Temptalia: How do you organize your cheek products?

[How do you organize your cheek products?]( I keep my go-to shades in a drawer in my vanity (which holds a fair amount of stuff but not anywhere near what I have). I cycle through some - so I might bring in highlighters from one brand for a month or so and "retire" a brand in that time. For everything else, I sort by brand > formula. If there's a lot of formula (say MAC blush), then I alphabetize. [NARS Belle de Jour, Bolero, Get Off Velvet Matte Lip Pencils]( NARS Belle de Jour Velvet Matte Lip Pencil ($27.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a light-medium, yellowed peach with warm undertones and a matte finish. It looked a lot chalkier applied to my lips than it did on my arm (which isn't uncommon with this type of color, in my experience). Though the actual texture did not feel dry and did not tug on my lips, it looked painfully dry--the color "split" at my lip lines and emphasized the natural texture of my lips. It had semi-sheer, somewhat buildable coverage that lasted for four hours. It was moderately drying on me.

Of the four shades available in the range, this shade had the most natural of finishes. It could easily be used on its own, layered with any blush or bronzer, or even used to tamp down an over-the-top highlighter without dulling it. The consistency was soft, somewhat dusty and dry to the touch, but it applied well to bare skin and did not look dry on. It had medium, buildable coverage, as described, and lasted for seven [Continue Reading…]( [Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lipstick Now Available]( Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lipstick Smashbox Be Legendary Liquid Lipstick is a liquid lip formula in a mirror-like metallic or fiercely pigmented finish that glides on maxed-out color in a single coat. Smashbox's pro artists maxed out the metallic and vinyl-like shine in each formula with punched-up pigments and four levels of pearls that capture and reflect light from every angle. The result? A magic trick of light that make lips look fuller in any light and every pic.

This was actually one of the less pigmented shades in the range, and this was also the exact same in texture and color as the holiday release (the box was even gold-hued like the holiday edition). It had semi-opaque pigmentation, but the gloss didn't apply evenly so there were some areas that had less visible shimmer. This particular shade also seemed to be chocked full of shimmer/sparkle rather than a more pigmented base [Continue Reading…]( [Survey Says… March 8th, 2017]( Your skin tone/coloring: Must-have hair tool? Must-have skin/skincare tool? Must-have makeup tool (other than brushes)? [Tom Ford Paradise Lust Sheer Cheek Duo]( Tom Ford Paradise Lust Sheer Cheek Duo ($78.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a new, limited edition highlighting and blush duo for summer. According to the brand, the blush “can be applied wet for a soft veil of color” or “dry for a sweeping pop of vibrancy.” Just like last year's duo and this year's Sheer Highlighting Duo, neither shade in the compact is what I'd call sheer or even remotely sheer. Both shades had opaque coverage applied dry, and applying them with a dampened brush just resulted in a more metallic finish with respect to the first shade and a [Continue Reading…]( [NORDSTROM - Shop Beauty Hoilday Gifts]( Best of Temptalia - [Top 10 Products of 2015]( - [Editor's Choice Awards]( - [Readers' Choice Awards]( - [Recommended Products]( 4400 N.
