New Tarte Colored Clay 7-Pc Collection on QVC!

Hey everyone!

Last night Tarte released their new value set on QVC.  The new set is called the Tarte Colored Clay 7-Pc Collection and is exclusive to QVC.  Now Tarte releases these sets a few times a year on QVC and they are usually the TSV(todays special value) and the set is usually about $59 on the first day.  The price is originally $72.50 and it is now $65.96.  You get seven products and a bonus makeup bag. The set comes in five different shades: fair, light, medium, tan, and deep.

The cool thing about this set is that every product is FULL SIZED and the total value of this set is $202.  I definitely think this is a good value and I also think that Tarte sets on QVC are just generally good values, you get a lot of bang for your buck.

The first product that comes in the set is the new Colored Clay SPF 15 Liquid Foundation.  Now this foundation is 0.68 oz and comes in a jar like container.  I am not sure if this product will eventually be sold separately but right now I believe it is exclusive to this set.  This foundation supposedly is, "lightweight liquid foundation easily smooths over skin to deliver a satiny, full coverage finish."  This product retails for $39, and comes in five shades.  This set also includes a Bamboo foundation brush that retails for $30 on its own.  It seems to be a nice dense angled brush.  I have gotten Tarte brushes in other sets I have purchased and I have to say that I am really impressed with them and they are really nice quality.

The next product in the set is the CC Primer which is a stick primer that is suppose to help brighten skin, neutralize redness and discoloration, and blue imperfections.  This primer is 0.51 oz and retails for $34.  This is one of the few products that can be purchased separately at Sephora, Ulta, or on Tarte's website.
Then it comes with a LipSurgence Lip Gloss in True Love, which is a sheer raspberry shade.  This retails for $19 and is 0.27 oz.

You also get Tarte's lights, camera, LASHES mascara in black and a clay eyeliner in black.  These both retail for $19 and you can buy the mascara at Ulta, Sephora, or on Tarte's website.

The last item is the Clay Blush Bronzer in Pink Bronze.  This is suppose to brighten your look and you can build you perfect layer of customized warmth.  This retails for $27 and I believe it is also exclusive to this set.  You also get a pink bonus makeup bag that on it's own retails for $15.

Tell me what you think of this kit in the comments below and if it's something you would be interested in purchasing.  I purchased mine last night and I will be doing a review on my YouTube channel when I get it.

First Impression: L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder Foundation

I have been on a quest to find a nice light coverage foundation for weeks now.  I have tried a few but none of them have worked for me.  A lot of the time they either looked cakey or I couldn't find a shade that matched me.

I picked up this foundation when I was at Target about a week ago.  I hadn't originally planned on buying this.  I was going to get the L'Oreal True Match Dream Lumi but they were all out of the cool shades.  

This foundation claims to get you "the ultimate un-makeup look."  It also says that "revolutionary liquid transforms on contact, leaving a soft powder like finish. This foundation is so amazingly lightweight it's like wearing no makeup at all!  Just shake and apply- it's magic!"  Now to claim a product is "magic" is a pretty big claim to make.

  So my first thoughts when I put this one that it was really easy to apply.  It was blendable and took me no time to put it on.  I also noticed that it dried a bit fast but when it did it had a nice powder finish.  It felt lightweight and my skin did feel soft.  The shade turned out to be to yellow for me so I am going to pick up a shade with cooler undertones the next time I stop at Target.  I also noticed that it did accentuate a few dry patches that I have so I'm not sure how well this would work on people with dry skin.  As far as it  being "magic," I'm not so sure about that but it does give a nice natural look.

A con about this product is that there is no pump and this product is very liquidy so a pump would have been nice.  I am unsure about the lasting time due to the fact that I didn't wear it long.  I definatly will be buying this foundation in another shade, it has a nice powder finish, it's lightweight, and it's a great light coverage foundation.  Definatly recommend!

Comment down below and tell me if you have tried this product!  And if so please tell me your thoughts on it.  What is your favorite light coverage foundation?

MOTD: 8/31/13

Today I wasn't really in the mood to do to much with my makeup so I did a really simple look.  

The first thing I did was prime my eyelids with this mini Urban Decay Primer Potion that I got with one of my palettes.  

After I primed my lids I used a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Strawberry Milk that I just bought the other day(comment if you want me to do a haul) all over my lids and did a tiny bit of blending with my finger. 

Moving on to mascara I used the Maybelline Mega Plush and that's all I did to my eyes.  

I then used the NYX Brow Cake in Blonde, taking the lighter of the two powder shades and filled in my brows.  Then I took the wax using the small angled brush it comes with and used that to set my brows so they stay in place. 

After I finished with my eye and brow makeup I moved on to my face.  I don't wear foundation everyday, I mainly use it for special occasions because I have pretty good skin.  I will use a BB cream though if I want to look a bit more "put together."  I just used a bit of my e.l.f. Tone Correcting Concealer in Light Beige on a few blemishes I have.

Then for my lips I decided to use my new NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo.  It's a really nice dark pink color, it's hard to describe but it's really pretty.  This lip product is suppose to be in between a lipstick and a lipgloss.  I don't  want to go into to much detail but if you want me to do a review comment down below.

Hey everyone!  It feels like it's been forever since I last posted but in actuality it's been less than a week.  I am writing this post to tell you guys about upcoming blog posts and what's going on.  So I start up school again tomorrow and that means I will be busier and will have less time to blog.  I have decided to post at least twice a week.  Now I'm not going to be posting on the same days every week but I'm just going to try to post twice a week.  Now if you follow me on Twitter(my username is down below) you would know that I ask if you guys would be interested in me posting a Sephora, Mac, and Ulta haul.  I never made it to any of those stores yesterday unfortunately but I am going to the mall later today and hopefully I will have a haul post up by at the latest tomorrow night.  So if you want to see me do a certain  kind of post please feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments down below.  If you have  any questions you can also leave them in the comments down below also.  And if you didn't know you can find me on Bloglovin, I have put a widget on the side of my blog that enables you to follow me on that site.
