How cute is this Pamper & Prep Makeup Ready Set from Tarte Cosmetics? I recently bought it when the sale was 20% off plus $5 via Ebates for my entire purchase from this haul (4 items...not too shabby, right?). Aren't sales and savings/rebates apps awesome?! Plus I earn reward points each time I shop through their site. More on that later, though. Right now I want to show you what I got. I am excited!
Back to my pretty set: It is an eye cream, face oil, & mosturizer that hydrates, nourishes, and preps! It is packed with vitamins, fatty acids, antioxidants, and maracuja oil providing my skin with natural softness. A little goes a long way. My face has been feeling good and well nourished. I needed this, especially with this hot weather and dry winds that we get in my area. This is good for daily use, and it is perfect for when I travel. I hate it when I have to use something else during my travels just because I wasn't able to fit my original products in my bags due to their sizes, and I hate taking them out of their original jars to put them in those "travel-size" containers. I feel they go to waste!
I am happy with my little pamper & prep set!
The next item I purchased was the Rainforest of the Sea 4-in-1 Setting Mist.
A pretty bottle that is able to do four things in one! This is definitely a crowdpleaser! It is true with what it says it does. It is a primer, hydrating mist, makeup setting spray, and refreshes your skin. I like to use it for all the above. Misting my face throughout the day to give me a fresh feel is my favorite.
My final purchase for this haul:
I love lipstick, but for some reason lipstick does not love me. It disappears within the hour after applying! I needed something that not only was a pretty color, but something that was going to stay ON MY LIPS. So I looked into lip stains, and found these. I first received a sample a long time ago in a birthday bag, and this lip stain became, and has been since, my favorite lip product. They have so many vibrant, gorgeous colors to choose from. They are fairly easy to apply. And they last a long time on your lips, making your lips look divine!
Take note on lip stains: you need some prepping before you apply so you can get the best look possible that will last. Here are some tips straight from Tarte Cosmetics:
- Use a lip scrub to prep and condition lips prior to each application.
- Use the lip paint's precision brush wand to trace on longwearing matte color. First, use the felt tip to contour lips by tracing along the upper and lower lip line. Then, shade inside the lip line using the flat applicator surface.
- The quick dry formula will set in seconds and adhere to lips all day.
Now that we got the tips down, you can now play with your lip stains and see which is your favorite color. I haven't really boiled that part down, yet. There are too many pretty colors. But, soon as I choose my fave, I will definitely update you!
I appreciate when a company doesn't add a bunch of harsh chemicals to their products. There are so many chemicals out there that are harming us, in and out, as well as our environment. With Tarte Cosmetics, I don't worry about wondering if I will rash or have any sort of reaction. Their beauty products tend to be cruelty free, paraben free, gluten free, sulfate free, and I believe some of it is vegan, too. I support small businesses, especially when they are natural, non gmo, and are fighting for a good cause. But there will always be a place in my heart for bigger companies that care about me, too.
If you haven't shopped Tarte Cosmetics, you should. They have a lot of good products and they always have sales! Plus, you can earn reward points which can lead to free stuff when signing up for their Reward Program! Check them out today, and let me know what you think!
