Tarte Amazonian Clay - really full coverage / Tarte Maracuja Concealer - takes practice to use @tartecosmetics



Okay, so I appear completely without makeup on YouTube to do a test of Tarte foundation and concealer. This takes guts because my dark circles are horrendous. In this video, I do an on-screen test of Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation (in Fair Light Honey) and Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer (in Light).  I also demo Tarte’s Away Oui Go Portable Palette and collector’s set – I actually got this for my birthday in December.

The final result for the concealer was that it was overly thick, but with practice I was able to use it again (after this video was recorded) and the result was much better. It also truly remained creaseless. The foundation gives fairly heavy coverage that worked out better later, with a lighter touch. I am also now using my eye shadows and blushes more.

Paula's Choice Resist C15 Super Booster review, plus a few others

BzzAgent recently sent me free samples of Paula's Choice Resist C15 Super Booster, to try and review. These tiny vials of oil are supposed to help with wrinkles and dark spots, among other benefits. I had very high hopes for the oil and was rewarded with one positive benefit, but not the other.

I have not seen any difference in my wrinkles. I'll continue to use this until the last drop is gone and hope that eventually I'll see a change. What did happen, and it made it worth using this product, is some dark spots and discolorations did fade. Some faded so much that I had difficulty finding them again.

I have only one reservation about purchasing this product - price. There are other serums with the same ingredients at a much lower price. This normally retails for $48, but is currently on sale at the Paula's Choice website. There are other brands that are price between $25-30.

Below is a YouTube video where I review this product along with quite a few others:
