Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette
Whenever I hear the question about what someone's "ride or die palette" is, the one palette they couldn't live without, I know this one would be mine. It's the one I go to when I'm feeling uninspired, and it's the one I go to when I want to look my... +
Whenever I hear the question about what someone's "ride or die palette" is, the one palette they couldn't live without, I know this one would be mine. It's the one I go to when I'm feeling uninspired, and it's the one I go to when I want to look my best. It's the one I reach for most often. This palette has the best selection of neutrals, both shimmers and mattes, and the pigmentation and blendability is stellar. You don't have to reach for a second palette because this has it all - including transitions, highlights and dark outer corner shades for a smoky look. A lot of people talk about Firecracker and it's for good reason - it is the PRETTIEST eyeshadow ever and I would die if they released it as a single! All in all, this is just the most perfect neutral palette. I love that I can create a whole shimmery OR a whole matte look, a natural look or a smoky look. Bonus: it smells like HEAVEN. Every time I open this palette my mouth waters! Smells like chocolate. -

Super impressed with these lip pencils. I usually avoid lip pencils when I can because I find them drying and they pull too much during application. These? Glide on like butter and feel like you're wearing nothing but a lipbalm. They're surprisingly moisturizing and don't dry out my lips at all. They're creamy and pigmented with opaque coverage. When filling in my lips completely with #044, it applied very evenly unlike a lot of dark shades (no matter kind of lip product). The shade is a stunning burgundy - like a rich, chocolate raspberry. #020 is a pretty beige nude and applied just as well. Both lip pencils are great matches for the Honeycomb and Whiskey Amuse Bouche lipsticks. Not kiss-proof but there was minimal transfer and they stayed put for the most part. -

This cleanser was surprising. When you first put it into your hand, it is quick thick and gel-like. When rubbing it in gently, it starts to feel more like a light oil and becomes very thin. I have never used anything quite like it. Like all the other products in this line, this made me skin smooth as soon as I washed it off. It didn't leave an unpleasant residue. The scent is floral but not overpowering and did not irritate my sensitive skin or allergies at all. In fact, it is rather calming. The only thing I would say is that I do not think I would use this as a mask like the product description suggests you can. I prefer my masks thick and drying (such as a clay mask). But as a cleanser, this is a great and definitely something I would recommend if you are looking for one that will give you smooth skin. -

I was so impressed with this cream. When applied to the face, it absorbs quickly and is not at all tacky. Almost immediately I felt my skin was smoother, and I noticed a slight illumination - not like a strobe cream but like a glow from within. I don't use it as a morning moisturizer because I need one with SPF, but I use this cream every night before bed and my skin looks and feels amazing in the morning. It is so SMOOTH. I feel like it has made my skin better prepared for make-up due to its smoothing properties. There is definitely a floral scent, but it's not overpowering or irritating. I have sensitive skin and allergies, and this cream did not break me out or irritate me in any way. All in all, I would definitely recommend this to others and I would definitely purchase it in the future. -

I am not one to purchase too many skin care products with this price tag, unless I can sample it first, but I am definitely glad I tried this serum in conjunction with the LiftActiv Supreme. I really love the smell of this serum! Because I have sensitive skin, I am always apprehensive when skin products have scents, but this smells so fresh, almost spa-like. It’s not perfume-y or overpowering at all. After applying, this serum feels very lightweight and not sticky or greasy. I felt my face looked hydrated, refreshed and more “awake” shortly after application. After several days of use, my skin definitely looked less dull and brighter than usual. I have some uneven skin tone/pigmentation that I find very noticeable when I look in the mirror, but I felt this serum helped even that out and make it less noticeable, especially since my face just looks generally more glowing after applying it. I am very curious to see the results of this product over a longer period of time, which I imagine will also be very positive. Although I am not over 40, I feel like my skin looks horrible after a day out, and I think it is more about the environment and pollution and not just normal aging. I think a product like this is great to use even in your late 20s or 30s because of its regeneration properties. The only thing I do not like about this product is the packaging. I find the dropper very messy because when you pull it out, the excess around the dropper drips and I just end up with too much if I also press the dropper (which I assume is the exact amount you need). In this way I am probably putting too much on my face at a time. Perhaps a pump would be easier and more effective in dispensing just the right amount of product. -

I don’t think I can say enough good things about this product and how wonderful it makes my skin look and feel! Once applied, the feeling is very light and there is no stickiness or greasiness at all. It absorbs into the skin quickly but leaves it feeling very hydrated at the same time (perhaps the Thermal Spa Water?). I have also used this at night before bed and when I wake up, my skin is still noticeably hydrated and plump (both visually and to the touch), which I did not experience before using this cream. I also notice this cream has an immediate brightening effect, a natural radiance that certainly provides a more youthful and healthy look. Despite having sensitive skin, I did not have any sort of reaction or breakout. I will continue using this daily to see if it helps the fine lines under my eyes, which is says it can do with consistent use. I will likely end up keeping this as my morning/daily moisturizer underneath my makeup primer. I would definitely repurchase this product; it’s worth the price tag! -
