Swatches: Wet n Wild Spring 2014 Palettes

Greetings from the Dark Side!

Today, I was very lucky to find a display of the new Spring 2014 Wet n Wild palettes! I have an obsession with getting all the limited edition Wet n Wild palettes (gotta catch 'em all!) so I had to pick these up as well. I wanted to get some quick swatches for you guys in case you were interested in getting these too. Right off the bat I can say that I really like 'Walking the Red Carpet', but I am not very impressed with 'Flirting at the After Party'. Hopefully I can have a few looks for you guys with these palettes soon!

Weekly Favorites #1

1. NYX Butter Glosses
My absolute favorite product of this week was the NYX Butter Glosses. These are pigmented, smooth, and not sticky. I haven't been excited by lip glosses in a looooong time, so I was pleasantly surprised by these ones. The one in the picture is 'Peaches and Creme' but I absolutely love all the shades I have. In fact, my favorite of the bunch is actually 'Creme Brulee', a nude shade. I picked up 'Creme Brulee' at the recommendation of one of my favorite Youtube vloggers Claire Marshall, aka HeyClaire. I also used one of these in my Hufflepuff look.

I finally had a chance to try it out these past two days and I want to post my first thoughts on it. Keep reading for more information~

First Impression: Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation + Airbuki Bamboo Powder Foundation Brush

Greetings from the Dark Side!

I recently purchased the Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation and the Airbuki brush that is meant for the foundation. I haven't purchased much from Sephora lately, but I received a Sephora and Ulta gift card from my lovely supervisor as a early graduation gift and as a goodbye from my work-study job and I decided to splurge a bit (I will post a haul shortly)! This foundation has been on my wishlist for a long time now, and I really wanted to give it a try. I have only used it twice and I want to post this First Impression post now to before I begin my 1-month test trial. Keep reading for more information~
