Product Review~ Ulta 12 Days of Beauty (Advent Calendar)

In no particular order:

 Days 10, 11, 12~ Love the brown eyeliner, it just glides on. Love the color and sparkle of the blue , but it's a bit stiff. The lipstick is far lighter in the swatch (and on the lips) than in the tube, but the formula seems nice.

 Day 4~ I love this glitter eye shadow, my only peeve is that it's a powder and not a cream.

 Day 3~ This blush is beautiful on me, the perfect light pink with a hint of glowy sparkle.

 Day 2~ A Butter Balm (Lip). This feels great, but this pink is pretty much a clear color. 

 Day 1~ A Mascara Primer, this is ok. I liked it until my birchbox came in with the Benefit lash primer. Before that I hadn't used one before.
(Maybe one day this week I'll prime one eye with Ulta and the other Benefit for a bonus blog!)

 Day 9~ Highlight! All my other highlights are a powder with exception of Benefit Girl with a Pearl, so this one was fun to play with, and I actually think I like it better than the Benefit. It has more glow on my skin, and was easier to apply.

 Day 8~ Brow Tint. I may have used one a few times in High school, but that was a looooong time ago. I think once I master the application (and possibly get a few to compare) I'll love it. Even with my brows, which I admit I don't do anything with and are naturally pretty full, I noticed a difference. They just looked more polished.
 

 Day 7~ Glitter Mascara in Blue. This one was a dud for me. I didn't notice much color (I was expecting intense blue, like the liner) or glitter (which I thought would be similar to Hard Candy Glitter Mascara), but I'll definitely give it another try.

 Day 6~ Eye Shadow Primer. This was a bit hard to get out of the tube, but once I applied it I really liked it. It does have a bit of a champagne tone, but I didn't find that it altered the shade(s) of my eye shadow(s) at all. Plus it can be worn alone on a no fuss make up day.

Day 5~ Bronzer. I was shocked at how dark this is compared to every other product that was in the 12 days of beauty. I can make it work as contour with a really light hand, but that's about it. 


Overall I was impressed with the selection and quality of products, I hadn't tried any Ulta brand make up before. 
There are 2 stand out products that I would consider purchasing~ The eye shadow primer and the highlight. The glitter eye shadow I'd like to see in some of the other colors, as well as the lipstick and butter balm.
This was an early Christmas gift from my sister and her family.
I opened mine from 12 down to one, every other day starting Dec 2nd.


Have a great day!
