Review: Ulta Single Eyeshadows

I'm still super happy that an Ulta moved in close to me. Definitely planning to head back there sometime to check out the Essence, Ulta, and Nyx displays.  Absolutely digging the plethora of  testers for just about every makeup item in the store. So until then I might as well add some swatches of the Ulta single shadows I hauled HERE. Like I said in that post, these were on an amazing buy two get two, plus I had a 20% off purchase coupon.

Sunburst, Toast, Grace, Honeybee


Retail Price: $7.00
Amount: 0.08 oz./2.4 g
Available Colors: 90 available shades
What is it? Eyeshadow Single
Where to get it? Ulta
Animal- testing? No.

Product Claims:
"A silky, fine-milled eyeshadow that glides on and blends easily to define and brighten your eyes. This formula is enriched with emollients for long-lasting color that will not crease or fade. Dramatic enough for evening wear and versatile enough for daytime wear. With over 90 shades to choose from, there is definitely one in there to suit any mood or event! Brush not included."

Packaging: Sturdy, flat and circular plastic that flips open. Clear top with white font. Dark gray base with a mirrored coat around the edge of the packaging. 


Sunburst
Shimmery peachy gold. The shimmers are pretty fine. The pigmentation is okay, but you may have to build the color twice. Barely powdery.

This shade caught my eye, even if it's a generic color. Although the display one was more creamier and pigmented then the actual single that I have. (=.=;)


Toast -
Shimmery taupey bronze with a tinge of pink. Good pigmentation. Not powdery. 

Couldn't keep my hands off getting another taupey color, but the pink hue does make it differ from the rest of my taupey bronzes.


Grace -
Matte dusty purple. Good Pigmentation. Not powdery. Very silky smooth.

GYAH, I've been trying to find a nice pigmented dusty purple for awhile after drooling over Tease from the Urban Decay Naked 2. I didn't want to fork over 50 bucks on the palette just for a shade, but I was even contemplating dropping $16-$18 bucks to get the single Heist or Cult. Glad that I don't have to do either.


Honeybee -
Matte yellow. I wouldn't say it's the brightest yellow though. It might need to be built up and is best with some sort of sticky base. Not Powdery. Very smooth.

I believe I may still be obsessed with doing a nice rainbow eye. But if not for that, it's actually pretty wearable with my tan skin complexion.

Overall: 4.5/5
Recommend to another? Yes.
Their quite nice and fit the price range quite well. You also get a bit of product that will probably last awhile. Not the hardest to store either. I definitely will purchase other shades in the future.
