Sweet on Tarte!

If you're looking for barely-there, flawless makeup coverage, Tarte Cosmetic's new 7-piece Natural Complexion Collection set is the kit for you! Available exclusively at Sephora, this paraben and sulfate-free set includes a primer, anti-aging foundation, 4-in-1 concealer, mineral pressed powder, mineral powder bronzer, foundation brush and travel bag.

Since I'm such a sucker for sets, I was anxious to try this collection because a primer was included - which I've always wanted to test. I wanted to see if applying it really makes a difference when it comes to setting your makeup. To my surprise, it seemed to keep my makeup looking fresh while keeping my oily skin under control too. Because I try to be as low-maintenance as possible, I probably wouldn't use the primer daily, but it seemed to work well. The concealer and foundation were both light-weight, which is always a plus. The bronzer gave my skin a subtle, glistening glow, but wasn't too red like many others I've tried.

I've been a fan of Tarte's cheek stains for years, but had never tried any of their other products, but now I'm a fan of the entire line!


Tarte Cosmetics 7-Piece Natural Complexion Collection in Deep available at www.sephora.com for $54 (a $157 value)

    I've never tried any Tarte products, but that set looks fabulous! Does it come in different shades/complexions?

    I have yet to try Tarte cosmetics but, as I'm sliding deeper into the make-up game (and my sliding deeper I mean actually wearing make-up every once in a while) I definitely need to give them a try.

    I've never tried Sephora's products, but I am hearing so much about them that I will have to take a closer look. *note to self: stop into Sephora the next time that you are killing time downtown.*

    I am a long time fan of tarte's cheek stains and lipglosses, and have been oogling over the their foundation products - truly an eco conscious option to traditional toxicant foundations!

    I've never tried Tarte. I'm dying to, but am hesitant to spend so much since I'm extremely sensitive to products for my face. I really would love to though.
