Review: Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Waterproof Mascara

Sephora Says: A waterproof lengthening, curling, volumizing, and conditioning mascara. Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! 4-In-1 Waterproof Mascara's waterproof formula gives you the bombshell lashes you love, and is guaranteed to stay put through rain, sweat or tears.



Mrs. Blacksten Says: Love, love, love! Tarte's Lights, Camera, Splashes! Waterproof Mascara is awesome; not only is it waterproof, but it does a major job of giving my lashes clean definition, and length. I have relatively long lashes as it is, but if I can emphasize that even more, I'm all for it. So far I've had no trouble with clumping, or flaking, which is a common problem with waterproof mascara. Another plus as I've mentioned before is that Tarte's Lights, Camera, Splashes! Waterproof Mascara is natural, which I love in eye products. Sometimes mascara and eyeliner tend to make my eyes water because of the chemicals, with this that is not a problem. Another thumbs up to the lovely ladies at Tarte. Tarte's Lights, Camera, Splashes! Waterproof Mascara can be bought direct through Tarte or Sephora for $18.

Review: Tarte Lock & Roll Creaseless Eyeshadow Duo

Sephora Says: A dual-ended, color-coordinated, water-resistant cream and loose eyeshadow wand. Unlike traditional cream shadows that crease and smudge, Tarte Lock & Roll Creaseless Eyeshadow is waterproof and crease proof. A new twist on the makeup artist trick, the matching loose shadow in a roller ball applicator glides easily over cream shadow to lock color in and add luminosity so color lasts all day.

Mrs. Blacksten Says: I'm not exactly sure what to think about Tarte's Lock & Roll Creaseless Eyeshadow. The "cream" is more of a liquid, close to the consistency of white-out, so it's sort of like painting your eyelid. I'm not a huge fan of cream eyeshadow, although I will say that this eyeshadow doesn't crease. I've found that it works great as an eyeshadow primer for traditional eyeshadow. The pigment that comes in this set isn't very pigmented it sort of just adds shimmer to the liquid eyeshadow once it's dry. Tarte's Creaseless Eyeshadow Duo can come in handy for many things, and is useful, although I wouldn't wear it for what it's designed and marketed for. Creaseless Eyeshadow Duo can be bought direct from Tarte or Sephora for $17, and comes in eight shades.

Review: Tarte EmphasEYES High Definition Eye Pencil

Sephora Says: A super-slim, high definition eye pencil. Tarte EmphasEYES™ High Definition Eye Pencil is a must when trying to achieve a sexy smoky eye. The result? That smoldering look that you see in all the magazines but aren't sure how to create—use this pencil for the finishing touch.

Mrs. Blacksten Says: I really, truly like this eyeliner. The thing about it that I really find useful is how thin it is, which makes tight-lining easier and less messy. Tarte's EmphasEYES eyeliners go on smooth, and stay put, another big plus; their natural. When it comes to makeup around your eye area, natural is just better, no need to worry about it making your eyes water, or causing irritation. Mrs. Blacksten gives Tarte's emphasEYES eyeliner a big thumbs up. EmphasEYES can be bought direct through Tarte or picked up at Sephora for $18.

Easy Breezy

Hey gals! I used Tarte's Lock & Roll Creaseless Eyeshadow Duo for this look, and their Lights, Camera, Splashes! Waterproof mascara.

Tarte Cosmetics

Hey ladies! The lovely folks at Tarte sent me a care package recently, since I had been unsatisfied with Clean Slate Primer. So here's a look at what they sent me. Also I'm going to feature the products in a few upcoming looks, and I'll also do a review on each product individually.

Thanks Kristin!

Review: Tarte Clean Slate Primer

Sephora Says: Tarte Clean Slate Face Primer helps makeup stay in place longer while preventing creasing in fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike other primers, Clean Slate™ contains natural fruit- and plant-derived extracts to treat, protect, sooth, and hydrate the skin.

Mrs. Blacksten Says: I wasn't too impressed by this stuff. I'm fully willing to jump on the go-green bandwagon if something works, but this just didn't do it for me. Clean Slate is super thick, which made me feel like I was putting on a mask, and personally I like a light-feeling primer. Clean Slate also didn't seem to make my face last any longer than wearing nothing under my makeup at all. I don't look for a primer to fill in lines and pores, I look for something that'll give my mineral makeup more lasting power, and is also good for my skin. Clean Slate just isn't for me.
