Sephora is my favorite online retailer to order new makeup, skin care and fragrance products. I am slowly working my way to becoming a VIB (Very Important Beauty insider, which is all based on how much you spend because you earn points for free and exclusive products).
Price: $15.00 for both ($32.00 value)

I have been wanting these two eyeshadows for a while now so when I noticed they were on sale, I had to order them!! Kat Von D make-up is my absolute favorite make-up line and has been for a few years.
I have a feeling both of these are going to be my new favorite go to shadows!!
The base color is dark brown which shade shifts to a green and the shadow has a metallic/shimmery effect which is beautiful!! I would consider this eye shadow to be a duochrome. If you look at the shadow at one angle it looks dark brown and at another angle it looks green.
It is creamy, glides on easily, the shade shift effect is not lost when you apply it to your eyes and a little goes a long way. You can use the shadow wet or dry. It lasts all day and looks amazing with a good eye shadow primer!
This eye shadow also has a duo chrome effect but has a purple base that shade shifts to a maroon/lighter purple color. It all depends on the angle you are viewing it. It looks like a bright purple from one angle and then looks like a maroon/lighter purple from another angle. (This shadow was a lot harder to capture the shade shift effect with my camera, so I do apologize for that).
Love Letter was a bit dry to apply on its own, so I just wet my brush a little before applying the shadow and it worked just the same as the On The Road shade shifter eyeshadow. It was creamy, long lasting and a lot goes a long way.
These will both last a long time so it is worth the $15.00 you pay for both plus its like using two eye shadow colors at once which makes doing your make-up that much faster and easier!!

I am new to exploring Tarte (http://tartecosmetics.com/) products so I felt this was a great way to do that plus these are great items for the summer! I have been working on getting somewhat of a tan on my pale skin but it has not worked out too well. I guess my only option is that I will have to fake it! Haha! :)
This seriously is a great value for free, well sorta free, since you have to earn the points by buying products. Sephora has a great rewards program that is completely free. Check it out sometime on their website if you have not done so already!
I would just like to take a moment to say thank you to Kat Von D for creating her make-up line. My entire life I have struggled with feeling pretty and once I started using this line of make-up, not sure why, but my views of myself changed and I started looking at myself differently. I started to see myself as pretty and unique. I no longer cry myself to sleep because I feel I am unattractive.
This make-up has honestly changed my entire life! I love feeling that I am beautiful on the outside and not just on the inside anymore and being able to show it to the world in my own special way.
Thank you, Thank you Kat Von D for helping change me into the beautiful butterfly that I had cocooned up inside of me for so many years.
I am now able to be free and fly.
