Ulta 5-In-1 Color Collection Chic Review Part 1

Get this now if you can! Let me just get the main point of writing this review before I go into more detail. Just get it.

Hi ladies! I said what I meant and I meant what I said. I thank my stars that I received this as a gift from an aunt from the US. I had to review it as soon as possible because currently it is priced at just $19.99 and its stock will run out pretty soon. This was meant as last year’s Christmas/Holiday season gift set release, so back then it was much pricier, but now, I guess you can call it a clearance sale on it that it’s just at a throw-away price.  For approximately Rs. 1100, one can find 50 beautiful eye shades, 5 perfect blush colors, 6 creamy eye liners, 2 cute glosses and all products are part of Ulta’s permanent collection.  These are not just tiny, sample-sized nuggets, but pretty decent sized. This set comes in 2 varieties – Chic and Downtown Diva. I have reviewed the “Chic” Color Collection here.

The liners and glosses were in another plastic tray, but I threw that one out when I first opened this box. This is hands down the longest time I have spent trying on, swatching and making notes about any product or thing ever in my life and I sincerely hope at least one of you out there actually buys this because this is just an amazing find. Given the number of items in this set, this will be a very long review! Be warned 😀

This image shows swatches of all the cheek colors:

From left to right:
• Flush – Natural Eye Palette
• Adore – Soft & Pretty Palette
• Girlie – Totally Matte Palette
• Afterglow – Soft Pop Palette
• Sweet Cheeks – Smokey Palette

All cheek colors are pink. Girlie and Sweet Cheeks are matte and the other 3 are shimmery. They have good staying power.  I wore them for more than 5 hours and they stayed on very well. The lighter the color, the sheerer is the application. Pigmentation of Flush and Adore is the best, the remaining 3 show up after swiping on color 2-3 times at least.

2 ULTA Super Shiny Lip Glosses:

ULTA (6)

Website Description:

Super Shiny Lip Gloss by ULTA has a high shine, sheer color lip gloss formula. Super Shiny Lip Gloss provides sheer tint of color with glamorous shine that can be worn alone or over your avourite lipstick or stain.

Ingredients:

Polyisobutene, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Isohexadecane, Octyl Palmitate, Hydroxystearic Acid, Fragrance.

Colors provided in this box:
• Whisper (16).
• Flirtini (07).

ULTA (7)

These are decent lip glosses and I like that they are not too tiny as expected with most gift boxes.  The Flirtini one is colorless when applied on its own.  It has tiny pink/gold specks on it and when applied on any lip color, it lightens it a bit due to its light pink color.

The Whisper, I just love! It is gorgeous pink color, which on its own gives a very sheer pink tinge with sparkles to the lips but on top of similar lip color, it looks much more pretty.  The sparkles in both these glosses are very tiny, so the gloss does not look gawdy at all. I am impressed with these shiny glosses. I do not wear gloss a lot, but still I like these. I hope you can see the tiny sparkles in the lip swatch, here I’m wearing Flirtini.

But what I’m not sure I like about these glosses is that they smell intensely of buttery pop-corn! Both of them do. Initially, when I first whiffed it, I liked this fact, but after wearing it for an hour, I felt it was too intense. I still have mixed feelings about this smell. It is not unpleasant, but it sure is very different.

ULTA (11)

Honestly, I was not expecting these to be very impressive, but surprisingly, these are very creamy and intense.  All shades shows up very well as eyeliner but on the waterline, I had to swipe them repeatedly to get there true intensity to show up. In the following image, I am wearing Plum on the top eye and Aqua on the other.

ULTA (12)

Each of the 5 palettes comes with a sponge tip applicator and a blush brush. The sponge applicators are good but the blush brush seems very sad.  I genuinely do not think I will find a good use for them. The bristles are not so soft and packed too sparsely.

ULTA (13)

A plastic cover has been used to enclose each palette, it seems sturdy enough for storage, but not good enough to protect the colors while travelling, in case you want to take just one palette with you somewhere.

  1. wow this looks super Nafisa 🙂

    I have quite a few ULTA products like their body butters and mists and I totally love them.. I so wish that someday we get ULTA products in India…

  2. love the shades nafisa. do you know if it is made in US or made in china. not all ulta products are made in USA. many are also made in china. which is why i am skeptical to buy ulta. i got once ulta as a gift the package said made in china. i just threw it away. china doesnot have any regulations for quality check.

  3. OOOOOOhhhhhhhhhh la la! I dont think your post deserves a comment Nafisa! I am sooo jealous that you got this as a gift, its not even funny 😛
    But seriously I mean this is sooo amazing, the eye pencils look sooo good! Please post Part 2 of this post like RIGHT NOW 🙂
