Temptalia: Are you ever overwhelmed by new beauty product releases? + more

[Are you ever overwhelmed by new beauty product releases?]( I get overwhelmed during the holiday season because palettes and kits take a lot longer to review (more photos, more swatches, more to test) that it can be hard to prioritize and get everything done! [Coloured Raine Date Night & Passion Eyeshadows]( Coloured Raine Date Night Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.064 oz.) is a dark plum with warm, brown undertones and a pearly sheen. It had rich, opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges. The texture was smooth, not too firm or too soft in the pan, but didn't feel as dense or as cream-like as some of the brand's other eyeshadows (not a bad thing, just something I noticed). This shade started to fade on me after eight and a half hours of wear. P.S. -- Coloured Raine doesn't [Continue Reading…]( [Anastasia Peachy Love Blush Trio]( Anastasia Peachy Love 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 leaned more toward the semi-opaque to opaque side of pigmentation, so if you are someone that prefers sheer, buildable application, then this might not be a favorite. I think the thinner texture of Anastasia's formula, overall, does make it easier to use a light hand and get lighter application, [Continue Reading…]( [Chanel Talpa, Noir Satin, Desert Rouge Ombre Premiere Longwear Powder Eyeshadows]( Chanel Talpa (14) Ombre Premiere Longwear Powder Eyeshadow ($30.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a light-medium, golden brown with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The consistency was finely-milled, soft, and lightly dusty in the pan, but it adhered well to bare skin when patted on. I had no trouble diffusing and blending out the edges. It had great pigmentation that lasted for seven hours on me. The formula is described as a "richly-pigmented" and "longwearing." There are 16 shades available, and I've tried eight of them and have found that most are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage with soft, blendable [Continue Reading…]( [Temptalia’s Monthly Favorites | May 2017]( Hope you had a beautiful May! I try to update my Favorites on a monthly basis but often let that get away from me. I'm going to try posting them as an actual post to see if that helps me stay on track better :) My monthly favorites include a mix of products I really enjoyed testing during the month along with any old favorites that I might have reached for. [Survey Says… May 31st, 2017]( Your skin tone/coloring: Favorite product this month? Most used face/cheek product this month? Most used eye product this month? [MAC Coral Optix, Forbidden Romance, Love’s a Gamble Lipsticks]( MAC Coral Optix Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, medium red with strong, warm orange undertones and pink, gold, and copper shimmer that give it a more metallic finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly across the lips and never tugged during application. The consistency was smooth, lightweight, and dense enough not to feel gritty (with all of the shimmer/sparkle). It wore well for five hours, left a faint stain behind, and was lightly hydrating. This shade, along with six other new shades, will launch on June 22nd online and in stores/at counters. MAC Forbidden Romance [Continue Reading…]( [BH Cosmetics Club Tropicana Foil Eyeshadow Palette for Summer 2017]( BH Cosmetics Club Tropicana Foil Eyeshadow Palette for Summer 2017 This summer, dare to be bold with the NEW limited-edition Club Tropicana Palette.
