Tarte of Giving Collector's Set & Travel Bag 42

The Tarte of Giving Collector’s Set & Travel Bag ($59) is one of Tarte’s massive Holiday 2013 Gift Sets that includes shadows, blush, skincare, and the kitchen sink (I might have made that last part up).

As a brand that is legendary for going big for the Holidays Tarte has gifted us with so many wonderful, beautiful sets this Holiday season! The Tarte of Giving Collector’s Set & Travel Bag is just one reason to love gifting instead of getting as imagine giving this to a friend this year and watching her or his eyes light up! It’s such a stunning selection of Tarte makeup and all housed in a beautiful hanging travel bag.

Of course, the greedy people (I’m not naming names, COUGH the Muse) will want to keep it for themselves.

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation Review & Swatches

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation1

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation ($38 plus $10 for the compact) is kinda my new best friend. Scratch that, it’s kinda life changing. I don’t reach for cream foundations often…granted I like BB Creams and I like cream foundations! I just don’t like compact cream foundations because they are often quite heavy and provide a little too much coverage and dare I say even though they promise a matte finish they feel quite oily and greasy. Plus they transfer all crazy-like.

Cream foundations are ever evolving and some brand or another is always trying to improve on the compact cream formula but very few succeed. When I originally heard about the NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation I was skeptical.

After trying it my mind is a little blown.

Take a look!

Lathers & Lights Licorice Twist Conditioner Review

Lathers & Lights Licorice Twist Conditioner

I recently picked up Lathers & Lights Licorice Twist Conditioner because I’m an e-tailer junkie. I live for the next great E-tailer or Etsy find! I really like a lot of Lathers & Lights products so when they launched their vast array of Halloween scents, Licorice Twist being one, I ended up going in for a haul!

Take a look!

MAC Stroke of Midnight Mineralize Brush Kit 8

You NEED the MAC Stroke of Midnight Mineralize Brush Kit! This set contains four mini MAC fiber brushes for face and eyes plus a makeup bag for traveling with them.

Check it and find out why it’s my favorite (just a note, I just realized that I didn’t take photos of each brush. I’m working on 90 minutes of sleep here (too much Halloween partying does a blog bad) and this morning at stupid o’clock aka 5 AM when I was writing this post I noticed I forgot to take the pictures of the brushes! I’ll be sure to update shortly, sorry).
