Two ways to win $50 in Tarte blushes

Good morning and happy Saturday, young lady. 🙂 I hope you slept well. I’m pretty stoked about this morning’s giveaway because it features two of my favorite new blushes for spring (or for any other time).

They come to us straight from the Amazon! Okay, not exactly… They’re from the fantastic Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush line of products made with clay from the Amazon, and not only do Blushing Bride (a shimmery rosy plum with flecks of golden glitter) and Tipsy (a matte coral) apply with intense pigmentation, they’re also cruelty free and last all day long.


Blushing Bride


Tipsy

Now without further ado, it’s…

  6. Good morning!! 🙂 Pretty blush colors!

    Y’know, it’s funny you should mention desks – mine is pretty fully covered by random papers, books & notebooks, and other stuff…. I really need to de-clutter!

    Hope you have a wonderful day!

  14. My favorite time that I had to assemble work “uniform” is a toss-up between when I worked at Victoria’s Secret and standard garb consisted of a black blazer and slacks with some sort of flashy-glitzy top underneath, usually purchased at VS, and pumps, or this crazy summer job I had once as a tour guide on a historic canal boat ride, where I got to don period costume–usually a long, flowy skirt, peasant top, apron, straw hat, and work boots.

  30. I, actually, haven’t tried any Tarte product before, but I have had my eye on the new Amazonian Clay products. They sound really interesting! I’d love to try these blushes 😀

  32. Ooh, exciting! Tarte is a brand I would love to try, but it’s so hard to get from the UK 🙁

    This weekend I am watching something called 24 hour panel people, which is for Comic Relief. David Walliams is attempting to stay up for 24 hours straight taking part in British panel shows. If you’re interested in a bit of British comedy I hear that it is streaming worldwide!

  41. what a crazy coincidence! i just went to sephora yesterday and looked at these and thought to myself, “wow… love these blushes – putting them on my wishlist!”

    Reply

  45. The Tarte stuff I have tried lately has been excellent!!! I’ve tried a sample size of the Lights, Camera, Lashes and I loved it so much I bought a full size. I also bought the Achiote set from QVC and I am IN LOVE with the cheek tint! I’ll be sad when I run out of it because I love it so much. These products have excited me enough to try more Tarte products in the near future.

  47. This weekend I’m so torn over what to wear on my nails, between the shatter/crack look, the glitter or a dark vampy. Since I have a meeting on Tuesday, in the end I went with the vampy; at least I don’t have to redo the nails come Tuesday.

    And oh, I’ve been eyeing these clay blushes for a while; it would make my day to win one! 😀

  49. I swatched these at Sephora the other day. You’re right- they’re awesome! But they were sold out of a lot of the colors. 🙁 I’d love to win these!

  53. Tarte was my first favorite higher-end make-up brand since my first set of eyeshadows was their Femme Natural palette. Been wanting a couple of these since your post about how great they are!

    …and I’m thankful my job doesn’t enforce a dress code so I can wear jeans, flip flops, etc. after 5 p.m. without guilt.

    Reply

  55. Oooo Karen pick me pick me! I am dying to try these blushes. I used to use Tarte Powder Blush in Hottie but they have since discontinued them. I bought some off ebay but now there is hardly any left!

  58. once i worked at a company that made shoes and we had this navy uniform,its pretty good considering you dont have to think what to wear 😀

    Reply

  59. I’m currently a college student, so I guess that could be considered my job. My “uniform” to classes would typically be a pair of dark jeans and a cute shirt. I tend to like lace, ruffles or v-neck sweaters. I would like to change my wardrobe around and wear skirts that I can dress up or down and the same with dresses. I think that the Tarte Blushing Bride blush looks amazing and would be the perfect shade for the winter months. My favorite product from Tarte would be their Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara, it looks amazing with an eyelash primer underneath it.

  83. Looking at makeup online while my cat tries to disentangle herself from a ball of yarn. I give her 3 minutes before she plops down on the floor and gives me that well-what-are-you-waiting-for? look and I have to bail her out.

  85. I’m a nurse so I have to wear scrubs (super comfy) but I work in labor and delivery so we have to wear hospital issue scrubs that are super ugly (ill fitting top and hammer pants bottoms, yuck). But sometimes we get so much crap on them (blood, amniotic fluid, poop, puke…) that I’m glad to be able to take them off at the end of the shift and have the hospital wash and clean them.

    Reply

  87. I’m loving Tarte shadows lately! And my work dress code is a little nebulous – I doubt anyone would say anything if I work flip flops, but I try to stick to dressier sandals. Maybe this summer, though!

  91. rain rain go away! its raining here in hamilton, ontario, canada.

    but some nice blush would certainly cheer me up 🙂

  96. The only work “uniform” I ever had was navy polo shirts and khaki pants, which is… like one degree off from regular clothes. I was a cashier at a drugstore. Then I became a pharmacy tech, where we wore khakis, white t-shirts, and white lab coats; later, I got an intern license, when we could wear normal clothes under the lab coat. I’ve been rocking the “black pants from Express and cute sweater or button-down” as a quasi-uniform ever since!

    Reply

  98. My first time trying a Tarte product was after I saw your review for their Tinted Moisturizer. I ran out, purchased Agent 14 and haven’t looked back since 🙂 Love their products!! These blushes look fab and would love to try them as well!

  120. Omg yes I had to wear a uniform, when I worked at a fast food restaurant. It smelled so bad, like grease! I ended up keeping the hat, as a memento, when I quit but after several washes the thing still smelled bad. I keep it in a ziploc bag now! lol Some memento!

  123. Hi, 🙂 love these blushes very much.

    I wore a uniform at my very first job, when I was fourteen. All white with a horrible green apron. I’d bring a change of clothes because being seen outside of work with them was a scary thought

  146. I was never into blush until, well a couple of days ago. And now, I am so into how much a difference a pop of color on the cheeks make! And I’ve been using eyeshadow to experiment…

  148. Because of you, I am a proud owner of the tarte dollface blush. I love it! And it was a real mission to locate, since it was oos in all the sephoras around me! I drove from Pasadena to Rancho Cucamonga (and all the sephoras in between) just to get my hands on it 😀

  154. Flip flops to work: hells yes! 😀 My office is pretty casual and most of us wear jeans and sneakers on a regular basis.

  181. I was a veterinary technician for many years and had to wear a white uniform. I enjoyed working this way. I didn’t have to waste money on work clothes. Instead, I spent my money on great casual and going out clothing.

  182. I have a Tarte cheek stain in Blissful. I also once bought the cheek stain in Eco-Cheek and I LOVED the color, but had to return it because it looked horrendous on my oily skin and large pores after a few hours.

  184. I’ve been trying to get myself to eat more yogurt and I discovered that the trick for me is to eat sugar-laden yogurt like Yoplait. I was trying to be super-healthy and eat unsweetened Greek yogurts like FAGE, but I didn’t enjoy eating them. So given the choice between eating yogurt and not eating yogurt at all, I guess I might as well eat the sugar-laden stuff!

    Reply

  185. I’ve never had to wear a uniform to work…but I wore uniforms to school for 16 years! I’m a scientist, so I get to wear pretty much anything to work….except flip flops (and shorts). I’d have to say my favourite Tarte product would be their Lipsurgence Natural Matte in Envy- it’s very my lips but better.

    Love your blog btw- checking it every day is my little after-work ritual 🙂

    Reply

  186. I love love love the Tarte gel cheek stains-my fave Tarte product! I’ve had these blushes on my wish list for a while-the cheek gels don’t work as well as powders over heavier foundation. If I don’t win, I’ll probably buy these anyway!

  194. Well, I had never ever had to wear an uniform to school.

    Today it “Carnaval” in the Netherlands and we go out al day dancing on the streets and wearing silly outfits with epic make-up and weird wigs (just like Halloween). And we drink beer ALL DAY LONG! (kind of disturbing).

  259. Yes, I do wear a unifrom to work, scrubs with my company’s logo. Feels like wear pajamas all day.

    I wish I had a desk of my own. I have one I use all day, but I have to share it with the night shift. Otherwise it would be decorated with picutes of my love, James Franco, and my dog. And maybe my boyfriend.

    I love tarte’s amazon clay eyeshadow trio. I got in it a set form QVC and adore it. I like their gel eyeliners and lipglosses too.

    I wish I could wear flip-flops to work. But alsa, I must wear closed-toe shoes.

  311. Would I wear flip flops to work? No way! I’ve been tempted sometimes, it’s true, but I work in a library– and having a bin full of fat ref books roll over my toes in closed-toe shoes was painful enough, I can’t imagine how much it would’ve hurt in flops!

  333. I’ve worn a uniform to work almost all my adult life, first for 21 years in the Navy, and now at my local police department. It makes choosing what to wear really easy, but I miss playing with color, cut, and jewelry.

    My favorite tarte cosmetics are their 24/7 tinted lip balms. They have SPF!

  354. Long time reader, first time commenter (please excuse the lameness of that statement). These blushes are lovely! Blushing Bride kind of reminds me of what Natalie Portman had on at the Oscars.

    Also, I would never wear flip flops to the office. I’m an undergrad in SoCal, and I don’t even wear flip flops to class if I can avoid it. My feet are a bit too embarrassing.

    I do not own a variety of blushes, just a few. One of my favorite is Tarte’s cheek stain in blissful. I love it because its oil free and feels nice on my skin!!!

  394. I am loving tarte’s new mascara that they launched on qvc not too long ago. first use i was like eh. Gave it another try and was like yowza. I have decent lashes so most mascaras don’t do much for me. I think I have found my HG mascara and along with Bare Escentuals.

  401. I actually do wear flip flops at work. But only secretly under my desk when I’ve worn an especially painful pair of heels to work that day. And I try not to let anyone see.

  405. Have been admiring these gorgeous blushes since they first were launched but have yet to make a purchase, probably because I’d never be able to choose only one color and would therefore have to buy the whole collection. I’ve heard only positive comments about these babies and would love the opportunity to try one. As always, thansk for another great giveaway and for all the hard work and time you put into making the lives of your fans a little more fun.

  412. Flip Flops to work are a “do” for me! I am lucky enough to work in a Surf Shop, during the summer wearing anything else on my feet feels wrong 😀

  415. I am on a Tarte kick lately…..I love the lights, camera, flashes mascara……my HG for sure!! These blushes would go perfect with my cheek stains…..I have both Tipsy and Blushing Bride I love both of these colors!!!

    Reply

  416. Those colors look gorgeous! I don’t think I’ve ever owned a blush with gold flecks, so I’m curious to see how Blushing Bride looks on!

    Reply

  417. No flip flops at work for me… although I wish they were allowed especially in summer. I just got the new Tarte blush in blissful, so far I think I like it. I wish they would expand their color range, I am all about lots of options.

  433. I worked in a chemical lab for 5 years after university; lab coat, gloves, and safety glasses. When we were working with the extra bad stuff (a small bit on this skin can kill), we had to wear a full body green neoprene suit and a plastic face shield, cute! 😀

  442. I hope that I get chosen. I dragged my boyfriend to a mall almost an hour away and made him suffer through my Sephora playtime. I think my squealing when I swatched these blushes scared him. Poor thing.

    Also, could you recommend a good tinted moisturizer for chocolate gals that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg? I’m trying to will myself away from buying Laura Mercier oil-free.

  445. yup, had to wear a uniform at my part time job held during my high school days. the shirt given was really long and me being petite, i had a hard time trying to tuck it in! hehe..

    Reply

  450. I’ve never worn flip flops TO work, but I’ve kept them under my desk so that I could change into them after school let out (and sometimes even during the day if my feet were really killing me).

  452. i would be fired sooo quick if i ever wore flip flops to work! a constantly revisited topic at staff meetings: dress code! lol

  454. Those blushes are so lovely.

    And I don’t think I could wear flip flops to work! I have to chase kids around a lot of the time, and i feel like the flip flops could create a hazardous situation…

  457. the only time i wore uniform to office was when we had planned to celebrate childrens day[14 nov is childrens day in india]. I wore my old school uniform i was so overjoyed to fit into it again.I really want to win this giveaway as i am dying to try all the products available in US, as back home we dont get all these.

  458. Flip-flops! Yes!!! I am a girl from Texas. My previous employer from whom I use to work at her boutique encouraged that we wore cute flip-flops, but that is just the Texan way, lol.

  460. OMG I want these really bad!! The colors are gorgeous!! Ive been looking for new blushes to add to my collection 🙂

  461. I love blush!!! I can’t get enough and I want to try them all. Can’t wait til my Sephora gets them here. Agh, the only bad thing about living in Hawaii is that it always takes us longer to get things here.

  463. Okay so we can talk about anything right? Alright 🙂

  465. I’m so happy to be done with high school and having to wear a uniform every day. Not that it stopped me from changing it to suit my style, I still maintain that ‘navy blue sweater’ means i can wear my cardigan instead of a bulky itchy school sweater. BTW these blushes look amazing.

    Reply

  467. I’ve never had to wear a uniform before, which I count myself as lucky for. I was having enough trouble with mandatory P.E. outfits we for an hour a day in school – imagining that for a couple more hours makes me cringe!

  469. When I was in my early 20’s I worked for the Esprit store in Los Angeles—we wore uniforms—but it was fun. We wore camp shirts on top (like an oversized men’s dress shirt) every quarter they gave us shirts 2 black, 2 white, and then 2 usually a bright color–they were great shirts. Then we wore black pants, bottoms—anything as long as they were Esprit. The best part they gave us an allowance–we got a certain amount to spend on clothes each quarter, any shoes and black bottoms. If we went over our allowance and we could wear it at work we got it for 50% off. Best job ever–they always had healthy food for us, and they were always giving us new products to try. Paid 100% of our health insurance, free gym memberships, paid 50% towards ant cultural event we wanted to attend.
    Then the owners divorced–brought in an outside firm to run things and we lost all our perks—they cut the staff from 180 down to 30–it stopped being fun. I miss the good old days when my employer actually cared about it’s employees.

  487. These blushes are still gorgeous :).

    I’d never wear flip-flops to work… well, I don’t have a work yet, but I wouldn’t :D. I’m not really wearing flip-flops anywhere else, either, I just think they look silly and the thing that comes between my toes always hurting my skin like hell (vene if I wear it for a minute to try it on). I’m not really sure what kind of workplace I’m gonna get into, but I reckon I’d wear classier footwear when I go to work :D.

  490. I used to wear a uniform to school, which is so rare in my country. Needless to say, it didnt flatter me at all. Imagine like a really baggy, shapeless track suit in the most hideous dark blue color. Sheesh. I hated it. Thank goodness it is in the past.

  496. I love that Tarte uses eco-friendly ingredients and packaging for its products, but I tried their eyelash enhancer and it didn’t do anything for me at all. I was really disappointed especially because it cost quite a bit. Other than that, I’m generally a big Tarte fan.

    I’ve never really tried Tarte stuff, but my skin seems to be getting more sensitive with age (!?!?!) and I’m starting to switch to more natural/organic lines for skincare…The blushes sound awesome! Would love to win!

  515. I don’t know what it is but I go on makeup tangents. Lately, it’s all about cheeks! I am obsessing over blushes; all colors, textures, etc. Having never tried Tarte I thought I’d enter the giveaway. I’ve read up on their brand story and really like what they stand for and are trying to do. Plus, these colors look gorgEous!! xoLiz

  523. I’m an actual adult person that doesn’t know how to wear blush. I would love to learn though, as I’ve just recently started wearing eyeshadow.

    Yep, have had to wear a uniform to work. Wore one for 5 years when I was teaching English in Mexico. And I definitely wear flip flops to work…I now work at a community center and if I don’t have meetings out of the office, it’s just me and some gang members, so it’s cool.

  531. I am becoming obsessed with Tarte. I love the LipSurgence pencil in Amused. And the Rise and Shine stain and gloss in Cherry and Berry. And the Lock and Rock eye shadow stick in purple but can’t remember the name. And the last palette of 10 neutral shadows, Femme Neutral I think. Excited to try the new blushes.

  536. I’ve never had a job before but I would NEVER wear flip flops to/at work. That just screams unprofessionalism, no matter how casual your work attire is allowed to be. Maybe for comfort on the way there is acceptable but I would never wear it while I was in business attire etc. Very excited for the giveaway! 😀
