Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess Review + Swatch

Today I wanted to talk about the Tarte bronzer in Park Avenue Princess. 

This bronzer is a mini size but I feel like this would last a decent time. To be honest I don't wear a lot of bronzer but I decided to give this a try because I heard a lot of good things about this product. 

First of all, the color is perfect. It's not orange at all but it's not a muddy brown color. It's like a golden bronzy color and it's really pretty. It compliments a lot of skin tones so it's very universal. It also has a little bit of shimmer in it which makes your skin look very glowy. It's not shimmery to the point where it's obnoxious and you look like a disco ball!


The texture is really soft and velvety as well as being very pigmented. 


I also really like the packaging with the cool looking cover and the top being rather... squishy! 

This is a staple summer product for me because I can just apply this with a fluffy brush all over my cheeks and I'm done with my face makeup. It looks really pretty without a blush over it and it makes my skin a golden bronze glow. 


I never thought that I would love this product as much as I do but it has quickly become my staple product in my makeup collection. 

Benefit Boi-ing concealer and Lemon aid primer Review + Swatch

I'm back with another review and today's featured product is Benefit's Boi-ing concealer and Benefit's Lemon aid primer. 

I got this duo from Ulta at the beauty-to-go cart and I snatched it up because it was such a good deal! It was very much an impulse buy because I never use concealer! Although it wasn't a waste because I wanted to try the lemon aid primer anyway! :) I considered the concealer to be a bonus!


The concealer is a pretty full coverage concealer in my opinion. It's not too heavy but it covers some blemishes and some veining and blueness in my under eyes. One downside was that I found that the consistency was a little bit stiff and not as creamy. Although, if I worked my finger into the product then I got a generous amount of it on my finger but I wished that it would be a little bit more creamier. 


Now onto the Lemon aid primer. You can put this primer on your eyelid as a primer for correcting the veining on the lids. The yellowness of the product will counteract the redness on the eyelid. I think this is a really good product because it does a good job with concealing the redness of the eyelid. The consistency is very creamy and buttery. I also like to apply this under my eyes as a base of my concealer. One because it does a good job priming for the concealer and also it's also a good base for the boi-ing concealer. I do that because the boi-ing concealer is pink toned and my skin is more yellow. 


In conclusion, I would recommend Lemon aid but not necessarily the concealer. I'm not a huge concealer person so some people may like this but I'm not a big fan of the concealer.

Benefit Watt's Up! Highlighter Review + Swatch

Hello everybody, I'm back with a new product review and today's featured product is Benefit's Watt's Up! highlighter.

Benefit's Watt's Up! ($30.00) is a champagne hued highlighter for the face. This highlighter is very smooth and pigmented which will work for almost all skin type and complexion.

What I really love about this highlighter is first of all, the color! It's a beautiful straight-up champagne. Not too pink nor golden. It's also really great because it's not glittery like most of cream highlighters can have. It gives the perfect amount of glow to your cheeks.

The consistency is great because it's very creamy without feeling greasy or oily. For people that have oily skin like myself, it doesn't make you look oily IF you put a small amount. If you put too much on, it can tend to make your face look oily. Even though I have oily skin I love the way it looks on my skin. To prevent it from looking too oily I like to take the product on my finger FIRST then, blending it out with my finger or the sponge applicator that comes with the product on the other side. I don't like applying straight from the product because it can be a little bit overwhelming. 

All in all, I love this product and I recommend it. Even thought the price is a little bit steep, I would say that this is very much worth it and I would repurchase it again but I have a feeling that this would last a long time. 

You can purchase this product wherever Benefit is sold. (Sephora, Ulta, macy's)
