Tarte Holiday 2012 - The Stand Outs Limited-Edition Best Sellers Kit

A limited-edition, value set by Tarte, The Stand Outs Best Sellers Kit ($25) comes with three of Tarte's bestsellers. Included in the kit are, the EmphasEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner in Bronze (full-size) with a dual-ended liner brush, the Lights, Camera, Lashes! mascara in a deluxe size and a full size LipSurgence™ Natural Lip Luster in Pouty. 

EmphasEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner in Bronze

The Amazonian Clay Waterproof Gel/Cream eyeliners work great as a liner or shadow. The dual-ended brush that comes along is quite nice too. One end is pretty precise for a thin line or when you want to wing your liner out, and the other end is fabulous for smudging the color or packing it on when using it as a shadow. The liner is pretty forgiving to mistakes and gives you quite a bit of time to smudge it out. Once it sets, it doesn't budge either. Love the color of Bronze as a liner and as a sheer wash all over the lid. It is a metallic, bronzy brown with very fine shimmer and a super creamy texture that glides without any tug or pull. Fantastic formula and great packaging too!

Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara 

Tarte describes this as a 4-in-1 mascara that volumizes, curls, lenghtens and conditions lashes. It does lenghthen and curl pretty well, but I could use a little more volume for my stubby lashes. Lashes look natural without the crunchy feel and don't lose curl overtime either. The brush looks like a typical volumizing mascara brush, but takes care of clumps very well. It is non-waterproof and washes off quite easily too!

LipSurgence Natural Lip Luster in Pouty

Pouty is a berry pink with sublte shimmer. It is the perfect berry pink for pigmented lips, as the color shows through in a very nice way. As for the formula, it is quite moisturizing but not overly so, especially on dry lips. It does feel very comfortable without the waxy, heavy feel though. I get about 2-3 hours of weartime from Pouty. The sublte shimmer adds a nice sheen and doesn't get left behind once the color fades. 

Overall, another one of those fabulous value sets from Tarte and a nice way to try out some of their products at a super nice price. There's nothing I do not like in here! The perfectly handpicked selection of products is amazing and the colors are wearable and gorgeous! 

Formulated without any Parabens, Sulfates, Mineral Oil, Synthetic Fragrances and Petrochemicals.
