Temptalia: The Day in Beauty | May 27, 2017

[Nordstrom: Buy 2, Get 1 Free Mascara Madness (May 2017)]( Nordstrom is holding their Mascara Madness event tomorrow (May 27th) in-store and online. You pick three mascaras, and then one (the lowest-priced) will be free; you can mix and match between brands. What are your favorite high-end mascaras? [What was the last fragrance you wore?]( Elizabeth & James Nirvana Black! [Chanel Ombre Premiere Longwear Powder Eyeshadows (x5)]( Chanel Bronze Antique (32) Ombre Premiere Longwear Powder Eyeshadow ($30.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a muted, medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. The consistency was smooth, soft, and blendable but was somewhat dusty in the pan and prone to sheering out a bit on the lid. There were also a few larger sparkles that seemed to spread away from the color itself and resulted in a bit of fallout. It had opaque pigmentation, though, and applied evenly to bare skin. This shade lasted for seven hours on me before fading noticeably. The formula is described as [Continue Reading…]( [Anastasia Pool Party Blush Trio]( Anastasia Pool Party Blush Trio ($30.00 for 0.33 oz.) includes three coordinated blushes in medium-sized compact. The blush formula is supposed to be "finely-milled" and "full-pigmented" for "buildable intensity with a seamless finish." Based on my interpretation, it seemed to say that it was buildable up to full coverage. This trio was a mixed bag of decent to good with variability in pigmentation (two were buildable, one was pretty pigmented), one was harder to blend out, and one that applied beautifully. There are five trios available. They are presently available through Anastasia directly and will be available online at other [Continue Reading…]( [Jouer Skinny Dip Powder Highlighter]( Jouer Skinny Dip Powder Highlighter ($24.00 for 0.16 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy copper with warm undertones and fine pink, gold, and copper pearl. It had a high-shine finish that was very reflective on the skin and was just shy of pore-emphasizing territory. The consistency was incredibly smooth--almost cream-like as it was denser, creamy, forgiving, and blendable but never kicked up excess powder in the pan. The highlighter wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading. [Week in Review | May 20th through May 26th]( Happy Saturday! I always enjoy seeing what makes up the week's top ten highest-reviewed products, so I hope you find it somewhat interesting as well! :) Â What was your week in review like? My skin tone/coloring: Most loved product of the week: Most used product of the week: Any new beauty discoveries?: Week in Review [Chanel Terre Brulee & Undertone Ombre Premiere Longwear Cream Eyeshadow]( Chanel Terre Brulee (806) Ombre Premiere Longwear Cream Eyeshadow ($36.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark coppery brown with warm, yellow undertones and a golden shimmer with a subtle touch of gold sparkle. It had good pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to opaque coverage with just a touch more product patted on top, while it was also blendable to semi-sheer coverage if desired. The texture was smooth, thin, creamy without being too slippery, and seemed to take a bit longer to dry down than other shades in the line-up. The latter made it easier to diffuse [Continue Reading…]( [Round-up: Milani Strobelight Instant Glow Powders]( Milani Strobelight Instant Glow Powder Milani Afterglow Strobelight Instant Glow Powder ($10.00 for 0.30 oz.) is powder highlighter that's supposed to have a "radiant finish" and is available in seven shades. The consistency was similar to a lot of other "gelee" highlighters: smooth, soft but more firmly pressed (where there was no powderiness but was still pigmented) with semi-opaque to opaque coverage and a frosted to a metallic finish. Some shades emphasized my skin's natural texture slightly when worn heavily. This formula will be most suitable for someone who likes an intense, more metallic highlighter and warmer-toned shades.
