Greetings from Paradise! Ulta3's Holiday Collection

 

Hi all,
So yes, Christmas is basically around the corner and it is starting to become time to get some lovely Xmas presents. Ulta3 is launching the ultimate affordable and on trend holiday collection, perfect for Summer. This brand has totally taken the warmer Christmas weather into account.

The first part to their holiday collection is the memorable Candy Cane. This cute and popular gift features ten 10 full size nail polishes. No-one could possibly have these nail polishes already as they are new, bright colours for this season. It is the ideal gift for women of all ages and is so cute and decorative under the tree. I've already done a review on the nail polishes (which you can check out here ) but they are of great quality and look so good on.
The packaging is so cute and the shades are so bright yet wearable. There is Exotic Canary (a vibrant yellow), Tangerine Tango (a lovely, bright orange), Peach Paradise (a nice, pinky peach), Coral Reef (a vibrant coral red), Pink Hibiscus (a perfect mid pink), Flirty Bikini (an iridescent pinky-purple, Acapulco Bliss (an iridescent unique purple), Sea Breeze Swirl (a lovely mint green), Calypso Holiday (an iridescent turquoise blue) and Pacific Splash (an iridescent deep dark blue). I truly enjoy all these shades but my favourites are Flirty Bikini and Calypso Holiday.

RRP $12.95

 

The next product is so ideal for those travelling in the Christmas break. It is the Greetings from Paradise Mini Nail Collection. I know when I travel, I want to bring nail polishes but very it very hard to do so. However, this product makes it so easy and convenient. The box with magnetic closure is so cute and is re-usable. The product features 5 mini nail polishes in Calypso Holiday (an iridescent turquoise blue), Turquoise Treasure (an iridescent turquoise green), Flamingo Funk (a vibrant poppy red), Pink Hibiscus (a perfect mid pink) and Peach Paradise (a nice, pinky peach). I think this is great value and is also so great because because it contains two shades that are not in the Candy Cane.

The last gift to the Ulta3 Holiday Collection is the Greetings from Paradise Makeup Palette. This gift really completes your summer look. The product features 3 summery eye shadows, a blush and a bronzer. These are all packaged in one palette book flat enough to fit in you suitcase. This makes it super convenient. I love it! The products are all of great quality and go on quite well. The book palette even contains a 'Create the Look' on the inside cover. This is so great.

The three eye shadows are Sand Dune (sandy bronze), Tropical Sea (a nice aqua) and Coconut Grove (a red-toned brown). The blush is Summer Glow (a peachy pink) and the bronzer is Evening Sunset (a mid bronze/brown). I really enjoy this product.

Get the perfect nails for Summer with Ulta3

Hi everyone,
Summer is on its way and what a better way to celebrate than paint your nails! I have four Ulta3 nail polishes to show you today. Sunset Pink and Mojito are from the Ulta3 Limited Edition Summer Siren Nail Colour collection and Carrot Top and Watermelon are from the standard Ulta3 Nail Polish range. The packaging is so simple but is nice and sleek. You also get a lot of product which is a great plus. The applicator makes it super easy to apply the polish since it is the perfect width. It applies on really well and with two coats you get really pretty nails. The product is of such good quality and is long lasting. I love this formula! Sunset Pink is a gorgeous dark raspberry pink. I have to say that this one is one of my favourites. Mojito is a bright, vivid green and also is my favourite. Carrot Top is a bright orange/red and Watermelon is a pale peachy pink colour. I really like all of these shades and are perfect for the warmer months. The nail polishes retails for $2 at selected pharmacies. How cheap is that?! For a great product, the price is unbelievable. So for a achieving bright summer nails, try out Ulta3's nail polishes. They are fantastic.

 

 

 

Ulta3 Review: Mascara, Eyeliner and Lipsticks

Hi beauties,
I am excited to review four products for you from the brand Ulta3. So let's get started.

The first product is Ulta3 Liquid Eyeliner in Black. The packaging is simple but super cute featuring a predominately black tube with white flowers. It contains a lot of product for a liquid eyeliner which is great. The product comes with a very fine applicator, making it so easy to apply. The formula itself is quite long-lasting and smudge-proof. I think Ulta3 Liquid Eyeliner is ideal for putting on the lash rim with mascara. You get a nice and precise application with this product. The product retails as $6.95 which is fantastic for an eyeliner of such great quality. I mean this a superb product without the expensive price tag.

The next product I'm reviewing is the Ulta3 The Big Mascara in Very Black. Again, this product features the same cute packaging but is more shorter and wider than the liquid eyeliner. The applicator is really nice and great for volumising the lashes. The mascara creates big, thick, long and luscious lashes. It makes you look wide-eyed. The formula doesn't smudge. I think that this mascara is really well worth the small fortune you pay. For $6.95 you are getting a really good mascara.

The final product from Ulta3 is Ulta3 Lipstick in Tickled Pink and Light Candy. These products are really great. The packaging is simple and nice. The lipstick actually has a nice scent to it which is a plus. The formula doesn't dry out your lips and is not really thick. Light Candy is a lovely cotton candy pink and Tickled Pink is a true pink. They both contain shimmer in them and are really nice shades that match any look you are wearing. Again, it retails for a great price at $3.95 but is so good in quality. I think they are both so natural and are lip products that I will definitely be wearing regularly.
