Tarte For True Blood Palette EOTD

Today I used another one of the palettes I got for my Birthday this year, the Tarte for True Blood Palette. When I originally saw a picture of this in an issue of Cosmopolitan I was so excited!! Then when I saw it on Sephora's site I wasn't that impressed and decided against getting it in favor of the UD Anniversary palette. When my BF & Son took my out shopping for some Birthday gifts I had a chance to swatch it in Sephora I fell hard, lol. I am also a huge True Blood fan so I couldn't pass it up. I do find that with these shadows and the ones in the other palette I have from Tarte, can be really easy to over blend and just look muddy. I did have to go back and reapply some shades to up the intensity. I tried to take a picture of the palette with the plastic overlay that names the shades but the flash cause too much of a glare. I will point out the ones I used by rows. The first row being the top 3 across, the second the 4 across and so on.

I used:

Row 1, shade 1 The Light as my highlight & inner corner

Row 1, shade 3 The Dawn to blend out crease colour

Row 3, shade 1 Charmer in the crease and outer corner

Row 3, shade 2 Glamour Me in the deep crease and outer v

Row 4, Shade 1 Bayou on the lid

Urban Decay Perversion 24/7 Eyeliner on upper lash line

Maybelline The Colossal Mascara on upper lashes

Lust Objects

So here are some of my current lust objects:

KAT VON D TRUE ROMANCE EYESHADOW PALETTE: SINNER

This looks to be the perfect palette for a smokey eye. My go to smokey is almost always purples, as they bring out the green in my hazel eyes. Thankfully there is no cream shadow in this palette. I have 3 other palettes from KVD and the cream shadow either came already dried out or did so shortly afterwards and was completely unusable. KAT VON D TRUE ROMANCE EYESHADOW PALETTE:

SAINT

As much as I love bright colours I am still always drawn to a good neutral palette. This palette appears to be along the same vain as UD's Naked, Too Faced Natural or Naked Eye Palettes. I do own all of those, but still want this one as well, lol.

TOO FACED MATTE EYESHADOW COLLECTION

I swatched this palette last week at Sephora and the colours are lovely and not at all chalky like mattes can sometimes be. I ended up getting the Smokey Eye palette instead, but since I do collect these I am sure this will be mine sooner then later.

FALL

For several reasons I cannot wait for fall. Dark nail polish, makeup that doesn't smear off your face in the heat, country fairs, Halloween & darker lip colours. I think fall is the most beautiful season and sadly probably the shortest. We've been having a very hot summer so far and I ain't a fan of that kind of heat. So bring on the fall.

RYAN KWANTEN

Last but definitely not least, HELLO SEXY!! This man is so beautiful. I am a huge True Blood fan and can't wait to feast my eyes on the gorgeous men on the show, especially Ryan. Too bad he doesn't talk with his Aussie accent on the show.
