No, Tarte doesn’t even exist here! It’s so f-ing annoying, ’cause I’m soo in love with their stain in “Tipsy”, yet I never get to try it out. Well, I tried it out when I was in Santa Barbara last spring, but got completely side tracked and forgot to buy it 🙁

Ooh, thanks for the heads up! I _love_ Tarte’s “smooth operator” foundation and picked up some of that along with some lip goodies. I was hoping to get their new lash stain too but it’s out of stock 🙁

I have, in mini form at least, and I like it pretty well. Generally I do prefer liquid or gel blushes to powders (particularly if I’m using a liquid foundation, I feel like they give me that “dewey glow”). Tarte’s gel is pretty thick, which gives you time to blend it, which is nice, but I feel like I also have to work it around and in quite a lot to make sure I don’t have any splotchyness.

Blush-wise I’ve become a quick, if guilty (because of the price), devotee of Benefit’s newish Posientint, I love love love the natural-looking flush it gives my pale skin.

I just tried the Smooth Operator at Sephora! Perfect timing. I’m grabbing that, the Peaches & Cream foundation (I’ve heard good things, and for $20 I’ll try it), and the lip gloss set. My wallet is both happy and sad.

About Tarte Cheek stains – They are great!!! but my recommendation is that if you are going to use them – purchase the mini version because they work much easier – They twist up unlike the normal version which is pushed up from the bottom and can sometimes get messy because you have to push them back down manually which is a pain and can ruin the product…
