Tarte Cosmetics: Best Face Forward beauty kit review
I ordered this new beauty set from QVC by Tarte Cosmetics which is an American brand. Now I just have a thing for American make-up products but I've never tried any of their products before and wanted to know what all the hype was about. So I was watching QVC last week and when I watched the launch of the products I thought OK so I need to really try this brand out, plus it was a great deal not to be missed only for £38.40 plus P & P. Although the price has gone up I feel it's still a great value. You can purchase this set on here:http://www.qvcuk.com/tarte-6-Piece-Best-Face-Forward-Make-Up-Collection-&-Bag.product.208035.html. Let me tell you my first impression on using the kit.
When I opened the box I was like wow I loved the colour combination and design of the products and the make-up bag looked so cute. Apparently it's only designed for QVC so it's limited edition people!! You can use the make-up bag to put your everyday make-up products in or take it on a holiday. I really needed one like this for my holiday I just came back from India last month.
Anyway's let's get on with the products. You'll get one Amazonian clay eye-shadow quad which contains 4 beautiful warm/neutral colours: 2 matte (Ivory Little Thing and Love Runs Deep) and 2 shimmery shades (Heart of Gold and on Copper the World). The colours are very well pigmented and are designed to mattify and control oil for more of a long-wear because of the natural ingredients they use from the Amazon rainforest. This is also limited edition so you can only get it if you buy the whole set.
You will love the 4 in 1 mascara called: Lights, Camera, Lashes which curls, lengthens, adds volume and conditions your natural lashes as it's infused with plant botanicals and waxes which will protect your lashes unlike other mascaras which can damage your lashes. If you just apply one coat on both lashes I think it will do the trick as I applied the mascara on one eye first, then dipped it back into the product to apply on my other eye, but it clumped as there was enough product left previously.
Now my favourite product from the kit would be the coloured clay CC primer. They have 5 different shades: fair, light, medium, tan and deep. You can match the shades available to your skin tone, but it doesn't have to match exactly same as you can apply foundation over it. My shade is medium. At first, when I applied the primer onto my face I thought it was slightly dark for me and made me look like I had a tan, but once I blended it on, it was a perfect tone for me and I didn't even have to wear foundation over. The texture was similar to the Benefit Porefessional primer and I love using that product as a base. The design of the actual product is like a hourglass wheel, it has one tone of purple then the colour of your skin, then goes onto a green shade and finally another skin shade. There are many benefits for you using this primer. The specially designed stick helps to blur imperfections, helps with discolouration and eliminates redness. It doesn't feel like you're wearing anything, it really let's your skin breathe. Your skin will look and feel more smooth after applying this product. It's also great for sensitive skin or older skin as it consists of natural oils and natural preservatives which are friendly for your skin.
I've never been fond of blushers that are combined together with a bronzer and highlighter so the Coloured Clay Bronzer Blush in Pink Bronze would be my least favourite product. Overall it does give you a sun-kissed look if that's what you prefer. I just have a certain way of applying a bronzer, blusher and highlighter separately.
I love the Double Ended Complexion Brush, one side is like a kabuki flat brush which you can use to buff the foundation onto your skin with, and the other end is tapered so you can use it to apply the blusher or use it for contouring. The bristles are super soft, outstanding quality and feel great on the skin.
Last but not least is the Lip Surgence lip crème in Vintage and the shade they provided is Honeysuckle Pink. Upon applying this product it feels and tastes absolutely great and looks flattering. It doesn't make your lips feel dry or chapped, it's very creamy and doesn't feel like you have anything on. It's infused with vitamins C & E, plus peppermint and jojoba oil. For those of you who have come across jojoba oil will know the marvellous benefits to the skin after using it. Jojoba oil is a liquid wax which is extracted from the seed of the jojoba plant. It's greatly used to boost hydration whether used on the lips, on your skin or for other parts of your body.
Please check out the quick make-up demo I did on my YouTube channel on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R7bxjeeJxQ&feature=youtu.be. I created the whole look using this kit and the only additional products I used was the Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow pomade in chocolate shade and the Benefit Erase Paste in medium to hide my dark circles.
