Ulta Haul 7/14/12

So yesterday I went to...
Yep, the wonderful land of Ulta!
So I decided to pick up some NYX items I've been eyeing because they were on sale. ;)

First was the Xtreme Lip Cream (05 Bonfire)
(Sorry, my computer isn't turning the photo for me...)
Anyway, this sells for $5.99 and is 0.23oz (7mL)
The container reads, " It's not lipstick, nor is it gloss. It's like nothing you've experienced before. It's liquid lipstick that goes on with full Xtreme color and intense shine."
The color is a beautiful pink which has a bit of a berry hue but not full-blown berry.

Then I purchased the NYX Color Lip Balm in 01 Merci
This sells for $3.79 for .14oz (4g)
Because this is a balm, the color is not super duper pigmented. Though after swatched, I was happy to see that it was still pretty pigmented for a balm. It seems as if it will be a nice, subtle pop of color.

Swatches of the lip products; lip cream on top, lip balm on bottom.

How pretty?! :)

Next, I bought two NYX pigments.
The first of the two was the Ultra Pearl Mania in 03 White Pearl
My flash was a little too bright for this.. but it's pretty much just a white shimmery pearl color. I plan to use this over other eye shadows for a pretty sheen. This sells for $2.99 for .06fl.oz (5mL).

Lastly, I bought the Glitter Mania in 09 Disco Ball
This is just a fun, glittery color. I don't expect to find use for this in everyday wear.. but I want to try it as eyeliner. How fun would that be?! It's the same price and size as the previous pigment.

Swatch Time

Because NYX was on sale, my subtotal came up to be $11.61. Not bad, not bad. :)
