Product Summary: Tartelette in bloom is arranged in coordinating rows for 3 easy looks. From fresh mornings to flirty nights, this palette is always in season. It's made of Amazonian clay for all day long wear. Cost: $68 but bought on sale for $38.25   This is the perfect color story for the current season of spring and summer. Tartelette in bloom is a mix of cool tones and warm tones palette which is different to what I am used to and typically go for. However, the shades are still very much something I can work with and who doesn't love a nude/natural eyeshadows?  Over the years, I have tried a few different Tarte products. I can attest that I have had the best experience using their powder products over anything else and this palette is no different. It's been a complete joy incorporating it in my makeup routine.  This palette has the perfect balance of both shimmery and matte shades. I do tend to gravitate more towards the lighter shades just because I don't like ha...

 Summary: A Morganville Vampires short story about Myrnin and how/when he was turned.  Interestingly enough, this short story was only available through Wattpad. I love authors who go out of their way to make it easily accessible for their readers to find and read short stories. I hate when they make it difficult to obtain or it's clearly a money grab.  Myrnin is that one character in the Morganville series that you want to know their whole story. He's so quirky and nutty that you wonder just how he came to be and who would be crazy enough to turn him into a vampire.  I am so happy we got this short story because it truly gave us an insight on his backstory. He was sold by his mother so she could help sustain her other children. His father was a loony which is where he gets his mania side from...probably not the best kind of person to turn into a vampire because it doesn't stop the mental illness from progressing. Give them centuries to live and just how unhinged can...

Product Summary: Give your hair TLC with pure Argan oil, keratin and grapeseed oil. All the goodness your hair needs to correct the look and feel of dry, dull hair while protecting against split ends, breakage and frizz. This mask penetrates with hydration, bringing back the strength and shine you know. Cost: $5-8 ***Cruelty free*** Over the years I've had hit or miss experiences with Marc Anthony products. While I was skeptical, I'm happy to say that it worked quite well! I have a lot of hair that I colour every 4-6 weeks and on top of that I like styling my hair with heat tools so my hir was in need of some much needed TLC. It did require using the conditioning treatment a couple of times to see some results but after the second treatment there was visible improvement. The ends seemed hydrated and had more like to them.  I will mention that after a couple days I did need to use hair oil to keep my ends hydrated with how often I workout and style my hair I did need a boost. Ho...

 Product Summary: Brighten tired eyes with the three-in-one cooling eye cream. It contains a super fine low molecular weight Hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate skin, lock in moisture and plump fine lines from within. The powerful combination of cucumber, Aloe Vera, and Chamomile cools, hydrates and relieves puffiness on contact while witch hazel is brilliant at reducing dark circles and tightening the skin. Cost: $39 ***Cruelty free***  it comes to no surprise that I am continuing my journey on using and finding a good undereye cream. The older I get and the more I work, I try to keep up with skincare and finding a product that works well on me. And without breaking the bank.  Now I know that the before and after pictures don't look that much different from one another but I will say that there was a noticeable difference in the reduction of fine lines. They weren't as deep which was nice to see.  It as well did help hydrate the area but that's also because I ha...

  ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Something changed Prue Halliwell on New Year's Eve, when a stranger gave her the most passionate kiss of her life. Now Prue feels driven to kiss every man she meets. At first this is fun, but when Prue starts to grow weaker with every kiss, the Charmed Ones know evil is afoot. Can I just say how happy I am that I decided to read this book series!?! I've always loved Charmed since I was a little girl and the fact that so many years later I can expand more into the Charmed Universe just gives me such nostalgia vibes. This book was so good and honestly could have easily been an episode of Charmed that's how well thought out and written it was.  It's nice seeing the sisters interact with each other and essentially it seems like each book is going to be a new storyline or 'episode'. As I have mentioned in my Charmed tv show review, I did in fact buy a replica of the Book of Shadows but I'm surprised to say that t...
