Let’s be honest, we all started off new in the beauty business at some point. Some earlier and others later. I was part of the later group. :) I have always used lip balms and lotions and cremes but I when it comes to eyeliner, concealer, primer or foundation, I wasn't too sure what to do with it. When I started to work with certified F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. I opened myself up to a whole new world. I was told it could become overwhelming but I wanted to take on that challenge. I received the suggestion to start my journey at Ulta. 

Now here I am walking into this gigantic store with all these beautiful ladies that seemed to have the perfect make up that I probably would never be able to apply to my face. That’s what I thought. 

I explained my situation and the Ulta makeup artist introduced me to, Benefit, one of her favorite brands. She suggested sticking with one brand to show maximum results. I explained that, being a new mom, sleepless nights happen a lot and therefore I might look very tired occasionally. She started me off with the “Stay Don’t Stray” primer to cover up dark circles. 

I used to apply powder next but having dry skin the Ulta makeup artist advised not to use powder anymore as it will dry out skin even more. 

She then chose a kit, that is named “Big Beautiful Eyes”, and I have to say I love it. The beautiful pink box includes boi-ing as a primer, a pink base shadow, cocoa shimmer contour shadow, a rich chocolate brown liner shadow and 2 brushes for easy application. On top of that, it has a mirror built in for those times when I need to apply my makeup on the go because I didn't have time to do it at home. For beginners, a step by step description on how to apply the product is included as well. Awesome choice!

 

My makeup session was then finished with a great combination of eyeliner and mascara and the beautiful "Hoola" blush which matches the eye shadow amazingly!

I have to say thank you to the Ulta team! It was a great experience to come into a store with little knowledge and be treated like a queen who gets great insider makeup tips from a professional. I am sure my next makeup shopping trip will be to Ulta again!
