Plumping Lip Stain, Cherry $21.00 @ Beauty.com

A new edition to Tarte's line up that's the ultimate wakeup-makeup for lips: the lip stain imparts a natural rosy glow, while the cocktail of tripeptides in the plumping gloss stimulates collagen on the cellular level. The result? A pout that's pretty, polished and plumped-up. Good morning, sunshine!


REVIEW: Love the stain of Benetint and the lip plumping of LipFusion? The masters at Tarte have combined the two and made them so convenient to use. The stain is less pink than Benetint's. It is the PERFECT shade of red. Not too dark. Not too light. But better than natural. It applies very easily with a sponge tipped applicator and dried up (without the tell tale stain lines) in under a minute. The other end is the lip plumping gloss but don't let the colors scare you. They look far more radical in the picture than they do on the lips. The plump factor was amazing without an ounce of sting. It seriously plumped the lips up to Angelina status. The gloss part lasts about an hour less than the stain does so if I had one comment to make to Tarte it's to make the plumping gloss a little bit longer than the stain portion of this double ended product.

A true 5 :D :D :D :D :D

*avoid oil-based products around the eye while wearing 4 day stay lash stains.
Made in Italy

I was so excited to get this product. I saw such good reviews on all the blogs and thought why not just purchase it.

I also got it because there are days that I do not wear much makeup, but I always put on mascara.
What a great idea... only having to put on mascara every 4 days! Not...
It went on nice, looked really good and did darken my lashes... the first day.
But after that ...it started to smudge under my eyes. I woke up with raccoon eyes and a stain pillow case.

This product left my eyelashes feel brittle and stiff which is probably the reason I had a problem keeping a good curl on them.
I have had better results with waterproof mascara.
I did follow the directions, I avoided using oil-based creams or makeup remover on lashes or the surrounding eye area.

I'm so disappointed. I wish I hadn't thrown my return receipt away.

I love the applicator. Quick and easy to use. I swipe this on my lids, and my lids feel smooth and soft, making them ready for eye shadow or liner.
It really does help my shadows and my eyeliner stay on all day! Lovely product; it doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes either!

tarte mascara
Lights, Camera, Lashes!, Black

This is what we call a push-up bra for your lashes - a 4-in-1 (lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning) dermatologist and clinically tested mascara that gives dramatic, thick, sexy lashes. This mascara has been clinically proven to increase the appearance of lash curl by 90.2%.

skinvigoratingâ„¢ ingredients:

rice bran wax: helps lengthen lashes
carnauba wax: emollient wax ensures smooth application
provitamin B5: treats and thickens lashes
olive esters: conditions, treats and protects lashes
mineral pigments: known for soothing and softening properties

REVIEW: This mascara is super lush and creates dramatically long, super battable lashes. It feels practically weightless on and didn't smear at all -- even after a long, sweaty workout! And I didn't even try the waterproof version (which there is one available of). The only downside to it was that when I applied it it looked like it was going to go on in a clumpy manner but that didn't happen at all...I think this is just from the formulation of it. I was able to easily apply two coats (and honestly could've gone with one) w/out a bunch of clumps and the mascara remained totally (metal) comb-able without flaking off my lashes & onto my face. The color is fabulous, it held my lashes curl all day and was easily washable at night. Definitely one of my new must-have basic favorites :D
