Face of the day using Tarte's new "rainforest after dark" palette
Eyes: NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk all over the lid and under the brows, nyx eye shadow base + Mac's paint pot in "Painterly", rainforest after dark palette (lid: up to no gold, crease: plum away with me, to blend: make a mauve, inner corner: champagne+ bare to explore), covergirl's liquid liner in black, loreal voluminous waterproof mascara, Loreal's Voluminous Miss Manga mascara for the lower lashes, Tarina Tarantino under eye brightener
Face: Benefit's pore professional balm, Covergirl's Ready Set Gorgeous liquid foundation in natural beige (205)+ Covergirl's Ready Set Gorgeous powder foundation in light/medium, rainforest after dark palette ( bronzer: park ave princess, blush: unleashed, highlight: champagne)
(Mac's fix + over top)
Lips: Covergirl's lip liner in splendid, Bare Minerals lipstick in Bavarian Creme (one of my all time favorite lipsticks), and Urban Decay's lip gloss in "naked"
I have to say that this palette surprised me a bit. I was expecting the colors in this palette to come off a little deeper and easier than they did. I have never owned a Tarte palette before though... so I don't have much to compare it to. I absolutely love the packaging and I think it is perfect for when you are traveling for a quick day time/neutral look. I don't want to say this palette is bad because it does have beautiful colors and I love the way this look came out today but some of the shadows do not come off as easy as I had hoped. Keep that in mind if you are looking to buy it (you just need time to work through the top layer of those shadows). I think next time I am going to try to build up the eye color a little more and go for a more smokey look. I was playing it a little too safe today i think ;)

I was so excited to swatch the Tarte blush in captivating that everyone has been raving about. I have to agree with all the hype, it is a beautiful peach color. It swatches on so smooth, I love it. I was not able to use this today but can't wait to use it in a future look!
drum roll please....... whitening lightning lipglosses! I have been waiting a while to try this out and I am so glad i finally did. I have always preferred lipstick over lip glosses but these bad boys are amazing on the lips. I think because my lips are so big and pigmented, lip glosses never show up the color they were meant to be on me. Both of these colors are beautiful, they are not too sticky and not too soft (they dont't roll around all over your lips), and they cover the lips nicely.

Here are some more swatches so you guys can get a better idea of what they look like on the lips
