ULTA haul

SO, as i mentioned, i went to the ULTA store in Everette. I initially went because i wanted to try the NYX shadows and cosmetic line. When i got there i ran over to the nyx isle and egh...wasnt THAT blown away. Most of the nyx colors were very similar to mac colors i already had, so i tried to go for colors i needed. The one thing i did like was that they had every single brand nail polish; from essie, to china glaze, to opi, to revlon, and everything in between.

i LOVE these. the camera doesnt do them any justice because they are even better in person. the first color (pictured far left) is flip flop fantasy. its a bright pink/coral/orangie color, even though it looks pink in the picture. the middle one is shocking pink; and just like the name, it is a bright pink summer color. the last one, and my favorite is peachy keen. it is a really pretty pastel peach color. i loooooved all the colors they had, BUT i tried to limit myself to just 3...for now anyways.
next i went for some nyx shadows. i ended up only liking 3; which at the end worked in my favor because they were buy 2 get one. most of the colors they had were browns, and neutrals that i already had plenty of. the first color is "Atlantic"; in the picture it looks pretty bright, but in person it is a very dark blue.

this color is "Kiwi"; its a dark kiwi green, again it looks bright in the picture, but its a couple shades darker. its a gorgeous green by the way.


the last color is "lime green"; its a gorgeous green with a gold shimmer to it. i went a little green crazy because i didnt have alot of green eyeshadows besides the neon greenish one from mac. all in all im happy with everything. the nail polishes are adorable and summery; the eyeshadows are really pigmented gorgeous. im gonna be doing a review on the nyx shadows soon because they are truly good for their price. these ran me for about 5.99 a piece, and im not sure but i swear i saw them cheaper on the website. idk im gonna double check that. the people that worked at ulta were kinda snobish; that would be my only complaint; other than that it was a pretty big store and it had awesome stuff in it. its worth the checkitout!

On my way home i stopped at target to get something for my mom; and i grabbed these two crease brushes for 5.99 a piece; i got two of them because im a brush junkie and i rather have too many than not enough!
