Review number 3: Tarte's Carried Away palette.

Hi everyone! I hope you have been enjoying my review posts. Here is number 3 and it will be on the Tarte Carried Away palette. Enjoy! xoxo. (:

The beautiful gold and purple case that the set came in. I love this because you can put sooooo much stuff in it! Great for traveling.

This set includes 8 lipglosses, an eyeshadow palette with 24 eyeshadows (the palette is in the pocket behind the mirror), a brush, a powder, a blush, and a mascara (not shown here).

I love this powder! It is a translucent powder and it feels so silky smooth on the skin and doesn't clog my pores or leave a white cast like some translucent powders.

I love this mascara sooooo much! I believe I have seen a difference in my lashes since using it and it really separates and  gives my lashes volume without making them look like spider legs.

Swatch of the blush. I think this just might be my new favorite blush (and I have a million blushes). Not only do I love the texture and wearing power of this but I adore the way it looks on my skin tone! Amazing!!!!!

All the eyeshadows. I do enjoy these eyeshadows but I do wish some of the lighter shades were more pigmented. The texture of these is nice and there is virtually no fall out with the shades that have glitter in them.

Eyeshadows swatched. From left to right: Snowfall in Paris, Golden Gate Bridge, Volcanic Ash, Pyramid Gold, Pearl River, Seychelles sand, touchdown in London, Martha's Vineyard, Pebble Beach, Boston brick, Spanish Sangria, and Napa grapes.

Swatches continued. From left to right: Georgia peach, Tuscan sun, acai jungle, coral reef, Iceland air, Mystic Seaport, concrete jungle, Hampton waves, Sunshine state, Hawaiian palm, olive grove, and sin city. 

All the lipglosses. I LOVE these! They are greatly pigmented, not too sticky, and I love the minty smell they have.

Lipglosses swatched. From left to right: Nuria, Mel, Jena, Mer, Casey, Heath, Anna, and Ali.

FOTD using the set.

Review number two: Sephora favorites In The Glow set.

Hi everyone! So here is my second review and it is going to be on the Sephora favorites In The Glow set. Enjoy! xoxo (:

All the products the set came with. They are all mini sizes. From left to right: Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc in Golden Mosaic, NARS Laguna bronzer, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil matte bronzer, bareMinerals all over face color in Pure Radiance, Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush in Splendor, Stila convertible color in Peony, Tarte cheek stain in Flush, Benefit High Beam, Lorac perfectly light in Spotlight.

Swatch of the Laura Mercier shimmer bloc. This is a very pretty bronze shimmery bronzer but I prefer to use it as a highlight because I don't like contouring with shimmery bronzers. This really is gorgeous and a great highlight. I don't think I would buy it in the full size though.

Swatch of NARS Laguna bronzer. This is a gorgeous matte bronzer and I love contouring with it! It looks great on my skin tone. I do want to buy this in the full size.

Swatch of Too Faced's Chocolate Soleil matte bronzer. This smells exactly like chocolate and I would totally buy it in the full size for that alone! :D It is an amazing bronzer for contouring though.

Swatch of bareMinerals all over face color. I freaking LOVE this stuff, it is such a beautiful color, perfect for highlighting.

Swatch of Tarte blush. I am head over heels in love with this blush!!!!! The texture is so smooth, the color is so pigmented, and it really does last all day! I want to try more of these bushes in the full size.

Swatch of Stila convertible color. I love the formulation and color of this so much. I really love how it looks on my skintone!!!!!! I would definitely buy this in the full size.

Swatch of Tarte cheek stain. I love this cheek stain! I don't usually like cheek stains but this is an exception.. I love how it applies and how it looks on my skin. I would buy this in the full size.

Swatch of Benefit High Beam. I like this highlighter and I think it's pretty but I don't think I would buy it in the full size. Simply because I wish it was a bit more pigmented.

Swatch of Lorac highlighter. This is probably my new holy grail highlighter!!!!! It is seriously phenomenal, it is such a smooth texture and it looks amazing on my skin tone. I will most definitely buy this in the full size. 

FOTD!

My review on Too Faced's Love Sweet Love palette.

Hi everyone! I know I haven't posted in forever but I have been crazy busy!!!!! Anyways, I have decided to do some reviews and looks of a bunch of palettes and other products that I've bought and tried since December. The first one is Too Faced's Love Sweet Love palette. I hope you enjoy these and if you  have any questions feel free to ask! xoxo. (:

The absolutely adorable bag that everything came in!!!!!!! I love the color.

This is how everything came when I got the palette at first except it was wrapped in tissue paper which I thought was really pretty.

Could this packaging be any cuter? I love Too Faced not only for their products but also because they have some of the cutest packaging of any brand!

The eyeshadows, blushes, and lipglosses closer up.

Primed and Poreless skin smoothing face primer. I like the texture and feel of this but it isn't one of my favorite primers but I do like it.

Shadow Insurance anti-crease eyeshadow primer. I really really love this! It's lightweight and sheer and really make my eyeshadow pop more and it helps them stay on and not fade for hours!

Perfect eyes waterproof eyeliner. I obviously used this a lot! It is a very deep, creamy black and it really does last all day. Definitely one of my new favorite eyeliners. 

Lashgasm mascara. I love love love LOVE this mascara! It's a pretty dry formula which I like because my lashes are quite short. It really separates and volumizes my lashes and I just love how it looks!

Eyeshadows swatched. From left to right: Vanilla Sugar, Mocha Ice, Ganache, Strawberry Cream, Burnt Sugar, and Licorice Glitz. I really like all of these shades, no fall out and they're pretty darn pigmented. My favorites are Burnt Sugar, Mocha Ice, and Licorice Glitz.

Blushes swatched. From left to right: Pink Caramel, and Lollipop. These are both beautiful blushes, they have a smooth texture to them and are highly pigmented. My favorite of the two is Lollipop.

Lipglosses swatched. From left to right: Raspberry Truffle, and Bubble Gum. These are both nice lipglosses, they aren't too sticky but I do wish they were more pigmented on the lips and that they lasted longer. My favorite of the two is Raspberry Truffle.

My face of the day using Shadow Insurance, Primed and Poreless face primer, eyeshadows (Burnt Sugar all over the lid, Mocha Ice in the crease, and Vanilla Sugar as the highlight), Perfect Eyes eyeliner, Lashgasm mascara, Lollipop as my blush, and Raspberry Truffle on my lips. Foundation is Kat Von D's Lock It foundation in number 48, setting powder is Bareminerals pressed powder in light, concealer is Kat Von D's Lock It concealer in number 22, and I used Maybeline's Define-a-brow in light to shape and fill in my brows.

A better look at my eye look.

Overall I think this is a nice palette, it's not one of my absolute favorites but I do like it and will continue to use it. I do wish the eyeshadows and lipglosses were a bit more pigmented but they're still nice and I love the blushes. I know this set was limited edition and I'm sorry that you can't find it anymore! I just wanted to share my thoughts on it. (:
