Hello makeup lovers,

Today I’m excited to share with you my recent haul/favorites from one of my favorite makeup lines, Tarte Cosmetics! Tarte has been one of those companies that has been growing on me the last couple of years. I know that Tarte has gotten a bad wrap from famous makeup gurus and such in the past but I have to say that I personally love them. Recently they just finished up a sale (which is when I do most of my shopping from them) and I bought a couple of new products & some I needed refills of. Before I share with you all my recent purchases and my favorite products I use by them, I wanted to share why I use their personal website to order their products.

For starters, multiple retailers sell Tarte Cosmetics including Ulta and Sephora. You may be asking, why doesn’t she just order it from there? Well, I’ll tell ya why. Tarte Cosmetics has this really awesome point system on their personal website (tartecosmetics.com) that gives you points just for signing up for their system, browsing their website, creating a profile, following their social media accounts, buying products, and more! Rewards include percentages off purchases, money off purchases (up to $20), Tarte specialty gifts, and also makeup. It may not seem that exciting to you but it only cost 800 points to receive $10 off a purchase which is really awesome. I loved that these points gave such an exclusive coupon that saved me a nice chunk of change. Depending on how much you spend will determine the amount of points you’ll receive. I’ve noticed that the majority of the points given out after purchases have been anywhere from 25-150. With these points, it’s not super difficult to get to the better prizes available. You only need to make a few purchases before you’re ready to use those points on some good coupons or free makeup.

Not only is the point system make it all worth it, the sales that frequent on the site are a big selling point to me as well. Sephora rarely has sales and Ulta usually only includes prestige items in their sales for a very limited time. Tarte Cosmetics website pretty frequently has sales going on and cool promos for their customers. When there isn’t a sale currently going on, I also figured out a way to get a percentage off a purchase. As long as you have an account and are logged in, I usually placed multiple products in my cart on my safari and leave it there for a day or two. In two days, my email will have a coupon code for 15% off to go and buy those products that are still in my cart. So if there isn’t a sale going on, that’s a good trick to keep up your sleeve. I also have a link that I’ll leave right here that will also give you 15% off your purchase (this one you won’t have to wait around for 😉).

Tarte Cosmetics Haul: New products!

(Products are linked directly to the pictures)

Tartiest Pro Eyelashes in LCL (I’ve been eyeing these lashes up for a while and I have to say that they did not disappoint! They are exactly what I was looking for: full, long, and dramatic.)
Deep Dive Cleansing Gel (This face wash is one of the products I needed refilled. I bought the travel sized version in a gift set this Christmas and I’ve been hooked ever since. I tried to use in sparingly until another sale came along so I jumped at the chance to purchase this during this last recent sale. It is a little pricey for a face wash in my opinion but I love the feeling it gives my face so it was worth it to me.)
Girl Boss Goodies Skin & Color Set (I gotta be honest, this set was a tad random to me. (Haha) Why did I get it then? Well for starters, in the gift set I got for Christmas this moisturizer was in it and I loved it. So to be able to get it for $12 plus two extra makeup products I thought that was a steal. Second, I was in need of mascara and I see people raving about this mascara all the time. I figured I would see what all the hype was about and I have to say I’m pretty impressed so far. Lastly, this lip color looked really pretty from the pictures. The lipstick is a mini version and a tad flimsy but overall I like the product.)
Girls Just Wanna Have Sun Bronze & Sun Set (I’ve been all about the bronzing products recently because I’m super pasty. 😂 I need some color added to my body before the sun fully decides to grace us with her presences. Besides, this gift box is on sale for $12 so I thought that was also a steal!)

My Other Tarte Favorites:

1. Busy Gal Brows in Medium Brown (This product is amazing because it’s super easy to apply and only take 5 seconds each eyebrow. It’s truly the busy gals perfect brow product!)

2. Pro To Go Palette

3. Tartiest Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in Bestie

4. Rainforest of the Sea Radiance Drops (Not only is this great for creating a dewy look under your mascara but you can also use this as a highlighter.)

5. Color Splash Lipstick in Pink Sands

6. Rainforest of the Sea Sizzle Eyeshadow Palette (The best thing about this eyeshadow palette is the pigment is super blend-able and it’s suggested that you apply the product with your fingers for the best result. It’s makes it super easy to use for a makeup lover at any level.)

7. Creaseless Concealer in 33N medium

Create this look:

I used all the products from Tarte Cosmetics that I featured above to create this makeup look in this photo.

Following along step by step to create this look:

  1. Starting with the foundation that you’ve already applied, grab your Creaseless Concealer and apply it to your under eyes, bridge of your nose, and in-between your eyebrows feathering up towards your forehead. Blend that into your foundation.
  2. Next, grab your bronzer that came with your Girls Just Wanna Have Sun Set. Apply the bronzer in the area below your cheekbone (the hollow area) from inner ear to area below the center of your eye. You want that line your creating with the bronzer to aim towards your mouth in a downward diagonal .
  3. Make sure your use your setting powder to set your foundation and concealer before moving onto the next step.
  4. Moving onto your brows, grab your Busy Gal Brows and brush it over your eyebrows.
  5. Now grab your Pro To Go Palette and dip your brush into the color ‘crisp’. Place this color into the crease of your eye and buff it in until it’s blended well.
  6. Once you’ve blended ‘Crisp’ in your crease, pull out your Sizzle Palette and apply the color ‘high tide’ to your mid mid to outer corner. Then dip your next finger into ‘kite surf’ and fill in that color from your inner to mid mid. Lastly, dip your finger into ‘playa’ and place it on your brow bone. If you want to place a little bit of sparkle on your brow bone you can dip your finger back into ‘kite surf’ and swipe that below the brow.
  7. Once your eyeshadow is applied, make sure you go back with your fluffy powder brush and brush off that excess powder. Then grab your blush and apply that to the apples of your cheeks.
  8. If you’re an eyeliner type of gal, apply your eyeliner and then grab your mascara included in your Girl Boss Goodies Set. Apply the Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara to your lashes below you apply your fake lashes.
  9. It’s FALSIES time!! Grab your Lights, Camera, Lashes Falsies and apply these beauties to your lash line.
  10. Once your lashes are on, there is only one more step for us to take and that is lipstick. Grab your Tartiest Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in ‘Bestie’ and apply that to your lips first. Once dry, go in with your Color Splash Lipstick in ‘Pink Sands’ and put that over top the matte lip paint. I like to apply it overtop because the color pops over the matte nude.

And just like that, you created a fabulous Tarte makeup look! Have fun creating your own looks with all the different colors these palettes and sets include. I bet you’ll love what Tarte has to offer!
