Sula Beauty Makeup Range Review, Photos and Giveaway

July 7, 2011

Eco-friendly Canadian brand Sula Beauty has finally made its way to the US!

Sula Beauty Makeup Range

The 7-piece makeup collection contains a variety of products for the eyes, cheeks and lips, including Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Lip & Cheek Tint, Blush, Eyeshadow, Eye Crayon and Creaseless Cream Shadow. All products are made with natural ingredients including jojoba oil and Shea butter, along with vitamin E and pro-vitamin B5 to fight against free radicals. They are also free of parabens, phthalates, silicones and petroleum byproducts and are cruelty-free.

The first thing that caught my eye was the white with floral print packaging. It is one of the prettiest I have ever seen, especially for a drugstore brand. There is also a nice, wearable range of colors that are suitable for different skin tones. The lip and cheek products come in mostly peaches, corals, pinks and reds while the eye products cover a wider range of colors like silver, gold, purple, teal, blue, pink and green.

The Lip Gloss is handsdown my favorite product from the line. It applies smoothly and has a creamy texture that feels moisturizing and non-tacky, just like MAC Cremesheen Glass. Pigmentation is also excellent and the color shows up exactly like what you see in the tube.

The Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow has a slightly drier texture and goes on semi-sheer, giving a buildable wash of color. While I like the softer effect it gives, it does have a tendency to crease and fade after a few hours.

The same goes for the Eye Crayon. It goes on sheer just like the cream shadow and does fade a bit. But I do the fact that it glides on so easily without tugging the skin.

Finally, the Blush is a gorgeous powder with very fine shimmer. It goes on really silky with great pigmentation and the best part? The color stays on all day.

Overall, I think Sula Beauty is a great line with wearable colors and I highly recommend their Lip Gloss and Blush. Oh and did I mention, everything only costs $8 a pop?

To share my love for this brand, I am now giving away a Lip Gloss in Summer Fling (a coral with gold shimmer) and First Kiss (a medium pink) to two lucky readers. All you have to do is leave a comment with your name and e-mail by July 10th. The giveaway is open to everyone.

Update: The giveaway has ended and the winners are yuyu35 and Linda Nguyen.

Sula Beauty is now available at Ulta stores and ulta.com.

    First kiss looks super pretty!
    But the blush…isn’t it a bit too pink? haha

    • Reply Phyllis July 8, 2011 at 8:38 am

      It’s not – as long as you apply with a light hand. It shows up a beautiful raspberry color on my NC30 skin.

    WOW! Thanks for the giveaway!
    I have tried their paint and peel nail polishes before and I’m not too fond of it. I haven’t tried Sula cosmetics before so I am looking forward to it.

    I recently purchased the lipstick and blush from this line. I was wondering about the cream shadows…do they crease even with a primer? If I don’t win this, will def check out the lipgloss.

    • Reply Phyllis July 9, 2011 at 10:33 pm

      Unfortunately yes but the colors are sheer so even if they do crease a little, it doesn’t get too messy. How did you like the lipstick? I was kind of tempted to get some too but figured I had WAY too many from MAC.

      • Reply Jody July 10, 2011 at 1:46 pm

        The lipstick is smooth and pigmented. There’s a slight scent. Like berry?

        • Reply Phyllis July 12, 2011 at 12:01 pm

          Oooooooh the lip gloss has a scent too and I LOVE it!

  • Reply Kaity August 15, 2011 at 2:12 pm

    is the eye crayon supposed to twist up? I bought one earlier today and upon examination at home I have discovered I cannot make mine twist or do anything along those lines. so I don’t know how to make more eyeliner emerge.

    • Reply Phyllis August 15, 2011 at 3:02 pm

      Hi Kaity,

      The eye crayon does not twist up. You just have to sharpen it.
