<p>Today I&#8217;ve got the Top 10 Best Cruelty-free Faux Glow Products. While I don&#8217;t typically get my glow on, I&#8217;ve researched the best products to help you if you want to rock a healthy fake tan! Since laying out in the sun to get a tan can lead to skin cancer, there are many better options available if you want to add some color to your complexion.</p>
<p><strong>Beautisol</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB0030LB1IG%2Fref%3Das_li_ss_tl%3Fie%3DUTF8%26amp%3Bcamp%3D1789%26amp%3Bcreative%3D390957%26amp%3BcreativeASIN%3DB0030LB1IG%26amp%3BlinkCode%3Das2%26amp%3Btag%3Dphyrranet-20&sref=rss">Summer Glow</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=phyrranet-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0030LB1IG" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> Dark Self-Tanning Lotion<br />
As you know, I reviewed the <a href="http://www.phyrra.net/2013/02/beautisol-tanner-a-review.html">Beautisol Summer Glow</a> Dark Self-Tanning  Lotion a few months ago and I was really impressed by the way it gave me a natural looking tan and didn&#8217;t turn me orange. It also didn&#8217;t stink. It has no stinky smell, unlike every other self-tanner I&#8217;ve ever seen. It really gives a beautiful, streak free tan if you follow the instructions. You ABSOLUTELY MUST exfoliate your body thoroughly before you use this self-tanning lotion. Following Sinead&#8217;s <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.beautisol.com%2FTipsTricks.aspx&sref=rss">tips</a> will give you the perfect tan.</p>
<p><strong>Too Faced</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11mkcKQ&sref=rss">Chocolate Soliel</a> Matte Bronzer<br />
This is an award-winning bronzing powder that smells like chocolate! What more do you need to know? It&#8217;s a matte bronzer, it neutralizes red tones and evens out your skintone.</p>
<p><strong>bareMinerals</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11MPbzI&sref=rss">Glow for the Bronze</a> Kit<br />
Achieve bronzed perfection. BareMinerals READY® Bronzer sweeps on a golden bronze glow, while the complementary shade of bareMinerals READY Luminizer enhances your complexion with a pink nectar glow. Paired with the Angled Face Brush for a flawless application, the final effect is a stunning radiant glow.</p>
<p><strong>tarte</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F12Mc9gU&sref=rss">Park Avenue Princess</a> Matte Waterproof Bronzer<br />
I have this bronzer in my Aqualillies for tarte Palette and love using it as a contour. It&#8217;s lightweight, waterproof and does double duty since you can use it to contour or as a bronzer.</p>
<p><strong>Meow</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.meowcosmetics.com%2Fsunsplasher.htm&sref=rss">Sunsplashers</a><br />
Meow&#8217;s Sunsplashers give you a sheer color wash for a healthy glow. You just dust them anywhere the sun would splash you, like your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, a little at the chin and shoulders, etc. Available in over 30 shades, customized to your foundation. I wear Siamese and Sphynx.</p>
<p><strong>NARS</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11BQwbr&sref=rss">Blush Bronzer Duos</a><br />
NARS now has 5 differen blush bronzer duos available. There&#8217;s Orgasm &amp; Laguna, Sin &amp; Casino, Deep Throat &amp; Laguna, Desire &amp; Laguna, and Oasis &amp; Laguna. Laguna is the lighter bronzer shade and Casino is the darker bronzer shade. I love the Look of the Deep Throat and Desire duos.</p>
<p><strong>Senna</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsennacosmetics.com%2Fproduct_info.php%3Fopt_id%3D611%26amp%3Bproducts_id%3D1415&sref=rss">Brilliant Bronze</a><br />
Senna makes a beautiful bronzer in two shades. Sunset is a deep bronze with golden highlighter. Dawn is a light bronze with seashell pink highlighter.</p>
<p><strong>Too Faced</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F12MeFnl&sref=rss">Pink Leopard</a> Blushing Bronzer<br />
This is too cute not to list! It&#8217;s supposed to be a universal bronzer shade that gives you a bronze glow with golden pink shimmer.</p>
<p><strong>Urban Decay</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11BRvIR&sref=rss">Baked</a> Bronzer<br />
UD makes bronzers in 3 shades: Baked (light bronze shimmer), Gilded (bronze shimmer swirled with gold), and Toasted (matte bronze). This product is baked on a terre cotta disc for 24 hours, rather than being pressed. One of these shades is sure to suit your tastes.</p>
<p><strong>Buxom</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11BRXH6&sref=rss">Hot Escapes</a> Bronzer<br />
Buxom makes a beautiful bronzer in two shades. Tahiti is the golden tan (lighter shade). Maldives is the golden bronze (deeper shade). This bronzer smells like toasted coconut! That smell definitely evokes Summer for me.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_more_fire.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45716" alt="Literary Lacquers More Like Fire Than Light" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_more_fire.png" width="570" height="483" /></a></p>
<p><strong>More Like Fire Than Light</strong> -  a juicy orange linear holographic polish.  (inspired by Delta of Venus by Anais Nin)</p>
<p>I think this is the first orange holo that I&#8217;ve ever seen and the holo is strong in this one!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_please.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45717" alt="Literary Lacquers If It Pleases You" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_please.png" width="600" height="525" /></a></p>
<p><strong>If It Pleases You</strong> &#8211; a deep plum with a touch of brown (or bruise colored if you will) linear holographic polish. (inspired by The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice)</p>
<p>This is a truly beautiful plum purple. Again, the holo is very strong.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_latersbaby.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45719" alt="Literary Lacquers Laters, Baby" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_latersbaby.png" width="600" height="529" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Laters, Baby</strong> &#8211; a deep charcoal linear holographic nail polish with added fine holographic glitter for extra sparkle love. (inspired by 50 Shades of Grey)</p>
<p>This is my favorite of all the holographics. You can layer it on top of blck but it&#8217;s pigmented on its own. I LOVE the holographic glitter in it. It&#8217;s very fine and tiny, and I think it gives it that extra special touch. I can stare at the bottle, enraptured by it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_bionic.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45720" alt="Literary Lacquers Bionic Mmmm Detector " src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_bionic.png" width="600" height="553" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Bionic Mmmm Detector</strong> &#8211; a black jelly polish packed with aqua, teal, blue and green microglitter. (inspired by Vox by Nicholson Baker)</p>
<p>This is super pretty but it definitely leans green to me.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_wpleasure.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45721" alt="Literary Lacqurs Woman of Pleasure" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_wpleasure.png" width="600" height="539" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Woman of Pleasure</strong> &#8211; a periwinkle crelly (creme jelly) base with navy and lavender sparkle, matte light pink, large navy hexes, and magenta circle glitter. Full coverage in 2 thicker or 3 thin coats. I like to drag the almost dry brush over the last coat to fully uncover the glitter there for maximum sparkle. The polish has a little more purple in it than it appears in these photos. (inspired by Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure written by John Cleland in 1748)</p>
<p>This is a light blue crelly. I think it would probably work best layerd on top of a light blue or white polish, so that you get the full effect of the glitter.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_fools.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45722" alt="Literary Lacquers What Fools These Mortals Be" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_fools.png" width="600" height="566" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What Fools These Mortals Be</strong> &#8211; This polish is a glitter riot. Holographic pink and purple sparkle form the base, with light green, aqua, fuchsia, and tons of black glitter thrown in for a pageant of color. It looks best in a thin coat or two over another solid color and is truly amazing in the sun! This polish contains a lot of glitter and will require effort to remove; but it’s worth it. (inspired by Puck from Shakespeare, a Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream)</p>
<p>This is such a beautiful glitter. I tihnk those large aqua glitters mixed in with the purple really do it for me. It&#8217;s worth it as an accent (or full mani, if you don&#8217;t mind removing glitter).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_swatches1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45723" alt="Literary Lacquers Nail Polish Review and Swatches" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_swatches1.png" width="700" height="1249" /></a></p>
<p>The rest of these colors are from the Green Gables Collection.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_anne.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45724" alt="Literary Lacquers Anne with an E" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_anne.png" width="600" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Anne With an E Glitter Top Coat</strong> &#8211; Sheer milky base with tons of opalescent glitter and a touch of chrome silver glitter</p>
<p>This is breathtakingly beautiful.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_raspberry.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45725" alt="Literary Lacquers Raspberry Cordial?" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_raspberry.png" width="600" height="510" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Raspberry Cordial?</strong> &#8211; Raspberry Linear Holographic with added holo glitter</p>
<p>This is a beautiful raspberry pink holo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screenshot_121.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45727" alt="Literary Lacquers Lake of Shining Waters" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screenshot_121.png" width="501" height="413" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Lake of Shining Waters</strong> &#8211; Murky Teal Linear Holographic</p>
<p>To me this is an emerald with teal tones.</p>
<p><strong>Green Gables</strong> &#8211; Grass Green Linear Holographic</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_swatches3.png"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-45728" alt="Literary Lacquers Nail Polish Review and Swatches" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_swatches3.png" width="640" height="363" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_swatches2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45729" alt="Literary Lacquers Nail Polish Review and Swatches" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ll_swatches2.png" width="600" height="1038" /></a></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UWsqwygxRiE" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>As you can see, Literary Lacqurs really knows their holos! They&#8217;re all gorgeous. I think her glitters are nice, too. The formula is good. They have good pigmentation. I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re too thick or too thin. They&#8217;re beautiful.</p>
<p>If you love holographic nail polish, you need to check out Literary Lacquers!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Have you tried Literary Lacquers? Do you love holos?</strong></p>

<p>Happy Monday! Today I&#8217;ve got the <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.meowcosmetics.com%2Fseasonal.htm&sref=rss">Meow Cosmetics</a> <strong>Stripped</strong> Collection for you. This collection is soon to be released but I don&#8217;t have an exact date for it. Meow describes this collection as a color palette of soft focus, everyday colors. The colors are reminiscent of the UD Naked palettes and what many consider to be perfect office wear colors. The colors are buttery soft, pigmented, and blend easily. I don&#8217;t have pricing on this collection or official color descriptions, so these are just my observations on the colors. Please remember that color is subjective and these descriptions are how I see the colors.</p>
<p>Meow Cosmetics is cruelty-free.</p>
<p>All colors swatched on Gosh primer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/strip1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45690" alt="Meow Cosmetics Stripped Collection Review, Swatches, Video" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/strip1.png" width="630" height="664" /></a></p>

<p><strong>Peeled</strong><br />
Pale cotton candy pink</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/strip3.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45691" alt="Meow Cosmetics Stripped Collection Review, Swatches, Video" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/strip3.png" width="640" height="445" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Bare</strong><br />
Pale beige pearl</p>
<p><strong>Buck Naked</strong><br />
Midtone mink brown</p>
<p><strong>Raw</strong><br />

<p><strong>Ready for Action</strong><br />
Sparkly chocolate brown</p>
<p><strong>Nudist</strong><br />

<p><strong>Stark</strong><br />
Pale silvery beige taupe</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/A6NiTf1fHDU" height="349" width="620" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my video of the colors, too. Don&#8217;t forget to <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2FPhyrraNyx&sref=rss">subscribe</a> to my channel and give it a thumbs up if you like it <img src='http://www.phyrra.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/strip2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45692" alt="Meow Cosmetics Stripped Collection Review, Swatches, Video" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/strip2.png" width="640" height="629" /></a></p>
<p>My favorites in this collection are Jaybird, Explicit, Disrobed, Unclad, Topless, and Bare. The only color that I feel is missing from this collection is a pale peachy beige matte shade.</p>
<p>Jaybird and Explicit look fantastic with blue-green eyes. I think Stark is going to be very popular, same with Nudist. Bare, Disrobed and Topless have a wonderful pearl finish that will make them perfect highlighters.</p>

<p>Happy Monday everyone! The weekly roundup is a bit late this week, thanks to an eventful weekend. We celebrated Father&#8217;s Day on Sunday. We also went to see the <strong>Man of Steel</strong>. I thought it was a great movie, though they really kept driving home the point that Superman was often an outsider, sad, and struggled with who he was. It was very cool. We also watched the season Premiere of <strong>True Blood</strong> last night. It wasn&#8217;t as good as I was hoping, but it wasn&#8217;t terrible. (unlike the last book in the series which I found to be awful)</p>

<p><strong>Question of the Week</strong> &#8211; What’s the most regrettable hairstyle you’ve ever had?<br />
<strong>Answer</strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s a toss up between the poodle perm that my mom got me in 6th grade or the time I went copper with my hair and cried for 3 days straight until my stylist could fix it. She talked me into the copper, I took one look at it and burst into tears, hating it immediately. What about yours?</p>

It&#8217;s not secret by now that I LOVE my Kindle Fire and I think everyone should own one. The New Kindle Fire HD is pretty sweet! There&#8217;s a coupon code available for a limited time to save money on a Kindle Fire, so now&#8217;s the perfect time to get one!</p>
<p><strong>Mercer Cutlery Genesis</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB000IBU9FW%2Fref%3Das_li_ss_tl%3Fie%3DUTF8%26amp%3Bcamp%3D1789%26amp%3Bcreative%3D390957%26amp%3BcreativeASIN%3DB000IBU9FW%26amp%3BlinkCode%3Das2%26amp%3Btag%3Dphyrranet-20&sref=rss">6-Piece Forged Knife Block Set</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=phyrranet-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000IBU9FW" width="1" height="1" border="0" />, Steel/Black &#8211; $133.35<br />
If your dad is into cooking, maybe he&#8217;d enjoy a sleek, ultra modern knife set. Genesis knives feature fully forged, single-piece blades made from high-carbon, no-stain German steel.</p>

Is your dad a connoisseur of fine microbrews? He might like the Beer of the Month club. There are several different options available.</p>

If your dad is like Ray, he&#8217;ll love his own homebrew starter kit. That way he can brew any sort of beer that he wants, whether it&#8217;s cherry chocolate stout, dark mint chocolate beer, or orange pale ale! Will Wheaton brews his own beer, and so could your dad. How cool would that be? This kit includes the True Brew Handbook &amp; Kit Instructions, 7.8 Gallon Fermenting Bucket, 1 Lid Drilled &amp; Grommet, True Brew Rack &amp; Fill kit, 6 Gallon Glass Carboy, Fermometer Fermentation Thermometer, Small Buon Vino Drilled Stopper, Hydrometer, Bottling Spigot, Emily Double Lever Capper, 3 Piece Airlock, Bottle Brush, C-Brite Sanitizer 8-Pack.</p>

I know not everyone loves the Samsung Galaxy Note II like I do, but Ray absolutely LOVES his S4 and Dave loves his S3. We&#8217;re all huge Samsung / Android fans in my household. A new phone might be something Dad would like.</p>
<p><strong>Apple</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB0097CZJEO%2Fref%3Das_li_ss_tl%3Fie%3DUTF8%26amp%3Bcamp%3D1789%26amp%3Bcreative%3D390957%26amp%3BcreativeASIN%3DB0097CZJEO%26amp%3BlinkCode%3Das2%26amp%3Btag%3Dphyrranet-20&sref=rss">iPhone 5</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=phyrranet-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0097CZJEO" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> Phone &#8211; $714<br />
While I am not a part of the Apple family conglomerate, we did recently get my Dad an iPhone 5 as he needed an upgrade from his ancient cellphone. He loves it and finds it very easy to use. He&#8217;s finally texting with the best of them!</p>
<p><strong>Amazon</strong> <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB00CRQ43KS%2Fref%3Das_li_ss_tl%3Fie%3DUTF8%26amp%3Bcamp%3D1789%26amp%3Bcreative%3D390957%26amp%3BcreativeASIN%3DB00CRQ43KS%26amp%3BlinkCode%3Das2%26amp%3Btag%3Dphyrranet-20&sref=rss">Gift Card</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=phyrranet-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00CRQ43KS" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> &#8211; Any value<br />
This is what my dad is getting this year. He asked for more books for his kindle (that I bought him last year), so he&#8217;s getting an Amazon Gift Card. I really should write a post at some point about how much I love Amazon Prime and Amazon in general. However, this is a great gift for anyone because then they can get exactly what they want from the Amazon site, which carries books, music, movies and a ton of other cool things. Also, free 2 day shipping is awesome. LOVE IT!</p>
<p><strong>What are you getting your Dad for Father&#8217;s Day?</strong></p>

<p>We all want to know when it&#8217;s the best time to splurge or save on beauty items. Often when you&#8217;re shopping at <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coupons.com%2Fcoupon-codes%2Fulta%2F&sref=rss">Ulta</a>, you can get some great steals with BOGOs (buy one get one) deals, which make it the best time to stock up on brands or products you like. Othertimes, there are really great items that are worth a splurge, such as a multi-purpose palette. Today I&#8217;ve got a great splurge, as well as some awesome steals for you. I was presented with a gift certificate to Ulta by Coupons.com, which inspired this post.</p>
<p>All eyeshadows are swatched on Gosh eyeshadow primer. First up, my splurge!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/tarte_swatches2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45634" alt="tarte aqualillies palette swatches review" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/tarte_swatches2.png" width="600" height="461" /></a><strong>Aqualillies for Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye &amp; Cheek Palette</strong> &#8211; $38</p>
<p>When it comes to a splurge the <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F14rkm7X&sref=rss">tarte Aqualillies</a> for Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye &amp; Cheek Palette is definitely worth it! With 6 eyeshadows, a blush, bronzer and a highlighter, you can create multiple full face long wearing looks. You&#8217;ve got 5 lovely neutrals and one pop of bright with the turquoise. My favorite eyeshadow shade in this palette is actually Bikini. It&#8217;s a beautiful peachy-gold with pink shimmer and I love how it brightens up the eyes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/tarte_swatches1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45635" alt="tarte aqualillies palette swatches" src="http://www.phyrra.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/tarte_swatches1.png" width="640" height="770" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">I also love that there is blush, highlight and contour all rolled into this palette. I found Captivating to be a very flattering blush shade on me. Champagne works perfectly as a highlighter. As long as I used a very light hand, I could contour my cheeks a bit with Park Ave Princess.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The colors in the tarte Aqualillies palette are definitely worth a splurge because they&#8217;ll be flattering on many different skintones. You also get versatility with the 3 cheek products and the 6 eyeshadows. There&#8217;s not a single dud in the entire palette.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now on to my steals! All are swatched on Gosh eyeshadow primer. I bought several of the Nyx Love in Rio eyeshadow trios as they were on &#8216;Buy One Get One 50% Off&#8217;, which it looks like <a href="http://redirectingat.com?id=32292X899577&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coupons.com%2Fcoupon-codes%2Fulta%2F&sref=rss">Ulta</a> still has them BOGO. I picked up 3 trios that looked like they would contain reasonablly close eyeshadows to the tarte Aqualillies palette and 1 super fun trio.</p>

<p><strong>Ciprinhas on the Beach</strong> &#8211; $4.79<br />
sky blue, teal, deep blue<br />
<strong>My Take</strong><br />
pale sky blue, rich midtone teal, deep sea blue. The middle teal is the PERFECT shade of teal. Love it!<br />
<strong>Sizzling Samba</strong> &#8211; $5.99<br />
shimmery gold, champagne, deep bronze<br />
<strong>My Take</strong><br />
rich metallic gold, pale sparkly champagne gold (it was a bit crumbly, hard to get good color payoff), red-based bronzey brown with gold sparkle. The metallic gold on the left is my favorite in this one.</p>

<p><strong>Moonlit Skinny Dip</strong> &#8211; $3.00<br />
off white, toffee, dark brown<br />
<strong>My take</strong><br />
pale creamy beige (it was hard to get this one to show up), light tan brown, deep chocolate brown</p>

<strong>Nighttime in Rio</strong> &#8211; $3.00<br />
hot pink, bright violet, sparkling black<br />
<strong>My Take</strong><br />
vivid hot pink, vivid purple, soft sparkly black. I LOVE these colors!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m not exactly sure why one of the eyeshadow trios was $4.79 instead of $5.99, but regardless, getting 2 of the trios for $3 each was pretty awesome! I ended up paying a total of $58.62 including tax and Ulta.com has free shipping if you spend over $50. These are definitely steals for the price because the overall quality is nice in the Nyx Love in Rio trios.</p>
<p>The Nyx Love in Rio trios are great steals, especially when they&#8217;re BOGO, while the tarte Aqualillies palette is an awesome splurge. With just under $60 you can create countless look combinations with my picks.</p>
