This is crud

LittleBunny (383 reviews)

I didn't like it. The color was not nearly as vibrant as it appeared in the pack, it had sort of a dusty quality to it...and the compact is very cheaply made-- the top broke off almost immediately. You can get better eyeshadow for much less money. — 11 months, 4 weeks ago

Really good shadow, in TONS of colors.

Ulta eyeshadow is one of the best kept secrets of drugstore makeup. At this point, I probably own about two dozen of these eye shadows in almost every color of the rainbow. Some of my favorites are Toast, Golden Olive, Safari, Galaxy and Truffle. Ulta is one of the few brands that has such a wide array of colors (besides Urban Decay and MAC), AND that are inexpensive (besides NYX). I will admit that some of the colors are of better quality than others—but that's true of many makeup lines, even MAC. Honestly, I think that some of the Ulta colors are comparable to Stila or Urban Decay in terms of quality, especially the shimmer shades. The texture is nice and smooth, and they're fairly pigmented on average. Sometimes you have to layer on the color to really get it to look as vibrant as it looks in the pan, or you can just apply it wet. The matte shades tend to be a little lower in pigmentation, and just a touch chalky compared to higher end shadows, but pretty average compared to drugstore lines. The lasting power on these is pretty typical—I can't wear any shadow for more than a few hours without creasing, unless I throw on some eye primer. As long as you use eye primer with these, even oily-lidded gals can get a full day's worth of wear. I love the packaging. It's super sturdy, and the clear plastic cover means you can easily find whichever color you're looking for. At regular price, these are a great bargain because the amount of product in the pan is HUGE. What's even more exciting is that these frequently go on sale for just TWO DOLLARS. That's unbelievable. If you ever just need some wacky colors for Halloween or some other costume occasion, these are also perfect for that! I will definitely continue to repurchase these. — 6 months, 4 weeks ago

ULTA Eyeshadow

CaroleVonAllten (985 reviews)

These are the best, and they are not pricey. They are highly pigmented. I use a primer with every shadow I use, and these shadows really stay on and don't crease or smear. Highly recommend. — 6 months, 4 weeks ago
