Tartelette Tease Palette - Review, Swatches, and Looks

My Tarte epiphany happened a few months ago when I tried their 'Maneater' palette (review HERE).  I had used a fair amount of their products before (Shape Tape, Sephora birthday gift, and so on) and been quite happy with them, not only because of the result, but because their products are made with naturally-derived ingredients (which meant that my skin probably wouldn't freak out in allergic reactions upon use).

But after I tried the Maneater palette, I was completely and utterly sold.

Another liquid lipstick to add to the test pile.  NYX came out with their Lip Lingirie line a little while ago, so I grabbed 'Embellishment' during a trip to Ulta.  Since then it's been sitting in my lipstick storage, whispering "Play with me, Shawna".

Whatever you say, makeup.....
