Tarte Brighter Days Highlighting Moisturizer Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Tarte Brighter Days Highlighting Moisturizer ($32) is a new oil-free, hybrid moisturizer that launched with the Athleisure for Spring 2017 which acts to hydrate skin but also, contains light-reflecting pigments to highlight skin with a delicate glow.

I don’t like glow-y anything on my face. I’m obsessed with shimmer blushes and I’m always been a fan of sparkle but over the years I’ve realize that sparkle of any kind on my face makes it look fuller than it already is. But I’m always game to try some new highlighter in the hopes I’ll actually know how to use it and it’ll give me some gorgeous luminosity, the likes of which I’ve seen on Instagram but can never really duplicate without applying thousands of layers of highlighting powder on my face to achieve.

Tarte Brighter Days Highlighting Moisturizer seemed like the solution. I didn’t need a ton of know how because the highlighter was built right into my moisturizer. So, all I had to do was apply my moisturizer like I do everyday and tada! Instant glow!

Does it work?

Dove Shower Foam Deep Moisture Body Wash Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Dove Shower Foam Deep Moisture Body Wash ($5.99) is the latest brilliant drugstore innovation you need to get on board with! This brilliant little body wash isn’t your traditional gel, nope, this one is a foaming body wash. How cool is that? If you’ve read my blog for a while you know I’m utterly obsessed with foaming facial cleansers! My addiction started with Kose Softymo Airy Whip Cleansing Facial Wash which is a Japanese foaming cleanser but over the years many, many different Asian foaming cleansers have made their home in my collection like Biore Marshmallow Whip Face Wash, Etude House Cloud Bubble Foam, Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Foam, etc….

But in all my cleansing travels I can’t rightfully say that I have owned a foaming body wash! Dude, I’ll say it, foaming body wash is just fun. Call me a kid but squirting out a big old pile of fluffy foam just makes me smile. There’s something terribly fun about foam. If I could I’d run around my bathroom with a bottle of hair mousse and squirt it everywhere.

Sugarpill Cosmetics Feline Fancy Makeup Collection Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Sugarpill Cosmetics Feline Fancy Makeup Collection ($48) is a new Valentine’s Day Collection that comes with a vegan eyeshadow palette as well as a full-size Sugarpill Cosmetis Liquid Lipstick in Strange Love. This is probably one of the most darling palettes I’ve seen on offer to celebrate V-Day this year. The packaging features a sweet yet feisty little kitten indulging in some yummy treats. The packaging might just bring you back to your grade school days as this packaging totally reminds me of those retro Valentine’s Day cards we used to give each other in the second grade. It’s truly a beautifully presented collection and if you’re a packaging junkie like me you’ll adore this.

Let’s take a look at my review and swatches below.
