I am going to Ulta tomorrow and was wondering if any of you ladies have tried out their store brand makeup? If so which are your favorites?
If you spend $20 on their brand of makeup you get a makeup bag valued at $88 so I am going to try out a few new things per your recommendations.
I have combo oily skin, mostly wear neutral eye colors and will wear just about any lip color.

Their makeup is alright, I got this makeup kit for twelve dollars with like 40 eyeshadows, 2 lipsticks, 4 eyeliners, 6 cream eyeshadows, 3 glitter pigments, 2 eyeliners, and a mini palette! haha. I have it to my sister, but the eyeshadows were pretty pigmented!! I still have the mini palette haha.

But I'm obsessed with the NYX brand it's my all time favorite brand, and the tea tree like from The Body Shop. Also love the UD naked skin foundation! (We have the same skin type)

Love getting nyx and drug store stuff. as far as ulta brand, I've used and liked their blushes and a few brushes. The best blush is called flushed and it's pretty for darker skin tones.

Thanks Kat, I'm sorry you can't get out there to take advantage of the sale.

Thanks a lot Renay, I was thinking about sampling the naked skin foundation since every photo I see posted of girls using it looks so nice and flawless! I am definitely picking up a butter gloss or two while I'm there as well. =)

Their primer is decent for the price, the liquid eyeliners pretty much do what they're supposed to, the eyeshadows aren't extremely pigmented but when you use a white base underneath the colors show up brighter. The foundation broke me out really badly so I don't recommend that. I do agree that the blushes are nice!

Their store brand makeup does not work well on my skin. Especially the lip products (bump central), the eyeshadows irritated my lids. The only thing that didn't cause my grief are the jumbo liners for eyes with the smudge tip. I'd splurge on the NYX...far better quality than the ULTA line. Especially the lippies...those lip butters are heaven.
