Review: Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation

PACKAGING:

Comes in their signature purple box

The foundation comes in a purple squeeze tube with a bamboo cap (super easy to get the foundation out!)

FORMULATION:

-Comes in 16 shades

-Medium to Full Coverage

-Light weight/ Super blendable

-Satin/matte finish

-SPF 15 (Titanium Dioxide-not good for flash photography)

-VERY LONG LASTING (I have worn this ALL DAY in EXTREME HEAT & HUMIDITY and it still looked great afterwards)

The foundation also...

-helps reduce dryness/flakiness

-improves skin clarity, firmness, texture, and elasticity (great for all skin types and older skin) 

The best way I have found for application is by using a stiff dome brush or any brush that has a good dense top. Since the foundation is a bit on the thicker side using something like a duo fiber stippling brush can leave streaks and take longer to blend into the skin. A beauty blender sponge also works great with this foundation!

WHERE TO PURCHASE:

Retails for $38.00 for 1.7 fl oz.

Eco Tools Collector's Brush Roll w/ Multi-Tasking Face Brush

This limited edition collectors edition contains the Multi-tasking Face Brush along with a brush roll that holds 12 brushes.

MULTI-TASKING FACE BRUSH

Duo fiber synthetic brush that has a bamboo handle. This brush like the name has multi uses. It can be used to apply liquid or powder foundation. It can also be used to apply bronzer and blush giving that nice airbrush look. 

The brush roll is made from sustainable materials and can hold up to 12 brushes (maybe even more depending on the sizes of your brushes). This is really great for travel because of the size and weight. Unlike most brush holders since the material is so thin it barely weighs anything but it is still quite sturdy.

This kit is available for a limited time for $9.99 and can be purchased at Ulta, Walmart retailers, and drugstores nationwide.

NEW!!! Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch Foundation

Packaging:

Comes in a glass bottle shaped liked a hourglass. The foundation dispenses itself through a teardrop stick. I personally don't really like the stick idea, I find it messy and annoying.

Formulation:

Part of the new Dream Wonder collection, this foundation is the newest addition to the Maybelline foundation line.

The formula itself is a liquid not too thick or thin. It offers a light to medium coverage that gives a nice flawless appearance to the skin. The finish is semi matte depending on your skin type. It is very easy to blend and looks great with the Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder on top. It also contains SPF 20.

Wear Time: 6+ hours

Price: $7 @ Bed, Bath & Beyond (Currently not available at drugstores yet)
