Tarte-Show your true colors collection&Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage foundation

Hey gals!

I wanted to review the new Tarte-Show our true colors collection. This is a four piece collection that was only available at Ulta and Ulta.com during the month of march. I bought it for $32. Considered it a good steal!

It comes with a cream blush in the shade achiote. I would describe this as a beautiful coral color with pink undertones in it. It applies sheer, so the color is buildable. The packaging is so pretty as well! ( I am a sucker for packaging).


 This set also includes a Lip shine in the shade Smitten. This is a baby pink color. I have dark lips and this color is way to pale on me. But the formula is very nice and it glides on smoothly.
The kit also has a Modern Eyes two sided shadow/pencil. The shadow is a pretty purple-bronze color and the liner is a dark purple. Both of them stayed on for about 8 hours.


Last but not least, the kit comes with a sample size of the Maracuja C-brightener eye cream. I think I got a defected product because there was very little eye cream when I opened it. But the eye cream just reminds me of a more oilier version of Origins' GinZing eye cream.






I also want to review the new Tarte Amazonian Clay full coverage foundation that was released last month on QVC. I believe it is exclusive to QVC right now but will be available later on other websites/stores starting late summer. This foundation retails for about $39 and some change and comes with an airbrush kabuki brush. I think that this foundation is even better than BE's. I love the coverage and the powder is finely milled. The finish goes on natural but as the day progresses it becomes a little dewy on me (which I love). This jar contains .7g of product. The brush is amazing and I think it makes a difference to the application. I would definitely purchase this on QVC as they have this deal. But there are only 5 shades that are available online. This foundation is worth every penny and I would repurchase.
