Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - Charisma

Where have the days gone?  I seriously can't keep track of the days and I can't believe it's almost August!  I've cut back on my makeup shopping but awhile ago I purchased a set from QVC and it came with a gorgeous blush.  I've been wanting to try Tarte's Amazonian Clay blushes for some time and I'm glad I finally took the plunge. 

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush
Shade Purchased:  Charisma (included with a kit)
Price:  $25 USD 
Available at QVC

This blush is a pink shade with tiny shimmer in it.  It reminded me of Nars' Orgasm Blush when I first saw it but this one is pinker and the shimmer is more subtle.  I like this blush a lot and it does show up on my skin.  It lasted about 6 hours on me before it started to fade slightly.  I didn't test the complete 12 hour claim but it lasted through my 9 hour day.

Lovely shade!  I am definitely getting more of these blushes soon.  


Thanks for stopping by!

Product Spotlight - Tarte True Blood Natural Cheek Stain

I love the series True Blood and when I found out there was going to be a team up between the series and Tarte cosmetics, I was ecstatic.  I only purchased one item because I have never shopped from Tarte before and I have been on a major beauty budget as of late.  I decided to get the Cheek Stain and let me tell you, it is gorgeousness in a tube. 

Tarte for True Blood Limited-Edition Natural Cheek Stain
Available at select retailers including Sephora & Tarte
$30 USD
Loves:  It's just so gorgeous in the tube, I love that after it sets I don't feel it on my skin, I love how it is wearable
Hates:  Glitter was a little much on my cheeks and the color wasn't as vibrant as I thought it would be.

The sun really picked up the glitter and although it wasn't extreme, I'm not used to wearing glitter on my cheeks.

Full face with me wearing the stain on my cheeks.

I think I'm going to purchase some more things from Tarte because overall I enjoyed this cheek stain even with the glitter situation.
