Anyway, I thought I would blog about some new products in the Tarte line. Their CC Primer & CC Foundation. (CC = Colored Clay)
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this beautiful packaging..........
Besides the packaging, I truly am loving these products. Especially the primer. I am so impressed with it. I'm not usually one to wear primer. Only because I have yet to find one that doesn't break me out. Until now! Not only does it not break me out, but it evens out your skin tone while making a beautiful canvas for your foundation. Any foundation for that matter. I've used it with all my liquid foundations. I still have yet to try it on my beloved It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation. But I'm sure it would perform the same. It also mattifies as well. Which I like since I'm super oily.
Here is a shot of me before applying the primer.
A little bit of redness happening around my nose and chin area. As well as a small blemish by my lip.
Now here's a shot after I applied the primer.
Huge difference right?!! I promise I didn't use any filters. See how much more even my skin tone is? My small blemish is hardly even noticeable now. And can you see how it has mattified my skin as well? So impressed.
Let's talk about the CC Foundation for a bit. Although I'm not as in love with it as I am the primer, I am by no means disappointed in it. The coverage is amazing with or without the primer. So it's definitely a full coverage foundation. But being full coverage it feels light weight. My only 2 complaint's is that it seeps into my fine lines just a tad, and it doesn't keep my oily skin from shining through. (pun intended) On a good note, it doesn't break down at all. When I touch up during the day, it looks good as when I first put it on.
Here's a shot with the foundation on.
No concealer needed either for that blemish that WAS by my lip. Love the coverage!
Here's the finished product.
Other than me looking too serious, I love how even my skin looks.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm a wee bit on the oily side. But to give it the real test, I didn't touch up at all in this next photo which has been about 6 hours later.
Again, waaay too serious.
So even though I'm shiny, look how even my skin tone is. Even my pores are still minimal. Very impressed.
So that about covers it. Overall I love both products. But more so the primer. I'm just super impressed with it. You can of course get the primer at Sephora or Ulta, but the foundation is only available in the kit on QVC. Which I personally think is a GREAT deal. You get 6 full sized Tarte products plus the foundation brush you see me use in my video linked below. I'll link the QVC kit as well so you can check it out for yourself.
Till next time Loves!
