Ulta's 56 Piece Beauty in a Flash Collection

So recently I was on www.ulta.com, when am I not?!?!? Anyways I ended seeing that they had their 56 pc Beauty in a Flash Collection on sale ( reg. $24.99) it was $19.99.I decided to order it since I don't own any products by Ulta the company. The Collection includes ( for those wondering):
  • 12 Eye Shadow Palettes ( 48 shades)
  •  3 Blush Shades
  • 1 Bronzer
  • 2 Dual-Ended Eye Liners
  • 2 Super Shiny Lip Glosses
  • Beauty Guide, Applicators & Removable Mirror
  • The reusable case is perfect for travel & on the go beauty fixes or remove the products and use it for a tablet or netbook.
Today I decided to play around with the kit and swatch the colors for you. My first thought on the product before opening the kit was that I couldn't even tell it was made by Ulta until I saw the Ulta logo on the little Zipper.

While I was swatching colors I did notice that the shadows are very pigmented and went on smoothly, I also did not break out or get a rash which was a plus since I have very sensitive skin.
Here's the part you have been waiting for...... the swatches!!!
image
The first color I swatched was this beautiful Barbie pink cheek color in the color "Playful".

image
This is another "cheek" color, the name of the color is called Adore. Honestly I don't know how they can call this a cheek color. I think of it as more of a bronzer than a cheek color.

image
This is Ulta's Super Shinny Gloss in #03 Charmed, its a pretty pearly baby pink, it felt a bit sticky to me on the hand but then again most glosses are.

image
The First mini palette of colors is called "Reboot". This little mini set is all matte colors. The colors include:
  • Butter Cream
  • Au Natural
  • Sable
  • Milk Chocolate

image
Second Mini Palette is called "Byte". The colors in this mini set are all pearly except for the blue which has mini pieces of glitter in it. The colors include:
  • Lustre
  • Moody
  • Plum Smoke
  • Electronic Lights

image
Third Mini Palette is called "Eye Candy". This mini set has what I like to call "fall colors". All the colors are pearly. The colors include:
  • Glittering Sand
  • Willow
  • Amethyst
  • CafĂ© Ole

image
Fourth Mini Palette is called "Hot Spot". The colors in this mini set have two pearly colors, one glitter color and one matte. The colors include:
  • Iceland
  • Twilight
  • Galaxy
  • Blackout

image
Fifth Mini Palette is called " Cyber Chic". The colors in this mini set are mostly matte colors except there is one pearly color. The colors include:
  • Bone
  • Callalily
  • Grace
  • Stand By Me

image
Sixth Mini Palette is called "Cookie". The colors in this mini set are all pearly colors. The colors include:
  • Bloom
  • Zephyr
  • Majesty
  • Plum Noir

image
This is the third blush in the set called "Bashful". Its a pretty coral color, and reminded me of NARS Orgasm blush and of Benefits Bella Bamba but without the golden undertones.

image
The set like I listed above contains two Dual- Ended Eye liners in the colors: Black/ Brown & Majesty/ Envy. The eyeliners went on smoothly which is a plus. I really can't wait to play around with the purple one.

image
The bronzer in this kit is called " Glow", it literally is the same color as my skin at the moment since I've gotten so tan this summer so you can't even see the swatch. So there's not much I can say about this one.

image
Seventh Mini Palette is called " Unplugged". The colors are all pearly, the colors include:
  • Moonbeam
  • Peacock
  • Cobalt
  • Sin City

image
Eighth Mini Palette is called " Icon" and again these colors reminded me of fall. All the colors are pearly, colors include:
  • In The Buff
  • Copper Bronze
  • Firework
  • Mink

image
The ninth Mini Palette is called "Refresh", all the colors are pearly except for one which is matte. The colors include:
  • Sage
  • Ivy League
  • Verdigris
  • Golden Olive

image
The tenth Mini Palette is called " Showstopper" all the colors are pearly in this set as well. The colors include:
  • Stardust
  • Sunburst
  • Aztec Gold
  • Brown Sugar

image
The Eleventh Mini Palette is called "Java" I feel that it is appropriately named since they are all nude colors, these colors are all pearly as well. The colors include:
  • Silk
  • Lustre
  • Truffle
  • Toast

image
The last mini palette in the set is called " Attached" all these colors are matte. Colors include:
  • Naked
  • Yogurt
  • Lock & Key
  • Havana Nights

image
The second Ulta Super Shiny Gloss is #17 Illusion. This color is a very pearly coral color which is really pretty.

image
The last thing in the set is this Beauty in a Flash look card that shows you different eye shadow looks with the corresponding color, which is helpful for beginners or for people that need eye shadow ideas.
All in all this set is what I like to call a "Beauty on a Budget" item. Its great for people that like a little of everything. However,I do not recommend it to people that dislike pearly colors since most of the colors are pearly. I also wish they would have put more colors besides nudes, blues, blacks and purples. I'm hoping they come out with a set with bright colors since that is more up my ally. I do however, like this set and am looking forward to playing around with it some more.
For all those interested the product number for this is: 2257949 and can be purchased on www.ulta.com while supplies last.
