Tarte Christmas Haul!

I did a little holiday shopping for myself this year. I decided to pick up 2 items because they were both on sale! After swatching both I instantly fell in love! The first is a holiday palette from Tarte in Park Ave Princess, and the other product is Amused blush from Tarte. 

I really like each item for different reasons. The park ave princess palette has AMAZING products in it and I can already tell it's going to be used in my everyday routine. The colors are beautiful and are  perfect colors for my skin tone. On the other hand the tarte blush in amused is extremely pigmented and gorge at the same time. I see myself wearing this blush more so in the spring and summer.

2,000 Subscriber & Holiday Giveaway!!!

First off, THANK YOU for 2,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel!! You guys are amazing!

I went to Sephora and bought a gift for this giveaway to show my thanks for helping me reach 2,000 subscribers :) I have included swatches below of the product I purchased for you but these are swatches of a product I already own which is the same as what I bought for the giveaway. I did not in any way touch the makeup I am giving away. I bought a holiday palette from Too Faced called Beauty Wishes and Sweet Kisses. This palette has 3 eyeshadows from the Chocolate Bar palette and the Chocolate Soleil bronzer in it, both of which I already own so that is how I was able to show you these swatches :) The palette also includes the Snow Bunny Bronzer (which I haven't tried but have heard great things about), and a lipgloss coming out Spring 2015 that is called Naked Dolly. From the looks of it I will definitely be buying the lip gloss in this palette when it comes out next year because it looks sooo pretty!! Anyways now that I've got all that out of the way, let's get into some swatches of the eyeshadows and bronzer!
