My thoughts
Let me start off with the eye shadow palette which has some nice wearable colors. Most colors are neutrals which appear soft and natural against my complexion. You have got a mix of matte and frosh finishes with smooth, blendable texture and good pigmentation.

Then we have the powder blushes: Heavenly, For Cute!, Cheeky and Modesty. Again, like the eye shadows, they’re all packed with pigment and are soft to the touch. I am in love with Heavenly. It is such a lovely muted peach and I just love the way it flatters my skin tone – so beautiful! All blushes are matte and do not contain any sparkle whatsoever.

The collection also contains lip glosses and lip bases. I am not a lip gloss person however I like the fact that they’re super shiny. I would’ve liked it even better if they had good staying power. On the other hand, the lip bases are wonderful! They’re creamy and have a good staying power. The colors are so pretty on their own you don’t need to apply anything over it – I know I wouldn’t.

It’s a thumbs up from my side!

Fall Softly Eye Shadow Palette is priced at $39. The blushes cost $12 each. The lip glosses at $10 and the lip bases cost $12 each. For purchase, visit Sigma's website.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush In Exposed – Review & swatches

I can’t even begin to describe how much I like this product. It’s my top favorite at the moment and I find myself reaching to this a lot.

Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush
A long-wearing, solar-baked blush that lasts up to 12 hours.

Infused with natural clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun, this nutrient-rich blush benefits all skin types for a fade-free flawless finish that lasts an amazing 12 hours. Inspired by Tarte's bestselling shades of cheek stains and lip tints, the colors range from soft to vivid to suit a wide variety of skintones. For oily skin types, Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. Those with dry skin will benefit from the clay's nourishing and hydrating properties, which naturally restore skin's moisture. Combination skin types can rely on its ability to zero in on skin concerns and deliver benefits to restore complexion harmony. The result? Blush that wears better, longer, and truer!

My thoughts
The pretty-looking packaging looks very tempting to begin with. Not only that, it’s quite sturdy too so I think traveling with it wouldn’t be a problem. Exposed is such a gorgeous nude color. It’s a dusty pink with a hint of mauve and looks extremely natural on my skin. Moreover, it looks matte with no visible shimmer which makes it even better. I love wearing it every day; it gives a natural flush and makes my skin look healthy and fresh. Personally, I think it would look good on many skin tones.

The product is quite pigmented so I don’t need to swirl my brush a lot for it to show up against my skin. It feels soft and silky to the touch and blends beautifully. There are no fall-out issues too. When they say its fade-free, they really mean it. The color stays on my skin for more than seven hours – can’t say much about the twelve hour claim for I haven’t tried that yet. There’s absolutely nothing that I don’t like about this. Overall, I am in LOVE!!

You might like it if...

• You're looking for a matte everyday blusher
• You think it has good pigmentation
• You think it's long-wearing

You might not like it if...

• You think it's pricey
• You go overboard with application

My thoughts
For me it’s a gorgeous pink mauve blush that I can wear every day. On the website, it appeared a bit deeper but in reality it looks light and leans more towards pink. I think this color would look absolutely beautiful on medium skin tones. I, for one, am a fan.

Houndstooth doesn’t contain visible shimmer and appears matte. I am extremely impressed with its texture. The powder feels soft and silky to the touch and blends like a dream. Moreover, the pigmentation is just wow! I would suggest keeping a light hand during application for you can easily overdo it. So far, I haven’t experienced any major fall-out issues with this. The staying power is also quite remarkable – lasts around five hours on a hot, sweaty day.

Overall, it’s my new favorite color along with my Tarte blush in Exposed. LOVE IT!

You might like it if…

• It’s very soft and easy to blend
• You think it’s extremely pigmented
• You think it’s long lasting

You might not like it if…

This year we saw some amazing products one after the other by Sigma and this collection is no exception. The eye shadow palette is my favorite. It has got matte and shimmer shadows with good pigmentation and soft texture – very pleased with the matte shades. Though there is some fallout in the pan but that doesn’t break my heart.

The blushes too are pigmented, soft and blendable. I love Serene. It looks gorgeous on my skin. Every single thing from the collection has got incredible color pay off so no complaints. The brushes that come with the collection are great – they’re soft, dense and the handles are perfect.

All in all, the Enlight Collection is a winner in my books.

Senna Fall Midnight Wine Collection – Swatches & a look

Yet another beautiful collection for fall this year by Senna. The Midnight Wine Collection features two distinct looks: Ravishing Ruby and Neo Copper.

The Midnight Wine Collection depicts the true essence of fall/winter. I am in love with the deep berry tones of Ravishing Ruby. Overall all the products have good color payoff, texture and decent longevity. My favorites have to be Cream Lipstick in Ruby, Sheer Face Color in Moonberry and Glow Eye Color in Cordovan Glow.

Glow Eye Color
Beautiful light reflective finish gives buildable coverage that can be soft on the eyes or richly intense. The glossy surface and depth of color and dimension make these colors wearable.
