Review: Tarte Tartelette Palette*

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to share my thoughts on the OG Tartelette Palette. I received this from Tarte before the holidays and while this is not brand new, I still wanted to share my thoughts on it. I already owned the Tartelette in Bloom and I just got the Tartelette Toasted for Christmas. I am excited to own the whole collection and think that they each have their own qualities that set them apart from one another. Do you NEED to own all 3? No, especially if you are looking for specific things in a palette. But if you are a makeup lover like me, I think that owning all 3 is perfectly fine. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on this palette and to see a look that I created!

Review: Tarte Lip Products*

Hey Guys,

Over the next month or so you will see a bunch of reviews of the Tarte products that were sent to me. I have been trying everything out over the past couple of months and wanted to share my overall thoughts on each. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on the lip products that I recieved. Keep reading to hear more!

Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in OG $20.00

Here is what is said about this product on the Tarte site:

"A full coverage, transfer-proof liquid lipstick with a quick-dry matte finish. Offers vibrant, opaque color with concentrated mineral pigments in a liquid-to-matte lip paint that dries instantly with no transferring. The featherlight Comfortflex formula means it moves with your lips without drying out, cracking or bleeding. "

OG is considered a greige. It pulls a bit on the purple/mauve side on me. It looks lighter in my swatch above. It's darker in person. I really like this color and don't really have anything exactly like it. In terms of formula, I really love the quick dry matte lip paints. I like the Creamy matte lip paints a bit more as I feel they are a little more comfortable on the lips. However, there are many more shades in this formula. This color is super pigmented and is long wearing. It does need to be reapplied after eating and drinking. I do suggest applying lip balm before wearing as it will help moisturize your lips and prevent your lips from drying out.

December Favorites

Hey Guys,

I can't believe we are already half way through January! I have been pretty behind on blog posts and videos. The holiday break got me off track then I got sick. I haven't been super motivated to get all of these videos edited that I have filmed over the past month. It takes so much time and I have been enjoying laying on the couch watching movies instead of glued to my computer every night. I wish there were more hours in a day to do both but for me, it's not realistic. I get out of work at 5:30 p.m. and don't get home until almost 6:00 p.m. (which is way less of a commute than most people in MA). By the time I work out, cook dinner, and sit down its already 7:30-8:00 at night. The last couple of hours before bed I am making lunch, showering, laundry etc so it really doesn't leave much time for blogging/YouTube, looking for a new job, AND relaxing. That being said, I have a TON of reviews I need to get to writing. Many of them are Tarte but I have a handful of other brands as well. I have been trying so many new products lately that I had a hard time picking just a few items to discuss. Check out my video below to see what I was loving last month!

Review: BoxyCharm December 2017 & Limited Edition Box

Hey Guys,

Happy New Year! I had over a week off after Christmas and had all these plans to get stuff done before going back to work after the new year.  While I did get some things done, I have been super sick for the past few days and it has halted my blog work. I have a ton of reviews to bang out but right now I need to focus on feeling better so that I can do so. Unit then, this is the long awaited  review of my BoxyCharm for December and the Limited Edition Box. For those of you unfamiliar with BoxyCharm, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 4-5 FULL SIZED products each month. The subscription is $21.00 a month and usually has a theme.  The theme for December was "Glitz & Glam". I wasn't super excited about this box at first glance but I did know that most items would get used. I also will be talking about the infamous Limited Edition box and the items I received in that box!  Check out my video below to hear my thoughts on each product.
