Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Palette Review And Makeup Looks!


This palette is EVERYTHING, I mean I seriously haven't been this in love with a palette in a long time. First impression when it arrived in the mail was how freaking gorgeous the actual palette is, like the type you want to keep in your vanity even if the actual colors aren't cute. Then I played with the colors and WOW this is what you call a win win. The colors are gorgeous, apply like butter and are highly pigmented...... Oh and they smell yummy! 

I took the risk and tried it on my client that same day I received it, and the colors complimented her so beautiful and photographed beautiful too. I used it for my birthday date and could not decide for which colors to use since they are all so gorge. 

The palette is only sold at Tarte for $45 and its worth every dollar!

Left To Right: charmer, jetsetter, rocker, smokeshow

Tarte Holidaze Light Of The Party Collectors Makeup Case Review and Holiday Makeup Look Idea!


Tarte created a beautiful sequined collectors case palette for the holidays and it's really pretty to look at. The case contains all limited edition colors, a mascara, a duo brush and a travel case with six eye shadows, bronzer, blush and highlight. 

The 30 colors on the main palette however I was disappointed with, the colors are very chalky and not pigmented enough for my liking. The double ended brush however feels really nice and actually did a great job at blending. The real winner for me is the travel palette, I used this one to create the look above and the colors are all very pigmented and long lasting. 

Overall I suggest you check out the palette in the store before you purchase and see if the colors on the main palette look good on your skin as I think the colors might not show well on medium to dark skins. I am going to be giving the main case as a gift and will be keeping the travel case for myself!   

Purchased:Sephora $59








For this look I used the travel palette if you want to see a video tutorial let me know ;)

The Best Concealers For Covering Dark Circles, Blemishes, And Tattoos!


I think we can all agree when I say that concealer is THE most important makeup we use, specially if like me you have dark circles or any blemish, scar or even tattoo you want to cover. I was going thru my makeup stash, organizing and getting rid of some colors that no longer work for me and decided to share with you all my most used concealer of all times on my self and clients. I will list them in no particular order.

The one thing these concealers all have in common is they carry that perfect peachy tone that is necessary to cancel out (blue) dark circles. The second thing they all have in common is they are super pigmented which means a little bit goes a looooong way. Last but not least they are all available in stores and have a great range of colors...... Now to the breakdown of each one:

  1. Nars Concealer is creamy, long-wearing, crease-resistant, and ultra-light yet opaque helps me achieve a flawless finishI have replaced this concealer twice and for me that a big deal! 
  2. Mac Studio Conceal and Correct palette is perfect to use on my clients, but I purchased one for personal use as well. With this palette I can rest assure to always have the right colors and whats even better it comes with two color correcting colors, the yellow one is great for brightening and the orange for canceling out dark circles. 
  3. Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer.... remember I said a little goes a long way with these concealers, well with this one you definitely want to ha a light hand, or you will be blending forever! 
  4. Kat Von D Lock- it Concealer is my go to for super heavy coverage, like tattoos and scars, for dark circles not so much on me personally but my super oily skin clients RAVE about it. Its super pigmented, water and transfer resistant.
  5. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit this is my go to for a quick and fuss free makeup application, it blends smoothly. It does a good job at canceling out and brightening my dark circles and blending in with the rest of my face. 
  6. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer, the name of this product says it all! Its an all in one, conceal and treat your dark circles. I love using this anytime I feel like skipping a few steps in my beauty routine. It cancels out my dark circles and sets fairly quick which helps it not crease. 
The number one question I always get asked is how to avoid creasing, and while these concealers are great if you don't set them (or any) with powder they will move through the day. My next post will be all about setting powders ;)

Tarte has become one of my favorite makeup lines especially for their awesome concealers and foundations. This BB tinted treatment is just amaizing, it makes my face look so healthy, even and it lasts all day. I have also worn it under my other foundations for even more coverage. It comes with an incredible SPF of 30 so you can apply safely and not worry about the sun. Its oil free so it diseñar breakup me out or need to powder at all when I use it. It comes in five shades and I use the medium. I highly recommend this BB tinted moisturizer! 

Tarte se ha convertido en una de mis líneas de maquillaje preferidos especialmente por sus impresionantes correctores y fundaciones. Este tratamiento BB es increíbles, hace que mi cara se ve tan saludable, uniforme y dura todo el día. También he llevado puesto bajo mis otras fundaciones para aún más la cobertura. Viene con una increíble SPF de 30 para que pueda aplicar de forma segura y no te preocupes del sol. Tengo la piel grasa y parece que no necesito a polvo en absoluto cuando lo uso. Vienen en 5 tonos diferentes yo uso el mediano. Lo recomiendo altamente este humectante BB!

Steffany's Choice Best Of Beauty 2013: My Favorite Concealers!!


I cant believe 2013 is almost over this year flew by so fast! This year has been huge for me personally and professionally, I also tried soooo many products that it was hard to keep up with he reviews. This year I went concealer crazy I just wanted to try every single raved about concealer out there and test them my self and while a few were really good most sucked for me! I did however find five amazing concealers that do an excellent job at concealing! 

No puedo creer 2013 está casi terminado este año pasó volando tan rápido! Este año ha sido muy importante para mí personalmente y profesionalmente, también probé muchos productos que era difícil mantenerse al día con él. Este año me dedique a encontrar buenos correctores y ponerlas a prueba y mientras algunos estaban muy bien otros fueron fatales! Sin embargo he encontrado cinco correctores increíbles que hacen un excelente trabajo en ocultar las imperfecciones.

 Cle De Peu has been my favorite concealer for two years now and I 'll tell you why; it conceals and brightens like no other! What makes this concealer even better is that it seriously does not crease or fade! I have used it alone, over and under foundations and its just flawless. 

CLE De Peu es el primero en mi lista porque es increíble en serio! Este ha sido mi favorito corrector hace dos años y te diré por qué; ¡ oculta mis ojeras y aclara esta area! ¿Qué hace este corrector mejor es que en serio no arrugue o se desvanecen! Lo he usado solo, sobre y bajo base y su impecable solo.

Pros: 
The coverage
No Creasing
No Fading 

Cons:
Price!!
Color Selection





Another one on my favorites is MAC pro long wear, this is a great concealer the coverage is excellent, and its just a tad bit lighter then my skin tone but the same undertones which helps it look flawless but 'natural'. Its also my favorite to use on brides and on my self when taking flash photography since it has no flashback!

Otro de mis favoritos es MAC pro long wear, esto es un gran corrector la cobertura es excelente, y es un poco un poco más claro que mi tono de piel pero el mismo trasfondo que ayuda a una apariencia impecable pero 'natural'. Es también mi favorito para usar en las novias y en mi mismo cuando se toman fotografías con flash ya no tiene ningún retroceso!

Pros: 
You get a lot for your money
Coverage
Longevity
Color options! 

Cons:
Product waste; The pump makes it hard to control how much product you use, I always end up taking too much! 



Maybelline really outdid themselves with this concealer its honestly one of the best and the fact that its "drugstore" product is what makes it even better. This product also claims it conceals but also "corrects" meaning that with constant use it will help fade dark circles. I dont know if its true but if it does even better! 

Maybelline realmente superó ellos mismos con este corrector sinceramente uno de los mejores y el precio es lo que la hace aún mejor. Este producto también afirma que oculta pero también 'corrige' lo que significa que con el uso constante ayudará a desaparecer ojeras. No sé si es cierto pero si lo hace aún mejor!

Pros: 
Coverage
Brightens
Added Benefits
Price

Cons:
Doesnt look "natural" on pictures



Can you tell how much I LOVE this concealer? well lets just say this is my second one this year I empty out completely. Bobbi Brown know her stuff she really makes some of the best makeup products and this might be one of my favorites from her. I love this for how natural and perfecty matches my skin tone, but has a hint of salmon which helps cancel out the hideous HUGE veins around my eyes! This is my makeup bag essential!! 

¿Pueden ver cuánto amo este corrector? Bueno digamos que esta es mi segunda en este año que uso completamente. Bobbi Brown sabe sus cosas realmente hace algunos de los mejores productos de maquillaje y esto podría ser uno de mis favoritos de ella. Me encanta esto para partidos como naturales y perfecto con mi tono de piel, pero tiene una sugerencia de salmón que ayuda a cancela las venas enormes horribles alrededor de los ojos! Este es mi bolso de maquillaje esencial!!

Pros: 
Coverage
Packaging
Color range
Longevity
Natural Look 

Cons: 
Price



I slowly but surely fell in love with this concealer its excellent at covering my dark circles and it really doesn't crease! My only problem with this is the packaging is not to my liking, the tube feels like its empty and when you squeeze it sometimes more product then you need comes out! But this baby right hear COVERS so much you really wont believe just a little tiny drop of this stuff is all I use an it just covers and brightens my tired eyes! 

Lenta pero seguramente caí enamorado con este corrector su excelente a cubrir mis ojeras y realmente no arrugue! Mi único problema con esto es el embalaje no es de mi agrado, el tubo se siente vacío y cuando aprietas suele a salir mas producto de la cuenta! Pero este bebe con sólo una pequeña gota cubre mis ojeras y aclara mis ojos cansados!

Pros:
Coverage
No creasing
Waterproof
Looks great in pictures
A little goes a LONG way!
Added antioxidants and benefits

Cons:
The packaging 


Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx
