Review+Swatches: Sula blushes at Ulta

Continue on for the swatches and review!

Last week at Ulta I spotted a new display of makeup from a line called Sula. There were eye shadows, lip glosses, blushes, and creaseless cream eye shadows, among many other things. Everything from the glosses to the blushes is priced at $8. The blushes intrigued me the most because the colors looked so pretty in the pan and for eight bucks, why not give them a shot. So this is what Sula has to say about their blushes:

Sula Beauty offers playfully pretty blushes in gorgeous on-trend colors that are long lasting, easy to blend and made with natural ingredients.

I really liked that these blushes are made with natural ingredients and it is also paraben and phthalate free. Currently, there are four colors in this line of blushes which are: My Little Secret, Forget Me Not, Girl Next Door, and Almost Famous.

I was not expecting much from these blushes because I have yet to find a drugstore blush that lasts on my oily skin. So I was really surprised to see that these blushes have great staying power-- about 10 hours! Also, they are not chalky (with the exception of My Little Secret, which is a tad chalky when swatching) and have great pigmentation. All of the shades have shimmer, but it doesn't translate very well when applied to the cheeks which I actually prefer. It has enough shimmer to look glowy but not disco-ball esque. I definitely recommend these blushes because they are very good quality for the price.

Color Descriptions:

My Little Secret: Light milky pink with very slight silver shimmer

Forget Me Not: Light apricot peach with slight peachy-golden shimmer

Girl Next Door: Vibrant slightly coral-pink with prominent silver shimmer
Almost Famous: Dark pink, slightly fuchsia with slight silver shimmer
