Hey guys,

Today I want to share my review of the new Juvia's Place Shade Sticks. I was lucky enough to get the whole shade range sent to me in PR. Their new Shade Sticks come in 30 shades but I gave away the tan/deeper shades to other beauty influencers not on the PR list so that they can try them out and review them as well. I will be reviewing the Fair through medium shades but will leave a link for the full range below. Keep reading to hear more about these new Shade Sticks and my thoughts on them!

Hey Guys,
Today I want to share the new Juvia's Place collection with you! I was super excited last week to get an email informing me that I would be getting a package from Juvia's place. I filled out a PR form a while back so it was a nice surprise. For those of you unfamiliar with Juvia's Place it is a beauty brand that caters to people of color. The beauty industry hasn't always kept women of color in mind when creating beauty products. Juvia's Place was created by Chichi Eburu to fill that void and not only offer high quality yet affordable beauty products to people of color but for people of all colors. 

The new collection is a collaboration with Fumi Desalu-Vold who is an actress, model, blogger, and YouTuber. This collaboration has been in the works for about two years and finally launched last week. Fumi wanted to create a collection that not only stayed true to her style/essence but one that also represented the strength and beauty of women world wide; thus the Fumi x Juvia's Place Queen Collection was born. Keep reading to learn about each of the products in the collections as well as my thoughts on the palette that I received!

Review: Tarte Tarteist Pro Amazonian Clay Palette

Hey Guys,

Today I'm finally going to share my thoughts on the Tarte Tarteist Pro Palette that I picked up at Gen Beauty NYC. Several people asked me to review this product. As you guys  know, I'm a huge fan of Tarte products in general. When this palette first came out I didn't feel the urge to buy it. However, after seeing it in person at Gen Beauty I decided to pick it up. Tarte was offering their products at a discount priced and I thought it was a great deal. I have filmed two tutorials using this palette. You can check out the first one HERE. Stay tuned for the second one in the next couple weeks. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on this palette and to see some swatches!
