The Tartelette Palette

When I heard that one of my favorite cosmetics company was coming out with a new all matte neutral eyeshadow palette I was so excited! 

Then I started to see photos and videos on the palette and became a little hesitant. The colors didn't look like they would suit me, but then I saw the palette in person at Sephora and it was LOVE. 

The packaging is beautiful. Sleek, high quality, and classy. I could see myself traveling with this palette. The variety of shades if perfect for everyday to smokey evening looks.

The purple heavy palette is probably more suited for hazel and brown eyed ladies.

Multi- Tasker is defiantly living up to it's name as a great cut crease shade, liner, outer corner day shade, and a great brow powder all in one!

I'm quite happy with this palette and especially since I haven't bought a new Tarte palette in a year.

What are your thoughts? Will you be purchasing this new baby?

What I Got For Christmas 2014

Just wanted to do a quick post and share with you my beauty loot from Christmas. Lots of folks like to film "What I Got For Christmas" videos, but I find it so hard these days when my presents are scattered from Black Friday through Christmas.

Here are the beauty items that I received this year. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Christian Louboutin Nail Colour The Pops in Wherever
My husband really wanted to be able to get me this beautiful polish because of my wedding shoes. I talk all about why I would spend $50 on a nail polish here. Also I tell my story about the blue Louboutins and my wedding in my last vlog for vlogmas here.

Tartelette Matte Palette
While stopping in to pick up my polish, I saw the much anticipated tartelette palette. Seeing it in person I couldn't pass it up, especially when I knew I had a bit extra on the gift card I received. The palette in person is so gorgeous and non of the pictures I've seen has done it justice. More on the palette in my next posts.

Chanel Reverie Parisienne Les 4 Ombres in 236 Tisse Fantaisie
Chanel's new spring collection is out and I picked out one of the eyeshadow quads. The blushes while beautiful, just didn't look right on my complexion. More on this beauty in future blog posts.

What did you get for Christmas?

Perfect Summer All in One Treatment Primer

I'm a big fan for less is more. I'm even a bigger fan of multipurpose products, especially in the sweltering summer months. Summer is for get up and go enjoy the beautiful weather, not spending your whole day pimping. You want to look effortless not over done.

Tarte came out with their BB tinted treatment primer last year and I finally gave it a try this year. I love most Tarte Cosmetic products and this one did not disappoint.

The texture feels amazing and goes on so smooth. I feel my skin texture improving and it would make a great primer as well for any powder foundations like my Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation, but this is definitely great for wearing alone as well. I find the color options to be a bit challenging for me with a slight tan as I have now. you can see what I mean in the video. I started with light, then exchanged it for medium, but the medium is a bit too orange for me, so ended up sticking with the light and will have to add more bronzer to it. If this was winter I'd be fine.

You can see my first impression here:

What are your thoughts on your goto summer products? Will you give this BB treatment a try? Leave me a comment or tweet me.
