Hello Kittens!

Today I will review all the stuff I got from Tarte Cosmetics! I think I've definitely formed some personal opinions and am ready to review the products I got for my birthday!

First one, lets dooooooo.....

this little puppy right here! 'Tarte's Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation' After being on the fence with many reviews I had read and a little iffy on the mousy texture I had heard about, I really do love this foundation! First day I wore it a girl told me I had such gorgeous skin, and I was like "Thanks! It's not my skin really though, it's my new foundation! The Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour foundation!" I don't know about 12 hour wear, ONLY because I don't think I have worn it for 12 hours yet, maybe 8 or 9 hours so far, but with those hours I have not had to touch up at all, I don't have the patchy look where some foundations are separating from the skin. I'm pretty darn  thrilled about this product. I will definitely say its full coverage and though I don't have many scars, other then the occasional piercing scar, I do like to have the doll, porcelain type finish, just a personal preference! And I got the shade Ivory, where just for a reference of a few different brands shades, I am definitely the lightest shade in mostly all foundations I've ever tried. So Mac, I'm NC15, Kat Von D I am the sadly discontinued, but! I believe it is being brought back, from what I see on Sephora's website, I am a L42, Revlon color stay I am 110 Ivory. some brands to compare! So I will have to say I have yet to discover a negative about this foundation! I will have to give it a 5 out of 5 butter tartes! <3

Moving right along, we have...

'Tarte's Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation' And I know I started talking about this in the un-boxing post, so I will continue on with that, I don't usually use just a powder foundation by itself, but I did try one side of my face with this, and the other with the 12-hour foundation, and I was super impressed as well, I wasn't too sure on the color, but after buffing the product into my skin a bit more, I liked it a lot, I got fair light neutral. The coverage is definitely build-able, and I would say a medium coverage personally. It wore quiet nicely through out the day and again no touch ups needed! I do have normal/dry skin, so I don't usually have to worry about getting oily, with the sun so hot, sometimes I get the sweat beads, but I have no noticed it being "eaten" away by my sweat, so in my mind, that's a huge bonus! I always find so many reviews for oily skin types, I have had a hard time finding reviews for normal, or dry, or both, I have of course found some, but I just notice way more for oily skin types. Any ways, love this as well, maybe not as much as the 12 hour foundation, but maybe that's because I am not used to using just powder foundations. Still I will have to give this little gem a 5 out of 5 butter tartes as well!

Then we have,

The 'Rain-forest After Dark Limited-edition Colored Clay Eye and Cheek Palette' So I am definitely in love with the blush, which is called 'unleashed' then there is a bronzer, which also doubles as a gorgeous crease color, a highlight shade, and 6 beautiful eye-shadow shades.  The swatches in the picture are just one touch of the shades so pretty pigmented, very build-able as well. With 3 matte and 3 shimmer shades this palette is very versatile, and the cutest packaging, that I know my sister will love. (Hi Michelle!) Love them, no complaints, no fallout easy to apply, great limited edition item for any make-up addicts collection! Again, this may get repetitive, but 5 out of 5 butter tartes!

The mini mascara's!

So the 'MultiplEye Lash Enhancing Primer'  I don't usually do eye primers, I tried one eye with and one eye with out the primer with the Lights, Camera lashes mascara and there was only a small difference, that I could see at least, nothing that a second coat of mascara wouldn't fix! So it's nice to have in the set, but I would give it 3 out of 5 butter tartes. 

The 'Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara', I am on board with the hype surrounding this one! I have been in-love with 'Too Faced's Better then Sex Mascara" but this one may have to battle it out for my affection now too, I'll be bouncing back and fourth with who to use, or I can just use both! why not. A good old 5 out of 5 butter tartes is on this one for sure!

'Lights, Cameras, Flashes Statement Mascara' rides in on it's horse as a strong competitor, but I will have to say a second place competitor.. I like the lights, camera, lashes 4-in-1 Mascara more, but only like .5 butter tartes less! So she will receive a 4.5 out of 5 butter tartes from me on this day, August.9.2014.

The Rim Liner! I like, a good water line eyeliner twist up pencil. It's a nice deep black, just how I like my waterline, when I do use eyeliner in my waterline or tight line

Lets make a motion to see the sample I got with the purchase!

So as previously stated on the entry below this one, I have given this sample size to my amazing manager, and she loves me for it, even though we joked how it will cover one foot. (Not really though, we know) So for me I will not be giving this product any butter tartes, well maybe 5 butter tartes for free samples :)

Alright, so that's my thoughts on these products and how they worked for me. As always, would love to hear any personal opinions on any of these products, as well of any that I should try!

Thanks Kittens!
