Tarte Maracuja Cheek Tint Review

Hey guys!!  

I am SUPER DUPER excited over this because, I had wanted to try a Tarte product (ANY Tarte product!) for ages and ages but, living in Ireland where you can pretty much only buy it online, I never did.  (I hate buying makeup online, I want the FULL experience!  Discovery - Excitement - Swatching - Desire - Purchase!)

So when I went into TK Maxx and caught this little box out of the side of my eye, I'm embarrassed to say, I did squeal, and very nearly peed myself with excitement (Not really...).

Tarte Maracuja Cheek Tint - Deep Berry

Granted, people of my pale and pasty complexion mightn't usually wear this particular colour but, quite frankly, I probably would still have bought it if it had've been a neon yellow lipgloss, as long as it was by Tarte! (I'm sad, I know)

So, here is a picture of the way it comes out of the pump.  It's a gel formula, not at all runny or difficult to control.  I strongly recommend starting off with the teeny tinniest amount of product and layering more if you need it.

 You do have to work pretty fast to get even coverage, because taking your time can result in patchiness, and that's hardly the look you're going for.  Also, in the 'instructions' on the box it says to 'pump a small, drop-sized amount onto fingertips' and apply to cheeks.  If you do use your fingers, you definitely need an oil based makeup remover to clean it off your hand, because it stains like no other!  

What I love love love about Tarte is that they are Cruelty Free, and this particular product is formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate or synthetic fragrance! ^_^

How I've Used This Product:

Being so pale myself I found that, considering I picked up the only shade that they had and it's quite a vibrant colour, I apply this over my moisturiser/primer and under my foundation so that, even if I went a bit crazy with it, the foundation tones it all down and just makes it look like you're glowing from within!  But I'm guessing this colour looks STUNNING on all the darker skinned gals!  :)

I hope that someone found this post helpful or at least somewhat informative!  

Let me know if you've tried it, how you apply it, what colour you use;  Everything!  I'm dying to hear!!

Chat to yiz all again!

P.S.
I realise now that I probably should've put a picture up of it on my actual mug, but I didn't think of taking one. *FAIL* - I promise I'll work on actually thinking before I post in the future :D
