Review: Tarte Amasonian Clay waterproof Brow Moose



Hi everyone! As some of you may know I am a brow junkie. I love having shapely and defined brows all day , everyday! I picked this gem up at  Hautelook sale a while back and I have been using it ever sense I got it. This retails for $28 at full price, which is a little excesses for such a small item... This little jar holds 3.4g of product but it was on sale for $12 on the site. This came with a double ended spoolie brush. One end is a dense angle brush that is firm and the other a spoolie brush used to comb and blend the product through the brows. 
This tiny little thing packs a punch and I am happy to say that a little goes a long way. This waterproof formula last forever on my brows and I have barely made a dent. I have been using this for a good while, I'd say about 3 months and I have barely broke though the top layers. I still have a almost full jar and this is my everyday brow product. This hasn't shown any signs of drying out at all, there is no separation from the sides of the jar and the texture has stayed the same. In the jar its creamy yet dry (wax like) so when it is applied to the brows it holds like a wax cream and dries to a  powder finish. When it is finished setting it gives a very clean defined brow,yet very soft  as if I were to use powder to fill them in. It holds my brow hairs in place all day and the color never fades. 
This product is waterproof and is a god send in the summer. Humidity, sweat and water proof. I love this. With the rate of how slowly I am using this product up this will last me a long time so the price tag isn't so bad. I think its worth it and I will definitely repurchase this full price. I just love it that much
I hope this review was helpful guys!

Review: Tart Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush: Peaceful, Exposed

 Today I want to share my newest addiction, my Amazonian clay blushes from Tarte! I have heard so many good things about these blushes that I wanted to try them. These retail for 25$ a piece and are available at Ulta, Sephora, and Tarte.com
The colors I have are Peaceful which I got in an old collection a long time ago and Exposed, on recommendation from one of my favorite YouTube bloggers, Jen frmheadtotoe.
These blushes are long lasting and highly pigmented and I love these. These are infused with amazonian clay and are formulated to benefit the skin. I'm happy that Tarte did that and made a product with the consumer in mind but in all reality the skin benefits this blush has is not that effective.
 I really like the packaging of this product. The exterior colors correspond with the interior product which makes it really easy to find and identify certain colors. The product itself is embossed beautifully with Tarte's symbol.  

 Peaceful
This is a warn soft peach shade with subtle gold shimmer. I love this color. On light medium skin tones with a yellow undertones a peachy color blush looks beautiful and this blush gives my skin a beautiful wash of color and pretty golden sheen. This blush is shimmery but it just makes the skin look glowy and healthy. 

 Exposed
As this picture shows I have given this blush a run for its money, I practicably used this religiously for 5 months.  This is a matte nude pink blush, it is a gorgeous color that I found to be a great blush and contour color. I purchased this blush because one of my favorite bloggers recommendation this for a blush and contour high-bred product and I can not agree more. This is a  beautiful mauve pink with brown in it so it acts as a great contour color for my skin tone and I love using this. 
Exposed is on the left and Peaceful on the right.
On me this blush lasts a very long time, I have oily skin so blushes tend to fade away through out the day but these lasted all day and still looked great. I don't think that this will really last 12 hour on the skin and I have no intention of trying that out but this is most defiantly a long lasting blush.
Overall these blushed are worth the money. These are one of my favorite blushes in my collection. They are highly pigmented, long lasting and exceptional quality. These are staple blushes in my collection and are used on the daily.

Review: Tarte LipSurgence: Sweet

 
Hello beautifuls, this is a review on Tarte LipSurgence in the color Sweet, this came part of "Glow your Way to Gorgeous" 8 piece makeup set.  This color is exclusive to the collection. This retails for $24 at any location were Tarte is sold and online. Tarte  describes this lip product as a "natural lip tint"  this has jojoba oil, vitamin C, peppermint oil, and Vitamin E. This product is full of ingredients that are great for the skin. The only thing it is missing is some SPF. The product is packaged like a big crayon so it is very easy to apply because you can just draw it on, which offers a lot of control. To dispense the product you just twist the bottom up and down,
The color Sweet is a light strawberry pink color with gold shimmer. The gold shimmer is very understated so its like a sheen of shine. On my lips is works like a "my lip but better" color. Which I like. I find this to be moisturizing so sometimes I use it like a chap stick. The color is very shear so it is just a tint of color. But I do find it to be fairly long lasting. And when it does fade it is from the inner out, so I still have some color around the edges of my lips and gold shimmer.

 Overall I like it, the color is very pretty and adds a  pink tint to my lips. I like the minty taste and tingle it leaves on mu lips and the fact that Tarte puts ingredients into their products to benefit us, the consumers. When I use this my lips feel moisturized and supple. The only thing negative is that for $24 this is very pricey for one item, and for me is very hard to justify. I would only get more if I really liked the colors or if I had money to burn.
