🕷💀SAVE THE DATE! 👻 🎃 It’s almost t 🕷💀SAVE THE DATE! 👻 🎃 

It’s almost time! Halloween is hitting all my social media platforms and the blog on Sept. 1! Every day at 8 a.m. I’ll have a new post with Halloween fun. 

You guys voted and the majority said to mix it all up with costumes and party planning, so we will, but with an every other day pattern. I’ll still be sharing fall fashion as well so it will be a fun two months!

I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on! I have ideas for adults like years past, but also lots of kid-friendly ideas this year too! Plus, Hocus Pocus 2 is coming so I have a whole “series within a series” to get ready for your watch parties.

Also, Ben in his costumes is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. 😍

Let’s get spooky, y’all! 👻 I can’t wait!

Our baby gate retracts up to 71 inches and is less than $50! I’m linking the exact gate we use and some similar options in the @shop.ltk app! https://liketk.it/3LtQE

Tarte Make-Up Haul Reviews


I’m a day late with today’s post. I’m having a full Friends day “hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your yeeeeeeaar” lol.

Work has been straight up kicking my ass. All day every day from 8-5. I’m just being honest–it’s been bad. So I’m trying, but I know my content and post schedule has been slipping.

However, we’re here now so let’s get to it.

A few weeks ago, Tarte had a sale where you could fill a make-up bag for $63! It was like $200 worth of full-sized products on sale for $63! It was great. So, of course, I participated.

It gave me the opportunity to try some products I haven’t tried yet. So I thought it would be fun to go through my haul and talk about which products I loved and which were just meh.

So let’s get started.

Rainforest of the Sea Aquacealer Concealer: So I was worried about this because I am pale. Like real pale. Like if casper and that guy from the DaVinci Code had a baby pale. So I always get a little weird about buying concealer and foundation online without trying it, but this is what’s up! I love this concealer. It has great coverage–I’d say like medium to full. I really like that it’s water-based because you know I’m all about the hydration right now. I would give this one five out of five!

Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation: Ok so in all fairness I love Shape Tape so this one wasn’t new. It’s one of my favorite foundations. So I’m obviously going to give it 5 out of 5.  This one is full-coverage and looks great. Plus it matches my skin tone like *muah* perfection!

Tartiest Metallic Shadow in Shake Down: So I really like this shadow! It’s got great pigmentation and shimmer so that’s fun. Plus it’s a neutral color so it can be blended and worn with lots of colors. I give it a four out of five because the shimmer is definitely there so I’d say it can’t be worn all the time–or it can, I like shimmer. Either way I really really like it.

The Sculptor Contouring Face Slenderizer: I like this because it seems easy, but I have trouble–maybe I just need more practice. I feel like it should be fool-proof, you just draw on your face where you want to contour and blend, but mine doesn’t look very natural when I do it. I have started wetting my Beauty Blender and that helps, but it still seems off. I use contour powder usually so maybe it’s the difference of textures. I give this a 2 out of 5 with hopes that I just get better at it lol.

Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara: I really really liked this mascara–and you know I’m all about the lashes. My favorite part is the brush. I love that it lifts and separates the lashes to create long, clump free lashes. It definitely doesn’t plump the lashes, but does focus on length so I really like it. I give it a four out of five 🙂

The Lip Architect: Ok, I didn’t like this one at all…so much so I forgot to take a picture lol. The color was wrong, the consistency was weird, just all wrong. I give it a 1 out of 5. Not for me.

I also got some samples! Mermaid Skin Hyaluronic H20 Serum and Deep Dive Cleansing Gel. I actually REALLY liked both! Again, I love products that hydrate and I feel like both of these really do. The Deep Dive really cleansed my face and helped remove my make-up. The Mermaid Serum can be worn under your foundation and be worked into your routine at night. I think I am going to purchase both of these because I really liked them and the packaging is adorable!! Plus who doesn’t want to be a mermaid?

 

Did you participate in the Tarte sale? Anything you just loved??

    I am so happy to hear about this concealer! I also am super pale and have the same issue with concealer, so I need to check this out ASAP.

    I am a huge fan of Tarte products. I have only used the Tart Shape Tape foundation though out of all of these products. I love me some Shape Tape! I may have to check some of these other products out to see if I would have any luck with them. Great review!

    I love atarte products, but I haven’t had a chance to try a ton of them yet, so I plan to save some of these names for my next trip to Ulta! Thanks so much for sharing!

    I love what I’ve tried from Tarte so far! It’s not the easiest brand to get here in Australia, unfortunately, which is why I haven’t tried any of these yet but I’ve got my greedy little eye on a few. The mascara has really tickled my fancy. x

    That Tarte sale was AMAZING – I’m obsessed with everything I got in my bag!

    You bet I participated in that sale! It was actually my first time ordering any Tarte products. I’m honestly very disappointed. I received the wrong bag and was missing 2 items. I’ve been dealing with their customer service and I’m annoyed. I did get the same concealer and foundation and I can’t wait to try those 2 out!

  9. Adriana says

    May 25, 2018 at 10:45 am

    Yesss! I love these picks! Tarte is the best and during one of their sales is the best time to stock up!
