Take a Bite Out of the Tarte for True Blood Collection

June 22nd, 2011 by Karen 39 Comments

That’s right, fangbangers. Tarte is getting ready to release a True Blood-themed collection, and it’s timed perfectly for the start of the new season this Sunday (can’t wait!).

Insert various vampire jokes here…

“I’m dying to try it!”

“Can’t wait to sink my teeth into it!”

“I hope it doesn’t suck!”

“I’d give blood to get my mitts on that cheek stain!”

Haha!

The three-piece limited edition release includes an Eye Palette with 17 powder shadows, a gel liner, mascara and primer ($52), as well as a Cheek Stain ($30) and a Natural Lip Tint ($24).

Now the big question: is the eyeliner Lafayette approved? Because homeboy’s tightlining is BEYOND fierce.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Loving this collection! I’m really wanting the cheek stain and lip color…I’m all about the reds! I just hope the stain isn’t too much for my fair skin…but hey, if it’s meant for vampires, you’d think they would have thought of that, right?

    Thanks for the preview!

      I’m betting that the cheek stain is vampire approved for the palest of the pale. 😉

        It says it’s a Sephora Insider Exclusive and when I logged in it gave me the “add to basket” option. Looks like its live!

    He is to tightlining what Captian Jack is to smoked out liner. I have to admit I am not that big of a fan of guyliner, but man, for those those who can rock it, it’s awesome!

          He’d bring it along with him to Merlotte’s so he could do touch-ups on the go.

    Sigh. Guyliner done right is so rare yet so efficient. I’ve not found the recent seasons as good as the first one, but Lafayette is the best reason for watching the show.

    I can’t wait. I can’t wait I cant wait!

    Seriously? I’m going to be humming “These are a few of my favorite things” all afternoon. Tarte and True Blood teaming up just makes me happy inside. 🙂 Season 1 was my favorite, too – which is weird because you know I’m all about the “more Eric”.

    So delurking for this post right here! (Love your blog btw!) I’ve searched through my favourite beauty blogs and not one posted about this line! I stalked sephora till 4am and got the palette. I love Tarte and True Blood, so I’ve been lemming about it since I saw it hinted at Tarte’s FB page last week.
