Tartelette Tease Palette Swatches & Review


Tartelette Swatch

Hello readers,
Today I have a new-ish palette from tarte cosmetics to share with you.  I recently picked this up from Sephora in a value kit along with a liquid lipstick and tarteist mascara, but you can also purchase it separately.  This palette features six shades, four matte and two shimmer.  I though this would be a great little palette to toss in my makeup bag when I'm traveling or on the go.

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche First Impressions & Swatches


Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Review

Hello readers,
Recently Bite Beauty released a new line of lipsticks, the Amuse Bouche collection.  This was a replacement for their Luminous Creme line, which set the bar very high.  I purchased two shades and snagged a mini as a 100 point perk from Sephora.

Aliquid Lacquer Vestalia Swatches & Review



Hello readers,
Today I have an interesting neutral polish to share with you.  I was on the fence when I bought this shade.  I though it may lean a little to red and clash with my skin tone but I'm so glad I took the risk because I love how this polish looks on me.

Hello readers,
The re-release of Essie Starry Starry Night as part of the Retro Revival collection has drawn a lot of attention and questions of how the new formulation would compare to the original.  I had convinced myself that I could skip the new one and exercised my will power when I saw it at the store, but luck intervened and I won a giveaway for the shade from Procrastinails.

Zoya Whispers Collection Swatches & Review


Zoya Whispers Collection

Hello readers,
Today I have the Zoya Whispers collection to share with you.  Zoya describes this collection as a muted and tranquil palette of transitional nail neutrals.  My initial thought upon seeing the shades was that this feels more like an early spring collection rather than one for the beginning of winter.  I'm not quite sure what I'm transitioning to at this point in the year.  However, there are some pretty shades in the bunch so let's take a look at them individually.
