Review: Tarte Tartelette Toasted Palette

Hey guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts and some looks that I created using the Tarte Tartelette Toasted palette. For those of you unfamiliar with this product, it's Tarte's 3rd palette in the Tartelette collection. The first palette is all matte shadows. The second is a mixture of matte and shimmers with a more cool toned theme. (You can read my review of the original Tartelette palette HERE) My friend El got me the Tartelette Toasted palette for Christmas and I have had quite a while to experiment and gather my opinion of the product. I've also created a tutorial using this palette along with some other Tarte products. Stay tuned for that. Until then, keep reading to hear my thoughts on this palette!

Tarte Tartelette Toasted Palette
Here is what is said about this product on the Tarte site:
"A party-in-a-palette (we’re talking 12, all-new warm & cozy shades) to celebrate our tartelettes & the wearable shades they asked for. Lets you mix & match 12 warm, rich eyeshadows (7 wearable mattes & 5 lustrous shimmers), arranged in separate rows to make 3 easy-to-DIY looks. The superblendable Amazonian clay-infused powder formula glides on like a cream, providing longwearing, intense payoff that’s never chalky or patchy."

Review: BoxyCharm January 2018

Hi Guys,
I know my SUPER late because I already have my February box but I really wanted to get my review of January's up first. 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 January was "Rock 2018".  After seeing the spoilers I knew I was going to like this box I just didn't realize how much. Check out my video below to see my unboxing of my January BoxyCharm!

January Favorites

Hey Guys,
I know we are almost half way though February but I felt the need to share my January Favorites. I already took the time to film the video so I figured I would still put it up. Even though we haven't had a super cold or snowy winter, I am so excited that its almost the Spring. I can't wait for longer days and warmer weather. I didn't have anything too exciting happen in the past couple months. However, I have decided to redo my living room which has been pretty exciting. My house has literally looked the same since I first moved into it 5 years ago. I have wanted to change things for quite a while since it's looked the same since when me and my ex first got married. I needed to get the old out and in with the new. My hesitation was that I knew it wasn't going to be cheap. If I could redecorate my whole entire house all at once I definitely would. However, money wise, that's just not that realistic for me. I've decided to do one room at a time and started with my living room. I will do my kitchen and bathrooms this summer. My bedroom decor has changed a little bit over the years but unfortunately all the furniture will stay as is until I move out of this house. As I'm typing this post from my living room couch I look around and it just feels better. It feels like my own now. Not mine and my ex's stuff. Anyways, I know my blog is mainly beauty and fashion but if you guys wanted to see my living room fully redecorated I could post some pics and let you know where I got each of the items. It's still a work in progress but I think I will have most of the decorating finished in the coming weeks. Back to what this post is about, my January Favorites. Check out my video below to see what I was loving last month!

Review: Pixi Glow Tonic and Peel & Polish


Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on some Pixi Beauty "Skintreats" that I've been using for the past couple of months. I've wanted to try Pixi skincare for quite a while. My friend Molika picked me up the Glow Tonic and Peel & Polish as a gift. I was super excited to try them out. I'm finally ready to share my thoughts. Keep reading to hear how I liked these products.
Review: Pixi Glow Tonic and Peel & Polish

Pixi Skintreats Glow Tonic $15.00-$29.00
Review: Pixi Glow Tonic and Peel & Polish
Here is what is said about this product on the Pixi Beauty site:
• Exfoliates and purifies the skin with Glycolic Acid
• Ginseng improves circulation and energizes
• Aloe vera soothes and hydrates
• Refines the appearance of pores
• Gently accelerates cell renewal to reveal a brighter, glowing complexion
• Balances, heals and soothes for radiant, healthier looking skin
• Alcohol free
• Suitable for all skin types
• Not tested on animals


Ingredients
Water/Aqua/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycolic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract, Hexylene Glycol, Fructose, Glucose, Sucrose, Urea, Dextrin, Alanine, Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid, Hexyl Nicotinate, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Biotin, Panthenol, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance (Parfum), Caramel, Red 4 (CI 14700). 250ml/ 8.5 fl. oz.

You are supposed to use this in the morning or at night and apply to a cleansed face. 

On to my thoughts:
I have tried may different toners and this has come to be one of my favorites. It doesn't really have a scent which is good if you are sensitive to stuff like that. It does give you that slight tingling feeling which I love because it makes me feel like the product is actually doing something. This is why I really like products that have Glycolic Acid in the. I haven't paid too much attention to my pores but I will start doing so to see if they look smaller. I do feel like my skin has looked less red and just better since using this product. I recieved a giant bottle of the glow tonic from Pixi around Christmas so I won't run out for quite a while. When I finally do, I will definitely repurchase.

Review: Tarte Face Products*

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to be sharing my thoughts on some Tarte face products. You can see my previous reviews of lip products HERE and the Tartelette palette HERE. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on each of the products below!

Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer in Park Ave Princess $30.00

Review: Tarte Face Products*
Here is what is said about this product on the Tarte site:
"Tarte's best-selling bronzing powder in the iconic park ave princess  shade.Want to create that perfect seamless, sunkissed radiance? It’s now easier than ever to bronze & glow with Tarte’s best-selling, multi-tasking bronzer formulated to blend and build your perfect level of uniform bronze. Available in Tarte’s signature park ave princess radiant bronze shade, the waterproof formula adds instant warmth and dimension across a variety of skin tones as Amazonian clay helps improve overall skin clarity, texture and tone for an overall lit from within complexion."
Review: Tarte Face Products*
On to my thoughts:
I have always wanted to try this bronzer. While it does have some shimmer in the pan, I don't notice any on my face. I would consider this a medium toned bronzer. It's darker than most of the bronzers I use during the winter however, it really doesn't look too dark on me. I think I will be able to use this all year round which is great. This is pigmented but is more buildable which makes it easy to wear when I am at my lightest (like right now). I definitely agree that this gives dimension and flow to your face. I am really loving this bronzer and have been reaching for it often.
