Patrick TA

New Patrick Ta Spring Launches

February 27, 2024

Patrick Ta added new shades of his Double Take Creme and Powder Blush ($38 each) and Major Volume Plumping Lip Glosses ($26 each). They just launched at Sephora and I did a haul of some new shades as they looked really pretty and fresh for spring! I have some hits and a few misses with the new colors.

Double Take Creme and Powder Blush

There are three new shades of the Double Take Creme and Powder Blush. Based on the online descriptions and photos I thought there might be a chance one would not work for my skin tone, but I was interested in trying all three.

For those new to these they have a cream and a powder in each compact. I just learned today that my traditional way of applying cream first then top with powder isn’t the right way to use these blush duos but I still prefer it after trying both methods.

According to Patrick Ta the colors are meant to be applied with the powder first and cream on top for a dewy finish and to seal in the powder color. A lot of the powders in his look really sheer on my bare skin but on top of a powder they really pop! If you own any of his blush duos I’m interested to hear how you apply them.

Just Enough is a baby pink blush duo. This ended up being too light and powdery looking on my skin because of the milky colors. I think it would make a great layering shade like Gucci Beauty True Pink. If you’re lighter or fair in skin tone I think you would really love this one.

She’s the Moment has peachy tangerine tones. This is a really pretty duo I think will be really beautiful for warmer months.

Not Too Much is a mix of neutral rose brown beiges. This is the perfect everyday neutral combo. It pulls a little more pink on my skin but has enough beige/brown tones that it looks more natural. I love this duo.

Major Volume Plumping Lip Glosses

Patrick Ta added new shades of his Major Volume Plumping Lip Glosses in a richer pigment formula. The colors definitely have a lot more pigment in them this round! I am not sure if my lips have become more sensitive or if they changed the formula because the new shades have a bit of sting to the lips. I accidentally put some on my tongue and it felt like it was on fire! The tingle isn’t so painful I have to take it off, it’s just on the stronger side.

Plumping-wise they really do plump up the lips significantly within minutes.

I ordered 3 of the 5 new shades:

Say Less is a milky pink that pulls too pale on my lips, but if I mix it with his sheer red Full Syringe, I can make it work.

Need Her is the perfect everyday rose pink neutral. 100% love.

Obviously is a beautiful toffee brown. I love this color too. I normally cannot pull off browns on the lips but this has the perfect amount of warmth to make it wearable for me. Love this one too.

Four looks below wearing different coordinating lip colors with the blushes.

Dior Highlighters

New Dior Forever Glow Star Filter & Maximizer

February 23, 2024

I have a look at some Dior Beauty newness today that I’ve been loving! Dior launched new liquid highlighters and complexion enhancers called the Forever Glow Star Filter ($55 each) & Glow Maximizer ($45 each). They also added some new shades of the Addict Lip Maximizer ($40) which I have a closer look at today. Available at Dior, Sephora, Nordstrom and all Dior Beauty retailers.

Dior Forever Glow Star Filter

Dior added a multi-use complexion enhancer called the Forever Glow Star Filter. These are similar in concept to the elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter and Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter – you can wear these on bare skin as a primer, mixed with foundation or applied on top of foundation as a subtle highlight. There are 10 shades available in the Dior lineup. I am usually a 2.5 or 3 in their foundation so I ordered Shade 2 and Shade 3 in the Forever Glow Star Filter.

Both have a very smooth glow to them. The shimmer particles are very fine so so I can wear it all over the face without looking like a disco ball. I will say the degree of shimmer on your skin will depend on what color you pick. Shade 2 is lighter than my skin tone and the brightness/contrast makes it look more glowy on my skin while Shade 3 matches better and has a more subtle glow effect since it’s closer to my skin tone.

Formula is on the medium thin side so it does not feel heavy and it blends in and sets nicely. I wouldn’t say it has a matte dry down but at the same time it’s not super emollient. It’s somewhere in the middle – I think it’s perfect.

Below with Shade 3 applied all over the face vs the Glow Star Filter as a base with the Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation and Concealer (both in Shade 2.5) on top.

Dior Shade 2 and 3 compared to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter and elf Halo Glow Liquid Filters.

Overall love the look, feel and lasting power of the Dior one. The undertones, texture and shimmers are different from the other ones on the market but there are enough similarities I don’t think you need all three. I do really like that the Dior comes with a pump vs a sponge applicator. Seems more sanitary to me. The Dior has fragrance in it, but it’s low on the ingredient list and I don’t really notice it. If I were forced to pick 1 out of the 3 I feel like I would be most inclined to pick the elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter. The shimmer is the most natural making it easy to wear all over the face without emphasizing fine lines or texture even on my bad skin days. (elf Halo Glow filter in action on skin here.)

Forever Glow Maximizer

Dior also added six shades of a more intense liquid highlighter called the Forever Glow Maximizer. I picked up three and really like! These are very shimmery with a good amount of pigment. They are easier to blend than the Rare Beauty Liquid Luminizers but I would say pigment level is pretty close.

UPDATE 4/13/2024: Dior now has seven shades. I’ve since added both the Pink, Bronze and Pearly shades to my collection from the Sephora Savings Event along with their newest shade Nude which is a really pretty champagne. Adding swatches below.

Gold is a pretty warm gold shimmer. Peachy is a light peachy champagne. Rosy is a darker pink rose which doubles as a blush for my skin tone. I did find the shades I picked up different from the others in my highlighter stash, but there are some that are pretty close – close enough to be similar on the skin.

Below compared to some other highlighters from elf, Charlotte Tilbury, Laura Mercier and more

Base: Forever Glow Star Filter Shade 3 + Forever Skin Glow Foundation + Concealer 2.5
Powder: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless in Medium

Eyeshadow: Tarte Quick Stick in Rosegold/Brown + Makeup By Mario Master Mattes
Mascara: Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara

New Dior Addict Lip Maximizers

Dior added a few new shades of the Addict Lip Maximizers which seem to be exclusive to Dior.com and I ordered 2 of them. Frosted Pink is a beautiful cool-toned pink shimmer. It’s better than Shimmer Candy (reviewed here) since the shimmer in Frosted Pink is more refined vs straight up frost.

Shimmery Spice is a beautiful peachy copper shimmer with a tiny bit of rose, pink and gold mixed in. I love it. I really love both of them. Both on the lips in action here.

Swatch comparisons below to other Dior gloss shades.

That wraps up my Dior Beauty newness haul review! I really love everything I hauled. I don’t know that I would call the complexion highlighters must haves since there are so many dupes on the market, but I really love the finish, colors and undertones.

I do think the new glosses are must-haves. I think the colors are really beautiful.

Chanel Skincare

New No 1 de Chanel Launches

February 20, 2024

There are new No 1 de Chanel launches this spring including three new shades of the Revitalizing Lip and Cheek Balms ($48 each), a Revitalizing Nourishing Duo ($170) and Revitalizing Mask ($100). Available at Chanel and Ulta Beauty.

Revitalizing Lip and Cheek Balms

Chanel added three new shades of the Revitalizing Lip and Cheek Balms in 07 Vibrant Coral, 08 Ardent Brick and 09 Purple Energy. All three are brighter bold shades that are really pretty for spring to summer. These have a dewy balmy texture with no dry down (they stay dewy). Since they’re balms there is a bit of stickiness to them. I really like these on the lips. Since they’re very balmy they adhere well and stay put. It is colder and drier than usual this time of year here in Florida which means I can wear a lot of things I normally can’t. I’ve been really enjoying things for dry or normal-to-dry skin and I think the No 1 de Chanel line is best for that skin type.

All three shades worn below along with:

Foundation No 1 de Chanel Foundation B40 (reviewed here)
Powder Chanel Les Beiges Powder B30
Eyeshadow Chanel Les 4 Ombres Candeur et Experience
Brows Kosas Brow Pop Nano
Mascara Milani Highly Rated Tubing Mascara
Nail Polish Olive and June Quick Dry Pointe

Vibrant Coral

Ardent Brick

Purple Energy

Revitalizing Nourishing Duo

There’s a cute Revitalizing Travel Duo with minis of the No 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Serum and Crème Riche. I tried these in a few mini sample GWPs when the line first launched and found the formulas too rich for my skin type. They both have a beautiful texture and feel but are heavily scented. I did try them again to review and while the scent did not irritate my skin I did find both a little too heavy. My skin has been dry but I still feel both of these are best suited for truly dry skin. They come in a little travel pouch which is really cute.

Revitalizing Mask

Last we have a look at their new No 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Mask which I think is beautiful. It has a soft jelly texture. It’s a rinse off formula, you apply it to clean skin for 5 minutes and rinse off. It really does leave the skin feeling baby soft and luxuriously smooth. It’s also refillable and you can purchase the refills separately. Two concerns with this formula are the fragrance and alcohol high up in the ingredients list. I was fortunate neither irritated my skin but wanted to put this on your radar in case you have skin sensitivities.

Overall love the look of the new Lip and Cheek Balms. I’ll be enjoying them on both the lips and cheeks right now. When the heat returns to Florida though I suspect they will be too heavy and dewy to wear on my cheeks in humid weather, but I will still be able to use them on the lips. The skincare additions are nice, but not really for my skin type.

Available now at Chanel and Ulta Beauty.

Have you tried these yet? What did you think?

Natasha Denona

Natasha Denona Berry Pop Collection

February 13, 2024

Natasha Denona launched three new cranberry-themed launches in her new Berry Pop Collection just in time for Valentine’s Day. We usually see nudes or pink tones from Natasha Denona (which I love) and I rarely wear red but the colors in the Berry Pop collection are really pretty! The items are available at Ulta Beauty and Natasha Denona.

Berry Pop Cheek Trio

The Berry Pop Cheek Trio ($48) has two rosy shades and a highlighter. The Tinted Glow Cream Base (middle shade) is a softer creamy soft rose pink shimmer. It’s creamy and emollient but has a pretty good dry down once you blend it. You can wear it on the eyes or cheeks.

The Cream Blush has more of a powdery feel to it. It’s very pigmented so a little goes a long way. It’s an intimidating to my neutral-makeup-loving self but very easy to blend for a tint of color.

The Highlighter is a beautiful champagne shimmer with a very smooth silky feel to it. Shimmer is pretty shimmery but it’s finely milled for a really stunning glow.

Overall a solid A+ for performance, blendability and texture. I don’t know that it will be for everyone as I know a lot of you prefer a neutral toned blush, but the reds in this collection have more of a cranberry vibe so it’s not straight up red.

Berry Pop Lipstick + Lip Liner

I love a coordinating lipstick + liner duo and the Berry Pop Lipstick ($27) and Berry Pop Lip Crayon ($24) have Natasha Denona’s signature creamy full coverage formula. Both are matching shades of cranberry. The Lipstick is opaque, smooth, creamy with a satin finish. The Lip Crayon liner is also smooth, very long wearing and really does help to extend the wear of your lipstick (it took waterproof remover to take off). Both have a cool undertone to them.

Berry Pop Look Wearing:

Foundation – Chanel No 1 de Chanel Foundation B40
Concealer – Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Concealer N5
Powder – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Powder Medium
Eyeshadows – Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Palette + Mini Starlette
Eyeliner – Laura Mercier Caviar Tightline Eyeliner Tuxedo
Mascara – Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara
Cheeks – Natasha Denona Berry Pop Palette
Lips – Natasha Denona Berry Pop Lip Liner + Lipstick
Nail Polish – Chanel Le Vernis Skieuse
Top – Abercrombie Sweater Vest (wearing a Small)

I Need a Rose Lipsticks

For my neutral-lip lovers I’ve added a quick look at her I Need a Rose Lipsticks which are the first neutrals lip colors in her line that don’t wash me out. We all know neutral lipsticks can be tricky. Something that is “neutral” to me can be straight up orange on someone else or can also look concealer-like depending on lip tone, skin tone, under tone etc.

Her I Need a Rose Lipsticks are beautiful lighter shades that have just the right amount of warmth for me. Most of her other nude lipsticks are too cool-toned on me, but for those looking for truly cool-toned lipsticks or liners, I can’t rave enough about her formulas.

Peony is a pale milky pink cream, Daphne is a medium rosy brown nude, Calla is stunning beige cream. She has matching Lip Liners and Lip Glosses to go with these. I actually have the lip liners but they are missing in action in my stash (I couldn’t find them). I do have the Lip Glosses swatched on the arm, but the formula unfortunately settles into my lip lines and I’m really not a fan of them.

Overall lots to love. Formulas and colors are beautiful. You can find the Berry Pop Collection out now at Ulta Beauty. The I Need a Rose Lipsticks are also available at Ulta Beauty and Sephora.

Eye Makeup

MAKE Beauty Multi-Chromatic Metal-Reflecting Eyeshadows

February 8, 2024

MAKE Beauty is a beauty line I’ve been loving but haven’t written about on the blog yet and it’s a line I think is definitely worth checking out. The products MAKE has been creating remind me of the good old days of when there were innovative beauty launches. They have also launched some really beautiful staples, but with a unique twist whether it’s the packaging or formula.

Multi-Chromatic Metal-Reflecting Eyeshadows

Their latest launch is the Multi-Chromatic Metal-Reflecting Eyeshadow ($24 each). These are beautiful reflective shimmer eyeshadows that have a creamy feel but blend like a powder. They’re very metallic but the shimmer is unique in the sense that you will get a different shimmer effect depending on how much you apply. With a soft fluffy brush you get a soft luminous glow. If you apply with fingers or a dense brush you’ll see a more foiled metallic sheen.

Once on the lids there’s no fall-out (true to their description!). When I apply with a brush there is a little bit of fall out onto the cheeks but most of the product adheres to the lids. Lasting power is impressive – the texture is creamy which makes it adhere to the eyes for very long wear.

There are 12 shades available. The team sent 6 as press samples and I was so impressed with the formula I ordered a few more (and they shipped pretty quickly). These shadows look speckled with different pearly colors mixed in for a stunning finish.

Glaze* is a beautiful warm champagne pearly shimmer
Gleam is a beautiful pink mauve metallic shimmer
Quartz* is a cool-toned taupe shimmer, almost pulls purply on my skin
Dream Dust is a beautiful golden brassy shade
Blaze* is a warm coral shimmer
Stardust* is a stunning deep emerald
Purple Haze* is a luminous orchid plum
Onyx* is a gunmetal metallic

On me they pull more metallic than sparkly. Shimmer is more on the fine side vs chunky, so while they have very strong shimmer they aren’t like glitter toppers.

I did two looks below wearing three shades. You can wear them alone as one-and-done kind of shadows or mix/layer multiples.

Dream Dust Look

Also wearing:

Foundation – Chanel No 1 de Chanel Foundation BD41 (reviewed here)
Powder – MAKE Diffusion Set Powder Translucent Light/Med*
Bronzer – MAKE Skin Mimetic Microsuede Bronzer in Aura*
Blush – MAKE Skin Mimetic Microsuede Blush in Cosmic*
Eyeshadow – Multi-Chromatic Metal-Reflecting Eyeshadow in Dream Dust
Eyeliner – Continuum Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Eclipse* (I really love these, they’re creamy, high in pigment and come with a built-in
sharper and blending brush at the end)
Mascara – Victoria Beckham Vast Lash Tubing Mascara (reviewed in this post here)
Brows – Too Faced Super Fine Brow Detailer Medium Brown
Lipstick – MAKE Cream Supreme High Impact Lipstick Equilibrium*
Nail Polish – Chanel Le Vernis Glaciale (reviewed here)

Glaze + Blaze Look

Wearing the same items above, but with Glaze and Blaze layered together.

New Eyeshadow Brushes

They launched two brushes with the eyeshadow and I think they’re very well made. The All Over Eyeshadow Brush ($24) is a very soft medium-sized brush. The Precision Eye Smudger ($24) is a small domed brush, also very soft and dense. The handles feel a weighted which gives it a luxurious feel. So far I only have one other brush the Powder Brush ($30) and I use it all the time. I really hope they expand the brush line and consider making a travel brush set because they are well designed, well made and really nice to use.

Overall lots to love. I think the eyeshadows are beautiful and the formula is very unique. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but my top 3 are Glaze, Gleam and Dream Dust.

I have a pretty substantial brush collection and think the new eyeshadow brushes they launched are worth splurging on.

You can find these available now at Makebeauty.com.

Press samples have a * next to them. All other items purchased by me.

Hourglass Cosmetics Lips

New Hourglass Lip Launches: Unlocked Soft Matte Lipstick, Lip Liners + New Shades Phantom Glossy Balm

February 6, 2024

My spring lip testing continues with a look at the newest launches from Hourglass Cosmetics. They launched a new Unlocked Soft Matte Lipstick ($38 each), Shape and Sculpt Lip Liners ($29 each) and four new shades of their Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm ($36). I hauled these from Sephora but they’re also available at Hourglass, Nordstrom, Bluemercury, Neiman Marcus and all Hourglass retailers.

Unlocked Soft Matte Lipstick

The Unlocked Soft Matte Lipstick is a soft blurred matte lipstick with full coverage. They’re very opaque with full coverage and according to Hourglass they’re infused with a primer for smooth application. I found they did indeed apply smoothly but there was some tugging and looked dry on my lips. Granted a matte finish can look dry, but these felt like they sucked all the moisture from my lips making them feel a little tight.

Most of the colors I tried pulled very warm on me. The matte finish made these look a little muted/faded on me, but it could just be the colors I picked out. They swatch beautifully on the hand. On my darker pigmented lips I did not really like any of these shades. Poppy is pretty and right along the lines of a shade I would wear, but in real life it emphasizes my lip lines and looks very dry.

I do think they are long-wearing but they felt so dry & uncomfortable on my lips I couldn’t leave them on long enough to see how long they would last.

Magnolia is a pale warm nude pink
Tulip is a cool-toned pink
Tigerlily is a burnt orange
Peony is a warm brown beige
Foxglove is a very warm berry
Poppy is a muted coral (not shown above because I dropped it and the entire tube was smashed)

Swatches:

For skin tone reference I am a match to the Veil Hydrating Skin Tint in Shade 9 right now (reviewed in this post here). I think the original/regular Unlocked Lipsticks are far superior in terms of formula, comfort and color selection.

Shape and Sculpt Lip Liners

There are seven new Shape and Sculpt Lip Liners. As a neutral lip lover I picked up the four lightest colors. Formula is very long-wearing. Application is relatively smooth. Shades pull very warm and I’m not sure the colors aren’t unique enough to justify if you already own a lot of neutrals.

Shade 1 Expose does not show up on my lips, but these days I feel like most of the new lighter neutral pencils do not
Shade 2 Flaunt is a warm pink rose beige
Shade 3 Tempt is a deeper brown pink
Shade 4 Undercover is a darker terracotta brown rose

Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm

Last we have a look at the new shades of Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm. I love this formula although in the hot summer months they can get a little melty in the tube. They’re soft, glossy, hydrating and have a slight cooling sensation. Hourglass added the 2 shades from their Holiday 2024 Duo Set and I’m thrilled they’re permanent! These are very balmy so the lasting power isn’t super long, but this is a formula I don’t mind reapplying. Just an FYI price for what you get is pretty high. A number of you have told me to me these were not worth it for you because you used them up in a matter of a few weeks with daily use and re-application. I kinda agree, but I like these enough to splurge on. New Shades include:

Crave – warm pink
Rouse – plum brown
Reveal – bluer-toned pink (cooler version of Crave)
Wish a pretty coral color

I swatched these next to some of the other Phantom Glossy Balms I own:

Overall the matte lipsticks are a miss for me. I think there are better matte lip formulas out there like from brands like Pat McGrath, Lisa Eldridge, Charlotte Tilbury and Armani to name a few. That being said I usually do not like or wear matte lips and I have seen a lot of positive reviews on these – I might be the only one who does not love these.

Lip liners aren’t bad. The colors don’t really jump out to me, but formula is long-wearing and I think they could be neutral staples if you don’t have a lot of lip pencils.

I love the new shades of Phantom Glossy Balm. I think they’re fresh, flattering and perfect for year round – they have me looking forward to warm weather months.

Available now at Sephora, Hourglass, Nordstrom, Bluemercury, Neiman Marcus and all Hourglass retailers.

That wraps up my Hourglass lip launch review! If you tried these let me know what you thought!

Chanel Les Beiges Winter Glow 2024

February 2, 2024

This year Chanel has surprised us with a new collection launched called the Les Beiges Winter Glow Collection. As a huge fan of their Les Beiges collections, I was thrilled to see this with a wintery twist. The collection launched in early January online at Chanel.com and after playing with everything for a few weeks I have a review today including:

Healthy Winter Glow Blush ($72) – 3 shades
Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette ($72) – new shade Cool
Rouge Coco Baume ($45) – 3 shades
Le Vernis ($32) – 2 new shades
Healthy Winter Glow Primers ($54) – 3 shades

Healthy Winter Glow Blush

There are three shades of the Les Beiges Healthy Winter Glow Blush. These are limited-edition powder blushes in the Les Beiges beige compact with a snowflake embossed on the surface of the powder. They have an almost creamy texture, like a cream to powder, but perform more like a powder. Each shade has impressive buildable pigment that is easy to layer. They have a subtle glow and each shade has some shimmer in them.

Rose Polaire

Rose Polaire is my favorite. It’s a baby rose pink that has a really stunning glow to it. I was worried it would be too pale to show up on my medium Chanel B40 skin tone but it shows up beautifully for a pretty baby pink flush.

Below Rose Polaire blush with Les Beiges Eyeshadow Palette in Cool, Lip Liner in Rose Naturel and Rouge Coco Baume in Chilling Pink

________

Coral Givre

Corail Givre is a stunning coral with gold shimmer. This has a similar look to some of the other Chanel peachy blushes but has a brightness that brings the skin to life. The gold shimmer adds a pretty glow – the shimmer and sparkles are more visible on the skin in this one.

Below Corail Givre Blush with Les Beiges Eyeshadow Palette in Warm (from a previous launch) and Rouge Coco Baume in Cocoon

________

Mauve Glace

Mauve Glace is a beautiful neutral-warm mauve. It looks cool-toned in the pan but on my skin it pulls a bit reddish leaning more towards a warmer mauve. I think this is a really pretty shade that will be great for spring.

Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette – COOL

Chanel launched a new Healthy Glow Eyeshadow Palette called Cool. As someone who rarely wears purple shadows I have to say this far exceeded my expectations. It has a soft seashell pink satin, a medium warm pink satin, shimmering warm purple burgundy, a darker plum with gold flecks and a sparkling lilac glittery sparkle topper. The sparkle shade almost has a duo chrome quality and flashes blue, violet and pink.

Texture is very soft and powdery so there is fallout when you apply but they do stay put on the eyes without migrating. I think the light sparkle shade makes this palette special. The eye look comes alive with the pop of violet/pink shimmers. Pigment is medium but buildable. I really love this palette! See it in action here.

Rouge Coco Baume

There are three new Rouge Coco Baumes. These are sheer tinted balms in a twist up tube format. If you’re new to these these have a comfortable feel, no scent and sheer-medium color payoff.

Chilling Pink is a very sheer pale milky pink. It’s not visible on the arm or hand swatch but on my lips I see a very pretty sheer milky pink.

Keep Cool has a pretty 90s vibe. On my lips it’s very pale, almost like a taupe shade. I think it’s better when paired with a deeper or warmer liner on my lips. It pulls very cool toned.

Cocoon is a sheer berry color. It has a slight hint of shimmer to it but pulls more like a cream. It’s almost like a reddish bitten stain on my lips. It’s very pretty – on me it pulls warm in undertone.

Le Vernis

The two Le Vernis shades are sheers, but they are very smooth sheers. Glaciale is a sheer milky white and Skieuse is a sheer baby pink. I applied both with 3 coats in the swatches below. I already bought backups of both shades. I think they’re really pretty.

Healthy Winter Glow Primers

Last I have some quick thoughts about the new Healthy Winter Glow Primers (available in 3 shades). These are very sheer glowy primers that almost have a gel-like feel. On my skin when layered over moisturizer they had a sticky feel. The colors are really pretty, but they are very sheer and don’t really give the skin much of a tint or glow. These are scented with fragrance. I didn’t notice much of a difference in my foundation with these. I think the No 1 de Chanel Skin Enhancers are better for my skin type. Swatches below of the Chanel highlighting fluids and La Base Illuminatrice. I didn’t swatch on the arm as they pretty much disappear once blended.

The top 3 standouts from the Les Beiges Winter Glow are: Rose Polaire, Chilling Pink and Cool Eyeshadow Palette. You can see them in action in this Reel.
