New Goodies From Ulta

By Katrina - August 03, 2018

I did a little shopping on Ulta.com and picked up some new goodies that were just released and are all the rave right now. The items I picked up are the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina palette, and the DOSE of Colors X iluvsarahii collection lipglosses.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina palette dropped a few days ago and features some of Norvina's absolute go to shades in bold bright mattes and soft pastel shimmers. If you didn't know yet, Norvina is the daughter of Anastasia, and President of the company that the mother-daughter due have grown from the ground up. This mother-daughter duo has certainly shaped the makeup industry in recent years. They remain very hands on in company decisions and I am a huge fan! They have a very unique and interesting company history, so if you're interested in finding out more about how Anastasia got into the beauty industry, I recommend a quick Google search that will land you to many interesting articles about her.

The palette itself is very beautiful. It comes with its own brush which I think makes the palette totally worth the money. Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palettes are all around $42.00 and come in a beautiful velvet packagings. I am thinking of starting a collection and getting them all after swatching this palette and seeing how buttery smooth each shade is. I will be doing a look using this palette and will have swatches of each shade up, so check back for that.

The next thing that I purchased are two new lipglosses from the DOSE of Colors X iluvsarahii collections. These colors were exactly what I have been looking for, and consistently use in my makeup routine. I was due for a refill on my favorite nudes, since I'm running low, so these will be my replacements. I have recently discovered DOSE of Colors and I am loving the texture and feel of their glosses. When I first say these shades from this new collection, I knew I would add them to mine. The first shade is called "Barely There" and its a very pretty finish nude. It glides on smooth and gives off a great color payout. I don't even know if I will ever need to wear lipstick with this gloss. The second shade is called "Brillo" and it is the most gorgeous golden glittery gloss I've ever seen. I can't wait to use it as a topper to any shade of lipstick, It would make any lipstick shade pop and sparkle without feeling gritty and dry. Each lipgloss cost $17 at Ulta.com. I also have my eyes on some of the liquid lipsticks from this collection, but I feel as though I would need to see those and swatch them in person to decide. I have ever tried the DOSE of Colors liquid lipsticks before.
