Enbrightenment Britesmile Whitener + tarte lipgloss in pearly pink- $26

Lip gloss and teeth whitener in the same package? Amazing! And I was just thinking my smile could use a little brightening... Add tarte's t5 super fruit complex into the mix and it just seems too good to be true.

Wish this came in more colors, but hey, I'll take what I can get!

Tarte eyeshadow in Sweet Valley High (pictured) and Raspberry Beret- $14

The shimmery pale pink of Sweet Valley High is my

dream highlight shade. I love nothing more than a pretty pink dusting of shadow along the brow bone and in the inner corners of the eyes. It does the job and is also pretty and girly at the same time. I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way, in fact I know someone does because the shade is currently out of stock, but hopefully it will be back soon because it is gorgeous.

Natural Cheekstain in Bliss and Dollface (pictured)- $30

What would a list for tarte be without a cheekstain? No list at all! Bliss is a "warm peachy-pink" and Dollface is a "sheer candy pink with a touch of shimmer". Both are oh-so-pretty and amazing I don't think I can choose between them. It's like when you have two children, and they ask you who is your favorite you just take each one aside and let them know they're your favorite but it's "your little secret"... lol

In all seriousness :) I think Bliss is a great color for anyone. I think peachy colors can highlight brown or hazel eyes and they are a great meeting point between traditional blush and bronzers. Pink works in different ways on everyone, so it's very versatile, but can also be very fickle (especially when you add shimmer to the mix). You know what works for you!

Have an amazing weekend ladies! Let me know what you are up to!

Tarte Emphaseyes High Definition Eye Pencil in Plum

My first eyeliner was a jet black smudgy urban decay eyeliner pencil that I used every day on my lids, top and bottom. I was in seventh grade when I first started wearing eye-liner, which gives me about eight years of experience. Despite this fact, I'm usually very non-discerning when it comes to eyeliner. That all changed the moment I first used my tarte Emphaseyes High Definition Eye Pencil a few weeks ago. Never again will I settle for cheap drugstore liner that barely lasts through my morning commute!

There are so many great things about this eyeliner:

• The tiny tip which makes application precise and easy
• The twist-out dispenser, no sharpener needed
• Bold, saturated color (I got it in plum, a deep blue-toned purple that highlights brown & green eyes)
• It is super long-lasting and virtually smudge-free- this liner is perfect for defining eyes and emphasizing eye shape and color
• This liner is amazing for precise lines and definition, but is not for the smoky sultry bedroom look
• The formula is sensitive and nourishing, perfect for the inner rim of the eye (and you'll never get poked by the raggedy ends of your sharpened eye-pencil ever again!)

Even if you're an eyeliner newbie, this liner is thin enough that you'll be lining along your lash line with ease and creating a cat-eye like a pro in no time! If you have blue eyes, go with the liner in chocolate or just go for good-old-standby black.

The more I hear of and try of tarte Cosmetics, the more I love! Most of their products are chemical-free and contain skin nourishing ingredients, while also being environmentally conscious and friendly, and not to mention very high quality. I also love that they have pics on the site of what the product looks like on. I love that I can see the liner in action before I purchase it and can see proof that their concealer does what it claims to do. Go to the website and sign up for the tarte newsletter to get 20% off your next order (hopefully it will include the Emphaseyes High Definition Eye Pencil).

p.s.- I got this tip for turning a shiny face into a glowing, dewy compexion from Glamour's Beauty Newsletter, use cut up brown paper lunch bags or super absorbent starbucks napkins as blotting papers to absorb sweat and shine. Haven't tried it yet but I'll do anything to beat the end of summer California heat's mission to turn my face into a slip and slide!
