Tarte Clay Stick Foundation in 'Fair Neutral' - Review, Comparison Swatches, Before & After

Recently Tarte released their version of a stick foundation.

It comes in 12 shades, and has a big selection for the lighter shades, which was music to my ears, seeing how it's not uncommon for a brand's lightest shade to still be a bad shade match for me.

Dermablend Leg and Body Makeup in 'Fair Ivory' - Review, swatches, Before & After

Besides a good colour match, the number 1 thing I look for in a foundation is coverage.  So when I heard about how Dermablend's priority is achieving good coverage, the heavens sang.

While I have yet to try the face foundation, I did try the Leg and Body Makeup.

Conair Infiniti Pro Spin Brush - Review, Before & After

I have always been that person who has a drawer full of hair tools, but it's actually pretty rare that I style my hair.  It's usually because of how long it takes.  And isn't it just easier to pop it up in a high bun, when I'm having a bad hair day (which is like four out of seven days of the week)?

So when I saw this rotating dryer brush I was hoping that it would make all my hair dreams come true - salon-like style, in less than 20 minutes.

Estée Lauder Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Serum Makeup in '1C1 Cool Bone' - Review, Swatches, Before & After

Little known fact:  Estée Lauder was one of my first foundation loves, with their 'Double Wear Stay-in-Place' foundation.  Until then, I truly had no idea that foundation could actually make your face look like one consistent colour.

My makeup knowledge may have grown since then, but my love for Estée Lauder remains.  Today I'm testing out the Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Serum Makeup.

BlinkBrowBar Eyebrow Pencil, Nourishing Brow Oil, Brow Corrector - Review, Swatches, Before & After

I am constantly on the hunt for the next best brow product.  I'm super picky when it comes to my brows because I'm a bottle blonde, with ashy-toned dark-ish brows, and am always trying to find products that will fill in the sparse areas, but not make my brows look orange/clash with my blonde hair.

I was recently introduced to BlinkBrowBar, which is a walk-in brow bar with 25 locations in the UK, and 1 location in Saks Fifth Avenue NYC.  I have a few products from the brand to share with you today.

Essence Pure Nude Make-Up Foundation - Review, Swatches, Before & After

As you may know, Essence has released a whole bunch of new products for this upcoming spring/summer season (Check out the launch HERE).  I usually turn to Essence for smaller products, like lip liners and nail polishes, but they are stepping it up, and adding foundation into the mix.
