TINte Cosmetics is a line that is love-inspired, and the simplistic packaging and elegant detailing reflect that. Founder Stacy Provines was inspired by her romance with her finace Matthew, and she used it in a creative way by putting together a line of lovely beauty products. “When I was little,” Stacy explains, “I used to play in my mom’s Indigo Earth powder and steal her sample lip sticks…bu tmy favorite was always flavored lip glosses.” It is clear that Stacy’s love for cosmetics started early on, and she was never afraid to try and dig into her mom’s beauty goodies.

It was only a matter of time before she grew up and created her own line where she wants to make women feel great about themselves. TINte is a throwback to a feeling of a simpler time, one everyone cherishes–”the essence of youth and freedom.” Stacy says, “I wanted the women of today to apply our products and remember the simpler times. The memory of a scent can trascend you from stress filled days, back to a sweet memory of childhood and innocence.”

I recently tried three different TINte products: Flavored Lip Color in Peppermint, Flavored Lip Shine in Double Bubble, and Shimmering Face Pearl in Vanilla Sky. Plus, TINte is offering Temptalia readers 20% off when they purchase from the TINte website using the code “GLOSS” – how awesome is that?

What’s your favorite facial feature [on you!]? What feature of yours do you love to play up? Do you have pouty lips, wide eyes, adorable nose, envy-inspiring cheekbones – tell us!

Tweezerman has this darling travel set with their bestselling point and slant tweezers.  If you think travel size is too small, think again — I swear by Tweezerman slant tweezers, and I only own the travel size. These babies are so precise and easy to use. The compact size gives you more control to get last stray brow hair gone (for at least a few days, ha!).  Tweezerman will donate $1 for every set sold towards breast cancer awareness. $25 @ Nordstrom’s
