Tarte Cosmetics

This week only, from August 17 through August 24, Tarte is having their friends and family sale! You can get 40% off everything on their site – and free shipping if you spend over $60!

To take advantage, just use code “FF09″ at checkout.

Why am I a fan? Well, aside from having fun ideas and great shades, Tarte is all about natural beauty, and are 100% free of parabens, petro-chemicals, phthalates, sulfates and synthetic fragrances, all those things that we really don’t need, and yet so many companies insist on using!

Log onto Gilt Groupe tomorrow – there’ll be a Tarte sale!

I have not been privy to any inside gossip, but you have to assume pretty steep discounts and limited quantities – that much is a given! Sale starts Monday (tomorrow) August 3rd at 9AM (PST)/ 12PM (EST).

I don’t know what products will be on sale, but I know I love Tarte, and I love their message of earth-friendly products in great textures and colors.

So, obviously, I’m almost predestined to like their new launches!

Exclusively for Beauty.com, Tarte just released their Miss Fix-It Palette.

It’s a great little kit for when you are touching-up at work, pre-date, and need the basic essentials.

Included are champagne, turquoise, purple, and teal eyeshadow lipglosses in lilac and pink, and a luminizer – how fabulous is even the presentation??? I’m in love.

Since it is summer, and probably many of you are way more mature about such matters than me, you are probably looking for some hot waterproof looks of your own. Check out this fun video from Tarte, offering a tutorial of their waterproof wonders including eyeQuatic.

Sephora

The EyeQuatic set includes three mermaid-inspired lock & roll creaseless cream & powder shadow duos (Lavendar, Teal, Champagne) a deluxe mini lights, camera, splashes! 4-in-1 natural waterproof mascara, and a free mod-chic head scarf.

My favorite part? It seems to stay in place even when I get all emo and start tearing and rubbing my eyes…and THAT is the biggest godsend of all.

A little known truth, though, is that a good tan can mask cellulite and make you look thinner. But it’s hard for me to go the tanning route naturally–I always just plain burn!

Tarte’s new CelluFIGHT Anti-Celluite Self-Tanner is fab – it’s a hydrating, gradual self-tanner that also has an anti cellulite ability.

i.e.: It does everything I need in one adorable tube!
Basically, it uses plant and bionutrient extracts to help to cellular metabolism, and shed excess fat tissue while the caffeine helps stimulate blood flow. Plus, obvs, it’s a self-tanner, which makes you look tan, yes…but thinner too!

Note to self: It would ALSO make you look thinner if you stop eating those crab cakes.

Tarte just released some awesome tutorial videos to YouTube – a great step-by-step guide to how to use some of their most popular products.

My favorite one so far is the cheek stain how-to video, this is especially true since I am a beauty editor and have always had problems knowing how to best use my stains. Now I can just COPY them! I love the Internet. Check it out:

Pay careful attention: It’s about DABBING, not rubbing. I feel like that’s the mistake I’ve always made!

I’m off to Montauk tomorrow morning, and I’d love to have a sun-kissed flush…but likely won’t unless I fake it. That’s why this is especially well-timed. Tarte’s Cheek Stain is a gel, but it really does work to create a natural flush!

Abaeté’s Laura Poretzky says she was inspired by Les Incroyables, a group of gentlemen who formed in the 18th Century after the French Revolution.

The look was all about a monochromatic, dewy complexion with a touch of color. The eyes had a hint of gloss and the lips were slightly rose. Beauty.com celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow used this inspiration to create an “old-world masculinity meets modern day femme” makeup look for the show. Tina was able to achieve the look with several tarte complexion products such as smooth operator oil-free natural foundation with SPF 20 and the eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer – I totally love!
