I decided to throw these in the cart with the rest of my things and used the $5 discount code on the back of the latest Ulta catalog I got in the mail. In the end I got them for $5. I have so many premium palettes I really didn't them, but for five bucks they'll be worth giving them a try, if nothing else they will be pretty to look at.Little Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471430188040548591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-78145974038437237942015-11-05T07:22:53.353-08:002015-11-05T07:22:53.353-08:00Considering I bought 2 of these palettes when they...Considering I bought 2 of these palettes when they first came out (The hourglass ones) I should have just waited and picked these up. The quality of the shadows was nothing to write home about. I think I may pick this up this season and compare them.

I like their Color Coat cream eyeshadows (more shimmer than Maybelline Color Tattoos, and high in pigment), gel pencil liners, loose eyeshadow, mineral lip glosses (high pigment, comfy), and lip butter (but ONLY in Chicago - I've tried other shades and had problems with too much shimmer and bleeding).

I put the in my bag and I figure if I don't like them I will just return them. Wish they had really free shipping. I know a lot of people who order anything to get to the limit and then just return. I think it would save Ulta money to just have free shipping.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417942317999899973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-76794758915072193622015-10-31T21:04:55.865-07:002015-10-31T21:04:55.865-07:00I think that some Ulta single eye shadows are pret...I think that some Ulta single eye shadows are pretty good. You have to be willing to have a couple of duds in order to get a winner. But I find that the standouts for me are the powder blushes. I have several that I use as my daily workhorses.

I bought the nyx butt naked palatte and I tried using it but I just couldn't get them to work out as nicely as my higher end eyeshadows. & with the ulta brand I've never found anything good. I've tried about everything and the only thing I still have in my collection are 2 matte lipsticks. So anyone with any suggestions I'd love to try some..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256607447548601532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-17450986201936802482015-10-31T18:53:44.661-07:002015-10-31T18:53:44.661-07:00Thanks so much, Rebekah!!

They're not as dusty and sheer as the Hourglass ones, so that's great, but they're not as smooth and pigmented as Lorac or Urban Decay. The textures remind of Tarte shadows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119630747027896858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-62019037735316193482015-10-31T12:29:35.643-07:002015-10-31T12:29:35.643-07:00Do you like them?
