Tarte Matte Waterproof Bronzer Review

When looking for a product to contour with, it is recommended to go for a matte bronzer/blush. I generally love Tarte because it doesn't irritate my skin. However, this would be the exception to that statement. I wanted to try to add some definition to my face so, I was immediately searching for a decent matte bronzer on MakeUpAlley. It came down to this and MAC's blush in Blunt. Somehow, my brain was drawn to this (perhaps the nice packaging...) and I was off to Sephora on my next free day. 

I tried to contour with this with my MAC 109 brush. Nothing too off the charts extraordinary, just the simple "E" makeup artists always recommend. Let me just say, it look ALOT of building to even show up on my NC30 skin. I eventually gave up and just let it be so I could be on my way to finishing my eye makeup.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes Review

While browsing through the aisles of Sephora, the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush display is bound to catch a handful of customer's eyes. While some of the colors are very vibrant and bright, they look beautiful and less frightening once blended out. So, please do not allow the pan color to scare you.  I currently own 4 and I love every single one of them!

Hello everyone!





After alot of contemplating, I've finally decided to start a blog!  Being snowed in by Blizzard Nemo gave me the chance to sit down and start.  I know that I personally love exploring beauty blogs by other bloggers so why not join in!

I'm not going to constrict this blog to just make up. I plan to post about a range of topics that I hope you guys find helpful and interesting. I know that alot of ladies out there struggle with their skin, and you're not alone! My dermatologist classifies me as having moderate/severe acne and I'm about to embark on a 5 month journey of Accutane (isotretinoin). I plan to make a log of symptoms that occur along the way to keep you guys informed incase it potentially helps any of you who are considering the drug. Needless to say, I aim to use products that hide acne while not making it worse.
