Tarte Amazonian Clay Collection Product Photos and Swatches




























Some Inspiration....




Here's some inspirational quotes that always give me stregnth on those days where I feel anything but beautiful, because no matter how you think you look on the outside, people can see your true beauty. All you have to do is believe in yourself. 

"Everyone is a star and deserves the right to twinkle"- Marilyn Monroe

"To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself." -Thich Nhat Hanh

"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within." -Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

"By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before." -Edwin Elliot

"You are as amazing as you let yourself be. Let me repeat that. You are as amazing as you let yourself be." -Elizabeth Alraune

"Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you don't do it. There is someone who would miss you if you were gone. There is a place that you alone can fill." -Jacob M. Braude

"I wonder why it is that we so often imprison ourselves in the opinions of other people. There can be no punishment worse than conspiring in our own diminishment."-Dawna Markova

"The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others." -Sonya Friedman

"Even on a bad day...You won't lose your smile, it's right under your nose. You just forget where it's there. So Smile" -Unknown

"Every man and woman alive is gifted by God in some special way. People who have a self-image of worth are going to see value in what they do. This is the attitude that motivates them to be and to do their best. It's a drive that comes from within people." -William Walto

"When you're a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world that can change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one's lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can't accept yourself, then certainly no one else will." -Sasha Azevedo

I hope these helped to brighten your day! You are all beautiful in your own, wonderful way. Never forget that! 

Thank you so much for your continued support! I love you all :)

An update and I need your opinions....

Sorry for the lapse in videos everyone, but tomorrow I will be filming a video on face masks/exfoliators.

MAC Cremeblend Blush Review

Product: MAC Cremeblend Blush
Shade: So Sweet, So Easy
Type: Cream Blush, Designed to not dry matte
Price: $19.50
Grade: F






Additional Info: This is the only Cremeblend Blush I have ever tried. The other ones may be a better quality. I have seen reviews where people loved this product, however, mine was just terrible. My blush was not even swatchable, the pigmentation was so bad. It was very oily as well. The other reviews that I have seen, seem to have better luck with this product, so maybe I just got a bad one. Either way, I would never re-purchase it. Also, this is the only MAC product I have ever bought that I absolutely hated. So, please don't let this stop you from trying other items.
