Candle Review: Bath & Body Works Honeysuckle Scented Candle

Hifolks, so I have another home fragrance post for you. 
Candle: Bath & Body Works Scented Candle in Honeysuckle.
Availability: This scent comes and goes but it currently appears to be unavailable at this time.
Would I buy this again?: Yes!
Notes: In previous candle reviews I often would explain why I picked a particular scent, in terms of this it's because it's nostalgic to me. When I was younger, maybe around 11-12, my family used to go to this cabin-type place in upstate New York and the roadway to the pool there always smelled of honeysuckle, it takes me back to those times. 
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - there is a sweet honeysuckle scent with something reminiscent of a lemony/citrusy scent. 
As the wax warms and burns, the scent intensifies, though it doesn't change. 
I find this candle melts and burns very well; it has a powerful throw that smells up my whole room. Personally I love this fragrance and find it to be somewhat more floral and well-rounded versus their other Honeysuckle options. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Disclaimer: Bought this myself.

Candle Review: Bath & Body Works Tea & Lemon Scented Candle

Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you.
Candle: Bath & Body Works Scented Candle in Tea & Lemon.
Availability: This scent comes and goes but appears to be unavailable at this time.
Would I buy this again?: Yes!
Notes: In previous candle reviews I often would explain why I picked a particular scent, in terms of this, I bought it because it smells a lot like Bath & Body Works Scented Candle in London Calling.
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - it smells like a very straightforward black tea with lemon. 
As the wax warms and burns, the scent intensifies, though it doesn't change. 
I find this candle melts and burns very well, I love the scent as it's very cozy and comforting; I adore tea scents. I've actually used this whole thing up already. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Tarte Make Believe in Yourself Palette Review

The big moment we've all been waiting for - I FINALLY managed to get my greedy sea-hands on this box of gorgeousness. We are about to embark on a journey featuring review and swatches galore. Strap yourselves in folksickles.
AvailabilityThis palette has been discontinued.
Would I buy this again? Probably not.
NotesThe palette contains 10 shadows and a highlighter. They are absolutely beautiful in their textures (for the most part) and work well with one another. I haven't had an issue with pigmentation or anything of that kind. I love the name of it and its magical vibes, I love all the metallic shades in here. So pretty!
The highlighter is unnamed but is described as a pearl highlight shimmer; to me it's an iridescent white champagne with a pink pearl.
Pixie - is described as a golden pink shimmer; to me it's a warm peach base with an intense golden pearl.
Myth - is described as a matte nude; to me it's a warm pinky mauve, a great blending out/transition shade.
Magic - is described as a bronze shimmer; to me it's a warm shimmery bronze with gold and white micro-shimmer.
Wings - is described as a copper shimmer; to me it's a copper shimmer with golden white micro-glitter.
Marvel - is described as a metallic sage shimmer; to me it's a very warm, metallic golden light green.
Trance - is described as a taupe slate shimmer; to me it's a gorgeous metallic taupe with a bit of a warm golden pearl running through it. 
Fairy - is described as a metallic lavender shimmer; to me this is a strong purple based LOADED with an intense silver pearl and silver micro-glitter.
Mystic -is described as a blue pearl shimmer; to me this is a very heavily grayed blue with an intense silver pearl and silver micro-glitter
Dream - is described as a turquoise shimmer; this is fairly true to its description, a beautiful shimmery turquoise. 
Crystal - is described as an iridescent champagne shimmer; I'd say this shade is a golden mauve.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
