My Ulta did not have the Matte Velvet Collection in stock yet.
Now let's get into the goodies! For the month of October, Ulta is donating to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. They are calling it "Donate with a Kiss." As you can see they are using cute pink bags with the breast cancer ribbon on it. I chose to donate $5 and my gift with the donation was this pretty charm bracelet. Learn more about Donate with a Kiss here.
Here is everything that was in my shopping bag.
The polishes I picked up are Tinsley and India.
(Descriptions from Zoya's website)
Tinsley is "a full-coverage, rose gold foil metallic." I've been eyeing this color for a while and I thought it would be pretty for some upcoming vacations. India is "a deep, luxurious red with a gold liquid metallic shimmer." I knew this one would be gorgeous for fall.
*Edit
I ended up stopping by a different Ulta store a couple days later and found the Matte Velvet Collection so I exchanged India for Loredana. Zoya's website describes Loredana as "a medium gunmetal grey, packed with silvery shimmer and a velvety matte velvet finish. This shade gives the nails the appearance of brushed steel." I can't wait to try it out!
Lastly I have the free gift that came with my Zoya purchase. I was so thrilled when I opened the packaging to see FULL SIZED products! I already have a tiny bottle of the matte topcoat and I love it so I'm super happy to have the regular size too. I was extremely excited for this lipstick and, as always, Zoya did not disappoint. This is a rich, creamy red that went on smoothly with no tugging. I love how the finish really does look velvety. I rarely wear a red lip, but I may have to start doing it more often now that I have this lipstick. I'm surprised that the packaging of the lipstick itself has no branding on it at all, not even the name Zoya.
I did a little swatchy swatch on my wrist and I even took a selfie with the lipstick on.
I highly recommend that you get yourself over to Ulta ASAP before they run out of this awesome free gift!
xoxo,
Brooke
