Tarte Mystery Mixup Discovery Set

Tarte Tuesday! (Spoilers ahead!)

The Mystery Mixup Discovery Set from Tarte Cosmetics is a mystery 6 piece set that includes 3 full size products that equals to the value of $130 for only $54. The value of the palette almost covers the cost of mystery bag. I took a chance having purchased other mystery bags from Tarte before.

𝔽𝕦𝕝𝕝 𝕊𝕚𝕫𝕖
Clay Play Eye & Cheek Palette Vol. 2 $45
Color Splash Lipstick in the shade Colada $21
Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara $23
Remix Bag $10 / On Sale for $1 Today

𝕊𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖
Travel-Size Maneater Liquid Liner $12
Travel-Size Rainforest of the Sea Drink of H₂O Hydrating Boost $14

Total is added up to $125 with the Remix bag only being $10 so not exactly $130 as stated. The Makeup Bag is based on the Pro Remix Palette design, so I would have loved to see that in this mystery bundle. This bag is only worth a $1 right now on their site as of 12/17/19. I couldn’t find it by simply searching on their website so that’s a bit odd, but the link is provided below.

Is it worth it? Ehhhh It’s very basic set with neutral colors and the classics like their mascara and eyeliner sample. I’ve seen this before with Tarte’s mystery bags so I’m not too surprised. I think it’s a great deal if you want this palette or to build your collection. I don't have this in my collection so I don't mind too much.

It’s still available and I personally think it would make a great gift for the holidays for any Tarte/makeup newbies. Find it here https://bit.ly/38N26vN

Tarte Mystery Mixup Discovery Set

Bye Bye Blemishes | Erno Laszlo

Bye Bye Blemishes! This set has been my go-to summer night routine and still is as we head into the fall. I’ve struggled with acne my entire life, even into my thirties, so making the choice to select this starter kit from Erno Laszlo has been a perfect fit. I wanted to give Jessica from the Laszlo team a big thank you for reaching out and inviting me to be a part of the “Laszlo Icons.”

This is not my first experience with the brand as I had tried and fallen in love with their Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar, which is a powerful cleansing bar that instantly refreshes and balances your skin’s oil with 26 minerals. A definite must in anyone’s routine! 

Now back to the kit. What’s inside?
Exfoliate & Detox Pore Cleansing Clay Mask
Exfoliate & Detox Light Controlling Lotion (Toner)
Exfoliate & Detox Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse
Hydrate & Nourish Phelityl Night Cream

Plus other little goodies like an adorable scrunchie, stickers and Marilyn Monroe’s skincare ritual. It's evident that Erno Laszlo has been around for quite some time helping such icons as Monroe, Greta Garbo and even Audrey Hepburn.

To start I used the Exfoliate & Detox Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse which includes a formula of super fruits like pineapple, Jujube and kiwi that help clarify and smooth skin. This cleanser reminds me of the Sea Mud Bar, but with an easier application and a nice lather.

I followed this with the Exfoliate & Detox Cleansing Clay Mask, a mineral enriched, pink hued, creamy mask that was easy to spread and set comfortably on the face for the 15 minutes. It is a relatively lightweight mask that works hard to remove impurities but leaves your face soft and hydrated from the rosewater. I love masking so I was happy to see this included in the kit!

Next, I applied the Exfoliate & Detox Light Controlling Lotion, which is a toner that removes surface oils and heals skin with anti-inflammatory botanicals that support natural tissue repair. Even though it contains Alcohol Denat. it did not strip my skin of hydration, but I have oily skin so maybe it could be harsh for sensitive skin.

Lastly, and of my favorites of the set, is the Hydrate & Nourish Phelityl Night Cream. This one is a lightweight formula that soaks right into the skin without any greasy feeling and works hard to match one’s skin pH and restores naturally found fatty acids for a glowing complexion. It can also be applied to the neck and decollete area for an encompassing nightly moisturizer.

I’m honestly upset that I love these so, because each product is quite pricey for my teacher’s budget, but definitely worth the investment for my skin. After a month of use and the stresses of daily life and the process of moving I found this ritual to combat stress acne successfully. Overall, if you can indulge, I would suggest you try Erno Laszlo out even if it’s just the Sea Mud Bar. These are exceptional skincare products that work strikingly well!

Thank you Erno Laszlo for this experience and I’m happy to be an honorary #LaszloIcon

Bye Bye Blemishes | Erno Laszlo

Elizavecca Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Memory Cream

One of my favorite brands, Elizavecca, is back again with Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Memory Cream! This pretty light-blue cream takes its name from the fact that the formula has shape memory, meaning no matter how it’s been stirred or mixed up, it returns to its original form over time.

It contains a potent combination of naturally occurring and moisture-boosting Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, and Adenosine. The Allantoin and Adenosine in particular provide powerful anti-aging properties by helping to hydrate, smooth wrinkles, soothe, heal, and protect the skin from ultraviolet light.

As usual, it all comes in Elizavecca’s uniquely adorable packaging with a cute tiny spatula!

Just to observe the “memory” part of this cream, I started out by giving it a good stir until it was uneven and clumpy in the container. Right before my eyes, it began to smooth out and recombine until it was like I’d never touched it. The bouncy, jelly-like cream is actually fun to play around with in the container and is actually a nice sensory experience.

To apply it, I removed it in a gel-like clump from the container using the nifty spatula, which had an instant cooling sensation that melted away with the heat of my skin as it turned into a moist, clear liquid. Once fully applied to my face, I also noticed a very faint floral scent that’s pleasant, but not overwhelming or off-putting at all.  It absorbed rather quickly, but didn’t completely sink in, so my face felt soft and hydrated.

Going in, I expected it to be a heavy cream and problematic for my oily skin, but I have yet to experience any clogging or other adverse reactions. Based on my results, I think this is a great moisturizer for people with either dry or combination skin.

It’s also worth noting that alongside the very gentle main ingredients, this product is completely paraben, sulfate, alcohol, and allergen free. Just a small dab is enough to get total coverage, so it’ll be a while before I need more, but I’ll certainly be turning to Elizavecca Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Memory Cream again in the future.

Elizavecca Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Memory Cream

L'aturajeu Cactus Daily Facial Cream

L'aturajeu Cactus Daily Facial Cream is the latest part of the growing cactus extract trend in beauty products I’ve had the pleasure to try out. This great ingredient is a perfect fit for a facial cream, since cacti naturally have to retain huge amounts of water to survive, which means excellent moisturizing properties.

Not only does this cream help pack in moisture during your daily routine, it’s able to hang onto it throughout the entire day thanks to the included hyaluronic acid and shea butter. Furthermore, cactus extract contains roughly eight times as much Vitamin C as Aloe Vera, an antioxidant that adds tremendous anti-aging benefits.

Giving this a try for the first time, I immediately noticed that it settles nicely onto the skin without any greasy feeling, which is perfect for applying makeup afterwards. There’s also a nice, soft floral scent I caught during application that is just right for anyone sensitive to perfume-y aromas.

I can also attest to the claim that it works with any skin type, dry or oily, since I have oily combination skin and it still worked out wonderfully to provide my face some much-needed nourishment. As for the longevity, my skin still felt soft and supple even after a long, hectic day of teaching preschool!

The cream is also extremely gentle and safe for use since it’s free of any steroids, parabens, or phthalates. It comes in a really simple, yet sleek tube, which leads to my only minor complaint. In the right light, I could see that the packaging was only about half full of cream, which seems a bit wasteful.

All that said, L'aturajeu has definitely found a winning combination of ingredients for this facial cream, and I’d highly recommend it to anybody looking for an effective daily moisturizer. It’s available now at Amazon for less than $6, down from $20, so it’s the perfect opportunity to give it a shot!

L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Water Mousse

I have ghostly white skin, which in fact I cherish, so I avoid ever going out in the sun without my skin drenched in sunscreen. When it comes to tanning, I have never used a tanning bed nor have the desire to fry my skin in the sun. That said, I have occasionally dipped my toe into using self-tanning products and so I was intrigued to try out L'Oréal's new Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Water Mousse.

I may be a novice when it comes to self-tanning products, but I think my biggest fears were staining anything I touched (clothes, beds, couches, etc.) and streaking. It’s interesting that this is a water mousse and in fact looks just like a foamy soap dispenser. The formula itself comes out in a transparent foam similar to soap as well.

It really only takes a couple of pumps to cover large areas and for this review I went all in. I did my entire legs, arms and décolletage area. I even made sure, as directed, to fully exfoliate my skin prior to applying this because I didn’t want any buildup. It’s directed that you wait 4-8 hours after applying before hopping into the shower, that way it has time to set on your skin and not wash away. It does take the full four hours for the color to start changing and it’s very subtle at first.

I didn’t feel any stickiness and only waited 3-5 minutes for it to settle on my skin before I dressed. I absolutely love that I experienced no transfer of the product onto my clothes nor my bed. The soft coconut scent is lovely, but it does stick around for quite a while. I love that it contains vitamin e and coconut that leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

After the color started to appear, I did notice darker spots where it gathered by my wrists and ankles and a few areas where it streaked on the undersides of my wrists and arms. However, the streaking was very minimal and could be due to user error.

I think next time that I commit to using this, it would be with an application mitt and lotion in the darker areas to get more even coverage. The final color was a nice tan shade with a soft glow and not at all too orange. Furthermore, the reason I wouldn't repurchase is simply because L'Oréal is not a cruelty-free brand.
