(stock photo from sephora.com)I ordered this from sephora on friday night and just got it today! I prefer USPS priority mail since its quicker and more convienient for me.
I used my fan friday gift card on this purchase!
The retail value is $60, but it sells at sephora.com for $35. I believe it is also an exclusive to sephora. As of 10/3/12, the product is out of stock and it appears that it won't return for another 2 weeks.
So, what do you get in this set? Well, you get 4 mini blushes. Each blush is .1 oz. Not bad at all. Full-sized is is .2, so each one is half-sized.
Packaging- If you've never had a tarte mini blush, then a few things to note. All of these blushes are magnetic and can be easily depotted and put in something like a Z palette. Also, the minis dont have a mirror on the inner lid like the full sized, but that doesn't bother me since I dont plan to apply these on the go, but they could easily be thrown in a makeup bag.
What colors do you get?
- The first color is called Angelic, a "shimmery champagne" To me, this color is the biggest let down. It is more like a highlighter than a blush. It is also a glittery shade, rather than a matte like the other 3. If you are looking for a good highlighter, then this maybe a good one for you.
- The second one is called Fantastic, a "soft fuschia" I think of this as a barbie pink blush. I really don't own a pink blush that is so deep in pigmentation and the color is quite shocking at first. I really like how pretty the color looks on the cheeks.
- Next is Magic, a "peachy pink", that is a very close dupe to achiote or tipsy from the full-sized line. Its very wearable and a great everyday color for anyone. Its also matte, so its easy to sweep on a little bit and go.
- Last is Stellar, a "shimmering nude" I don't agree with this color description. Actually, its darker than my tarte park ave princess bronzer.... So I can see myself using this as a bronzer rather than a blush.
