Tarte Double Duty Beauty

Hello and happy Thursday!

Today I’ve got some Tarte Double Duty Beauty goodies for you. This isn’t really the name of a collection, but rather some new items, some of which have a two-in-one feature, and also that are available only from Tarte themselves or Ulta.

The Make Magic Happen Eyeshadow Palette and Blush & Highlighter Blush And Glow are both limited edition and the rest seems to be part of their Tarte Double Duty Beauty line-up.

Gleam Team, Arch Architect, Peachy Glow

Gleam Team Highlighter has a shimmery liquid rose gold on one end and a creamy golden pink on the other end.

Arch Architect comes in just one shade and it’s a medium cool-toned taupe brown. The other end is a clear gel.

Peachy Glow has a light peachy/pink matte blush and an intense shimmery gold/champagne.

There are some really great things here! The limited edition Make Magic Happen Eyeshadow palette was pretty nice and actually I was really impressed with how soft and even the matte shadows were. The shimmery ones are also nice, maybe not super duper pigmented, but they definitely still show up over a primer – expect a little fallout with them though. I am totally smitten with The Lip Architect shades here! Especially Romantic, Sweet Pea, Daisy and Muse. They are very creamy and soft, hydrating, pigmented and easy to wear. The Gleam Team Highlighter has really pretty colors for a nice golden glow, but I am not a huge fan of liquid glow-stuff for some reason. I prefer it in a stick or powder, so one half of this I would personally never use. The Arch Architect is interesting because it only comes in one shade, which I find…odd? It happens to be the kind of shade I always wear (cool-toned taupe) but seems like it wouldn’t really work for a lot of people. And finally the limited edition Peachy Glow Blush And Glow is good, not great. I felt like the blush color was a little chalky, but not too bad. The highlighter is very intense and shimmery though!

You can find these Tarte Double Duty Beauty treats on their site now and at Ulta.

Do you see anything here you will be splurging on?
