Melissa Michelle Makeup Palette – $20.00
Melisa Michelle is a great YouTube makeup blogger, and shes so great to watch. I was excited to hear about her new collab with Ulta, and was eager to get my hands on this palette. I always love supporting makeup brand collaborations with YouTubers’ because that is where I thrive to be. But for now, I am just a makeup lover blogging about what I love most! Currently, if you decide to pick this palette up at Ulta, you get a free 12 piece Ulta Makeup bag full of goodies. And you seriously can’t beat the price of this. I mean, $20 is such a steal.
This is my first try in an Ulta Beauty Collection, and I am so impressed with the quality of their products.
Now, let’s get to this amazing palette!
Here are the swatches of every color –
The first four eye shadows in this palette is what made me jump to the purchase. When I did my swatches at the store, I was in shock on how pigmented they were with one swipe. The swatches you see on my arm are all one swipe because I wanted to be honest with you when showing you the true pigmentation of these colors. As you can tell, the more matte colors don’t give off that much color. The lighter colors barely showed up on my arm, but maybe if I try it with Fix+ and some white eye shadow base, something will show up. I haven’t tried them all on my eyes yet, but I did try a look out with this palette, so keep reading to see it! Another few notes about these eye shadows are that they are so soft to the touch and easy to blend.
The highlight on this was B L I N D I N G!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t expect so much color by itself, but it did it. The swatch on my arm gives it no justice to what it looked like on my face. I applied with a Mac 224 brush and gave my cheek bones some light.
The blush in the palette is another swatch that had no justice. This was such a cute light pink on my cheeks. It wasn’t a natural finish, but it wasn’t a too glam finish either. It also didn’t fade on my cheeks throughout the time wearing it.
The matte lipstick that is in this set is called Scandy, and it is a dark pink nude. On my lips, it came out a lot darker than this swatch and was almost a dark brown pink. A pro to this lipstick it that it is extremely long lasting. I couldn’t believe it, and how well it almost matched up to Kat Von D’s lippies staying power. The one thing I did not like was the wand of the stick. It is not stiff, and it has more of a wobble to it. It was hard for me to create a fuller lip look with this wand, and that was such a downfall.
This is my up close shot of my makeup look with the Melisa Michelle palette. I used the colors Bing Bing, Teresita and Kades.
This was my full look including highlight, blush and eye shadow –
I hope you enjoyed reading this review, and I hope you pick up the palette. It is such a great deal for good quality beauty.
As always my opinions are 100% truthful and honest, and I would want nothing else from anyone else! Stay beautiful and keep the highlight shine on!
