ULTA Film Noir 12 Piece Palette

Ulta's Film Noir 12 Piece Palette

Today I made my first Ulta Brand Purchase. Something about the catch phrase of this palette got me! "Vintage Hollywood Glamour Goes To The Dark Side With Smoldering Smoky Eyes."  AND for $12.99? SOLD.

(Ulta Film Noir Palette)

The palette comes with some instructions to create some staple smokey eye looks. Always a plus for makeup beginners and sometimes a bonus for makeup lovers who may catch a look or technique they haven't tried in a while.

(Ulta Film Noir Palette)

In the palette you get 9 Eye Shadows, 1 Blush, 1 gloss, 1 mini eyeliner, a blush applicator and a duel ended lip and eye shadow applicator. Pretty good deal if you ask me!

(Ulta Film Noir Swatches)

Though I haven't done a look with these shadows yet I was pleased with the swatches. My only complaint is they kind of crumbled while being swatched. I am going to assume fallout will be a small problem. I usually opt to use an old school shadow applicator over brushes when there are signs of fall out. Packing it on then blending with a brush usually fixed this problem. :)

RATINGS:

PRODUCT: 4/5 (Some fallout, but swatches are smooth and gorgeous!)

PACKAGING: 4/5 (While I do love palettes, it's always awkward when there is an open lip gloss pot. I most likely will leave the plastic over it.)

PRICE: 5/5 ($12.99 for all of this? A steal. It makes the less pleasing parts of the palette workable!)

THE LOOK:

Sugarpill Limited Edition Eye Shadow Review and Swatches

Sugarpill @#$%! Eye Shadow Review And Swatches!

I was so excited for this to arrive in the mail today! This limited edition eye shadow was available exclusively at IMATS LA.. Until now! Beautylish has the rest of them! You can get this shadow for FREE with purchase of the Sugarpill "Heart Breaker" Palette! Soo.. Now I am the proud owner of two Heart Breaker Palettes! Haha. Onto the swatches and look!

(The @#$%! shadow comes in special limited edition packaging!)

There has been a lot of comparison's between LOVE+ and the limited edition shade @#$%! Though the colors are similar the photo shows it all! (@#$%! has a lot of sparkle/shimmer and it shows! Love+ is a beautiful pinkish MATTE red. Both Gorgeous. :D

 

(@#$%! and LOVE+ Swatches)

A look I did using the @#$%! shadow along with: Bulletproof, Tako, ButterCupcake, and Flamepoint. I actually just purchased Bulletproof with this order and I wish I had ordered it sooner. It's the most perfect blendable matte black in the world. No, really. I know a lot of people swear by MAC'S carbon, and I am not hatin'.. But I've never had good results with carbon without a lot of work. Bulletproof just like all other Sugarpill Eye Shadows are super pigmented and easily blendable.

RATINGS:

PRODUCT: 5/5 (You can't go wrong with Sugarpill)

PACKAGING: 5/5 (First time purchasing the single potted shadows, though I prefer palette form I love these too!)

WOULD I BUY AGAIN?: Fo' Real Doe. :D

Yeah Yeah. I love Sugarpill. If you haven't tried any of it yet, you should get on that! ;)

And remember if you want this special edition shadow you need to act fast and get on that BEAUTYLISH exclusive waiting list for the Sugarpill Boutique! They also have 5 styles of unreleased Sugarpill False Lashes! Get it, get it! ;)

xo.

A Look!

(A look using all three MAC by Request Shadows!)

THOUGHTS:

I felt the need to purchase these eyeshadows with all the hype surrounding them. The whole Limited Edition and hundreds of thousands of people voting on these shades (I was hoping for a revival of "Parrot" boo!) I think my whole personal regret of not purchasing Parrot back in the back played into it haha. These shadows are nice; don't get me wrong. They are just not my normal colors. They are easily everyday colors though. I imagined them being softer than they are. Maybe I am too much of a lover of brights or maybe I have been having too big of a love affair with budget brands these days.. Perhaps with my recent over-purchasing of shadows and current affection for Sugarpill and Lime Crime. If you are a big MAC lover than these might be a good investment for you! I DO love MAC, I swear! I own many MAC shadows and used to be a complete MAC loyalist! I have been trying to broaden my horizons a bit is all.

RATING:

PRODUCT: 3/5 (Good with a nice base and a little work)

PACKAGING: 5/5 (I have always been a fan of the little MAC pots!)

WOULD I BUY AGAIN: Probably not. Eep.

Urban Decay Sale and Look!

I am sure you guys have heard about Urban Decay putting their "Vintage Shadows" on sale for $9 each on their website! If not, here to low down. Urban Decay reformulated and re-released all of their eye shadows! They also made it so you can create your own palette. I think the ability to create your own palette is something a lot of people love about MAC cosmetics. I have yet to try the new formula of Urban Decay shadows but I can vouch for their old formula! AMAZING. Beyond UD selling their single shadows on their website for $9 each they also have a TON of palette's on sale. As I debated ordering a few of them I stumbled upon MANY of them at Nordstrom Rack!

I feel like I am much more prone to buy if I can touch it and see it so.. Well.. There went my makeup budget (AGAIN. Ok. Truth be told I don't set a budget for Makeup but. I SHOULD.) ANYWAY. All of the Urban Palettes found on their website are also at the rack along with the vintage primer potion bottles (Why they changed this I am not sure. I LOVE the old applicator! I stoked up when they first went on sale!) 

My favorite thing I picked up was the Vegan Palette for only $12! 6 shadows and a mini primer potion! It's been a while since I have used Urban Decay (though I do own a ton of their products and the primer potions and 24/7 liners are a part of my daily makeup routine.) I forgot how smoothly they apply. I used shadows from the palette on the look below! For all products used visit my MAKEUPBEE look page!

Oh, and of course visit your local Nordstrom Rack for some sweet Urban Decay (and Smashbox!) deals! OR check it out online right here --> Urban Decay Sale!
