Purple Makeup Look with Tarte Pink Lip Gloss

One of my YouTube subscribers watched my review of Tarte's The Vanity and left a comment about her favorite gloss that comes with this palette. I told her I would try it out, and she's right! It's super pretty! Thanks jamnotjelly702 for pointing that one out to me -- there's too much in this palette! :)

Here's the makeup look I did today using this pink shimmery gloss (the dark purple color is also from the Tarte palette):





























I tried my Lancome Oscillating Mascara for the first time today too! What do you think of the length?

Hope you all had a great weekend! :B

Tarte The Vanity Limited Edition Palette Review

'tarte

I bought tarte's newest palette at Sephora. It's called "The Vanity", and it's a follow up to tarte's "We Wish You Well" holiday palette from last year. It comes with 16 brand-new eyeshadows, 16 brand-new lipglosses, a luminizer, a mineral powder bronzer in Park Avenue Princess, a mini "Lights, Camera, Lashes!" mascara, and 2 brushes (one eyeshadow and one eyelining)! It was $52, but for 41 items, that's only $1.27 each!!!

My swatches are below (the eyeshadows/lipglosses/blushes do not have names so I couldn't really label them here -- but the eyeshadows are in left to right order from top to bottom row. Click on the images for a better view):

I also recorded a review on YouTube. Check it out!



Overall, this palette is great! tarte makeup has Vitamin E in it too (good for preventing premature aging)! This palette would make a wonderful holiday gift for your makeup loving friend or family member (or yourself!).

Here's the pumpkin orangy bown look I did using everything from this palette (except for the eye liner):

MAC Swish e/s (lid)
Urban Decay Last Call e/s (outer corner and crease)

CHEEKS AND LIPS
MAC Cream Colour Base in Crushed Bougainvillea (LOVE IT!!! Too bad you can't use this one on your eyes though)

This was a quick look -- only took me about 10 minutes total. Hope you like it! :B

***UPDATE***

I got this message from Pursebuzz on the Crushed Bougainvillea cream colour base when I mentioned that it can't be used on the eyes due to the warning label that came with it in the packaging:
"Hey There!
I think this only applies to those who are allergic to red dyes and products. A lot of people are allergic to red pigment/dyes/shadows and that’s why the warning is there. But if you aren’t then it’s fine :)~PB"

So if you're planning to use Crushed Bougainvillea on your eyes, do so at your own discretion! Make sure you are not allergic or anything first!
