Tarte Make Believe In Yourself Eye & Cheek Palette

I’ve been wanting one of the Tarte round shadow palette for more than a year. The round shape really appeals to me.

Contouring and now, strobing (basically, an emphasis on highlighting) is all the rage. To be honest, it’s not something that I do on a regular basis.

Because I like creams, I bought… Continue reading Friday Find: em Cosmetics Chiaroscuro Contour and Highlighter Stick
