Tartelette's Review


I just couldn't resist these gorgeous Tarte products when i came across them. Living in the UK its hard to purchase Tarte cosmetics, but then i saw them on QVC (the only place i can purchase Tarte) and didn't need to think twice about buying them, even though my bank card was telling me otherwise! The packaging from the beginning caught my eye and the photos really don't do them justice as they are so pretty and made to a high quality! I bought these as a set which also came with a mini tartiest mascara for £49 but is currently on QVC website for £61 (price given at time of publish).

Tartelette

As you can tell this gorgeous palette has all matte shades which for me is perfect. These shades are all stunning and can be all used with each other to make many different gorgeous eye looks. I also love how the name of the shades are boldly under each shade. I also love the stunning metallic gold finish of this palette which gives it more of a finished high end look. Lets not forget the decent size mirror which comes with this allowing it to actually be used, unlike some pallets which come with the finest mirror that i always end up struggling to use as you can't see your whole face!

I am currently wearing ; supermom, wanderer and power player



Tartelette in Bloom
This palette is stunning! With nine matte shades and three shimmer shades it is perfect for making many different looks. Also if you are going on holiday it is fab to take with you as its got everything for a day eye look to a nice dark smoky with a hint of shimmer look. These shadows are very pigmented so you don't need a lot of product on your brush, which will make the palette last you even longer!
My favourite look i create out of this pallete is; charmer, smarty pants and jet setter. I just love a matte eye!

These palettes are a must for anyone who loves makeup, i highly recommend them.

If you have used them i would love to know your thoughts and which shades you use to create a gorgeous eye!

Ive found my Mr Right!

Well if this isn't the sweetest makeup brush i have ever seen!

As soon as i found out this Too Faced Mr Right brush was available in the UK and LIMITED EDITION it was top of my purchase list! (anything limited edition is my weakness). The baby blue colour and not to mention the bow tie, (very posh i may add) just makes this brush a must have! The bristles are so soft known by Too Faced as teddy bear hair and i can see why! On one side of the brush it says MR Right and on the other it says Too Faced.

With the shape and size of the bristles this brush is very versatile it can be used to apply all over faced powder, bronzer, blushers and highlighters. Also if you don't want to get the bow tie caked in makeup, you can easily remove it its just on a piece of elastic.
This can be purchased online at Debenhams for £30

Kylie Lip-kit

After the hype of Kylie cosmetics, i just had to fight wait patiently for the next batch to be available.
So after sitting for a good 45 mins refreshing the page one minute till launch and having the website crash on me countless times, i was lucky enough to exchange some pennies for Dolce K lip-kit.




The formula is the best i have tried, it isn't drying or makes the lips look cracked like i have previous experiences with. It is a gorgeous matte which as you all know from my previous blogs is my favourite lip finish.



This lipliner is easy and smooth to use and you don't need to have loads of pressure to create a bold colour.



Dolce K what can i say its heaven in a bottle! With some products its hard to purchase the right colour online but this is the perfect colour for me i love it. A light brown/ nude colour which is perfect for day or night! I can't wait to purchase more when they become available!

MAC | Must Haves

MAC is one of my ultimate favourite beauty brands! It was the first brand i had a good splurge on and 6 years later I'm still hooked! I have used a wide range of products from MAC and thought it was a good idea to share my ultimate must haves that you need in your makeup kit!


TWIG, VELVET TEDDY, BRAVE


TOP : PHLOOF...LEFT; WEGDE... RIGHT;  EMBARK

MAC Studio Fix Foundation
Ive tried many foundations but none has compared to this heaven in a bottle! i have been using it for 2 years now, i used to use studio sculpt but wanted a fuller coverage, thats still natural and long lasting. If you are stuck for foundations i would defiantly go to your MAC store get matched up and purchase or if your unsure ask for a sample, but i assure you will be back buying it in no time.


MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural
Well this is just my favourite face powder my overall makeup looks flawless and well blended when i use this to set my foundation in place. I use shade Medium- Dark and its a dream. It goes on really well and doesn't leave a powdery finish.


MAC Mineralise  Soft and Gentle
A must have for anyones makeup kit is this highlighter its unbelievable! Soft and gentle is so pigmented and has a gorgeous finish! It has a golden shimmer and is an amazing highlighter. I have had mine for about 5 years as i don't use it everyday and you don't need to put a lot of product on your brush for a gorgeous finish.

MAC Fluidline
Easy way to make a straight long lasting line! Partner this with the MAC 209 brush and you will be able to make the perfect line.

MAC Eyeshadows
I am obsessed  love MAC eyeshadows, the different finishes and the pigmentation is just dreamy. The three in the image able are Phloof, Wedge and Embark. I use wedge all over, Phloof on my inner corner and lash line and embark in the crease of my socket. I don't want to bore you all about going in great detail with these as i am doing a blog on eyeshadows very soon!


MAC Lipliners
A great investment piece is a MAC lipliner, they have so many incredible shades to choose from. They are long lasting and easy to apply, they are smooth and don't crumble like some when applying. My favourite shades are Stripdown and Spice. 


MAC Lipstick
MAC Lipsticks are a dream! They have loads of amazing shades and i love how the lipsticks can be put into categories of finishes, I love a matte finish! Not only do they look nice but they smell incredible too! A few favourites are; Velvet Teddy, Twig and Brave 


What are your MAC must haves?
