Tarte Holiday Set LIp Surgeon

Helloooooooooooooo! 
Welcome back to my blog :D 
So today I am going to be reviewing the Tarte Holiday High Performance Naturals? lol :)
First of all this set is amazing. You get 5 lip surgeons which retail individually for $24 each and you get this whole set for $34 I believe. They have great color payoff, they hydrate your lips and the colors are amazing :) The packaging it is soooo cute :) Since this is a limited edition set they have gold caps. They are selling out quick so if you want to try them go buy them now or never. So they come in 5 shades Sweet, Expose, Enchanted, Elite, & Escape. What i like most about this is the color variation you get a  deep shade a neutral pink, a shimmery one, and a nice pink one you can combine them to make different colors as well :)


 Elite is the darkest shade & its this nice cherry color & it has a glossy finish to it :)
 Escape is just a pink/purple color with glitter :)
 Espose is a matt color & its a beautiful natural pink (:
 Enchanted is a sheer raspberry color (:
 Sweet is a nice pink shade with a shimmery finish to it :}
 Swatches in natural lighting...
 swatches with flash :)
Overall I think its a great Holiday gift set i give it a 5 out. It has color variation, they are hydrating affordable in price, and build able with a mint tingle sensation on your lips :)

Mac Fabulousness Collection



Hello Everyone today Im back with a Mac Cosmetic Review:)

As everyone knows Mac takes out a Holiday Collection each Year. Well this year Mac decided to take like 7 mini collection; Glamour Daze, Fabulousness, Dive Desire, All For Glamour, Pimped Out, & Hang Up The Glamour. My favorite collection was the Fabulousness the packaging of the palettes are so darn cute. I got one of the three palettes and its in Warm Eyes. The other two palettes in Smoky Eyes and Neutral Eyes. In my opinion Warm Eyes was the best palette that had nice color pay off & perfect for the holidays. This retail at $39.50 each which is a lil too pricy but I bought it for collecting it since I think the packaging is amazing and I am using the eyeshadows because they are gorgeous.

Moving on to the colors we get 5 eyeshadows in Glamour Light (Soft Beige Satin), Retrospeck (Luster Light brown golden), Honest,(Luster Light Pink), Cognac (Golden Bronze Frost), and Sketch (Velvet plum purple). Honesty & Retrospeck have fall out & Sketch, Glamour Light, & Cognac have great pigmentation.


This is how the box that it comes in look likes

The packaging is adorable as you can see its cover in a satin cloth material.

The bow is plastic and its magnetic to open

There are 5 neutral eyeshadows

MAC Eye Shadows :)


So i finally decided to go to the Mac store & buy some eye shadows for my empty Mac palette. So i wanted colors that i can use everyday & were appropriate for fall too :) I got four colors:

Paradisco is a pink shimmery eyeshadow with gold speaks  i think its a good all over the lid color.






Soft Brown is a matt light brown color its a good blending color.



Swiss Chocolate is a deeper matt brown color perfect for the crease.




Cranberry is a beautiful burgundy/plum shimmery color and its perfect for fall and it looks great in the outer cornet & lower lash line.



Natural Lighting

I love Mac eyeshadows they are the best eyeshadows I have dried along with the Urban Decay ones. I really think they are worth the splurge because they will last you a long time and they are great quality and most important they are very pigmented so a little goes a long way. The pan form eyeshadows are $12.00 each. You can only get them in the pan form in a alone standing Mac not the ones inside Nordstrom or Macy's.

Benefit Perk Up Artist Kit


 Hello :) im back here with another review on a new Benefit product which is the Perk Up Artist Kit. This custom complexion corrector retails for $30 an Benefit online, Sephora, & Macys. You can use each corrector for its own purpose or mix them to get the right color for your concealer. So this kit comes with a tip manual, and it tell you what every product is for, it comes with 3 shades and one double sided brush.
Packaging
Tip Booklet :P
The Palette itself
each product has it lid so it wont dry out if you have it open
3 shades
Correct is a yellow tone
Cover is a orange tone
Brighten which is like a high beam and eye bright together


Im going to show you guys picture of where i applied the products :)
Im starting with the correct color and its this yellow tone shade that covers up redness and i just put it around my mouth, nose, and under eye area. Im just using my fingers to blend everything out because i don't think the brush works at least for me.
Then I'm getting the cover shade and putting that in my under eye a scar i have in my left cheek and any other acne scars.
Next I'm putting the brightening shade where i would normally highlight i think this is the eye bright but in a creamier form for this palette its awesome :)





The results are......................

She is going to be releasing a collection of nail polishes in the fall and there are 5 of them.

The colors are mostly neons.

L'OREAL COLOUR RICHE

Hello everyone :) Today Im going to be doing a review on the L'oreal Colour Riche lipsticks in Sunset Angora and Pink Cashmere. First of all they have very cool packaging they have a gold mirror packaging and their color around the bottom part, look like a high end lipstick but it is really not, they are only $7.99 and they are very good quality. They have a scent to them but it is a good scent. 




The Pink Cashmere reminds me of the Viva Glam Lady Gaga lipstick by MAC its a barbie pink lipstick with a Lilac undertone. Sunset Angora is a nice pinkish coral lipstick. This lipstick are like lip balm they moisturize your lips and give you color like a lipstick would. You can intensify the color if you would want to because they go on sheer. The lipstick have 0.10 oz of product.

Top picture is with no Flash 
  • Pink Cashmere Top swatch
  • Sunset Angora Bottom Swatch



Bottom Picture has Flash 

I really like this lipstick and they have a medium range of color selection but they are all fun colors to try out. They are very good quality and worth your money.

Benefit's Bella Bamba Box o' Powders

Hello Everyone :) Im going to do a review on the Bella Bamba Blush. First of all this blush is very popular and you can get in Ulta Sephora or any Benefit Cosmetic Stand. Bella Bamba retails for $28 everywhere you buy it. The packaging  is adorable just like the other Box o' Powders. The box has a magnetic top and the box is colorful it has a purple sequence  pattern with a purple and orange feather wrapping the left side of the box. 

Inside it has a purple background with a lace pattern. It has a small mirror on the lid of the box and it comes with its brush and divider. The brush has a purple wooden handle. I recommend you keep the divider that will prevent your blush brush ruining your blush. A lot of people dont like using the blush brush that it comes with but i love it because its the perfest size and its perfect to sweep up the blush to your temples.


The blush is a beautiful watermelon color it has golden bronze shimmer to it. The Bella Bamba blush has a very pleasant smell, I personally like it. It is definetly build able and it also gives you a highlighting effect. You get 0.28 oz of product 0.07 oz more than Mac Blushes. The top swatch its with flash and the bottom swatch its with natural lighting.

Stila Love At First Blush


This is a limited time edition product you can find it in Sephora online or in stores. It is only $20 for the set which comes with a blush and two lip glosses. The Blush has three different colors one in pink, baby pink and a light purple. Overall this blush is really shimmery. It is not that pigmented. I would not recommend it for darker skin tones because it will not show up like up expect it. The color when you combine all three is like a baby pink blush. You can always add more color by using the darker pink.





The Lip Glosses come in two colors in Pinkle Twinkle and in Bubble Gum. Pinkle Twinkle is a very shimmery with pink glitter in it, and this is a sheer shade so i would recommend to use another lipstick under it. Bubble Gum is my favorite because it is more pigmented, it is a Barbie Pink and i like to wear it on top of Lady Gaga Viva Glam.
