An Engineer's Beauty Diary

Hello lovelies and welcome to Day 6 of daily blogging! Today, I have yet another review for you, on the Tarte Knockout Tingling Treatment. Without further ado, let's get into the review! Q: Where can I buy it? A: Sephora stores, sephora.com, tartecosmetics.com Q: How much does it cost? A:  $39 USD Q: How much do I get in one bottle? A:  5 oz / 150 mL Q: What's the packaging like? A: This is housed in a tall, heavy bottle that feels like glass, with a large, blue plastic screw cap that ensures nothing leaks out.  Q: Will it suit my skin? A: If you have acne prone, oily/combo skin that can tolerate acids, then yes, this is for you. You should especially look into this if you have texture issues and/or acne scarring. If you're sensitive to glycolic acid, no worries as this contains 10% salicylic and lactic acids as well as niacinimide to help soothe the skin. Q: Is the scent going to give me a headache? A: ...

I'm sure by now you would know what it is from the title... but just in case, it's the Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder.

Now, all these things that I just listed are very exciting, but I didn't get any results with them. NONE. AT ALL. Instead, I was still very oily and shiny, and this powder broke me out so badly that if I used it, I would have a few new zits within either the same day or the next day. The good thing about this is that it makes th...

Hey everyone; I hope you all are enjoying the more frequent and regular posts! Today, I thought I would give you all a post about a few of my favorite contour powders, which in some instances is bronzers, but I'm including some other types of powders that can be used for contour, such as eye shadows. I'm starting off with an actual bronzer, this is the Tarte Mineral Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess. I'm sure there's been many raves and review on this, and I'm going to say it's a rave product for me... sometimes. Now the reason for that is because this bronzer can sometimes look a bit too orange on my skin, but as a contour, it somehow is able to settle into the hollows without looking like an actual orange. It does have a bit of a golden shimmer sheen when swatched and in the pan, but it's not noticeable on the skin unless it's applied super heavily. I like to take a rounded or the angled brush that I made myself and sweep this in the  ...
