Tarte Clay Play Face Shaping Palette Does anyone else forget how good palettes are? And then when you finally get back to them it’s like an awakening? That’s my relationship with the Tarte Clay Play Palette! ⁣ ⁣ I rediscovered it this weekend while getting ready for a date. I wanted to do a simple, classic, matte look so broke out this palette again and immediately made it my face palette for this month’s project pan. ⁣ It’s made up of all matte eye shadow shades with three mattes bronzers. I have a particular love of matte, cool toned shades and could honestly use this palette forever and never get bored of it! ⁣ ⁣ Each shade is very pigmented, and blends like a dream. I love to use the bronzer shade desert as my contour and then blend it out with terracotta for a perfectly sculpted contour.  Tarte has come out with a Clay Play Palette Volume II which includes shimmer eyeshadows, a blush and a highlighter. If you like Tarte formulas and prefer some colour, warm t

Ooh la la! Luxury beauty products have always been a passion of mine (or addiction, depends who you ask), so I've decided to round up some of my faves and share them with you. All of these products are 1) ones I've used up and repurchased 2) products that I truly believe are worth your hard earned money. Most of them are base products, because those are the products I think you should invest in the most but I promise that I will put up some posts luxury eyes and lippie products too!  Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation Ultra matte, ultra long wearing, ultra amazing! This is my go to foundation in the summer. It is full coverage, blends well and lasts all day. It's so matte that sometimes I skip the setting powder just wear foundation.  $63 at Sephora.  Link to buy: here  (this is an affiliate link) Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Concealer  I don't have words to describe how much I love this concealer. I've purchased it count

Tatcha "The Silk Canvas" Primer:  Welcome to bougie-ville! We've all heard the hype around this product, makeup artists, influencers, bloggers, YouTubers, and aunties everywhere were talking about back in 2018 – and I'm hear to tell you that it's 100% worth the hype!  This primer helps my makeup last, keep my face from getting oily throughout the day, and is like an added step of skincare. I even wear it when I am not wearing foundation (or any makeup at all) as it helps to protect your skin from pollutants, and gives your skin a velvety finish!  $68 at Sephora.  Link to buy:  here.   (please note this is an affiliate link) Arbonne Makeup Primer I've recently jumped onboard the Arbonne makeup train, and this primer is one of my fave products from their line. It's vegan, gluten free, and of course cruelty free. A tiny amount goes a long way, and I apply it to my t-zone and the areas where I have larger pores. I will

 *cue Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh" Anyone else love a good wrap dress? I can't get enough of them! They're just so flattering, no matter your body type.  As someone who's incredibly short (4'11 short) sometimes finding the right dress can be a task. Shopping for a dress goes from fun to torture very quickly! Every dress I try on, either the torso is too long, sleeves too long, the top is too low cut, etc But with wrap dresses, you can adjust how low cut the front is and because the waist is cinched you can get away with it being a little but long.  This red wrap dress is from Just Fab (can you tell they're a fave spot to shop?). I wear a size medium and it fits perfectly! I could definitely fit a small, but I generally size up as I like to avoid the dress being it being too tight in the arms and shoulders.  You can find the link to this exact dress, here .
