Tarte Fall 2012 Collection

It has been a year since my favorite collection from Tarte was released, the True Blood Eye Palette is still one of the products that I use at least once or twice a week and have created so many great eye looks from.  Needless to say, ever since trying that palette, I have spending a lot more time on the Tarte website and have been looking at their counter much more when I get into Sephora.  This company doesn't always release new seasonal collections and very often the collection is simply a group of new products and shades instead of having a collection with a common theme.  I prefer collections with a theme however this time around, I am just happy to see a group of new items to lust after for the season!
This group of products contains a new shade of their best-selling cheek stain, some nice eye shadow palettes, and a new foundation formula.  Fall is always when I go back to wearing foundation on a near daily basis and then next formula that I must try is the new offering from Urban Decay.  However I am interested in the new formula from this company with the exclusive Maracuja Oil contained in it.  What am I most excited for from these new products?  I think that I want the eye shadow palettes the most, I have found some winning shades in the True Blood Palette and I wish that Tarte offered single eye shadows in their product line up.  This company makes some great palettes but I always want the option to buy shadows singularly in case few shades in a given palette will be flattering to me.
Here is the newest product grouping from Tarte...

Maracuja Miracle Foundation 12-Hour Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen - Awaken your complexion with this maracuja-oil infused, anti-aging, and moisturizing full coverage liquid foundation.  The coverage is flawless, the staying power performs for up to 12 hours of perfect wear time, the feel is silky and it imparts a subtle, dewy finish.  Thanks to the miracle of maracuja, this long wearing, waterproof pure foundation rich in Vitamin C and available in 10 shades, goes on seamlessly and instantly restores skin's natural luster for a firmer, brighter, smoother complexion.  Maracuja has also been known to reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation of the skin making this foundation perfect for all skin types and ideal for sensitive, dehydrated, dry, or aging skin.  The combination of Vitamins A, E, and mineral pigments hydrates and preserves skin.  Tarte's Maracuja Miracle is housed in a soft-finish recyclable glass bottle that boasts a sustainable bamboo cap making it our most eco-chic foundation ever. 

Cheek Stain - Achieve a healthy, natural glow with our award-winning cheek stain.  Cheek Stains are free of alcohol so they won't dry out your skin or oil so they won't clog your pores.  They are infused with the Tarte T5 Super Complex for a healthy dose of natural antioxidants.  The Tarte T5 Super Complex is a proprietary blend of the five most active superfruits: goji, acai, maracuja, acerola, and pomegranate.  The first blend of its kind, the T5 Super Fruit Complex is loaded with naturally occuring, antioxidant rich nutrients and vitamins that have been known to deliver refining, anti-aging, and skin-restorative benefits with each application.

The eye shadow palettes are my favorite picks from this collection, I love Tarte eye shadows and I am already deciding which of the palettes that I will be buying next time that I go to Sephora.  I want both of the shades in the Amazonian Clay Eye Palettes, both palettes will be great to create a natural eye look for the fall months.  I love all the neutrals and browns in these palettes, every shade will make my blue eyes pop.  I also love that I can blend shades in between the palettes, adding even more potential to my fall makeup looks.  Just Deserts is my favorite shade from the Beauty and the Box product line, golds are my favorite eye makeup shade and this one contain a great shade of it. 

After I move on from the eye makeup part of this collection, I still have quite a shopping list.  I want to try the foundation formula, this formula will be best for the fall and winter since it leaves a bit of a dewy finish and is better for normal to dry to skin.  I will be adding this to my foundation shopping list.  Next, I want the new rose hue in the Cheek Stain, I will get lots of use from this shade.  I am also really interested in the LipSurgence Pencils, Pouty will be a great berry shade for the next few months.  I see that another company has introduced a whipped cream formula blush, I hope that this is trend that really begins to pick up.  I must play with these the next time that I go to Sephora!
