Beauty Product Reviews

Great for those who are fair-skinned - Not so great for sensitive skin.

I picked this up in hopes that it would help conceal the small amount of rosacea that I get below my jawline. Since I am very pale with freckles, I wanted to opt for something besides concealer because it tends to make me look blotchy.... I must say it surprised me. I applied this product over a thin layer of foundation, enough to tone down the redness a bit, and tapped (which I think gives better application) it over the spot. It worked pretty well! Didn't cover it completely of course, but definitely helped. I also recommend it for those who WANT to conceal their freckles. When I applied this to my entire face for an experiment, It almost completely camouflaged them... HOWEVER, this brings me to the MAJOR CON.... After a few days of use, it actually irritated my skin. The redness got worse and started to get really itchy. I am very allergic to Nickel (a certain type of metal, found in cheap jewlery), So I read the ingredients in this product and discovered that it contains ALUMINUM and TITANIUM!! (Which carry traces of Nickel) It also contains Talc, which a lot of people are allergic to, also. Seriously, if you have sensitive skin or have allergies, DO NOT try this product.

Nice color, but cakey

I have the matte version in Fever. Honestly, I did a lot of research on this product before I bought it because it's just so expensive. (Like pushing $30). I wanted to find the perfect red lip that would last a long while, and since people were raving about it, I was pretty convinced that it would be a good investment. However, It was a bit disappointing. It felt very very cakey and weird on my lips. As soon as I put it on, the texture just bothered me so much that I wanted to take it off. It felt like my lips were coated with like icing from a cake or something, lol. Not cute! Also, it bleeds really easily and doesn't last long. The pros on this product are that it tastes minty and has a really good pigment. Tarte is also great for not testing on animals and using a vegan formula, which I love. I would probably recommend the STAINS more so than I would for these, because they are very moisturizing and actually last a bit longer (In my opinion)

PERFECT! -An illuminator, bronzer, and blush all in one!

I am extremely fair-skinned with freckles - So It's hard for me to use bronzers without it looking too orange or weird-looking. I've had so much trouble in the past with bronzers because I was convinced that it looked fake on me. HOWEVER, this product came around and has definitely changed my view! The mix of colors creates the PERFECT balance, Like an illuminator, bronzer, and blush all in one. It makes for a really natural look for anyone... Even for me and my pale skin! I also love the packaging, The leopard print doesn't fade really which I love, and the mirror is pretty big for a small-sized compact. I definitely recommend this product!
