Tarte Clay Stick Foundation Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Tarte Clay Stick Foundation ($39) (0.32 oz) is a new 12-Hour matte foundation stick that the brand recently released for Summer 2017 in 12 shade selections. I happen to be a rather sympathetic fool for Benefit Play Sticks which is probably why I ended up purchasing one of the Tarte Clay Stick Foundations. I was having a nostalgic moment but also, I tend to forget how much I love the simplicity of swiping on my foundation, blending out, and just going.

I realized that the matte formula wasn’t exactly my ideal pick for foundation since I have dry skin but I had hopes that it would work as well as the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer did. And also, Summer is coming up and I tend to be a bit shiny and oily around my T-Zone so, I thought I might just be able to get away with the matte finish.

Tarte markets these new foundation sticks as a foundation and contouring tool all-in-one just like the Shape Tape Contour. If you’re purchasing a few different shades you can probably easily use these to contour with but considering the size and cost that might be a bit expensive. I purchased it solely as a foundation and that’s how I’ll be reviewing it in this post.

L’Oreal Pure Clay Clay Masks are now formulated and available as a Pure Clay Cleanser! L’Oreal Pure Clay Cleansers are a new take on the Pure Clay Mask formula and available in three formulations. Interesting right? If you loved the mask formula perhaps the cleansers will rock your world. I did liked the L�Oreal Pure-Clay Mask Exfoliate and Refine Pores but wasn’t in love with the Pure-Clay Mask Detox & Brighten Treatment Mask. I never did buy the Exfoliate and Refine Pores formula though as the scent was a bit overpowering! Hopefully the cleansers are scented a little more subtly.

Let’s take a look!

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Metallic Lipcolor for Summer 2017

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

There are even more metallics on the way for Summer 2017! The new Revlon Ultra HD Matte Metallic Lipcolor ($9.99) is a retake on the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolors that launched in 2015. Recently, L’Oreal surprised us with a new range of Infallible Paints Eyeshadow Metallics & Infallible Paints Lips Metallics but L’Oreal isn’t the only one embracing this trend for Summer looks!

One of the more interesting things I’m see about Maybelline lately is the fact they are going a little daring with their shade releases. For Summer 2017, they have a range of Color Sensational Matte Metallic Lipsticks in shades of green and blue. The new Matte Metallic Lipcolor gets some of the same treatment with shades like HD Glitz, a navy blue metallic and HD Dazzle a vibrant purple.
