Tarte | Tarteist Pro Glow To Go Highlight+Contour Palette (Review)

Image
Product Summary: Portable highlight and contour palette with three natural artistry shades. Rich, cool undertones mimic real shadow and light reflection. Highlighting powders deliver a buildable, micro shimmer strobe. Matte contouring powder adds balanced dimension. Powered by longwearing Amazonian clay for fade-free payoff. Includes: Gleam (pearl highlight), Burst (shimmering sand highlight) and Chisel (matte contour). Cost: $26 but I bought it on sale at Sephora for $19.50 ***Cruelty Free***  One thing that I find beyond annoying when it comes to makeup is advertising a product as a contour shade when it's clearly a bronzer. A lot of people find it difficult to distinguish the two but as a company selling these types of products they should not be falsely advertising bronzer as contour and quite frankly should know the difference as well. Chisel (the contour shade) is extremely warm tone and not cool tone. It's straight up a bronzer shade with how brown it is. Normally for co...

Sephora Collection | Highlight Lowlight Face Contour Duo in Light (Review)

Image
 Product Summary: This creamy contour duo lets you easily create a sculpted look with the perfect shade combination. Modern matte highlighter attracts light and brightens your best features, while the buildable contour shade slims, sculps and defines your face in a natural way. Costs around $14.  *** Not Cruelty-Free 👎*** This contour duo was a lot more creamier than I expected it to be. A lot of the time with cream products, I'm forced to use oils to make the product manageable and blendable. But this one is extremely creamy and doesn't dry out. It's so creamy that you can easily blend it with a brush or a beauty sponge. I'm fairly pale with shitty dark under eyes so the fact that the highlighter has yellow undertones allows me to use it as a undereye concealer since it cancels out the dark/blue in under eyes.  The contour part isn't that great when you try to blend it out, it leaves behind a streaky orange mess. For fair to medium skin tones, the contour color ne...

L'Oréal: Visible Lift Foundation (Review)

Image
Description: This foundation is meant to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While also, enhancing skin-tone. It is medium to full coverage and leaves a soft matte finish to the face. I can't seem to find this foundation on L'Oréal's website but they are still being sold in stores such as Wal-mart, pharmacies etc. This foundation retails for about $16 but I got it on sale for $1.90. I have the colour 105 nude beige. Strangely, this foundation smells like sunscreen.  ***Not cruelty free 👎*** Not surprisingly, Nude Beige is slightly too dark for my skin tone but using a light concealer in the areas I want to highlight helps me make this foundation work for me. Almost like reverse-contouring. Instead of using a contour colour over a foundation that matches my skin tone, I simply skipped a step and put a small amount of foundation all over my face. With my concealer I highlight my under eyes, middle of my forehead, chin, top of cheekbones and above my...
