Tarte Kiss and Belle swatches

Thanks for the swatches, and OMG you look sooooo pretty in your new avatar!!

 
I was going to buy the Benefit 3 Scoops of Sexy for my sons' teachers, one is 24 and super cute and the other one the kids described as Elsa. I opened up my Posie Balm sample but I did not like it. Does Bene Balm show on darker skin tones? Is it me just being spoiled by the Fresh balms? I may go back to my original plan of Godiva hot chocolate mug gift set for them.
Oh how I miss teaching the little ones sometimes!  I haven't had a gift in years!  But I do get some very awesome cards every year!  Those teachers will be so appreciative!

I purchased the Pretty Parfait kit at Ulta b/c I needed to spend $35 after returning some items that had a GWP.  I wanted another Gimme Brow and lucky for me it was in there!!  I can always use the Porefessional (I should pretty much slather it on my entire face 24/7) and I'm excited to try the Stay Don't Stray.  Win win win!

 
Ooh, thank you, these look amazing and such cute pictures!! Do you like them? I'm strongly leaning towards going to Ulta tomorrow and buying this set.
Tarte lipsurgence is a weakness for me. I own tons and then they come out with a set and I buy more. They're super easy to use, you don't need a mirror.

@@SaraP (Hugs) you always know what to say when things are going crappy. Thanks sweetie.

 
Unfortunately it' still giving me problems. Its the weak spot of the set for me, very dry and a bit streaky.

 
@@Kookymama Good point about the color.

I find the drugstore ones are drier (might be more waxy not dry, I'm sick thoughts aren't coming clearly) and have less color or are sheer. If you are sensitive to peppermint,  the lipsurgences all have that flavor.

Yep, I already have a bunch of them, I had almost talked myself out of this set for that reason. But the colors just look too pretty!

Guess I'll wait till tomorrow and see what the beauty break is, though.

 
If it weren't for the fact that the Naked Vault has all those blushes I would have bought it already. It keeps taunting me today, showing up all over the place! I actually don't own anything from the set making it more tempting.

I have two brand new Lancome blush palettes sitting in my makeup storage. I only ever use my Lancome Mocha Havana single and Nars Dolce Vita. I reach for my Radiant Orchid blush palette when I want to switch it up.

 
Okay, I KNOW someone already talked about this, but I am so exited I wanted to mention again - SiJCP has probably the best Holiday Favorites set that Sephora is offering exclusively. It's the Makeup Must-Haves and ohmygosh. It comes with a full size NARS Orgasm blush, full size UD Sin eyeshadow, full size Stila Stay All Day eyeliner in Intense Black and deluxe samples of Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream in Light, Benefit They're Real Mascara and BITE Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick in Palomino.

It's $39 dollars. I mean... my jaw dropped when I saw the NARS was full sized. At that price I had fully expected a deluxe sample (and it's hard to know what .16oz will translate to, since what sounds like a lot sometimes...isn't). I wanted the Sin shadow, and the NARS and with those two alone this set is worth the money, every thing else is just a bonus. If you can get to a SiJCP and are so inclined, I 100% recommend this set. :smilehappyyes:
