tarte summer 2009

Even though it's not actually the first day of summer, this weekend definitely makes everyone feel that summer is right around the corner.

One of our fave brands, Tarte, has already released their summer collection for 2009.

Loving pretty much everything I'm seeing.

First off, they're adding a new natural cheek stain to their lineup...this one being a shimmery coral color called eco-cheek.

You know how much I adore their stains.

Another addition that's got my attention is celluFIGHT ($40). It's being billed as a natural anti-cellulite self tanner that my thighs are screaming out for around this time of the year. I mean, really, they will not see sunlight unless they're in check.

It is said to work on all skin tones and is formulated with skinTIGHT complex™ a proprietary anti-cellulite complex that firms and tones skin while improving elasticity.

Plant and bio-nutrient extracts boost cellular metabolism shedding excess fat tissue. Caffeine (green tea extract) helps stimulate blood flow immediately reducing "the orange peel" effect (i.e. dimpling) on problem areas such as waist, hips, thighs and buttocks. This anti-cellulite self-tanner contains clinically-proven antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that prevent the long-term build-up of fat tissue under the skin.

Considering lipo won't be happening anytime soon, and nothing else can give you immediate results...it's something that's worth a shot at least I figure.

I'll be testing this one out and give you the 411, once I've had the chance to see what happens.

Another item that's got my attention is their eyeQuatic waterproof summer essentials set ($35).

It comes with a with a mod headscarf, as well as 3 mermaid-inspired lock & roll creaseless cream & powder shadow duos and a deluxe lights, camera, splashes! waterproof mascara.

Just as an fyi, the lock & roll shade descriptions are...turquoise, citrine, and tanzanite.

All should look insanely perfect with your summertime (faux) glow.

You can find Tarte at tarte.com, Sephora, sephora.com, beauty.com, Henri Bendel, and boutiques nationwide.
