ULTA recently opened up near me and can I shout about how much I love them? They carry everything a beauty junkie loves. Not nearly as expensive as Sephora but they do house many different brands (some pricey, some not!) It's fun for everybody and their beauty budget. That's how I found out about NYX. I love this brand. I'm obsessed with their colors (especially lipsticks) and the adorable names each item is given. Such as: Candy Buttons, Bit 'o Honey or Cotton Candy. And sometimes they name Cities too.

Right now I am really into their butter lipsticks which melt on your lips for a full, yet lightweight coverage. They smell great too.

Then there is the matte lipgloss. Oh my gosh. These are amazing, they glide on glossy and dry matte (and keep your lips hydrated!) A color that does not budge. You can choose to follow up with a clear gloss, I don't though because I love the matte finish so much.

P.S. Did I mention these all run at only $5.99 each. That's a steal in my book! ;)

Which do you like or want to try first? What are your favorite lipstick colors? :)
