Tarte Bright By Night Skincare Discovery Set 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 Bright By Night Skincare Discovery Set2

Got $10? Want to tell you about how can you spend it on the Tarte Bright By Night Skincare Discovery Set?

I burn the candle at both ends every day. I work a full time regular job daily, five days a week and I moonlight on Musings, for far too many hours, five days a week. Life is about to get even busier or actually already is because I’m about to enter into renewal season here and things get mighty crazy when everyone and their mama is popping into my office demanding cheap, cheap, cheap premiums. I call my clients my baby chicks because they sound like them, “cheap cheap cheap!” Sigh, anyway, based on their losses for the year they are going to be very happy with me or VERY upset because even though they are responsible for what goes on behind the wheel of their own car I am generally the person that gets blamed when their insurance premiums sky rocket. Taxi drivers, limo chauffeurs, and corporate managers are NOT the friendliest people in the world when you’re asking them for more money.

Needless to say I never get a lot of sleep during the year but when renewal season hits, well, I really get zero sleep until it is over because it is a lot of running around, a lot of networking and social interaction, and suddenly I’m everyone’s broker, therapist, and general go to for everything and anything that needs getting done before March 1st.

Concealer is my bestest friend right now. But…I also have to contend with some nasty weather lately. Lots of snow, really low, cold, freezing temperatures, and dry skin!

Issues with dry under eyes? You NEED the Tarte Bright By Night Skincare Discovery Set. It’s the perfect little companion set to pack up with your concealer to insure that you get the best, smoothest finish under your eyes.

Smith's Rose Mandarin Lip Balm

Rosebud Salve gets a new flavor for Spring 2014 fans! Smith’s Rose & Mandarin Lip Balm ($7) is the newest flavor to launch into my beauty life and I couldn’t be excited as a complete hoarder, lover, and regular user of the original Smith’s Rosebud Salve this is of course a cause for great excitement.

As far as I’m concerned the solution to life, the universe, and everything is NOT 42, it’s Rosebud Salve 🙂

Sephora CC Eye Cream Concealer for Spring 2014

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Sephora CC Eye Cream Concealer

If you recall my experience with Ole Henriksen Perfect Truth CC Creme was not pretty so I’m naturally a little wary of Sephora CC Eye Cream Concealer that’s launching for Spring 2014.

Hmmmm!

Sometimes one trick ponies are best! It’s when you try to walk and chew gum at the same time that trouble happens! Is Sephora’s New CC Eye + Concealer taking on too much!?
