I got this Ulta "Totes for Beauty" for $16.99 on Black Friday.



So far all I've tried is the lip gloss/lip stick "Cappuccino". It was actually awesome!

I love that this is a bag that I can put other make-up in and it comes with loads of colors. This is going to be my emergency at work stash for when I get called to a meeting but haven't had time to put anything on my face ;)

Review: Ulta House of Hues pallete

Did I mention Ulta opened a store in my city? No? Well, they did! And omg, it's a beautiful thing!

Guess who went to their grand opening two days in a row? That's right! This girl! Day one I scored a $5 gift card and used it to buy barrettes. Day two I dragged MG with me so we could get two gift cards, we ended up with $10 and $25 *makes a triumphant fist*

So I bought this little "House of Hues" palette I'd been eyeing the day before. It cost me $2.14 using the $10 gift card.


Here's the back. It says there are 9 lip colors, 18 eye shadows, 3 blush shades, 2 bronzers, 1 highlighting powder, 1 eye liner pencil and an applicator.


Loads of sweet colors to try, right? And the palette isn't too big to carry in a purse.

Here they are without the cover:



I tested this out today using shadows: Sage, Rags to Riches, and Glamazon, as well as Glow and Sunkissed (bronzer/blush), and Pink Chocolate/Vintage wine, plus the eye liner.

The shadows and blushes are nicely pigmented. The lip colors weren't but I may have picked colors a little close to my lip's skin tone.

Here's the result (with Urban Decay eye primer):


I'm pretty pleased with this set. It's a good deal for $12. Even better that I paid $2 ;)

Palette

It comes with the 29 eye shadow, 7 cheek colors and the smudge stick waterproof eye liner.
I'm in love with over 3/4ths of the colors.
Close up of the center colors. The very middle one (Kitten) is a great highlight color.


Lookbook

 Comes with 7 different looks that can be achieved using the palette.
Also includes a diagram of what the names are for each color. This was also on the back of the box, but I didn't want to keep the box since it's big and bulky.

Eye liner:
I can't wait to try this eye liner out. I received one in one of my Birchboxes a few months back but had a really hard time winding it. If you wind up getting a stila smudge stick just beware that it does NOT wind back into the holder. Do NOT wind more than you need. They do this for hygienic reasons from what I've heard, when you wind a liner back down the bacteria goes into the tube with it.
