Product Review -- Tarte Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect highlighter.

Over the years, I've found quite a few that I love, but none that have made it to holy grail status. They're usually just a little too warm or dark for my pale, mostly neutral skin, so I just keep looking.

That's why I was interested in trying the Tarte Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette -- it offers up a couple of highlight shades, so I figured I had a better chance of finding that perfect glow.

Product Review -- Maybelline Face Studio Master Contour

Contour kits are all the rage these days, whether it's palettes that house several contour and highlight shades together or those that feature a contour, blush, and highlight shade.

I'm not super into contouring -- I mean, I'll do it more often than not, but it's extremely subtle because my skin is so fair that it can look seriously harsh if I'm not careful -- but I'm still always interested in trying new contour kits.

Particularly the ones that have started to pop up in drugstores.

The Maybelline Face Studio Master Contour is a kit that contains a contour, blush, and highlight shade. It comes in a black plastic compact with a small brush inside. The brush isn't really suitable for applying the contour or blush shades, in my opinion, but it works well enough for applying the highlighter to the cheekbones.

Product Review -- Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette

I'm always a sucker for a Tarte eyeshadow palette.

(If you're thinking that I'm always saying I'm a sucker for one makeup item or another, you're right. I'm a total sucker for all of it.)

The circular ones in particular always seem to draw me in because the packaging is cool and unique, but in the past, those palettes usually included blush, bronzer, and highlighter as well -- and if I'm honest, I'm not a huge fan of palettes that mix products (mainly because it screws up the organization of my makeup drawers because I don't know whether to include it with the shadow palettes or face palettes).

That's why I was excited to discover that Tarte's new Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette is a round palette that contains nothing but shadows.

Product Review -- Milani Brow & Eye Highlighter

I love taking my time when I put on my makeup because it's one of my favorite things to do.

But let's face it -- sometimes, even those of us who love makeup have to rush through the process.

That's when it helps to have some quick, easy products in your arsenal.

The Milani Brow & Eye Highlighter definitely fits the bill.

These double-ended pencils, which you can sharpen, feature a matte and a shimmer side, which means you can use it in a variety of ways.
