Who is not having a little bit of Spring fever right now? I am so tired from traveling and have a lot going on  with my family right now. Between the emotions, exhaustion, and the weather changing so much, I am dreaming of the perfect Spring. And this new set from Tarte has me lusting after it even more.

Look how cute this set is!
 

This set takes spring's hottest beauty trends and translates them to more wearable colors that'll take you well into fall. Plus, these products contain a blend of Tarte's skinvigorating™ ingredients such as vitamins C and E and mineral pigments.

Tarte's Spring Fever set is available exclusively at Sephora for a price of $40.

Urban Heat from Prescriptives.

A great new Summer collection from Prescriptives is just launching on counters now. This is Urban Heat.

The face is lightly dusted with bronze for an all-over glow. Eyes are subtly contoured in shimmering earth tones punctuated by dramatic accents of bright azure and deep purple. Cheeks are naturally radiant in sun-kissed shades while lips are swept in ripe, lush tones for a fiery finish. Hot!

The Urban Heat Collection:

Colorscope Lip Gloss - Sophisticated and modern, Colorscope Lip Gloss glides onto lips for extraordinary shine and a sheer finish. The ultra-smooth, lightweight texture leaves lips feeling soft, moist and smooth. Wear alone or slicked over your favorite Colorscope Lipcolor to intensify shine or transform color to give lips a full look. Shades: Trendy (Y/O), Sporty (Y/O), Gutsy (R/O), Feisty (R/O), Giggly (R), Sassy (R), Stylish (B/R), Edgy (B/R).
 

Kohl Eye Pencil (Limited Edition) - A super-soft eye liner with great color pay-off defines, lines, colors and contours the eyes. It allows just enough playtime to achieve a smoky, smudgy look or a dramatically defined one. Shades: Blue Grotto and Purple Rain.

Colorscope Creamy Eye Color - A longwearing cream eye shadow that stays color-true all day long without creasing. This easy to blend formula in sparkling shades of gold and gunmetal can be customized as a soft sheen or layered with any Colorscope Eye Color as a base for multi-effects. Shades: Lychee (Y/O)and Smoking Gun (R).

Here To Stay 24-Hour Longwear Mascara - Lift and define lashes for up to 24 hours with this smudge-resistant, customizable formula. The ultra-comfortable formula is waterproof when worn alone or water-resistant over your favorite Prescriptives mascara…perfect for beating the summertime heat! Shade: Black.

Colorscope Lipcolor - A moisturizing, shiny and luscious formula in shades of mocha, bronze and shimmering plum. Shades: Majorcan Sand (Y/O), Chocolate Frost (Y/O), True Bronze (R/O), Berry Oodles (R).

The whole collection is gorgeous. And if you cave on just one thing, it has to be the new Kohl Eye Pencil. I am wearing it right now in Blue Grotto as it is the perfect Summer eye tool.  Well, you should probably pick up a new gloss or two (Sassy is my fave!) - and try the mascara or creamy lipcolor and shadow. There is so much here I like!

Bring on the Heat!!! 

Bobbi Brown Custom Palettes.

I am very curious about these palettes, even more so now that Julia from All About the Pretty raved about them so much when I saw her last week. Bobbi Brown knows palettes, and I think she has another winner on her hands with her newly designed Custom Palettes.

You select from a three pan or a four pan palette, both of which are mirrored, and you select from Eye Shadow, Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow, Blush or Shimmer Blush - or a combo of any - and fill up the palette.

First, I want to know where are the lip shades? Surely they are in development, as we need our Bobbi Brown Lip Color and Lip Gloss.

Another product I think that needs to be made in pan palette size is a bronzer - oh, and a concealer and powder too. That would be perfect.

Next, as I am looking to come up with my mix of shades, I notice my favorite Bobbi shades are not there. Agh - I cannot live without my Smoke shadow as I use it as my eye liner almost daily! But I suppose I could throw my single pan in separately - if I must;).

Really, this palette system is a fabulous idea as it brings us back to the basics of Bobbi Brown.   I would fill up a four pan palette with shadows and a three pan palette with the blush. Each empty palette costs $10, the shadows sell for $20 each and the blush for $22 each.

I cannot wait to see what more becomes available, because if I know Bobbi, she will have all of her regular shades available and add more products for the ultimate customization.
