Ulta Carnivale Collection

 
I know I'm late reviewing this palette! I got it on sale at Ulta before Thanksgiving, I believe I paid about $6 for it. I had been thinking about getting it for a while but never did. Finally I saw it in the sale section and thought it must be fate!
For the most part I really like this palette. I love the packaging, and the color payoff. With exception of Majesty which even with a primer is not as bold as I would have liked.

 
The set contains 9 shadows, 1 bronzer, 1 lip color, 1 mini brown eyeliner, 1 double-sided sponge tip/lip brush, and 1 mini blush brush. The set also comes with 2 designer looks! (Pictured above)
Unfortunately they are all shimmer/glitter shades, so if you like matte... this palette is not for you!

 
The names of the shadows are as followed as well as a description.
Sun-kissed- Burnt Orange
Green Machine- Bold Emerald Green (Pictured)
Silk- Off White-Cream (Good highlight)
Molten- Dark Chocolate Brown
Majesty- Bold Purple, not pigmented (Pictured)
Honey Bee- Bright Yellow (Pictured)
Cherry Bomb- Bright Bold Red (The Reason I Got the Set)
Sapphire- Deep Navy Blue
Trendsetter- Bronze/Milk Chocolate
 
Lip Color: Flirtini- Light Coral Pink
 
Bronzer: Sunkissed

Influenster Holiday Voxbox 2012!!!!


I was so excited to receive my Voxbox in the mail today! I LOVE FREE STUFF! :)
In the box I got a Goody Quikstyle Paddle Brush, Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal cup, NYC Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City, Kiss Nail Dress (Leopard print), an Eboost sample in Pink Lemonade and $25 off my first shoe purchase from Sole Society!
 
Here is some info on the products! (The opinions are mine!!)
 
Quaker real medleys oatmeal cup! (Retails $1.79 a cup)
~I am not a big fan of oatmeal... but this oatmeal is great! It has strawberries, whole blueberries, raspberries, and multi grain oats. The best thing about it is you just add water and microwave! I am not a morning person at all and this is so easy! 45 seconds to done!
 
Goody Quikstyle Paddle Brush (Retails $11.99)
I have seen this brush at Wal-Mart, well everyday! I think that it works well for people with thin hair, but my hair is SUPER thick and it doesn't get out as much water as I thought it would. Maybe Goody will make a version for people with thick hair one day. For now I will use this and then a towel.
 
NYC Liquid Lipshine (Retails $2.49)
I was really surprised by this product. It gives a beautiful shine and smells wonderful! I have never owned a nude gloss, but the color is so cute!!! I got Nude York City and it is not to overbearing! I am loving it!
 
Kiss Nail Dress (Retails $6.99)
I have seen tutorials on this products! I am super excited I got them! They can be used on your fingernails and toenails! I got the leopard print, it is so adorable and there is just enough glitter!
 
Eboost pink lemonade (Retails $28 for a box of 20 powders)
I have never heard of this before! It says that it will boost your mood, focus and immunity with natural ingredients... I can't wait until I get to try it! I have a long drive coming up in a couple days I need to have good focus on!
 
Sole Society Coupon ($25 off your first purchase)
The site has cute shoes starting at $49.95! If you want to get $25 off your first purchase just type in

Dumb Blonde!

Bed Head
Colour Combat
 

 
Okay this may be the best working Blonde shampoo I have found! I usually use Jirmack shampoo but when this one is on sale I stock up! The smell leaves a little to be desired... it smells like grape cough syrup, but the conditioner makes up for it! It leaves your hair smelling wonderful all day!
 
The line has recently changed the look of the bottles but as far I know they have not changed the formula of the shampoo at all! Same purple shampoo and same thick golden conditioner.
