Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush Review

Today I'll be doing a review on the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Paaarty.

Initial Thoughts: The packaging is very nice and minimal. Upon opening the blush there is no real smell. It is a beautiful nude, with very soft pinky coral vibes. It's a subtle color, perfect for an everyday look. 

Application: It's way more pigmented on the face than I expected, but it's buildable and it blends in very well. I suggest going in with a light hand just to make sure you don't use too much. But honestly, it looks beautiful. This is the first Tarte blush I've tried but after this one, I think I'll try more! 

Final Thoughts: Definitely give this blush a go. It's a great blush and the colors compliment so many looks! It blends in beautifully and it looks great on the skin!

Valentine's Day 2018

Love is in the air, chocolate candies everywhere, and my first post is up!

I started by putting on some Too Faced Born This Way concealer on my eyelid and set it with MAC setting powder. I then took the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette and dipped into Tempera as my transition shade. Next, I began to blend the shade Love Letter from the outer part of my crease into the inner part of my crease. After that, I dipped into the shade Venetian Red and blended it into the outer v and into the outer crease. Next, I took the shade Vermeer and placed it on my lid and blended it into the outer V. Lastly, I took the shade Love Letter and Venetian Red to my lower lashline and finished the look by highlighting my brow bone and inner corner with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit by mixing the colors Summer and Moonstone. 

I thought pinks and reds would be the way to go on a day filled with so much love. I have two favorite liquid lipsticks I like to pair with it depending on my mood. If I'm feeling a little bold I'll go with MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Feels So Grand, but when I'm not feeling as bold I opt for the Tarte Tartiest Creamy Matte Lip Paint in the color Birthday Suit. I hope everyone has an amazing Valentine's Day and let me know what makeup looks do you like to do on Valentine's day! Do you like to go for a dramatic look, a neutral look, or even a monochromatic look?
