So it's been a while since my last post, but I am back now and ready to put something interesting out there for you! I'm quite sure most of you lovely ladies follow make-up pages on Instagram, right?
So a lot of make-up pages/artists post about a brand called Tarte Cosmetics. This is an American brand, but has now become available in the UK via QVC!
This brand is not your usual cosmetics brand, its completely natural so they say! I like the packaging, and the fact that it is made from ingredients found in the Amazon forest so thought I should give it a try and post a review! Surely, some of you would like to know what the fuss is about right?
I purchased the following products from Sephora:
- Lights, camera, lashes & trade 4 in 1 mascara
- Tartelette Amazonian clay matte eyeshadow palette
- Maracuja lip exfoliant
- Maracuja creaseless concealer, shade Tan
- Cheek stain, shade Fearless
- Amazonian butter lipstick, shade Coral Blossom
Lights, camera, lashes & trade 4 in 1 mascara:
The mascara is packaged quite differently to what you'd find in a drugstore brand or in Selfridges etc. It's packaging is actually lush! I really liked this about the product - the mascara wand is a standard wand you'd receive in any mascara product. Check out the image below for the packaging:
Pretty impressive right? To be honest, this mascara had impressed me right away just after the first coat of application. To achieve a look similar to this using my Maybelline Great Lash mascara I would usually have to apply around 3-4 coats of the product. So for me, this mascara is perfect! If you have to apply 3-4 coats to get the fuller looking lashes, then I would definitely recommend this product!
Tartelette Amazonian clay matte eyeshadow palette
This eyeshadow palette I must say is GORGEOUS! The packaging is small, compact and sleek which makes it an easy palette to pop away into your handbag when on the go for quick easy fixes/make-up touch ups! The pigment in these shadows are insanely good. My favourite shades from this palette have to be the deep plums and definitely the black! Check out the photos below!
The swatches are in the same order as the palette itself.
Maracuja lip exfoliant
This lip exfoliant is super cute to carry around in your purse, and is very handy as I have used it for around a week and a half now, the exfoliating feel to this lip product is not harsh on the skin at all which is why I like using it as much as twice daily. It also tastes and feels fresh due to the peppermint oil which is a bonus because I love minty stuff! Try this product out if you definitely have dry, dehydrated lips!
Another product I am super impressed with, although the creaseless part of the name is slightly false for me the product overall is very pigmented and blends into the skin effortlessly. The concealer is definitely a must have for those who like a light, but full coverage concealer! Again, the packing is great and it is small so will not take up too much space in your bag/clutch when on a night out! Check out the before and after photos below!
Before the application of concealer:
After the application of the concealer:
(Do excuse the lighting, as it currently isn't the best in my room!)
Despite the praises, I have given to this concealer so far there are also a few lets downs. The product itself in the tube does not feel as though there is a lot. I received my concealer and found the product to be just about a quarter of the tube which was disappointing for me since I do love this concealer. I did also find it very shiny - but I guess that is down the to Maracuja oil which is used in the product.
If you suffer from dryness around your eyes, and has dry skin this product is definitely recommended as it is very moisterizing for the skin too.
Cheek stain, shade Fearless
I don't think I need to comment on how gorgeous the packing of the product is as you can see that for yourself in the photos posted below! This product is a light, sheer, creamy cheek tint stick and it does actually remind me of the Benefit cheek stains! Again, another product which is easy to pop into the bag when on the go! Check out the photos below:
The stain from the product after being swatched several times:
Amazonian butter lipstick, shade Coral Blossom
The Tarte cosmetic butter lipsticks have got to be my favourite, alongside the eye-shadow palette. The lipstick has a rich creamy feel to it, almost like a lip balm but with the pigment for a sheer lipstick! I adore my coral/pink tones, and this colour is super cute to wear on a daily basis.

The butter lipsticks contain amazingly nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, murumuru butter and jojoba seed oil with vitamin e. So if you are one of the people who suffer from constantly dry, chapped lips - this lip product is perfect! 2 in 1 lipstick and lip balm!
