Review And Swatches of Tarte EyeQuatic Summer Set

June 19, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

This colorful eye-quatic collection has everything you need for balmy summer days. It includes three new, mermaid-inspired lock & roll creaseless cream & powder shadow duos, a deluxe mini Lights, Camera, Lashes! waterproof mascara, and a free mod-chic head scarf. These basics are sure to make a splash in your beauty routine this summer!!

The three different color shadows are perfect for creating a bunch of different hot summer looks. I’m totally loving the Lock & Roll Creaseless Eyeshadows. The set comes with Lavender, Teal and Champagne and I’ve been wearing a different color every day this week.

On Monday, I got brave and decided to try the Teal Lock & Roll Creaseless Eyeshadows. If you know me, you know I don’t normally go for such BRIGHT colors! I’m a neutrals gal – browns, golds, beiges… So slapping teal eyeshadow on is pretty much totally out of character for me…

However, after running around with it all day, I think I kinda like it! It’s not so bad afterall. Check it out…

So what do you think?? Too bright?? I posted a twitpic on Monday when I took these pics and The Fashionable Gal loved it!

I didn’t both putting on any foundation, so excuse my horrible complexion. However, I am wearing another Tarte product: Rise & Shine Plumping Lip Stain in NEW Berrylicious, a warm blackberry mauve color that is perfect for Summer!

If you haven’t heard of Tarte Rise & Shine before, it’s a gel-based tint for lips on one end and a lip-plumping gloss on the other end. The vanilla flavored gloss gives the appearance of fuller lips, for a pout that’s pretty and polished. And what’s really nice is even after the gloss wears off, the lip tint remains.

Click on the picture to the right there to enlarge so you can see the color. It’s really nice!

The Tarte EyeQuatic Waterproof Summer Essentials Set along with the Lip Stain and an Eye Pencil is pretty much all you need for Summer. Master a few Summer looks using this kit and wear them with all your fabulous warm-weather outfits!

Fight Cellulite With Tarte Sunless Tanner

June 16, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

Do double-duty beauty: get tanned and taut in one easy step! Achieve a natural, healthy glow with a hydrating, gradual self-tanner that works on all skintones. CelluFIGHT™ is formulated with skinTIGHT™ complex, a proprietary anticellulite complex that firms and tones skin while improving elasticity.

Plant and bionutrient extracts boost cellular metabolism, shedding excess fat tissue, and caffeine helps stimulate blood flow, immediately reducing “the orange-peel” effect on problem areas such as waist, hips, thighs, and buttocks. This anticellulite, natural self-tanner contains clinically proven antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that prevent the long-term buildup of fat tissue under the skin.

As a self-tanner, it’s works quite well too. I just used it all over my arms and upper back too and within 3 days of use, produced a beautiful bronze glow that looked quite natural and lasted after several showers as well. I was very pleased with the product, but do wish it was a little less expensive, as I want to slather it over my entire body! If you save it just for your hips, butt, and legs 1 bottle would probably last you all summer, if you used it approx 8 times a month.

Price: $40

May 12, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

I just got some new products from the Tarte Summer 2009 collection so I’ve been playing with the products this afternoon…

Tarte Rise & Shine Plumping Lip Stain in NEW Berrylicious, a warm blackberry mauve color that is perfect for Summer!

Here are my lips with just the lipstain on…
