version of HOOLA bronzer...I loveeeee this! Its the perfect tone....I use it as a contour and it fits perfectly! It blends great and there is just enough of it to last me awhile...but it is definitely a product that if I ran out of the mini, I will purchase the bigger box!
This is the mini HOOLA...<3
The pink tube is Posie Tint...I used it a couple times on my cheeks. The directions say to apply dots on your cheek and immediately blend. Even after blending the dots remain. I probably won't use this too often.

The shiny tube is High Beam...LOVE THIS! Its an amazing liquid highlighter. Inside is a brush like a lipgloss and its easy to apply and blend and will not leave dots like the Posie Tint.
THIS WAS THE WINNER OF THE WHOLE PACKAGE!!! OMG This product *Stay Don't Stray* gets rid of my dark circles and makes my under eyes look FLAWLESS! You put 3 dots under your eye and 3 on top, blend it in then put concealer on top of it, and set with powder...and VOILA...you look awake! I loved this sooooo much I bought the full size! I recommend this to EVERYONE haha!
"That Gal" brightening face primer...is ok...it didn't make my face bright. I won't be buying the bigger version of this.
LOVEEEE this! Going to use all of the mini vial first then break open this one!
I stumbled across this yesterday while at ULTA...I applied some under my eyes and on my lids and the darkness went away! I just hadddd to have it! With this, Stay Don't Stray, concealer and powder...my eyes have never looked better! I recommend this too!









There was also a mini version of Big Fatty Mascara from Benefit as well. I like the normal sized mascara but the mini is ALL brush...you open it up and its just brush! Makes it hard to get all your lashes. I don't recommend that mini.


So all in all I was very pleased with my Benefit purchase from ULTA! I recommend some of the products, but not all...and I'm also interested in trying other things by them as well in the future!


Hope you enjoyed this review...if you're interested, go out and get the mini set from ULTA before they are all gone!


Be Bold....Be Bright...shine like Neon Lights!
