(Another) Ulta Haul


Left to Right: NYX Terra Cotta, NYX Antwerp, NYX, Stockholm, NYX Lala, Revlon Sugar Plum 

Sooo remember the other day I said there was a big sale at Ulta on NYX, Revlon, Almay and Physicians Formula? Well, I sorta stopped by and picked up a few things... Honestly, I need another lip product like I need a hole in the head, but I ended up with 4 new lippies. The thing is, you won't believe how much I paid for all this stuff - $7! They were all 40% off, plus I had a $5 off coupon and $6 in reward card credits. I'm like a freakin extreme couponer! Here's what I hauled....

NYX Powder Blush in Terra Cotta - I bought this because Essie Button said it was a dupe of Nars Luster and a gorgeous peachy shade. I couldn't agree more! This is a slightly shimmery peach color that looks very natural. I had no idea how soft and pigmented NYX blushes are! They are amazing with my Real Techniques blush brush and I can't wait to pick up more.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp and Stockholm - Antwerp is a pinky coral and Stockholm in a nude pink brown. I am super impressed with these lip creams. Basically they're like lip glosses, but without the glossiness. Ha! They're creamy, pigmented and a lot easier to wear than most matte lipsticks. They have good lasting power and although they do get a little dry, you can layer over or under it with some balm.

NYX Round Lipstick in Lala - This is my first Round lipstick and wow - so creamy, pigmented and such an amazing bargain! Regularly they're something like $3.99 and after all my discounts, I think I only paid $1 something. I picked Lala because I was looking for something plummy, mauvey and fall appropriate. This was the perfect shade and I can't wait to wear it once the temperature drops a few (or 30) degrees.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sugar Plum - I think this is my 8th lip butter. Basically I was looking for a sheerer, easy to wear version of Lala. The color is pretty similar to Berry Smoothie, but a little less pink. This isn't my favorite lip butter shade, but I'm sure I'll get some use out of this this fall.
