Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation

Everyone loves natural beauty products. I bought the Amazonian clay full coverage airbrush foundation recently, and I cant wait to share my using experience with you.
Tarte is a cosmetic brand that promises all of their products are made without parabens, mineral oil, phthaletes, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate and gluten. I was attracted by the brand because of the cute wood package. Almost all of their products are covered in a cute little wood package with purple color.
This is how the power looks like. My skin is combination. Sometimes the T zone is too dry, I could not even apply any power on my face, so I usually use liqueur foundation. But I hate the feeling when apply foundation on my face. This is the first power that perfectly matches with my skin. The product stays on my face all day.

This is the package of the power. I love the image on the cover. It reminds me of the summer leaf.


I also bought the bamboo brush.


The power is very great coverage and long-lasting. It is very light. My skin feels burning when apply power in summer. This foundation just feels comfortable.


Summary:
light, natural, long-lasting powder foundation 
the only shortage is that the power flies everywhere when you open it

Shu Uemura Laque Supreme Or.01

Hi, today I'm going to share my review and swatch for Shu Uemura Laque Surpreme Or 01. This is the newest product of Shu Uemura launched last month. Many of the shades are now out of stock. The designers got their inspiration from Japanese lacquerware. They hope the lip gloss can produce a shade that looks as beautiful and shiny as Japanese lacquerware which I would say they really make it. According to the official website of Shue Uemura, they use special formula for this product which is called "Shu red complex" that can provide deep color intensity. This product reminds me of the Glossy Stain of YSL. It produces a texture on your lip to keep the gloss long-lasting and shiny. 
I bought Or 01. It is a beautiful orange. The official website of Shu Uemura stated the color of Or.01 "sunshine orange". One thing I found about this product line is it looks so different when you wear different amount of the lip gloss. It is a vet light, not sticky at all gloss that satisfies my request for long-lasting and pigmented. The color can keep 4-6 hours which is really long. The texture it produces will also help moisture your lips. The only shortage is the taste of the product is so horrible and the smell is not pleasurable.
This is my swatch. I wear a very little amount on my lip because it looks more natural. If you love red lips, wear more!

Summary:
A long lasting, shiny, very pigmented lip gloss

Dior Rouge Baume No.558 Lili

In this post, I'm going to share my swatch of Dior Rouge Baume shade 558 Lili. I bought it one month ago. The Rouge Baume is the new product line of Dior cosmetics despite the news that the brand is going to launch a new lip gloss product line.
The Rouge Baume keeps the beautiful fashionable dark blue package. The official description of this product is "a lip balm with couture color", which tells the audiences that if you are looking for a pigmented lipstick, it might disappoint you. Here I would say I don't think pigmenting is a problem for this product. Comparing to the Coco shine of Chanel, Rouge Baume has done what it could do. However, I really want to point out a shortage of this product line. For some reason, the lipstick itself does not perfectly match with the tube. It is possible to break in the tube if you push it too hard. I used to have a 488 prime rose. The poor lipstick broke itself because it starts turning around in the tube and I found it broken last month. Treating it well! This is a princess! But I would say that it is a really nourishing lipstick. My lips get mostured and smoothed. If you are looking for a comfortable, pleasurable and normal-usage lipstick, Rouge Baume will satisfy you.
The 558 is a beautiful coral color on my lip. It lasts on my lip about 1-2 hours which is short, but regarding to the beautiful color and pleasure butter feeling, I recommend this lipstick to you.
Summary:
A very natural shade with butter feeling that moisture your lips. 
Short-lasting
Good pigmenting as a lip balm

This is my swatch for 558 Lili

The argan nut is filled with vitamin E and antioxidants leaving hair soft and shiny while protecting it from the sun. Locals have used the ingredient for centuries.

M.A.C Cosmetic lipstick Vegas Volt Review

M.A.C cosmetic is well-known for their professional makeup products. I bought a tones of lipsticks from the brand because the colors of the shades are always beautiful and attractive.
I bought this Vegas Volt long time ago. It is a beautiful coral color that fits very well with the spring. M.A.C divides lipsticks by their finish. Lipsticks are divided into 9 different categories, they are amplified, amplified creme, cremesheen, frost, glaze, lustre, matte, retro matte and satin.
Vegas Volt belongs to the amplified creme category. It is very creamy feels like butter when I tried it on my hand. The product is very pigmented, so be careful do not wear too much if you want yourself look casual. The only problem I found is it is a bit dry for me. It actually makes my lip lines seem deeper if I do not use lip balm. The product lasts very long, about 4-6 hours. I found it still on my lips even after dinner.
This is my swatch for Vegas Volt both on hand an on my lips.

Summary:

M.A.C Cosmetic Lipstick- shade: Vegas Volt $19.50
Very pigmented lipstick with beautiful color, dry, long-lasting

Say hello to whiter teeth!

Many people spend large amounts of money buying teeth whitening strips and whitening toothpaste, or even get it done professionally. But sometimes the best methods can be done in the comfort of your home!

 First combine 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide(3%)* with 3 teaspoons of baking soda. Mix together until a paste forms. Place mixture onto toothbrush and proceed to brushing your teeth in small circles. Do this until teeth are covered then let the mixture sit on your teeth for 2 minutes.

 Next wash your mouth thoroughly with water and brush your teeth with toothpaste as you normally would. This is to ensure you get rid of any remaining hydrogen peroxide mixture.






 Doing this once a week can maintain results and give you a brighter smile!



 *Using 3% hydrogen peroxide has been acknowledge as a safe practice by the American Dental Association.*

Swatch and Review of YSL Rouge Pur Couture No.52

The YSL Rouge Pur Couture is the classic lip product line of the brand. In this blog, I will share my review of the No.52 shade Rosy Coral with you.
The shade used to be out of stock globally. I could not buy it until last year. Comparing the product line with other product lines, Rouge Pur Couture is drier but more pigmented. I find if you use primer or lip balm before you wear it, it will not dry your lips. The lipstick produces a smell like roses which please me a lot. Usually I do not like pigmented lipsticks because they are dry, but this product line does contain many beautiful shades that I cannot say "no" to them.
The No.52 is a bright pink color as the lipstick looks like. The product line is very pigmented. It is the the same color as the lipstick appears. It usually lasts more than 5 hours which is very long lasting. If you have one, remember to use lip product remover to remove it. I have very deep lip lines. The product fills into my lip lines which sometimes make it seem ugly. If you are having the same trouble with me, try to do exfoliation weekly and wear lip balms everyday before sleep.



Summary:
Product: Yves Saint Laurent-Rouge Pur Couture No.52 Rosy Coral
Link: Yves Saint Laurent No.52 Amazon
Overall: very pigmented, long-lasting lip product
