Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette

The new Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette ($75) is a brand new Spring 2016 complete face and eye palette that promises to give you a gorgeous look in as little as five minutes. Yeah, so, I’m all about saving time!

You get:

  • Eye Brighten: Brighten the eyes with a youthful, color-correcting, brightening pale rose matte hue to prime and smooth the surface of the eyelid for all day application.
  • Eye Enhance: Enhance the eyes by adding dreamy, satin dimension with a glowing champagne shade that illuminates the eyelid.
  • Eye Smoke: Smoke the color to create highly-pigmented, softly-defined eyes with a universally flattering toupe shade that can be built up to a natural-looking smoky eye.
  • Face Bronze: Bronze and define the cheekbone hollows with an all-skin tone, bronze color in the best-selling Filmstar Bronze & Glow.
  • Cheek Swish: Swish the tea-rose colored blush on the apples of the cheeks and blend up and out for a healthy, happy glow.
  • Cheek Pop: Pop the uplifting, pretty pink shade onto the apples of the cheeks for a lit-from-within glow.
  • Face Highlight: Highlight the outer C-section of the cheekbones, down the nose, on the bow of the lips, and the inner corners of the eyes with the candlelit shade.

The Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Palette is available at CharlotteTilbury.com this May and will be available at Bergdorf Goodman, BergdorfGoodman.com, Nordstrom, and Nordstrom.com as well!

Tarte Tarteist Glossy Lip Paint 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.

Tarteist Glossy Lip Paint

Tarte Tarteist Glossy Lip Paint ($20) is a new full, color lip paint or lipgloss that launched with the Tarte Summer 2016 Collection recently. Considering we already have a matte selection of Tarte Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paints already it only seemed logical to launch a glossy version of the formula for those of us that aren’t really a fond fan of mattes.

Tarte Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint do offer the better shade variety though with 15 shades where as the new Tarteist Glossy Lip Pain are only available in nine. But I’m sure if the product proves popular enough we’ll see more shades in the future. Both products contain the same 0.20 oz for the same price of $20 per shade.

Let’s take a look!

Buxom Wildly Whipped Soft Matte Lip Color Review & Swatches

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

Buxom Wildly Whipped Soft Matte Lip Color

Buxom Wildly Whipped Soft Matte Lip Color ($21) is a new whipped liquid lipstick formula with a lightweight, matte finish that’s available in 12 shade selections. As a hater of long-lasting liquid lipsticks, I was curious about the Wildly Whipped Soft Matte Lip Color formula and hopeful it would be as moisturizing as it promised! In most cases, though, these liquid lipsticks are like vampires but instead of sucking blood they suck the moisture right from your lips.

So away I went and purchased one of these to try out!

Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer Hydrate Review & Swatches

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

Amazing Concealer Hydrate

I got the wrong shade of Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer Hydrate ($32) and I am kicking myself because simply put this stuff is amazing! Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer Hydrate is one of two new concealers that the brand introduce for Spring 2016. This formula promises creamy, crease-free, full coverage with a nourishing formula that hydrates and conceals eyes.

As a fan of the original Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer I decided I’d trying out the new hydrate formula and it was the smartest thing I ever did. I love this stuff.

Sadly, I purchased it online in the shade Light Golden so I need to head back in and grab Light instead as this shade is a bit too dark. But that’s ok as this week is Ulta Platinum Member 20% Off so I don’t feel so bad about dishing out another $32 for another shade. And hey, as I said, the formula is amazing so I don’t mind the splurge in the least.
