The Tarte Kiss & Blush Cream Cheek & Lip Palette

July 29th, 2016 by Karen 11 Comments

The new Tarte Kiss & Blush Cream Cheek & Lip Palette ($42)

Oh, OK… I get it.

I was wondering why Tarte decorated their new Kiss & Blush Cream Cheek & Lip Palette with sand dollars, since I usually associate those with summer and beaches, and the palette is out for fall, but check it: when you open the palette, the six pans are arranged in a star shape, like the shape in the center of a sand dollar.

See it?

Kinda cute, right?

The five outer pans are creams that you can wear on your lips and cheeks, and the smaller pan in the middle is an opalescent highlighter (also a cream) — all built around the theme of a natural, everyday look, which is another unusual move for Tarte, since fall is typically a time, at least in makeup marketing, for more serious, full-on makeup.

The colors are designed to play well with all skin tones, and the creamy formula, which is easy to blend on top of foundation or bare skin, is mega moisturizing (it contains vitamins C and E).

Speaking of sand dollars, I have a few of them that I’ve found over the years. Have you ever found a sand dollar at the beach?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

      Hi Sarah,

      Yes, if you wear cream blushes daily! You get a lot of shades here and they also double as lip colors. 🙂

    I have been considering getting either this palette or the cream blush/lip from Stila it is avaible in 2 shade selections. Anyone have any feedback about them or any of the three

    I like your sand dollar association, Karen! 🙂 But it’s also because it’s part of their rainforest of the sea collection, I believe! which should also make it a Sephora exclusive, while ulta sticks with its double duty line.

    it’s so confusing to me when brands have completely different sets of merchandise across two or three different retailers! it boggles my mind-organization! 🙂

    It definitely seems like a good value for people who love cream blushes but, I have to agree with you that the sand dollar theme (while very cute) has a distinctive summer vibe.

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
