tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush "natural beauty": Swatches + Review!!


I feel like I've been saying this a decent amount lately but I'm going to be keeping this post short and sweet; all I ever seem to talk about now days is this stupidly beautiful blush (here, here, and basically in real life to anyone who is victim to my beauty gushings #I'mkindofsorryTorey) so I'm just going to limit this post to slight gushing and then some cosmetic p0rn.




Let me sum it up for you:
Arguably some of the best packaging ever (fits oh-so-perfectly in the hand, sturdy, and colored to match the blush perfectly so there's no extra confusion in the morning [or night, I don't judge]), extremely pigmented so your dollar feels well spent (this should last you a lifetime unless you start using it fresh out of the womb), and just an overall delight to apply to your cheeks.

True to its name, this blush will last on your face for 12+ hours and really can make you look like a "natural beauty"; this muted strawberry red blush is surprising versatile so you can apply lightly for that 'blushing bride' look or really pile it on for more of a drunken glow.



Have you tried tarte's "natural beauty"?
Love it? Hate it?
What's your favorite blush at the moment?
Do share!!

    AHhhHhh! This is incredible timing! I'm going to NYC this weekend and I made a list of things to buy (much cheaper) and this was at the top of my list! Well, I can now blame you for my frivolous blush purchase :p

    Haven't tried the Tarte blushes, but my current fav is the Milani Baked Blush in a peach color (darn it, I can't recall the name!)

    I always hear such good things about tarte blushes- it's a shame they're so hard to get in the UK!

    I've always wanted to try Tarte, but they are next to impossible to get in the UK :( Your cat in the header is so adorable too! =^;^=

    Gives you such a pretty pinky flush! I only have one Tarte blush in Exposed and I'm not sure if I just got a dud, but there's like almost no pigmentation when you try to swatch it. It fares a bit better with a brush though :)

      Aw thank you!! And I wonder if it's something to do with skin tone? You very well may have received a dud (what a shame; I hope you can exchange it?) but I know that when I've tried swatching exposed it just doesn't show up on my skin tone. I feel like it's only suited for the fairest of the fair though I could be completely off on that :)
