Andrea's Avenue

Hello world!

I know I haven't posted in a week, but it was one hectic week. My hamster Bear passed away Monday night (rough start to the week, right?). Well, on Sunday my mom gave me a surprise! Welcome Pipsqueak to the Avenue community!

Another piece of news for you all is we are moving! Not moving from house to house though. That's right, Andrea's Avenue is getting a face lift and we are moving over to Wordpress! I know this may seem like a while, but the official launch of Andrea's Avenue will be closer to January. I will continue to write here until that time arrives.

I have been blogging on Blogger for about a year and it has been a wonderful experience. I have been planning on doing this switch for a little bit of time, and I'm really excited for you all to join me over on Wordpress!

Lots of Love,
       Andrea

Happy Tuesday!

I recently went makeup shopping and I've been dying to get my hands on the Tartlette In Bloom palette! When I saw it in the store, I knew it was destiny. I'm not one to buy high end beauty products, but recently that's all I have been getting! The quality is better and seems to last better to me. Today I'm going to tell you my first impressions of this palette and my general opinion of it. so let's skip all of the blabbering and take a look at the palette!



The Tartelette In Bloom Palette contains 12 neutral shades that vary from pinks to browns. The consistency of he shadows are smooth which is a major difference from my usual drugstore eye-shadows. With the different hues of browns and pinks, anyone can make a simple day or night look. What caught me the most was the variety of color choices. I have hazel eyes with blue flecks, and I'm constantly on the look out for shadows that will make my eyes pop, and this really did it for me.


All of the colors are very blend-able and very pigmented. This palette has all of the basic shades for a beginner in makeup which is rather good. Many palettes now are adding outrageous colors like electric blue (Which I can not pull off), so I'm glad to see a complete neutral based palette. Another thing you may have noticed from the picture is that most of the shadows are matte. If you're not one for shimmery shadows, don't worry, this one only has 2 with the rest being matte.




The colors look beautiful but the only downside is the price. This palette runs at $45, which is more than what I would typically spend, but I will say that it was worth the money!

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I know I'm ready for the food, but my outfits, not so much. During the holiday's, putting an outfit together can be stressful. To help relieve the stress factor, I have picked some outfits that you can show off at Thanksgiving dinner!

Hello November! I don't know if I can say this enough, but this is my favorite time of the year. I've recently been having allergy problems (yuck), but I'm still holding up.

October was a rather stressful month for me. I got sick multiple times and got behind on school work. I sense many changes coming the month and I will keep you all updated! :)
