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!

Anti-Aging 101: Six Tips And Secrets To Look Younger And More Awake!

There is nothing that gives up our age (or ages us more) than the skin around our eyes. Fortunately for us if we properly take care of our eye area, we can prevent and even repair signs of aging like wrinkles, dark circles and puffy eyes.

• The first tip and most important is prevention, we do this by not exposing our skin to the sun without sunblock and wearing sunglasses to protect the delicate skin around our eyes. 
• Apply eye creams rich in antioxidants and vitamins, a great eye cream should have active ingredients that combat a few issues at once. I'm currently using and loving THIS ONE
• Visine yes little old visine is my number one tip for my clients that complain of always looking tired. Bright eyes are one of the first tricks of looking more youthful and awake!
• Lashes, lashes, lashes I swear it is incredible some of the before and after of my clients after they get eyelash extensions. Faux lashes can take years of you and give you and instant (no knife) eye lift! 
• Concealer is a must for looking more awake and youthful, the trick is finding one that won't crease on you and if it has added benefits even better, like THIS ONE. 
• Last but not least highlight, yes you are reading correctly. If used correctly highlighters work wonders for faking a more awake look. One of my favorite places to use them is under the brow, it immediately lifts the area giving you a more youthful look. I also love using it in the tear duct and a  beige pencil in the water line to open up the eyes. 

Dont forget that good diet, not smoking and getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep play a very important role in how well we age!

Friday Favorite: Motives Red My Lips Lipstick Palette

Motives cosmetics is ranking pretty high in my lists of favorites brands right now. They are doing a great job at creating not only trendy beautiful makeup but very versatile and all age appropriate and at a decent price mark. I am loving their Red My lips quad palate for many reasons but mainly because god knows I live red lips. The colors apply like a lip balm and look like lipstick, the colors range from a subtle pink to bold red. The palate is a great addition to my pro kit as well as personal, and its rich in vitamin c so no dry lips now in the colder weather. 

La marca de cosmeticos Motives esta haciendo un gran trabajo creando productos no solo lindos y a la moda si no que también apropiado para el uso de cualquier grupo de edades. Esta paleta de labiales rojos me fascina y esta bien balanceada con tonos rosa y rojos intensos que lucen en todo tipos de pieles. Compre dos una para añadir en mi kit profesional y otra para uso profesional, también me encanta que tiene vitamina E hacia no reseca los labios para la temperatura mas fría que vienen. El producto aplica como una balma pero luce como pintalabios.

My Favorite Product For A Dewy Skin: Mac Strobe Cream

I don't know about you but I love that luminous glow that Jennifer Lopez is known for. I think it looks so sexy and makes your skin look younger versus a matte flat look. I have oily skin so achieving this look is not always easy for me because I can either look like JLO or a pot of grease. One product that I've been loving so much is MAC's strobe cream, it makes achieving that glow so much easier. This cream can be used alone, mixed with your foundation, or over your foundation in the areas you want to hight light. I will make this clear I DO NOT recommend this for everyday use, this is one of the most misused products from MAC and using this everyday can clog your pores and cause you to break out! I know there are people that use this everyday with no problem but this is just my opinion. Something that I do love about this product is that it come packed with high amounts of anti-oxidants and moisturizing agents. Have you tried this product before? 

No sé de ti pero me encanta ese resplandor luminoso que Jennifer Lopez siempre luce. Creo que se ve tan sexy y hace que su piel parece más joven frente a un aspecto mate plano. Tengo piel grasosa para lograr este look no siempre es fácil para mí porque puedo parecer JLO o un bote de grasa. Un producto que he sido amante es Strobe cream de MAC, hace lograr ese resplandor mucho más fácil. Esta crema puede ser utilizada solo, mezclado con su fundación, o sobre sus bases en las áreas que desee dar la luz. Aclararé yo no recomiendo esto para el uso diario, este es uno de los productos más abuso de MAC y usando todos los días puede obstruir los poros y causarte acné  Sé que hay gente que usa todos los días sin ningún problema, pero esto es sólo mi opinión. Algo que me gusta de este producto es que viene embalado con altas cantidades de antioxidantes y agentes humectantes. ¿Has probado este producto antes?

Tried And Tested: Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Mask!

I went in to LUSH to restock on some bath bombs and body creams, of course I started talking to the sales associates and whining about how badly I've been breaking out when she recommended I try catastrophe mask. After I read the front and saw that one of the ingredients were blueberries I was sold, blueberries are rich in antioxidants and are great to eat and also in skincare so I thought this has to be good!

Sorry For The Blurriness :(

The sales associates explained to me that I should wash my face before applying this and to keep on my face for 10 minutes. This is a fresh mask so it has to be kept refrigerated.

Voila! After removing the mask. 

My first impression was really how thick it looked and actually is, so that made it a tad bit uncomfortable to apply especially over the already sensitive broken out areas. I have to say that my face did burn a little while the mask was on but as soon as I removed it my face felt cleaner, softer and looked calmer thanks to the calamine, and chamomile!

The main reason I will not be buying this mask again is that it has fragrance, now this might be what makes my face burn or something else is definitely causing this. But I really don't understand the need for fragrance especially when the mask is supposed to be for acne prone skin AKA as sensitive skin.

 I did finish the whole pot to give it a fair try and see how my skin would react. I did not notice any difference in my breakouts, I am not going to blame this mask directly as I am currently in esthetics school but if anything I broke out even more. But remember that all skins are different and what doesn't work for me might do wonders for you! Good Luck Xxx
