I am always trolling for it on eBay. It did break apart easily, but I am conserving the bits I have left, to compare to new colors to find something similar.Kim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17762955156165012264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-44885576182163454652013-02-23T07:32:38.051-08:002013-02-23T07:32:38.051-08:00I just bought 8 of them for $2 each and they are w...I just bought 8 of them for $2 each and they are weak at best. Mostly bought matte shades and 2 shimmers. I would take them back if I lived near an Ulta. Maybe I can use them when I want to sheer something out or use a base for darker colors. The color Bone seems to be a bit better than the others. I will see if they work wet. I should have bought the NYX that I wanted to try but the Ulta ones where cheaper. <br /> Also bought some lip-liners, nothing special. Will not buy any more Ulta brand products. A waste of my money.

I've had problems with maybe 2 or 3 out of the 25+. The formula in the hatbox seems to be better than the traincase.<br /><br />I've found almost dupes of UD's smog, the taupe in WnW "walking on eggshells" trio. I'd forgotten how great these were until I dug them out again a few weeks ago.Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085416682971923483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-86433776837695099802012-04-17T18:14:53.857-07:002012-04-17T18:14:53.857-07:00Out of curiosity, *have* you ever been able to fin...Out of curiosity, *have* you ever been able to find an economical match for MAC Wedge?BooBooNinjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009091822197951584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-37886722694714875392012-04-17T14:39:41.436-07:002012-04-17T14:39:41.436-07:00I really like Ulta's shadows!

I have Seashell and love it, though; it's not too far off from my skin tone, but does look opaque on me, and I also have a dark shimmery brown (forget the name of it!) that is very pigmented.
