A Look at the New CK One Makeup Collection in Pictures

Seems just a few short years ago we were lemming Calvin Klein Makeup Collection at Sephora. Sadly, it lasted about two seasons (or felt like that) and disappeared quickly enough.

Lucky us, Calvin Klein ventures back into the beauty waters with a new launch of CK One Cosmetics.

CK One felt a little budget friendly to me at first glance but a quick look at the pricing and you’ll notice it goes from mid to higher end range.

It is thought out well so don’t think of it as something slapped together for marketing purposes. The range is pretty vast which means they did put a good deal of thought into but of course the quality remains to be seen.

Let’s take a peek!

Dude, I got my Dark Shadows DVD Collection yesterday and it’s huge. Holy cow! I figure I’ll just give up the next five years of my life to watch the 1,000 plus episodes.

Tarte Gifts from the Lipstick Tree Achiote Color Collection Review & Swatches

Tarte Gifts from the Lipstick Tree Achiote Color Collection Review is turning into my new favorite collection for Summer 2012. I’m a matchy match kinda girl so having a set with blush, lipgloss, and a lip tint all in the same shade, well, that has my name written all over it.

The collection features three full size products in a brand new shade (brand new for many but not so new for QVC junkies as the shade was available before in a gift set) entitled Achiote.

Achiote literally is a reference to the “lipstick tree” as it is a common treat that grows in the tropical regions of South America and is dubbed the lipstick tree due to the natural pigment produced from the seeds it bears. The women of Brazil use this pigment to enhance their natural beauty.

As with most Tarte products the formula is paraben and mineral free.

Gotta love that.

Considering a single blush is $25 and a gloss $21 this is a nice little set that includes three products for $42 that fair outweight the cost per an item.

Let’s take a look!
