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 ;)

Last Minute Or Low Budget Valentines Day Gift Ideas!



 I'm sure we have all been in this awkward situation, you forget to buy your loved one a gift ore this one  even more common you aint got no money to splurge on your honey... Well I have been on both ends and its not a position I liked to be in. I did however learn that some of the best gifts are really inexpensive but filled with love and attention. I want to share with you some very low budget/last minute gift ideas for this Valentines day. 

Estoy seguro de que todos hemos estado en esta situación difícil, te olvidas de comprarle un regalo a tu amada/o este uno más común no tienes ningún dinero para derrochar en tu cariño... Bueno, he estado en ambos extremos y no es una posición en la que me gustaba estar. Sin embargo aprendí que algunos de los mejores regalos son realmente baratos pero lleno de amor y atención. Quiero compartir con ustedes algunas ideas de regalo muy bajo presupuesto y al último minuto de este día de San Valentín.



1. Coupons: This is probably my favorite one as I can still remember the first time my husband made one for me I really felt so special. I love this idea because it can be made on the day of but still feels like it was thoughtful and since you are making the coupons you can make them unique to you partners tastes and what you can afford to give. Example: One coupon for a $50 shopping spree or One hour of full body massage! 

1. Cupones: Esta es probablemente mi favorita como recuerdo la primera vez que mi marido hizo uno para mí realmente me sentí tan especial. Me encanta esta idea porque puede hacerse en el día de pero todavía siente como fue considerado y puesto que están haciendo los cupones pueden hacerlos únicos a los gustos y lo que pueda darle. Ejemplo: Un cupón para un día de compras de $50 o una hora de masaje de cuerpo completo!



  2. Breakfast In Bed: This one really never gets old specially when the one being served the breakfast is usually the cook. Try to make it extra special and add some creative touches I don't know about you but this alone makes me feel spoiled for the day.

2. Desayuno en la cama: Éste nunca pasa de moda especialmente cuando uno le sirve el desayuno al que suele ser la cocinera. Trata de hacerlo muy especial y añadir algunos toques creativos  no sé de ti pero esto hace que me sienta súper especial!



3. Spa Day: This is a great last minute gift idea because seriously who doesn't love a spa day? Find out whats her favorite spa or one she has been wanting to go and buy her a gift voucher and boom you have yourself a great last minute but very lovely gift! If on a low budget make the spa at home, there are so many great ideas for diy, just take the kids (if any) to the grandma for the day and pamper her or him from the comfort of your home. 

3. Día de Spa: Esta es una gran idea de regalos de última hora porque en serio a quien no le guste un día de spa? Descubre cual su favorito spa y comprar un bono de regalo. Si con un presupuesto muy bajo crea  el spa en casa, hay tantas buenas ideas para el consentirse en casa, al igual que los niños (si los hay) llevalo a la casa de abuela por el día y a mimarse desde la comodidad de su hogar.



4. A Super Muchi What I Love About You Book: Like the coupons this is a great gift to give your love one, its not only very unique to your feeling towards your partner but its also not expensive to purchase or even better make one yourself! 

4. Un Libro Sobre Las Cosas Que Amo De Ti: como los cupones es un gran regalo para dar a su amor, no sólo muy singular a tus sentimientos hacia tu pareja, pero es también comprar uno no cuesta mucho o incluso mejor  
aun lo puedes crear. 

5. A Monthly Beauty Box Subscription: This one here is such a nice gift because not only will your partner feel special on Valentines Day but also every month she receives her beauty box. There are some boxes that offer boxes for men too, and  there is one for every budget too! 

5. Una Suscripción de la Caja de Belleza Mensual: Éste aquí es un regalo tan agradable porque no sólo va su compañero sentirse especial durante el Día de Valentinos sino también cada mes recibe su caja de belleza. ¡Hay algunas cajas que ofrecen cajas para hombres también, y hay un para cada presupuesto también!

I will honestly say that I really enjoy a DIY gift more then anything, and lets not forget flowers! I really love flowers, they bright up my day. I feel that these "holidays" have become more and more about the materialistic stuff than the actual meaning of the day. There is no need for valentines day to become another big expense in your life, just enjoy yourself make your loved ones feel special! 

Voy a decir con toda sinceridad que yo realmente disfruto de un regalo hecho a manos y no olvidemos las flores! Me encanta las flores, alegran mi día de una manera inexplicables. Creo que estas "celebraciones" se han vuelto más y más cosas sobre el materialista que el significado real del día. No es necesario para el día de los enamorados se convierta en otro gran gasto en su vida, relájate y solo dale atención que sus seres queridos se sentirán especiales.

Good Luck/ Buensa Suerte! Xxx
