Review: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush....

 Hi Everyone!!

Today I'm going to introducing Tarte's newest product, Amazonian Clay 12-Hr Blush. Here's a brief description of the blushes according to the Sephora Website ( they are a Sephora exclusive)

Infused with natural clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun, this nutrient-rich blush benefits all skin types for a fade-free flawless finish for an amazing 12 hours. Inspired by Tarte's best-selling shades of cheek stains and lip tints, the colors range from soft to vivid to suit a wide variety of skintones. 

I received Flush, Amused, Tipsy and Exposed to share with you all...Here we go....

 Flush- A raspberry bright pink matte shade perfect for darker skin tones. I found the color of Flush to be of a medium pigment, so its not super sheer but "just right" in application. I honestly, love this blush. I own the Cheek Stain with the same name. I might need to play with them, see how they layer:).

 Amused- a light punchy pink matte blush that all the rage in lipstick and glosses today in a blush. Absolutely gorgeous, not chalky, sweet pretty pink...had me dreaming of spring!

 Exposed- Very light bronze with a satiny application. I was disappointed in Exposed. I thought it would be more bronzy, but instead it barely showed up on me. Even  as a highlighter, I would skip it.:(

 Tipsy- a peachy high pigmented matte with a hint of satin. Extra goregeious!!! Restored the blush heaux in me!! This a must buy for blushes!

Here's my idea of swatches.:( Does no justice on how they apply or look with them on. I just posted the picture to show you...I tried! lol!

Overall: Grab  Tipsy, Amused, and Exposed right now! Also, the 12-hr claim, on my oily skin, they stay on all day...at least 8 hrs, til I washed it off. They are priced at $25 a piece but that's $1 less than NARS blush.:) lol!

Review: Cover Girl Queen Collection Lip Color.....

I finally got the chance to try the new Queen Collection Lip Color and I'm excited! I've been a fan since the very first collection of QC products that came out around 2006, 2007. I remember when their foundation collection fitted an array of women of color shades to be rivaled with. Since then, they have revamped a couple of times and now they have introducted a new lipstick line that I heard great things about. So, let's get started!

I was blessed to recieve four shades: Nude Attitude, Ruby Slipper, Fine Wine, and Powderpuff Pink....

I adore the packaging! Sleek, smooth, quality....

Swatches( gasp!)- Fine Wine, Nude Attitude, Powderpuff Pink, and Ruby Slipper.....

Nude Attitude is a golden nude shimmer. It's more pigmented than I thought it would be. Most colors in this range are sheer on my naturally dark lips. I like this one ALOT. Perfect basic day shade.

Ruby Slipper is a brownish light brick red shimmer. This will definitely be on of my "go to" red shades.

Its so pigmented its stains the lips. Really stains. But the color on is gorgeous.

Powderpuff Pink is flat bright pink. I will compare this to VS Sexy Lip Stick in Beg Me which is discontinued. Its a bright pink that women my shade and darker could wear without having to manipulate the hell of  out it with lip liners and glosses.

Fine Wine is also a flat ( meaning no shimmer) dark berry color. If this was matte, it would be a winner for me. I own dozens of colors like this so it didnt really excite me.

All the CG Queen Collection Lip Colors I recieved are of a satin texture, meaning its not matte but has a bit of sheen, but not glossy.  I'm glad they are not glossy. lol! The only negative is that the darker shades and even the pink I have are stain quite a bit and are tough to get off with just plain cleanser. I would suggest cold cream if you purchase a darker shade.

My Wal- Mart just received these and they were in horrible order. It was almost like someone just threw them in the display!!! Talking about an infuriated beauty addict!!

Have you tried these? If so, let me know the color(s) you purchased and how you like them!!

Yesterday I picked up about.....9 Kleancolor polishes at my local BSS. They sell them for $.99 and I swear I'm the only person that buys them!! Really, they tend to have dust on the tops and everything and they suppose to be $1.99 but I get them for $. 99 hookup. As if I need more polish. smh.

Look:
Kleancolor Silver
Color Club Love Em'/Leave Em' Glitter Polish
Nail Gems from Sally

  I need that tool that helps you pick up rhinestones. I would have done all the tips with the stones if I had one.:(

I feel so fancy with these stones. uh? lol!
