Tarte Glow Your Way To Gorgeous 8-piece Maracuja & Clay Collection Review, swatches and Photos

A couple of weeks ago, I did a preview post on the tarte Glow your way to gorgeous 8-pc maracuja & clay collection and promised to do a full review with swatches once I receive my own set. My QVC package arrived last week so here it is lovelies…

Here is the list of items that I received in my Tarte Glow your way to Gorgeous set :

• Maracuja Creaseless Concealer (shade – medium)
• Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush (new shade – Peaceful)
• Tarte emphasEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow (new shade – Shimmering Taupe)
• Tarte smolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeliner with sharpener (new shade Fig – Plum brown)
• LipSurgence natural lip luster (new shade Sweet – golden pink)
• Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara in black
• Deluxe size Mineral Powder Bronzer (shade – Park Ave. Princess)
• Deluxe sample of Tarte’s Pure Maracuja oil
• Purple Tarte makeup bag
• Bamboo blush brush
• Bamboo eyeshadow brush

The Maracuja creaseless concealer in medium is nicely pigmented and covers up my undereye area well ( I do not have serious dark circles but need to conceal some undereye darkness) The creamy formula blends easily and stays put through the day. You just need a tiny bit so a little goes a long way.

The Amazonian clay blush in Peaceful is a soft, warm peach with an almost matte finish. It’s a lovely shade with just a hint of shimmer and looks flattering on my fair-medium skintone. I do not really get a 12-hour wear time with this blush but it’s good for at least 7-8 hours which is good enough most of the times.

The emphasEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow in Shimmering Taupe is a gorgeous taupe with satin finish and truly a delight for all taupe-loving gals like me! This cream shadow is richly pigmented with a silky, lightweight-feel formula that applies very smoothly. In terms of staying power, it is long-wearing overall but tends to fade a little by the end of the day when it’s hot and humid outside.

The SmolderEYES eyeliner in Fig has a buttery smooth texture that makes it a breeze to apply and comes with a smudger tip on the other end. The plummy brown shade Fig is lovely and although it looks great on waterline, the wearing time is not so good. However, the color lasts all day long without fading or smudging on my upper lashline.

Another of my favorite in the set is LipSurgence Natural Lip Luster in Sweet (peachy-pink with golden shimmer) that’s super pretty! The non-sticky moisturizing formula with Vit E, Vit C and jojoba seed is a treat for lips. The chubby lip stick does not need sharpening and is convenient to use with its twist-up design.

Here are the swatches :

Tarte has also included a generous sized sample of Mineral powder Bronzer and pure Maracuja oil (it’s a powerful skin elixir derived from the Amazonian passion flower that delivers a high dose of essential fatty acids and vitamin C to hydrate) in the kit. This lightweight oil does not feel greasy and leaves my skin velvety smooth. I love to use it before bedtime after cleansing my face and do not need another moisturizer. A little goes a long way so this sample is going to last me a while.

To sum it up, I am really pleased with this fabulous Tarte collection…..it is so rare to love almost every product in a value set! This summer collection is very wearable with its high-quality, long-lasting products and the selection of universally flattering colors. And what makes it even more  lustworthy is that Tarte’s products are formulated with good-for-your-skin natural ingredients to deliver maximum benefits without parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate and synthetic fragrances.

Available on QVC for just $54.96. It’s a great value set to pick up if you are a Tarte fan or want to try the brand!
