[MENTION=21522]elegant-one[/MENTION] are you still enjoying the Tarte x Aspyn palette? I saw a review that the shadows blend into each other and am wondering what you think of that.

Also apparently Tarte has a palette out called Make Magic Happen. Have we discussed this? It looks nice

Yes, I really do love it a lot. I don't have that issues with the shadows. I love using them in the single shades by themselves because they're so pretty. But, I love these kind of shades.

I don't remember the MMH Tarte palette.

This might be a dumb question - who is Aspyn? I think some of these companies will collaborate with just about anyone these days.

Not dumb at all. I have no clue who she is either...Oh well.

Google tells me she's Aspyn Ovard, a Youtuber and Instagrammer. (She also has a Youtube channel with her husband, Parker.) Looking at the palette on her Instagram Stories, the packaging is pretty, but pretty much every colour in it is dupeable.

I have no idea who she is either. When I first saw the palette name I just thought Tarte was trying to be *cute* with their spelling lol. Brands do seem to do collabs pretty randomly.

I bought the Nars Orgasm lip balm today. Hope it shows up on my lips.

I'm just so happy to be back online after a windows update bricked my laptop & all we got was a blue screen. Thank goodness hubs is a computer genius & somehow got it to come back up. I lost all my emails & Firefox info etc. He was able to recover/reinstall everything but a lot of the emails. Fortunately most of those are all backed up. Geesh, what a freak out. :doh:

Glad you're back. My computer isn't liking that update either. So far not as serious as your problem but I won't be surprised if it gets there.

:flowers: Ugh, it really sucked! I guess there are class action law suits everywhere over it. Other people lost so much important data. I hope yours doesn't get worse. Chicness will be here tomorrow.

Glad you are back too and that hubs was able to recover/reinstall everything! What a fiasco:p

My Nars lip balm arrived today and it's quite nice. It doesn't add a lot of color, but enough that I'm happy with it.
What I'm incredibly thrilled with though is the orgasm loose powder. Can I just say WOW. I have a tan now and used a small highlighting brush to apply it on my cheekbones. I was stunned at how beautiful it is. There isn't a lot of product but I am SUPER impressed. On fair skintones it will be a lot darker/ more prominent, but it likely would be equally gorgeous. You should definitely try it in store if you can :eek:

Totally sucks! I was debating about the loose powder.

Oh man, I guess I DO need the powder lol. How does it compare to the blush shade? :heart: :flowers:

Completely different shade- more bronze less pink. It's this gold bronze pink lol with incredible light reflecting pearls. Have you seen Reallyree's review? Her swatch is bang on. I never wear the blush but I know I will wear this as a highlight A LOT. But then with a tan it looks really good. You are so fair that it probably is more of a blush for you. It is launching in store at Sephora quite soon, so maybe try it before you buy it blind.:)

Wore my NARS lip balm all day today. For those of you with pigmented lips, I doubt it will show up. For me with my corpse/saran wrap lips, I am in love. It looks like nice healthy lip color, not like I'm wearing lipstick. Feels really comfy on lips and was moisturizing. If anyone has Chanel Boy RCS, I found the color of this to be a little similar (good for me since Boy is my favorite RCS)

I had no plans to purchase the powder but you are tempting me. I'm pale and won't get a tan so this might make a nice summer blush for me. Is it too shimmer to wear as a blush?

Perhaps. I have not tried it as a blush, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to blend out and diffuse the powder. It could be a bit much given the light reflecting particles.

Edit: okay I just tried it. It blends and diffuses beautifully and is really quite gorgeous. A bit too shimmery for my taste, but each to her own;)
