FOTD March 19, 2012 (17 of 100)

I have over 30 FOTD's for my 100 FOTD goal but unfortunately I haven't posted them all. I'll try to do better.

This is actually from last week. I was practicing for St. Paddy's day but I didn't end up doing this look.

Tarte for True Blood palette - "Moss" & "The Light"

ELF Cream Liner - brown

FOTD 16 of 100 2.21.2012

This is a very similar look to an EOTD I did recently. But I am really loving the Maybelling 24 Hr. Color Tattoo cream e/s.

I can never remember all the products I use. I always to write them down. But I'll do my best!!

Products:
Maybelling 24 Hr. Color Tatto - Pomegranate Punk
Tarte for True Blood palette - Immortal, Charmer, and the Light (the only one I'm not 100% positive about is the Light)
I have no idea which lip gloss I'm wearing lol
Maybelling Fit Me liquid and powder foundation
ELF Cream Liner - black
Not sure what I used for blush but you could do either a bronzer or a pink blush with this look.

Tarte for True Blood Review and Swatches

The set comes with primer, mascara, and full size gel liner.

First off, I LOVE this packaging! Its absolutely beautiful. It's the main reason why I bought this. I'm not really into "keeping up with the Jones es" in the make up world and getting all the expensive make up. But I love True Blood so when I saw this I just HAD to get it. It took me a while, it was on the expensive side and hard to justify but I'm so happy I have it.

I did some swatches. I suck at swatching but I did my best.

I swatched all of these with the primer that came with this set.

The pigmentation was quite good, every time I've used it my make up has come out spot on. It also blends quite well.

 

The shimmer shadows are actually quite glittery. Not always the best thing and not my favorite. But really it's only "waitress" that I find to be too glittery.  The silver one "The true death" is great. Not glittery but amazingly shimmery. 

I hate the eyeliner (emphasEYES gel liner). It's way too soft. As soon as I touch it to my eye lid, it smudges. The mascara is OK. Not any better than anything else I've ever used. As far as the primer goes, I've used better for far cheaper.

Overall I would buy this again because its True Blood. I'm glad I have it, I love using it but if it wasn't for the True Blood theme, I wouldn't buy it.

If there's anything I missed please feel free to ask!!

FOTD 9.30.11 Tarte For True Blood (3) "Not Your Average Waitress"

Me and my hubby went to a wedding on Friday and of course like any other girlie girl I bought a new dress and did my make up and put some fake eyelashes on! It was a very intimate wedding but we had a blast. There were a few times that we were the only ones on the dance floor but we didn't mind. I'm sure people thought we were crazy but we laughed and had a blast.

I used my Tarte for True Blood palette again. Hubby picked out the look he wanted me to use out of the 4 mini tutorials that came with the palette. He has good taste!

My new favorite dress!!!

Products used:

Face:
Boots No7 Mousse foundation - I love this foundation because it gives really great, full, coverage. I don't have to use a face primer with this product either.
Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder
The blush I used was from my NYX Pro Make Up Kit. If you wanna see it, let me know!

Eyes:
Femme Couture gel liner - Espresso
Femme Couture mascara - black
