ULTA Haul: NYX Cosmetics

NYX Cosmetics

Okay, this is going to be a short blog..I went to ULTA this past weekend and bought a few items in store..I had also purchase some items online, but I'm currently waiting on the mail to get here.  I'll feature those products as soon as I get them in the mail.  Anywho.. I went and bought a few items to try out to start stocking up on some Autumn colors.  I ended up buying two liquid eye liners, an eye shadow palette, some lip sticks, and some eye shadow base.  

Haul:

NYX The Natural Shadow Palette- TNS01

NYX Eye Shadow Base Skin Tone- ESB03

NYX Glam Lipstick Aqua Luxe- GLSA06- Lotus

NYX Glam Lipstick Aqua Luxe- GLSA09- Splendid

NYX Glam Liner Aqua Luxe- waterproof- GLA05- Glam Black

NYX Glam Liner Aqua Luxe- waterproof-GLA04- Glam 24 Karat

I absolutely LOVE the lipsticks..they glide on pretty smooth, and have some great pigment.  Not too bright, but the sparkly shimmer makes it look gorgeous.  I imagine wearing it out for a girl's night out, or in the evening for a dinner.  The eyeliners are gorgeous!  Stays on, it's waterproof so it won't smudge or run, and it has the same sparkly shimmer as the Luxe lipsticks.  The eyeshadow base is creamy, and blends pretty well on the skin, and it works perfect with prepping the eyes before adding the eye shadow.  The Natural Eye Shadow palette has some nice casual/natural colors.  Perfect for the Fall, and getting a nice natural look.  I did find that the shadows have great pigment, and did not need too much.  It has some nice base colors as well as the shimmery colors, and some nice cream based colors for highlighting underneath the eyebrow.  

The top liner is the Glam 24 Karat, below is the Glam Black eye liner.

Below that is the Lotus Aqua Luxe lipstick, a nice peachy undertone with shimmer pigments incorporated in it.  And below that is the Splendid Aqua Luxe lipstick.  It has a nice pinkish undertone along with shimmer pigments.  

The Natural Palette, perfect for everyday wear, from day to night.  It has perfect browns and blacks  to create a smokey eye effect.

I definitely would recommend these products.  They work really well, at an affordable price, and will add that little pop with the beautiful shimmers.  Don't forget to go to Ulta.com and print out a coupon, as what I did.  I got all these products for about $27.  I did get them while there were some sales, like Buy 1 Get 1 at 50% off..so make sure to check out their weekly ad.  Look out for my next post as I will be doing a review on some Benefit Cosmetics products!
