Hello everyone! Today I have this pretty awesome exfoliating stick from Tarte to share with you.  This is the Tarte Frxxxtion Stick 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser . The one I have is a travel size from their Limited-Edition Scrub Clean Cleansing Set ($12), but the full-size retails at $22.00.

Hey everyone! I am here with another Holiday Set to share with you all. From the 25+ Holiday Sets Tarte Cosmetics have come out with this year, this set, Double Duty Beauties Discovery Set , is the one I decided to purchase, and I do not regret my decision at all. I purchased this set at Ulta for $36.00, but this have the retail value of $79.00.

Hello beauty lovers! Today I have for you a well-known and well-loved mascara from Tarte Cosmetics, the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara . I am sure this mascara is no stranger to you. It is a Tarte Classic. It even received an award from Allure "The Beauty Expert" in 2016 for Reader's Choice.  Since I had not tried this mascara until now, I thought why not let you know my thoughts on this famous mascara and let you know if I think it's worth the hype or not. 

Hi everyone, today we will be talking about skincare, and these two items happen to be from Tarte Cosmetics; the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Cleansing Gel ($25/5 fl. oz) + the Scrublet ($7). This is what I have been cleansing my skin with for the past month, and I have been loving this Duo.

This Tarte Rainforest By the Sea Water Foundation is made up of 20% water! Guess what?! I really like it!

Hello everyone! It's been a long minute since the launch of the Tarte Cosmetics Shape Tape Contour Concealer . Boy, did this product launch off! Everyone and their grandma has raved about it, how it was the best brightening concealer of the year. This concealer is so popular that Tarte claims, 1 is sold every 26 seconds! So of course I "eventually" picked it up, due to my increasing curiosity.  I have put it to the test for a about a week now, and here are my thought on this "magical" Shape Tape Concealer.

I must confess, I don't go to the gym...but I am a makeup junkie and I love value kits...and I am a bit obsessed with Tart Cosmetics at the moment, so I had to buy this little set. The Tart Gym Bag Grabs Athleisure Essentials Kit ~$29.00 (Value $49.00) The main reason why I decided to buy this set was for the full-size Tarte Lifted Mascara . On its own, it retails at $21.00. So why not shell out $8.00 more dollars to try a few more products that I may have not have tried out otherwise. Sounds reasonable to me.

I really don't have much to say about this moisturizer since I do not like it. I find the consistency to be thin (most likely because this product is 70% water), and not moisturizing. However, it does pack on about a pound of shimmer on your face though! So if you want to shine like a diamond, this may be something you will be interested in. I however, am not. Applying foundation on top can only do so much with muting the amount of shimmer, at the end of the day, you still look like a shimmer-fest.  So why did I buy it?

Tarte claims that this Lifted Sweatproof Mascara is a waterproof mascara that will not smudge, no matter how much you sweat at the gym, and even if you decide to take a few laps in the pool.  Say What!!!! You can swim with this mascara on! SOLD! GUESS WHAT?!

Here is another pro to go palette from tarte Cosmetics. It is the miniature size of the  tarte Tarteist PRO Glow Highlight & Contour Palette , retailing at $45.00. The larger palette comes with four highlighting powders, one cream contour, and one powder contour. The mini version, the Tarteist PRO Glow to Go Highlight & Contour Palette retails at $23.00, where you get two powder highlighters and one powder contour. Like the eyeshadow palettes, both palettes have their exclusive shades, so you are able to purchase both without having overlapping colors, which I think is genius in a business standpoint.

This travel-friendly, $23.00  Tarte Tartiest PRO To Go Amazonian Clay Palette is a great way to test the waters of Tarte's New Tartiest Pro line without having to commit in buying the full size eyeshadow palette. The great part is if you still want to get the full, $53.00 PRO Amazonian Clay Palette , you won't be getting any duplicate shades from both palettes because this PRO to go has its own 6 exclusive shades.

Maracuja Oil is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin C for firmer, brighter, and smoother skin; it helps promote active skin recovery and rejuvenation while delivering maximum hydration...and I am a huge fan, especially when the season has turned cold and dry. The scent is not very enduring, but I like this oil (can I say it?) better than Argan Oil.

This is such a neat Holiday Lip set! It comes with 5 Deluxe Tarteist Lip Crayons and 5 Deluxe Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paints . This retails at $46.00 with a value of $70.00. It didn't take me a lot of convincing to place an order despite the mass amount of negative reviews on the Sephora website. The complaints were mostly geared toward the lip liners. Many stated that the liners were dry, have no pigment, and crumble easily.

I'm on the hunt for the perfect travel eyeshadow palette. I want something that is easy to use (as in shadow blendability), have beautiful colors, and is compacted enough to not take up too much space since I want to be able to carry all my belongings on the plane with me.   RELATED LINK: My Travel Channel "WANDERLUSTWITHALICE" So when I saw this  tartelette  tease palette  for $21.00, I knew I had to try it. I have heard a lot of great things about Tarte Eyeshadows, so this small, mini palette was the perfect opportunity to try a new brand, and to check off something I "needed" in my travel list. 

Yes, this cute Ornament Set is part of Tarte's Holiday Collection, but it doesn't mean you can't buy these in their full sizes at $24.00 each, (I believe "Black" is the only color option in this line for now) and it comes with a full size brush!  This cute little set is $19.00 with the value of $28.00, and you get to try out two verses one color, which is the reason on why I bought this. Tarte has another Holiday Set "Wing Workers Deluxe Tarteist" Eyeliner Set" ($35.00) that comes with four mini eyeliner colors and a full-size brush. After trying these liners out, I got to say I am a fan. It does smudge at the corners, but I love the creamy formula and innovative packaging so much that I'm okay with a little smudge.  RELATED POST: [Holiday 2016] Tarte Cosmetics Tarte "Works of Tarte" Color Wheel Amazonian Clay Blush Palette Review Tarte claims these Clay Paint Liners to be waterproof and offers a seamless, no-budge...

I am over the moon with this palette! I usually do not buy any of Tarte's Holiday sets because I find them to be quite bulky, and frankly they all come in gimmicky, cutesy packaging that I find impractical. I know that I will end up not using it once the holiday season have passed. However, this Tarte Cosmetics Color Wheel 10-Blush Palette is simply wonderful!

"An innovative, gradual bronzing elixir powder by the miracle of Maracuja"                                                                                 ~ Tarte Cosmetics ~ Tarte Maracuja Bronzing Serum, $47.00.

I love the fact that Tarte describes the art of applying mascara to painting because when you think about it, you really are painting your lashes, and in Tarte's case, you are painting on an ultra black pigment made of minerals that will not only soften, but nourish your lashes as well.

I am a huge fan of Sephora Favorites Value Kits because you get to try out a bunch of goodies for a great value. Recently Sephora has come out with a new Beauty Essential Kit with products in different shades of pink with is perfect for Spring.  It is call, "PAINT IN PINK" . (Retails at $40.00 with a value of $122.00!)
