Tarte SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof liner collection holiday 2011- Moss

I am officially obsessed! These pictures are from last weekend, I have not been able to post until now! But you have me for a week lovely peeps! (you can hardly contain the joy?)Lets get into this review shall we!

Small re-cap: reviewing each color separately for the Tarte Smoldereyes set. These are creamy, dry fast and stay on until you remove them. They are also oil proof and I take a nap in these everyday. Really easy to apply.

MOSS:

The Color: abso-freakin-lutely- gorgeous! okay, I can't get enough of how flattering this color is! I really have a dislike for blue-based greens and prefer more golden ones!This one is perect for me in like....every way!

Formula: The formula has a sheen to it but no glitter at all, it's just slightly metallic. This pencil in my kit was drier than the others and did not go on as smooth until I sharpened it.

Tips for wearing this liner as a shadow: Okay, so unless you want your lids to feel heavy you have got to blend this out (an up toward that crease) as you go! so dab a little on your lid starting at the inner section o you eye, smudge it immediately with smudger or finger (I prefer finger), move to the next section of the eye, smudge, move to the outer section of the eye and smudge. if you try and put it all on your entire lid at once it's a pain to try and get even. I do not suggest applying this product directly your crease from the pencil, I blend pretty well in that section or put either a crease shade in powder or blend this out with a gold.

Eye: smoldereyes in moss across entire lid, Moss shadow from the true blood palette: outer v and blended out into the crease slightly. Lined eyes in Silver Black liner from this smoldereyes set! In the inner corner is the golden beige color.

I'm in love with these, I just wanted to upload my eye look today using violet as both a shadow and a Liner! My students LOVED this look today. This was a applied at 6 this morning and I just took a two hour nap in this (i sleep like face down on my pillow...)I have not re-applied at all because it still looks the same as when I put it on! *victory dance*

Alright, hopefully you liked Moss! these are still available at Tarte.com!

Thanks for reading!

Tarte SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof liner collection holiday 2011- VIOLET

Sooooo.....
there was a little thing called "save 20% VIB" at Sephora this week so I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase these liners! I know, I know...I told you I was glad I didn't get them after i tried out the Rimmel liners but these are different!
You get 6 full sized liners for 39 bucks in the colors: Golden Beige, Moss, Espresso, Violet, Smoke, and Silver Black!
These liners are totally waterproof and also oil proof too! I decided to swatch these on my hand and sleep on them when I got them and yeah....they looked exactly the same when i woke up! Talk about awesome! These are thick so you can use them as shadow or liner, I'll discuss in my Moss post how to best use them as a shadow!

Here's how this is going to go down, I'm going to do a review and look of each color separately. Today's color is Violet and I used this as a liner.

The color: Violet confuses me! It looks more blue-based in pictures but it shows up more red-based in real life. I'm really confused about the color, but it's GORGEOUS! It's a true purple that has no brown base to it like a plum color. I'm looking at the difference between the color on camera and in real life and it's really different! It's not that blue...This color has micro glitter in it that is only truly apparent when you smudge it..,somehow that makes the glitter come out to play.

The packaging is great! There seems to be a lot of product in these pencils and it really helps that these come with a smudger! You have a 30 second window of playtime before these lockdown and won't budge, so if you want to blend do so fast! These look splotchy i they dry too much and you try and blend them out.

These glide on so creamy and if you tilt them the right way you can go from a thinner line to a thicker one.

These are so creamy!!! I'm in love with this shade!! According to Maureen these have more than 20 pure optic pigments to enhance your eyecolor, I see that more in the moss shade for my eyes personally. Maureen also says these are okay to use on your waterline, however, I would only use the non-glitter shades: Moss, Espresso, and Smoke for inner rim!

Moss is up next for these babies and look out for my review on my November Birchbox AND the Revlon Lipbutters in shades: Creme Brulee, Strawberry Shortcake, and Berry Smoothie!

Apologies for not posting on the reg!
