ULTA and Party CIty Haul!

On Sunday I went out shopping with my mom...I wanted to get some white paint to make a sugar skull design. Along with the white paint, I got some spirit gum adhesive and remover along with a vampire bite marks. I want to try and do some special fx...so I figured why not? It's worth trying, and it was inexpensive! I can't wait to create a sugar skull! I will post pics of that for sure!




I also got some cool body crystals for some upcoming makeup looks I have in mind :D



SO now for my ULTA Haul! I originally went in to just browse because I wasn't impressed with much from this month's catalogue...but I left with some goodies!


I bought these 3 nail polishes...3 for $9...I used these colors to make my candy corn nails.

While browsing I saw this palette...I was in awe....it has 45 colors, 9 eyeliners, 6 blushes and 6 lipgloss....all for $59...now some of you might say DAMN that's a lot...but think about it...45 eye shadows...that alone is over $300...so I figured it was a good deal...and I got it! I will put swatches and a review of the colors up as soon as I use it!





45 eyeshadow colors :D


5 blushes and 1 bronzer...9 eyeliners, 6 lip colors!


I also needed heat protector for my hair since I ran out of my other stuff....they were having a sale...by 2 get one free...so I got some Heat protector, Sculpting Mousse and Awapuhi moisture oil. I'm excited to try this stuff out! (yes its not Aveda...but it will work I just know it!)





Overall I am happy with my haul so far...after I use the products more I am sure I will be super happy!

Keep an eye out for the reviews and sugar skull makeup!

Until then...stay bright and BE BOLD!

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!
