My Tarte Collection

Hi guys!

Happy Halloween! Today I have a Collection post for you and it's a good one! I never realized how many Tarte items I had purchased until I started grabbing things for this post. Tarte is one of my favorite brands because they are Vegan and cruelty free; and are never made with parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, or gluten so you can feel good about using their products on your skin and around your babies.  As well as what they put into their makeup, their products are amazing when it comes to pigmentation, staying power, and color selection; not to mention they also offer the best Holiday sets! A few of the sets that I show below were Limited Edition but I've shared links to the 2013 sets that are closest to what I have, Enjoy!

Zoya Fall 2013 "Cashmeres"

As promised, each week on Monday I will have a pictures and swatches of a new Zoya collection to share. This week I'll be sharing the Cashmere collection, when I received this I very much overlooked it because I was just in complete awe of the Satins collection.  After trying these out I must say they are the perfect addition to any nail polish lover's collection! Each color is rich, bold, and gorgeous; they give that same feeling as warm cocoa does on a cool Fall night.  The colors are so much more beautiful than they appear in the bottle and I can honestly say I was amazed with application and the fullness of the shades. Enjoy!

Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara Review

Hi Ladies!

Let me start off by saying I'm not a mascara lover, I'm not one of those girls who is obsessed with them.  I really enjoy the difference that mascara coloring gives my lashes but otherwise I'm not really into them.  I've tried tons of them from different brands and spent quite a bit but I just don't see enough of a change in my lashes to spend crazy amounts of money on high end mascaras.  In that case I usually stick to the drugstore brands, especially since the life of any mascara should be 3 months.  Recently I tried a new mascara and really fell in love with the color, way it coated my lashes, & removal ease.  The mascara is the Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara, I picked up the darkest shade which was "Blackest Black" and I really must say I have been enjoying it.  I am not a lower lashes coater so I can't say much to that but I really enjoy this mascara and what it does for my lashes as far as volume.  The true test for me is at the end of the night when I remove it and it removes like a dream! This mascara sells for about $9.99 at drugstores and I really think everyone should give it a go! Enjoy!

Sephora VIB/Traveling Haul

This is a post that I never posted from the Sephora VIB sale last year, thought i'd share!

Hi Friends!

Hope that everyone had a great weekend! I spent mine passing out presents & holding babies, so it was a win win! Today I have my haul from my mid-April vacation to my parents, I had a going "cart" on Sephora that immediately got purchased during the VIB 15% off sale which included the Lorac Unzipped palette, Illamasqua cream blush in "Dixie", Illamasqua powder blush in "Hussy", & a Buxom Lip Cream in "Creamsicle". That same week Ulta was having 50% off Revlon & NYX from which I purchased the NYX cream blush in "", NYX Butter Glosses in "Peach Cobbler" & "", the Revlon Bronzer "", & the Revlon Colorstay Top Coat & "Seashell".  I wanted to try out the Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish so I picked up "Blu My Mind" as well as 2 glitters from the Sinful Colors nail line in the shades "" & "". So far I'm really loving my Buxom lip cream the most & I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be with the Lorac palette; I guess after lusting after it for so long I had way too high expectations for it. Have a great week!

Thanks for coming by!

Zoya has become one of my favorite nail polish companies, I just can't say enough about them & I can honestly say I've purchased 75% of my Zoya collection and even did a collection post on that a while back, you can check that out here.  So as you can see I am a fan and with that said, Zoya so graciously sent me their Fall "Satin" collection and I can honestly say that I'm in love with each color! My favorites are "Mason" and "Giovanna", they just seem to shine in the sun and give off this absolutely gorgeous color! The collection includes a beautiful gold top coat called "Maria-Luisa" and I can't wait to see how this looks over all of my favorite Fall shades. Hope you enjoy my pictures and swatches below, these polishes sell for $8 individually and $48 as a set and you can pick them up on Zoya's website here. Enjoy!
