Cargo Cosmetics BeachBlush - Cable Beach
















The product has the benefits of a blush and bronzer in one container. The four complementary colors has a soft deep plum bronze. It has subtle hints of shimmer to add a radiant warmth to your cheeks. The four stripes can be blended together or used solo. I love how the bronzer leaves a nice sunkissed look but without spending hours in the sun.

Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes - Matte Black 0L







The creamy eyeliner is an intense burst of long-lasting color. The eyeliner glides on easily and doesn't smudge and fade throughout the day. The waterproof eyeliner was originally created for the Parisian Aquatic Ballet and was tested under water for five hours. The eyeliner goes on smooth and lasted awhile for me. I love how creamy and easy was to apply. However, I found the black to be a bit duller compared to other eyeliners.

House of Harlow 1960 Saint James Tumbler Candle













When I saw this gorgeous white and gold tumbler candle by House of Harlow 1960, I knew I had to get it. The candle had notes of white, black and pink peppercorns with notes of Carnation Absolute. The 7.4oz candle had a sweet sophisticated scent that pulls you in and keeps you entranced.  The candles each last for 45 hours but unfortunately, the scent is very weak. I lit one after cleaning to refresh my kitchen but I couldn't smell it even after 4 hours  unless I wentthiscloseto the candle. On the plus side, the package is gorgeous and the tumbler can be reused.

Global Goddess i-Divine Eyecolor - Darjeeling











The highly pigmented eyeshadow is infused with white tea extracts to firm the areas around the eyes. The long lasting eyeshadow promises to have a silky application and to be crease proof. However, I found it to be the exact opposite. The formula didn't last very long even with a primer and it creased like crazy. Silky application? Hardly, felt like chalk on my fingertips. The brown color looks lovely in the package but was rather tawny and had a dull coffee color.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - Thankful









I got this limited edition blush when I purchased the Tarte Thoughtful Treasures Set Holiday set.  The blush is a bright golden apricot pink. It has a satiny finish and doesn't have much glitter or gloss.  This blush is high pigmented and a little goes a long way. While, this is particularly favorite color (I tend to like really bright reds), it does give my cheeks a nice healthy glow.

Julep Oxygen Nail Treatment














The oxygen nail treatment promises to complete nail care and make-up (Who knew!?) in one bottle. The treatment is composed of Hexanal that promises stronger, thicker, and smoother nails after one application. I applied a couple of coats once a week. The sheer pink treatment went on a bit thicky and uneven. It took a bit also to dry but it gave nice French tip look. Overall, my nails did look better but by very much. I was mostly a fan of the sheer pink color.
