Just a couple days ago, an Ulta opened up in my area so I stopped by today to restock and pick up a couple new products. Also (as stated in the title) I'll be reviewing all the makeup I've posted about on my blog so far! It's been long enough to where I can comfortably review what I think about these makeup products so read more to find out what I think!
The products above are what I picked up today which I am extremely pleased about!! The jumbo eye pencil, micro brow pencil, and soft matte lip cream are products I've already used before and love (you can find the post about them here) but the intense butter gloss and banana HD finishing powder are new to me!
Pictured above (from top to bottom) are the soft matte lip cream in Cannes, the intense butter gloss in Toasted Marshmallow, and the soft matte lip cream in Copenhagen in natural lighting. The soft matte lip creams are incredibly pigmented but their staying power is pretty poor, meaning when I eat/drink I'll have to reapply and it fades a bit by the end of the day. But because of the pigmentation and how cheap/easy it is to apply, I won't stop buying them!
I love this palette so so much, I really want to get Too Faced's Chocolate Bar palette! Whenever I use this eyeshadow palette, my go-to look is Heaven on my lid and up to my brow bone, then I apply Cashmere Bunny on my lid, then Push-Up in my crease and outer lid!! I always apply my eyeshadow in the same spots because I think it looks good that way but sometimes I'll substitute Nude or Honey Pot and use those like how I do above. I haven't touched the darker shades because I think they stand out more and I'm not comfortable with them yet.
I love the colors and the staying power these shadows have, everything seems to stay exactly where I put it throughout the day and I don't use an eyeshadow primer which is nice! I'm glad I chose this palette over the matte version because I love the sparkle that these come with.
I like these lip colors except for the NYX high voltage pink lipstick :-( it goes on streaky and doesn't look flattering on me at all, which is a shame. I should have tried it on in store welp ;^; On the other hand, I love love love the pink Nars pencil the color is AMAZING but it comes off when I eat/drink. More info (including color swatches/color names) on these NYX/Nars products and the Tarte concealer below can be found here!
This Tarte concealer works like magic holy moly I haven't used any other concealer before but I am in love with this one it covers everything and is really thick so a little goes a long way!
If any of you guys want me to go in depth about a certain product just comment below and I'd be more than happy to help you out! Thank you for reading, come again!

I picked up these nail colors and brow products a couple months back and I love the colors! The coats dry fast for me and the color payoff is nice. I've used the store brand's brow gel before so I was just restocking but I like that it keeps all my hairs in place and doesn't leave any flakes which I hear that other brands sometimes do. Plus Ulta brand products are generally cheaper and they always have coupons/sales! The tinted brow gel however was not for me. It's really messy and I don't like it, but I got it on sale so I'm not especially bummed about it.
Here's what the lavender nail color looks like on! (I'm also wearing my pretty boy Omocat tank heh)
Now onto reviewing all of my other products mentioned before on this blog/new cosmetic products I've received in general!!
Here are my first unboxing pictures taken of the NYX lip liner, Lorac bronzer/highlighter duo, Real Techniques sculpting brush, and Sugarpill shadow + brush. You can find that post here!
I haven't hit the pan yet on the shadows as you can see from the second picture up but then again, I don't wear makeup all that frequently! I haven't used the Sugarpill shadow that much but when I do, my lids are super glittery! I use the Lorac compact to set the contour I've done with the NYX wonder stick and they work well together. I'm looking for another highlighter though because I want a dewy look and whenever I do mine it's matte. I've hardly touched the NYX lip liner because it's a lot lighter than I thought it would be :-/ I don't think light pinks flatter me. Both the RT and Sugarpill brushes work well and are super soft which I love! It's also pretty easy to clean them.
