Tarte: If you guys don't know much about Tarte, the company was started in 1999 and its goal was to create "fun, easy to use products, that are good for your skin". It is similar to bare minerals in that it tries to stay away from chemicals that are bad for your skin. Mauren Kelly, the founder of Tarte, refers to her line as "Health Couture" which means chic makeup that is good for your skin! Tarte has its own full section in Sephora as well as their own website! They have a wide range of cosmetics that are definitely worth checking out!

Review:

Ok so I got this set in the color light ( I'm extremely pale) and it's great! The whole is set is also organic. Although this is a set package these products can be purchased individually, so that is how I'm going to review them.

Foundation: Tarte claims this makeup is medium to full coverage, I disagree. The foundation is really sheer but that's exactly what I was looking for as a 20 year old college student, I don't want it to look like my foundation is caked on! It goes on really evenly and is a great match for my skin! Tarte claims their formula is anti-aging as well as "wrinkle rewinding", unfortunately I can neither prove nor disprove this claim because I'm too young to be able to tell, but it does have an spf 15. The only compliant I have is that the foundation does settle and separate so be sure to shake the bottle before pumping out the foundation. But overall its a decent foundation in place of bare minerals.

Primer: Clean slate is the face primer. It's clear and feels like an oily jell, but once you apply it to your face it absorbs right into your skin, without making it too shiny! It keeps my face makeup lasting all day, but its not any better or any worse than any other primer I have tried. Primers tend to get a little pricey so getting this $30 primer in this set is definitely worth it. I also like that its organic so your not putting any harmful chemicals on your skin!

Concealer: The eraser is a liquid concealer. The product is in the tube and when you twist it it is released into the bristles at the top. Tarte also claims the skin invigorating formula helps to treat irritated skin, I don't believe this is true. However, it does what i need it to do and covers up my blemishes.

Mineral Powder: Provocateur pressed mineral powder with SPF 8 is a decent setting powder. It's really nothing special compared to other mineral powders but it does a pretty good job of setting the foundation and concealer.

Bronzer: The mineral powder bronzer in Park Ave. Princess is my favorite! It gives the perfect amount of glow to my pale skin. I use it all the time, this is something I would definitely repurchase from Tarte in full size!

Brush & Bag: The travel size brush is a really great value it works just as well as my MAC 190 brush and is perfect to just throw in my bag for an over night trip. The clear bag I wouldn't really use it was a cute way to package the product but I already have half a dozen makeup bags maybe I'll use it to store toiletries when I travel, but other than that idk what I would use a clear makeup bag for....

Overall: I'm a really BIG bargain hunter and this set is a GREAT value! To get all this for around $60 is great! The girl who helped meat Sephora said this should last someone who wears it everyday around 5 to 6 months and the less you wear foundation the longer it will last! The fact that its organic is a HUGE plus. It honestly doesn't feel like I'm wearing heavy makeup on my face, in fact sometimes when I wear it i forget I have face makeup on at all!

For this value I would definitely recommend giving it a try!
