LOTD: Christmas Day Look using the Tartelette In Bloom Palette

A little late, but here's my Christmas Day look!









To get this look I first primed my lids, then applied Smarty Pants to my crease and brow bone area, pat Rocker on my lids, with Funny Girl as a highlight, and Leader and Activist in my outer third and crease, I've been going a little bolder with my eyeliner wing, but have still been using the Ulta Automatic eyeliner in Black/Brown. I also used my regular trio of mascaras. For my lips I used Kat Von D in Outlaw. I love the formula of Kat Von D's liquid lipsticks, so I've been buying more shades. What looks did you come up with for Christmas?

LOTD: Tartelette In Bloom Palette

I was immediately drawn to this palette because of Firecracker, so naturally, that was the first shade I couldn't wait to use! I used a primer and then in a windshield wiper motion I applied Sweetheart in my crease up to my brow bone. After that, I pat Firecracker on my lids and Rebel over Firecracker in the outer one-third of my eyes, I used Funny Girl as a highlight, and Leader to deepen Rebel. I love the way the shadows blend! I bought the Tarte neutralEYES palette back in 2013 and ended up returning it because I hated everything about the shadows. I was extremely hesitant to purchase this one because of that, but had heard nothing but good reviews and sure enough, I am in love! They must have changed something because this is a night and day difference. One of my complaints about the neutralEYES palette was that the shadows weren't pigmented enough, but the ones in this palette are and are true to how they appear in the palette on skin. I especially love this palette because there are so many combinations that I can't wait to try, so check back for more looks!












Christmas 2015 Beauty Haul

From Caitlyn, the girl knows the key to my heart!



What fun things did you get or plan to get with your gift cards?

Ulta Haul

The Sephora VIB Sale got me good, but there were some bareMinerals things I wasn't able to purchase through them, so I leaned on Ulta to get them, and I avoid paying for shipping like the plague, so I always throw stuff in until I reach the bare minimum for free shipping. I usually go way over it though ha! Here's what I got:

Sephora Haul

That dang VIB Rouge sale was far too tempting, so I got my staple items and then they sent me $20 off a $50 purchase, so I picked up a few more things! I'm excited to try all of these! I seriously have so many new lip products to try it's not even funny!
