Review: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Captivating! (+Swatches!)

Perfect Peachy Blush!

During the Sephora V.I.B Sale I picked up the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Captivating and right off the bat I'll say I love it! It retails for $26 so getting it on sale was needed haha. I love the Tarte Blushes because like the name states they last 12 hours..., sometimes even more! The formula is everything you want in a blush: blendable, pigmented and longwearing. 

The blush is a beautiful matte warm peach! I lightly tap my brush into the blush and I get just the right amount to coat my cheeks. A little goes a long way but even if you put too much on you can easily blend it which is another thing I love about the Tarte Blushes! This color is the definition of Spring and Summer. It warms up and brightens your face at the same time... weird, I know haha.

I'm a huge fan of the packaging because it's simple yet sleek! It's super easy to store away and since it has a mirror it's ideal for travel. Look at that swatch....isn't the color gorgeous!?  :-D

Bottom line: This blush is so good! I love how true of a peach shade it is, no hints of pink just peach which is exactly what I was looking for. It's pretty pricey originally but with the discount it's totally worth it! This blush will most likely last a lifetime and that's alright with me. :-)

Dollar Tree Haul!

Makeup Finds!

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a mini haul of the goodies that I picked up at my local Dollar Tree. They had tons of great things to choose from and when it's only $1 you want it all! haha. I had to enable my self control and only ended up with these five items. I was so excited to see the brands that I love like Milani and Maybelline. Not to mention how awesome it was to find Essie for only one dollar.

Make sure to check out your Dollar Tree to see what items you can find! :-)

Review: Mac Viva Glam Miley Cyrus! (Lipstick & Lipglass!)

Great Color + Great Cause!

I'm always so tempted to purchase the Viva Glam lippies because I love the fact that every cent goes toward helping people with HIV/AIDS! Sometimes the colors are pretty out there but this time around Miley Cyrus released a gorgeous shade of pink! The lipstick retails for $16 and the lipglass is $15. I won't say I'm the biggest Miley fan but the color is so stunning! Gotta give the girl some props ;-) haha. 

Here's what the color looks like! It's pretty much a bright fuchsia pink but not neon pink so it's very wearable! I'm sure it's a dupable color but I love the amplified finish! It also looks freaking amazing with the lipglass! I'm so obsessed with the combo.

The lipglass takes it to a whole 'notha level! I love the shine and the sparkle if gives your lips. Plus... your lips look extra juicy which is always a good thing haha ;-) The lipglass has a combination of pink and blue shimmers... you can't even feel'em. It adds some dimension and together it looks so cool!

I highly recommend this lip combo! Even though you can find a similar shade at the drugstore it feels nice to support a good cause. Simple eye makeup and this combo on your lips? Flawless! :-)
