Remember when I mentioned the ULTA Spring Color Collection in my last entry? Well, I was really determined to get it for myself. :) I guess this also counts for my "splurge of the month," since I'm on such a tight budget now! Haha.
Anyway, today I'd like to show you everything it has to offer, because I really like what they've included (I think it's better than Sephora's Spring Collection, to be honest, and much cheaper). I can't say I'll be using everything, but the collection has me set with eye shadows for the entire season!
Here's a quick overview:
• 36 eye shadows
• 4 blushes
• 1 bronzer
• 15 lip colors
• 1 eye shadow base
• 2 full-size lipsticks
• 3 mini lip plumpers
• 1 lip liner
• 1 eyeliner
• 1 mirror
• 1 bronzer/blush brush, 2 lip brushes, 8 shadow brushes
First, we'll take a look at my favorite part of the box, the eye collection! Let me say it again: there are 36 shadows! There are four sections, and a shadow base in the center (which looks a little iffy to me because it's not sealed in any way), with eight brushes. All shadows appear to have a slight shimmer, and are well-coordinated for mixing and matching!
Colors are listed from top to bottom, left to right.
#1 - BrownsTruffle • Aztec Gold • Terracotta
Rose Dusk • Vanilla • Cafe Ole
Golden Olive • Cashmere • Chocolate
#2 - Purples and GraysPlatinum • Poolside • Lavender
Peacock • Iceland • Zephyr
Goddess • Wildflower • Galaxy
#3 - Blues and GreensSage • Radiant • Green
Key Lime • Silk • Lush
Sea Breeze • Turquoise • Fetish
#4 - Pinks and PurplesPink • Sherbert • Amethyst
Chiffon • Cherry • Purple
Lilac Mist • Tempted • Vineyard
Next up are the bronzer and blushes. Since there is only one bronzer, not everyone will be able to use it. :( But there are four blush colors, which is a better range, at least. The two bottom colors look like they could actually be used as bronzers...

BlushesTender • Sun Kissed
Now to the lip color section. This is the one I'll probably use the least, since I've never been a fan of lip palettes. But who knows, maybe I'll change my mind!
Top:Frutti
Petal
Sugar
Princess
Passion
Pouty
Bottom:Goddess • Blush Coral • Dacquiri
Nude Shimmer • Iced Cappuccino • Romantic Red
Last but not least, the bottom tray pulls out to reveal more lip products! Included are three mini plumpers, two lipsticks, a lip liner pencil, and... an eyeliner pencil? I guess they had nowhere else to put it. ;)Lipsticks
Flirty Pink • Sheer Pout
Lip Plumpers
Nude Glow • Glisten • Bella
I'm picky about my lip plumpers, so I'll probably just use these for the color - all three look like they have a nice, subtle shimmer - but I may use the lipsticks and liners.
Overall, there are some amazing colors and products in here. I know I'll be playing with this for quite a while, and am already having fun creating some pretty spring eye looks. :) I'll post any decent photos I can get, too.
Remember that the ULTA Spring Color Collection is only $14.99 with coupon through 4/19! After that, it's about $18 - still a steal. :)
Enjoy!
Want swatches of any of these products? Leave me a note!

The set looks so much better than the holiday one I got a couple years ago. How are the eyeshadow pigments?
I like them a lot! If you've ever used any of ULTA's shadows, I'm pretty sure it's the same formula. Same colors too.
They aren't SUPER super pigmented (like something from MAC or Urban Decay or HIP), but they're really nice anyway, and there are plenty of colors. They look good alone or layered, and since there are lots of pretty spring colors, they're great for days you just want something subtle :) But then there's also the more dramatic colors like the dark purples, greens, black, etc.
I mostly got it for the shadows... hehe.
WOW WOW WOW!! I'm so loving palettes, but what I don't like about them if they're not that pigmented :)....WOW WOW WOW..thanks for the post :) I'm so happy just by looking at it :) hehe
