REVIEW | Palladio's Rice Paper Blotting Sheets and Oil Absorbing Rice Powder ♥

So as many of you know, I have a combination skin type with an oily T-zone but normal cheeks. I prefer using blotting papers for touch ups instead of powder. This will help prevent the infamous cake face since I need to get rid of the shine a couple times a day. I usually blot my face 2 or 3 times a day, depending on how hot or active I am that day but with this paper, I'm good with just one blot! Lately, I've been using Palladio's Rice Paper Oil-Absorbing Blotting Tissues with Rice Powder. This is truly amazing!

RE-DISCOVERY| Tarte Eye Couture Day-to-Night Eye Palette

So today's post is all about Tarte's Eye Couture Day-to-Night Eye Palette**! It first debuted during the holidays a couple of years ago. The palette contains 10 eyeshadows. It is beautifully packaged in Tarte's signature purple. The packaging resembles a quilted clutch with a lock and a key charms on the snap button closure. It doesn't stand up by itself, as can be seen in the next picture (I hold up the mirror with my hand) but it is travel-friendly. None of the eyeshadows have fallen out or cracked. It has a large mirror (5.5 in by 2.5 in) and includes a dual-ended easy crease eyeshadow brush and all-over eyeshadow brush, a dual-ended bronze eyeliner and charcoal eyeliner (not pictured), and four step by step instructions for different day and night looks.

REVIEW| Lioele's L'Cret Miracle Magic Lip Stick SPF 14

So as you all may have noticed, I'm a huge lip junkie and love trying out the latest lip products! Today, I have the Lioele L'Cret Miracle Magic Lip Stick SPF 14. They claim to be a 7 in 1 product, lip balm, lip color, lip tint, lip stick, lip treatment, Lip UV protection--and I find that to be true to s certain extent. It is pH changing makeup, which means that the color will adjust to your warmth to create a unique color. This lip stick is supposed to moisturize for a full 12 hours and last through dinner, tea, and much more!
