There’s nothing more satisfying than buying a well configured makeup kit.  You know, the kind you pick up at places like Ulta or even QVC.  It’s how I’ve experienced many brands for the first time – those little kits are often packed with brand showstoppers – and replenished loved products at a very good value.

 

This afternoon, just as I was about to call it a day, I got an email from Tarte announcing an upcoming kit available on March 16th on QVC. You can bet I jumped in on this one (early too) because many of the items are worldwide launches and several are long-time favorites.

 

I couldn’t let the day go by without letting you know about it in the event you’ve never tried Tarte or simply want to get in early on this great deal.  Here’s what’s in the Miracle of Maracuja 8-piece Skin Smart kit, item #A225240 (auto-delivery):

 

If you’ve never tried the Maracuja Creaseless Waterproof Concealer you really must!  In fact, I’ll review it in the next couple of days (before Friday March 16th) so you have a little more information to help you make a more informed decision about the kit.  I also use the Maracuja Oil and the Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara – I like both very well.  The oil is not a staple item for me (the mascara is however) but a 1.7 oz size comes in the kit and sells for about $46…the math is good!  I’ve grown quite fond of Tarte blushes so the new airbrush blush has me intrigued.

 

I ordered this kit as an auto-delivery item with refills of the concealer, mascara and oil plus all new color products shipped to me again in July and November.  Before I forget, the kit sells for about $60 (plus shipping & any tax) and is on a 3-payment plan if you’re watching your pennies this month.  Will you be joining in the Tarte festivities this Friday?

 

Hubby is under the weather today so I’m off to play nurse.  ;-)

My desk is often overflowing with samples, brochures, look books, and then of course…product.  I wanted to give you a peek at what just landed on my beauty desk thanks to Mr. UPS.   It’s a collection that Lisa & Leslie (QVC host and creator of Bare Escentuals respectively) tempted me with so much that I not only had to purchase but I absolutely had to get it on auto ship!

 

On my desk: The bare Minerals Return to Radiance illuminating 8-piece collection for face, eyes, lips. The item that pushed me over the edge was the Neutralizing Prime Time primer. I’m not a fan of the original primer but this primer has a yellow tint that promises to help reduce redness.  Come on…I couldn’t say no to a color correcting primer!  I haven’t tried the new Ready blushes so this is going to be a fun week of testing.

 

Although I don’t shop on television like I may have done in years past, I will always jump at a good beauty Today’s Special.  Yup…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!   Expect detailed photos and a review of the collection within the next couple of weeks.  If you have a question before then, feel free to leave it for me below.
