I saw the snaps of your newly layed floor. The black looks really elegant. This foundation sounds horrible. I hate it when we as women of colour cannot find our proper shade range when it comes to base makeup. Products are definitely a miss when we keep trying it out with different options but it still don't want to work.

And ho...I hope you had a nice time out of town Kim! And how exciting your home renovations are almost done! I loved your snapchat story posts so I'm sad to see them go! But I totally understand, there is a lot to keep up with now, with the Instagram stories too. I kind of like the idea of Instagram stories because I'm on there more than snapchat but I don't know. <br /><br />Too bad these didn't work out well! I was curious about the cream gel foundation but now I'll stay away. The chemical scent would bother me. I'm excited to see your other reviews for tarte products though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033246459058427183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969677052737801120.post-35322726584856584892016-08-08T15:20:33.467-05:002016-08-08T15:20:33.467-05:00I've been loving Insa Stories b/c I didn't...I've been loving Insa Stories b/c I didn't have a Snapchat, so I felt like I was missing out on so much! I just didn't want to have to keep up with yet another social platform, so when Insta made this update, I was so happy! I can share what I want on one single platform, but I've been hearing mixed feelings on it, mainly about the disappointment in filters. I'm sure with time, Insta will add something, I think they're just testing things out. That said, I've had similar experiences with Tarte. I used their Amazonian foundation for a few years and it was okay. Not the best of coverage for what I needed at the time, which is why I eventually ventured out. Plus, I learnt that it was making me break out, worsening the problem I had prior to using it. I've also had a not so good experience with their blushes, the colors, I felt, weren't pigmented enough and didn't really show up on me; I had to apply A LOT! It comes a no surprise that you didn't like this one. I don't know why they keep using these jars for these kinds of products. I was using their blur primer and it was in a similar container, which I really didn't like. Anyway, congrats on almost being done with the remodel on your home! You should definitely share some before and afters. Now with no decor added and then once you're "done" (no one is ever really done decorating, haha). Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a great weekend! Oh, and I'm glad you were able to have fun at the concert, too! <br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Jalisa<br />www.thestylecontour.com Jalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222913699484379607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969677052737801120.post-38358935910826976192016-08-08T15:17:04.742-05:002016-08-08T15:17:04.742-05:00I still don't know how I feel about the Instag...I still don't know how I feel about the Instagram stories. I don't hate it as much as I thought I would, but it's too much like Snapchat while not being the same at all. lol <br /><br />I wouldn't expect anything from Tarte to have a chemical smell because they market themselves as being a more natural option. I think the mistake tarte and every similar brand is making is the discontinuing of good products to have constant release of new products that are hit or miss. It's turning me off from a lot of brands lately.

I saw the new IG Stories feature and yay to me for not bothered with SnapChat and now I have it on IG. LOL! And damn, Zuckerberg is really throwing a massive shade to SnapChat after failing to purchase them. Hahaha!<br /><br />I have not purchase anything from Tarte since forever, for some reason I'm losing interest in the brand just like how I'm not as excited for Urban Decay anymore.<br /><br />Shireen | <a href="http://reflectionofsanity.com" rel="nofollow">Reflection of Sanity </a>Shireen L.
