As my shirt says, Hello!

I’m back with another “Today’s Special Value” by tarte that is on QVC today May 11th! The kit is pretty darn awesome for only  $47.64 That’s correct. . . under $50 for the entire kit. Click here to purchase the kit!

Here is what’s included:

Look at that glorious quad. Oh the possibilities! The foundation is really creamy, and it helps a lot to have a brush to work it into your skin. I think without the brush it would be a bit more challenging to blend in nicely.

The final look was lots of lashes, depth along my inner rim, and a fun pink lip!

earrings are Petite Pastel Druzy Studs

Typically these kits sell out fast, so just keep that in mind if you are interested. tarte has been a brand I’ve loved for a long, long time so I was thrilled to be able to work with them on this look + telling you about this great deal. My first “TSV” collab with tarte was back in February, you can watch the video here but that kit is no longer available.

I think you may have given me the push I needed to purchase the kit! I was on the fence when I first heard about it through QVC… and now I think I need it in my life.
Thanks, Kate!

I’ve been looking at this. Is the “light” shade foundation in this kit more of a pink or yellow undertone? I’m more pink so I’m just wondering if it would work for me. Thanks Kate!

I think it leans toward the yellow side a bit, but not too much

Hi Kate! Thanks for the tutorial. Very beautiful!

I also love your hair! Any chance we’ll see any hair tutorials soon, or perhaps an FAQ video? I’ve been curling my hair almost daily, and I tease it for some extra volume. But every time I tease my hair I lose some of the curl. Any tips to avoid this?

Thanks for all your awesome posts!
Kayla

Sadly, I have NOT had good luck with Tarte products. Which is a bummer, because I really WANTED to like them. The Fiber lashes bothered my eyes so badly that I had to return them, & I’ve had to take my amazonian clay powder back to Ulta THREE TIMES because the color simply is not right for me. Too dark, too orange-y, now too light & I feel like it simply doesn’t blend well with my skin & looks cakey. Humph.

What color did you get light or fair?

Hi Kate, just wondering how you find tightlining with your contact lenses? I have real trouble with anything on my waterline or anything ‘heavy’ on my upper lashes…any tips?

Wow! What a wonderful colors! I am so in love with them! I will definitely get one of this kit!

Hi, Kate! Thanks so much for this thorough tutorial! I watched it and then purchased the kit last night. I am also glad we appear to have the same skin tone so it made choosing the foundation color a lot easier. It’s really hard to gauge what to pick when you can’t physically try it on first.

I love your earrings in these shots! Is it from your wonderful sister’s shop? Which reminds me too – how has the healing of your earring hole surgery going? that’s an awkward question, but I have never heard of it being fixed before. I think it’s great!

I have only purchased 3 tarte products but I really liked them, so I bought the kit! Can’t wait for it to come. I got the fair shade of foundation so I hope it works. I’m pale and freckled. Thanks for sharing and showing how to use it. I have to say i pretty much suck at doing my hair and makeup but your videos and blog have coached me along so I’m not so pathetic at it all. So thanks! But now I love shopping at Ulta a little too much….
