Hi Guys! Long time no see, eh? I've been a busy girl lately and am very behind on updates :(
I will probably be breaking up my hauls in the near future. There will be a lot of hauls... a lot, I tell you!
Recently, I purchased two products from the Tarina Tarantino makeup collection. It is sold online at TARINA TARANTINO at Sephora or you can find it in a few select Sephora stores. I bought Dollskin Cheek Powder in Carved Rose ($25) and Dollskin Powder in Translucent Tulle ($32).
First, the packaging...wow..so gorgeous! I can't wait to just pull it out in public! My Macbook camera does the compacts no justice! The compacts are silver with a pink plate in the center and lined with crystals. They come in a pink drawstring pouch. Very glam...
But is it worth it? Yes, yes, and yes. The blush consistency reminds me of Nars (only $1 cheaper!). In fact, Carved Rose is a perfect dupe of Nars' Angelika blush. It is a beautiful bright rose shade, much more vivid than Sephora's website color swatches lead you to believe. I'm wearing a very light layer of it that I applied with a Too Faced mini Flatbuki brush (awesome, super soft, great for layering, portable and only $12- highly recommend).
Translucent Tulle is a basic finishing powder and is $32 (!), but I love the way it feels on my skin. It is very silky and I love using it to set makeup. It comes with a sponge for touch ups, but no place to store it in the compact. From what I've read on beauty sites this seems to be the biggest gripe about this product, but I don't really care as I carry a set of mini-brushes with me. However, this might annoy you so be forewarned!
Love, love these products and can't wait to try more...
Oh, before I split...for those of you who have no clue who the hell Tarina Tarantino is, let me give you the skinny. Tarina is a former model turned jewelry designer who's work adorns celebrities like Cameron Diaz and Kelly Osbourne. You can check out some of her pieces here: : : T A R I N A T A R A N T I N O : : . Cute, no?
