Flashback Foundations Friday: Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation

Okay, who else got sucked in to buying this foundation when they saw essiebutton raving like crazy about it? Trust me, I wouldn't have looked twice at the Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation if it wasn't for her but I'm not blaming Essie at all because guys, this is an amazing foundation. 

Claims: It's like airbrushing without the air! Powered by Amazonian clay and infused with natural, light-reflecting gemstones, this unique waterproof foundation gives skin rich dimension while invigorating the complexion for a youthful-looking appearance. The full coverage, weightless powder formula is offered in a range of skin-matching shades and last for 12 hours. Using the unique custom mesh delivery system, simply pick up and buff on just the right amount of moisture-rich powder for a flawless airbrushed effect while allowing skin to breathe. Benefits: Dermatologist tested, has Tarte 12 Hour Power, is waterproof, and vegan friendly.

These are amazing claims for such a different type of foundation that I couldn't but feel skeptical at first. If you want to learn more about my thoughts on the Tarte Amazonia Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation, then click on read more!

Lashes & Lingerie: Adore Me Lingerie

(courtesy of: Adore Me)

Let's be honest. We all love to dress up on the outside but once in a while we have to treat ourselves by dressing up on the inside. #treatyoself

I was inspired by Adore Me to participate in their Lashes & Lingerie challenge and create amazing beauty looks that I think you all would enjoy. Adore Me is a store as well as a monthly subscription box that is all about the lingerie. It caters to all women of sizes with their range starting from size XS - 6XL, which in my opinion is absolutely amazing. They sell bras, panties, swimwear, corsets, and lingerie. With their amazing variety, you can either buy individual pieces or participate in their monthly subscription service. 

In the subscription service, you can either opt to be a VIP member or a Pay As You Go member. Either member must take the style profile quiz in order for Adore Me to construct your unique box. After, each month you'll receive a showroom of what your lingerie of the month will be. Now the subscription service retails for $39.95. There are specific benefits when it comes to being a VIP member or a Pay As You Go Member. As a Pay As You Go Member, you get to have a beauty room each month and you get free shipping and exchanges. Whereas, with the VIP member benefits, you get a showroom each month, your first box is only $24.95 and every sixth box you get is free, you get $10 off any style any time, free shipping and exchanges, exclusive access to VIP only sales and sets, and finally you get to skip a month if you don't like what you see in your showroom. The company seems very flexible with how their membership and benefits work and overall the service seems easy.

November 2014 Ipsy Bag: Girl Meets Glitter

Hello everyone and welcome to another month of Ipsy! For this November month, the theme was Girl Meets Glitter which is very fitting for the upcoming holidays. The bag came in a silver glitter pouch with hot pink zipper lining. The bag was also in collaboration with Forever 21. 

The bag is okay in my mind but it's definitely not my favorite style out of all the bag I've received thus far. For some reason it kind of reminds me of Barbie and her accessories, lol I don't know why but it does...does anyone else think this way? Hehe, anyways as per usual the bag comes with five personalized beauty items and of course I took a sneak peek in the glam room and was super pleased to see the items that I got.

So if you want to see the beauty items that I got in my bag this month, please click on the read more!

Lover.ly: Inspirations For An Autumn Wedding

Hello beauties and Happy Halloween! I hope you are all having a spooktacular day! But, as the weather turns a bit chillier and the leaves begin to fall to the ground, and love is in the air, what better time of year then to have a beautiful Autumn wedding. 

I love the fall season and the nice weather that it brings. People are falling in love, getting Pumpkin Spice lattes at their local Starbucks, and cuddling with their loved ones. Many, choose to have an Autumn wedding (I am definitely going to be that person) and brides are looking for inspirations on what to wear and how to wear their makeup.

I was recently contacted by a representative (Hello Carolyn!) at Lover.ly (which is a website that helps with wedding planning and it is amazing! Brides, you should definitely check this website out) and was asked to create makeup inspirations for their beautiful gowns. 

So, challenge accepted! Click on read more and check out my makeup ideas for each wedding gown.
