Temptalia: The Day in Beauty | May 30, 2017

[Do you have higher expectations when a product is more expensive?]( I wouldn't say higher, more that I expect that they will meet the claims they're making and don't think they have room to justify not meeting those claims. [Coloured Raine Your Treat & Watch Me Werk Focal Point Glowlighters]( Coloured Raine Your Treat Focal Point Glowlighter ($25.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a medium-dark, coppery brown with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, blendable texture that was dense but not difficult to pickup product from with a variety of highlighting brushes (fan, tapered, more blush-like). The powder sat beautifully on the skin and gave a reflective shine that did not emphasize my skin's natural texture. The color wore well for nine hours before fading on me. The Focal Point Glowlighter formula is supposed to be "butter soft" with "high impact luminous glow."

It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly, but there was some noticeable color that sank into my lip lines.

It had [Continue Reading…]( [ColourPop $aucey Pressed Powder Shadow Palette]( ColourPop $aucey Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.21 oz.) is one of two, limited edition palettes from the collaboration with iluvsarahii. I really feel like ColourPop has improved their powder eyeshadow formula from its initial launch, as their mattes are still very blendable and pigmented but seem smoother and less messy/powdery. This palette performed well with the eyeshadows being fairly pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing, and they also coordinated well with each other for a cohesive look. Heavy Glam is a light-medium coral-orange with warm undertones and pink and gold pearl. It had great pigmentation with a soft, lightly creamy [Continue Reading…]( [Top Dupes for CoverFX Halo Custom Enhaner Drops Illuminating]( [Anastasia Cocktail Party Blush Trio]( Anastasia Cocktail 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. Two of the three shades were very pigmented, while the third one was more buildable as described. All three blushes lasted eight and a half hours or longer, and they were fairly blendable on the whole. There are five trios available. They are presently available through Anastasia directly and will be [Continue Reading…]( Â [NORDSTROM - Shop Beauty Hoilday Gifts]( Â Best of Temptalia - [Top 10 Products of 2015]( - [Editor's Choice Awards]( - [Readers' Choice Awards]( - [Recommended Products]( 4400 N.
