Focus on one feature at a time. When wearing a loud shade of lipstick keep the eye makeup more subtle or if you want to go crazy with your eye makeup try a nude or subtle toned lipstick shade.

Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette
Includes twelve eyeshadows in a warmer, neutral-hued theme. Nine out of twelve shades are matte, which is something that I love about this palette.
Cruelty free. Formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, or gluten. Dermatologist tested.
$45.00 for 0.63 oz.1.50 g / 0.053 Oz x 12 shadows
I have wanted this since it was released! I received this beautiful tarte tartelette in bloom palette for Christmas from my son. He knows that eyeshadows are what I really want for Christmas.
The colors of the shadows included are exactly what I want for everyday use! These shadows are pigmented, smooth, so easy to work with and blendable. Getting a beautiful eye look takes half the amount of time it does with other shadows.
I love the way that you can go across and break this palette down into quads, creating a beautiful eye look using those four shadows together.
As you will notice in the swatches below, the shadows apply much darker than they appear in the pans. These swatches are applied with a dry compact flat brush and I applied a shadow primer to my arm.
charmer (off white) matte
jetsetter (warm taupe) matte
rocker (shimmering taupe) shimmer
smokeshow (black brown) matte
flower child (peachy nude) matte
smarty pants (tan) matte
firecracker (bronze copper) shimmer
activist (dark brown) matte
funny girl (champagne) shimmer
sweetheart (peach) matte
rebel (chestnut brown) matte
leader (aubergine) matte
Look at the difference in the color in the pan and the swatch on the shades jetsetter, sweetheart, and leader!
Packaging is super slim and so pretty, with a nice big mirror inside the cover. The shadows have a light sweet white chocolate scent to them… I love that!
While wearing and even more so when swatching these shadows I realized that a few of the shades reminded me of shades from my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. The similar shadows are: flower child/ foxy, firecracker/chopper, and rocker/YDK. (I didn’t add swatches of flower child and foxy because as you can tell from the above photo neither of them show up on my pasty white pale skin.)
Here are my cons about this palette…
1.) There’s a lot of fallout for several of the shades. If you look closely in the above swatches you will notice the shadows that have the most fall out. When applying the shadows I really need to tap my brush off and then tap it off again before applying.
2.) There is really no need for both the deep brown shades: smokeshow and activist. They are so similar to each other that having both of them in the same palette is kind of a waste. I would have preferred another lid, transition, or crease shade instead of two dark similar shades.
*If you have cooler undertones then the original Tartelette Palette is probably a better choice for you. It is also a completely matte palette. I don’t own it yet, but I think that it is absolutely beautiful and will probably end up purchasing it eventually.
These are the cooler shades in the Tartelette Amazonian clay matte palette. I just want to point out that the lower left shadow is called “Super Mom” and I absolutely love that!
“Introducing our tartelette 2 in bloom palette – featuring 12 brand new, never-before-seen shades. With 9 mattes and 3 lusters, these lid liner and crease pairings allow you to create stunning, smoldering looks without the guesswork.
Amazonian clay: nature’s most perfect ingredient for better, longer, truer wear
mineral pigments: soothe and soften skin
Product performance: Calling all firecrackers, flower children, activists and sweethearts! Discover 12 stunning new tartelette shadows to set your beauty routine into full bloom. Powered by tarte’s signature Amazonian clay formula, you’ll get the same pigmented payoff, blendability and weartime as the original tartelette – all in a chic, portable palette with a beautiful floral twist.”
Also included in the packaging is a card with two tutorials for different eye looks that can be made with different shadow combinations.
Overall this is a beautiful palette. The shades are wonderful for everyday use. The shadows are smooth and easy to blend.
I definitely highly recommend this Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette.

Good brushes will last for years and provide better makeup application and blending. The fluffy brushes are for blending while generally the flat brushes are for applying products like foundation, cream products, and packing on eyeshadow.
While some good quality brushes are more expensive, some of my favorite brushes are inexpensive $1 brushes from E.L.F. like this defining eye brush.
I feel as if E.L.F. brushes don’t get enough praise and attention. They have some great quality brushes available. I prefer the $3-$6 USD black handled brushes to the less expensive (yet still effective) white handled brushes, yet all the price points have great options avaliable.
This e.l.f. Professional Complete Set of 12 Brushes is $12. While the overall quality of the brushes is good, in this “professional” line set some are definitely better than others. I am personally not a big fan of the Bronzer Brush, it is a bit too scratchy in my opinion. I have owned a few different of the Total Face brushes and found them to be a bit hit or miss.
They have also recently come out with a newer more expensive silver handled line. This 7 piece silver handle set is only $10, and has everything you might need to complete a great face look.

A whole year has flown by and it is already 2017! I cannot believe how quickly 2016 seemed to go by. Here we are already at January and another review of the ipsy glam bag.
(If you don’t know what ipsy is you can check out my previous post all about it by clicking HERE)
January’s theme is “Metropolis”
“A Day in the Life of a City Babe Coffee? Check. Lip gloss? Check. Taxi fare? Check. Here, everything you need to own the concrete jungle.”
This month’s bag is super cute! The material it is a double layer with pale blue metallic faux leather with small circular cut out pattern on top with a silver solid faux leather below. According to the ipsy website “This silver stunner was inspired by skyscrapers! Wear it uptown, downtown, or wherever you’ll be slaying this month.”
Here is what I got in my bag for January:
clariSEA Instant Glow Lavender Powder Exfoliant 1 oz
Because of this being a loose powder, this exfoliator can be made as intense or as gentle as I want it to be. It is made by adding equal amounts of the salt to my cleanser. If I want to sprinkle in a little more powder I can get a little more exfoliation. It says that it can also be mix with water as well for a stronger scrub.
It is made with two types of salt, Pacific and Himalayan pink sea salt, and it smells like lavender. Pretty interesting, I can’t wait to try it out!
Naked Cosmetics Mica Pigment in Desert Sunset #02 .05 oz/1.5gm
This is such a beautiful vivid loose pigment! It is a gorgeous shimmery champagne shade that has tiny sparkles in it. I am a huge sucker for sparkles!
This product is made with no talc, oils, waxes or fillers. Swatches just don’t even do this eyeshadow justice! It is just so beautiful. I am already in love!!!
Pacifica BLUSHIOUS in Wildrose 3 grams
First off let me add that I am completely NOT complaining about getting this blush because it is absolutely beautiful! Secondly, ipsy thinks that my makeup collection needs lots of liquid eyeliners and coral blushes, because I get one or the other in my glam bag each month. (This is my 6th coral blush from ipsy.)
I love blush and use it every day…I may still need to retake the quiz and let them know that I am all set with blushers for now.
This shade is beautiful and it goes on a little lighter than it looks in the pan. Another great thing about this blush is that Pacifica’s products are all are 100% vegan, gluten- and cruelty-free.
Rimmel London Lip Conditioning Balm by Kate Moss 0.13 oz
You may remember that I have a thing for good lipglosses, chapsticks and lip balms. Of course, I put it on immediately after opening my glam bag. This is a delightful lip balm! Soft, creamy, and moisturizing. My lips feel smoother and healthier while wearing this balm. It has just the faintest sweet scent, not too much at all.
Smashbox Cosmetics Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 in Light or Light Medium .25 fl oz / 7.1 ml
So far everything that I have tried from Smashbox has been great! I haven’t used this bb cream yet, but I love bb creams, so I have high hopes for this one.
“Sun protection, check. Hydration, check. A glowy finish, check. Add a hint of coverage and this BB checks all of our boxes.”
I love everything that I got in this month’s bag! I am so happy with everything!

Although not unexpected for this time of year, it seems as if especially recently there has been an increase in viral respiratory and gastrointestinal illness recently.
The spread of viral illnesses, like the flu and norovirus, can be prevented by practicing good personal protection measures.
Prevention is KEY!!!
Help yourself and your family stay healthy by following these few tips:
Wash your hands oftenwith soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and warm water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand gel, like Purell.
Sneeze and cough into your elbow.
If you are sick, stay home from work, school, or childcare.
If you are a food handler, healthcare worker, or child care worker and are vomiting or have diarrhea, you must stay home until symptoms have stopped for at least 48 hours.
Do not share utensils, water bottles, or other personal items. Many germs that cause viral illness are spread through saliva.
Wipe down common items like phones, keyboards, doorknobs, and railings with a disinfectant that contains bleach. (You can also use a solution of 5-25 tablespoons of bleach to one gallon of water.)
Get a good night’s rest, drink plenty of water, and eat a healthy diet of fruits and veggies. Helping your body to be strong enough to fight off illness is so important.
Many viral illnesses need to run their course and require staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest.
Antibiotics fight bacterial infections and will not cure illnesses caused by a virus.
If you are sick enough to seek medical care but your problem is not life-threatening don’t waste your time sitting in an emergency department. Call your doctor or go to an urgent care center instead. You will get seen much quicker at their offices and you will feel more comfortable with a quick visit then spending hours in the ER waiting room.
If you are already feeling sick, I hope that you recover quickly!

I am still going strong with not buying new beauty items! Of course getting a bunch of new stuff for Christmas has helped a lot. In the meantime, I am still trying to use up samples that I have already received and often neglect.
Since I started doing this several months ago, I have really enjoyed using and trying out these samples. It has really helped me to not make any unnecessary beauty purchases! I don’t think that I have ever gone this long before without buying new makeup!
I think a lot of times the excitement of getting the new things is greater than that of actually trying out and using the samples. So far, so good. I have so many samples from ipsy bags, or Target boxes and others from Walmart beauty boxes. This has really been a great way to use them up.
Here is another group of samples that I have decided to try…
Biore Charcoal Pore Strips
Cetaphil Gentile Skin Cleanser
Clear Scalp and Hair Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner
Covergirl Intensify Me lash blast liquid eyeliner
Eco Tools makeup brush cleansing clothes
Hello Mojito Mint Floride Toothpaste
NSPA Coconut Rich Body Butter
S.W. Basics Exfoliant
Check back in a few weeks and I will let you know what I think of each thing and if I would purchase the full size of these items based on my thoughts from using these samples.
