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 ;) 

Too Faced Le Grand Chateau Review

I decided to start this years holiday shopping early, I tend to leave these type of things for last minute and then end up being all stressed out. I could not resist this beautiful packaging from Too Faced and (along with two other ones) decided to purchase! Too Faced are one of the most creative when putting out holiday packaging, they are always so cute I don't even want to use them. 

The Le Grande Chateau Limited Edition Dollhouse Box comes with three palettes that include 6 eyeshadows, and one blush. It also comes with a trial size of their best selling Better than sex mascara. They each have a theme (occasion) to them. If you decide to buy it to keep it for your self this makes it nicer because its great for traveling. What make this collection such a great one for gift giving is that you can give the whole box to a special person or if you can give each palette to three special people. 

I swathed them and the colors are beautiful, the blushers however I like only two out of three. My favorite palette is Paris After Dark and in second place Paris au Naturale. Check out the pictures of this cute collection and swatches and leave your comments below!
