Haul: Tarte 30% Off Sale

I made an order off of Tartes website last week when they were having 30% off their entire website. It was an amazing deal so I ended up picking up three of their blushes. I picked up the colors in Tipsy, Flushed, and Fearless. I forgot to check but I remember adding their bronzer sample for free but for some reason it didn't go through. So today I received my package and I am just very upset and disappointed. There just aren't any words for me to express my disappointment.

When I heard the FEDEX truck I was super excited but it ended up going to my moms house and dropped it off over their. I literally ran there, picked it up and came back home. When I opened the box my heart dropped. Let down number one, apparently I didn't order a deluxe sample of the bronzer which I am pretty sure I had added to my cart. Let down number two was when I opened up the tissue one of my blushes wasn't even a box. I opened it up and obviously it was completely smashed to bits. I opened up the other two blushes to make sure they weren't cracked either. Thankfully they weren't or I would have been a very unhappy camper.

Like I said it's completely broken and theirs possibly no chance of me even saving this blush. I did swatch whatever was left of it. This blush has huge glitter chunks but after swatching it the bigger chucks seemed to fall off and all that was left was the color of the blush and little, itty bitty specks of sparkle that's barely even noticeable with just the slightest sheen. It's actually really pretty but sadly I will probably have to wait a few more days to get it replaced. I have emailed Tartes customer service and hopefully it will all get straightened out soon. Hopefully sooner than later though.

 

LEFT: Tipsy

RIGHT: Flushed

Tipsy is a gorgeous matte coral shade. I didn't swatch as I was just too upset to do anymore swatches. Flushed is a berry shade great for fall and winter so I picked that up.

I will have swatches and a full review up after I test out these colors. Thanks for reading and I will see you guys soon.

Ipsy June 2013 - On The Wild Side

I received my June 2013 Ipsy bag yesterday but I didn't have the chance to post as I was out fishing and swimming with my family so here it is a day late. I've been on the fence about Ipsy lately so I think if the next few bags aren't as good then I may just unsubscribe. But anyways on to the bag.

THE PINK BUBBLE MAILER

The cutest bag ever! The theme for this months bag was On The Wild Side.

First item in the bag was a full size NYX Cream Blush. The color I received is in the color Rose Petal number CB01. It is a mauve pinky/rose color with the slightest orange under tone. I already have many colors that look like this so my sister-in-law and I will be swapping as she received the color Orange in her bag. It is a color that I do not own so I was excited she was willing to trade and I can not wait to get my hands on it and try the color out!

Item number two that I found in my bag was the J.Cat Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue. These are in the number EL600. On the packaging it states that the lashes are 100% human hair and the glue that is included are latex free. Thumbs up to that because I find any glue with latex it doesn't ever hold my false lashes that long.

Next up is the J.Cat Sparkling Creme Palette in the color SCP106 Volta. I don't wear dark shadows that much so my sister-in-law and I have decided to swap palettes. She likes to wear dark shadows while I like to wear neutral shades so it was great we got the two different color palettes.

Last two items are the Starlooks lip liner in the color K337 Tipsy. This was the most common color for the lip liners but I'm glad I received this one as it is a neutral pinky every day color. Pictured below the lip liner is the Chella Ivor Lace Highlighter.  Honestly I'm not really excited about this as I can just use a shadow to take the place of this pencil. Both of these pencils do not twist up so they will need to be sharpened for those of you who are curious about them.

That is all I received in this month Ipsy bag. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will be back with a tutorial really soon. See you next time!
