Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Marine Boosting Mist

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Marine Boosting Mist ($25) bulletproofing your makeup since 2016. Whoa! Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Marine Boosting Mist is a new four-in-one facial mist that acts as a primer, makeup setting spray, hydrating mist, and skin refresher which launched with the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Collection exclusively available at Sephora.

No secret, I love a good hydrating facial mist so I was excited about this mist but it’s actually more of a makeup setting mist for me versus a hydrating primer.

Here’s the deets.

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

Too Faced La Matte Lipsticks

Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick ($22) are a new Ulta exclusive matte version of the Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Cream Lipstick. As a lover of the La Creme formula I was positive the La Matte formula would be just as amazing even if I’m not a fond fan of matte lipsticks.

The Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick is available in 10 shade selections and are an early Summer 2016 release of sorts that promise a formula that’s soft, pigmented, and non drying with a finish that promises not to feather or bleed.

Are Ulta and Sephora Exclusives a new makeup trend we’ll start to see happen in the future?

Recently, Tarte intentionally or unintentionally started a new trend by introducing their Rainforest of the Sea Summer 2016 Collection exclusively at Sephora. This was an extensive collection that includes a range of lip, face, eye, and skincare products. But wait there’s more…! Tarte also introduced their new Double Duty Beauty Collection exclusively to Ulta which also included a completely range of makeup. Both collections are quite large!

Now we’ve seen exclusive products here and there in the past both two complete collections? Unheard of until now.

Fast forward to this past Sunday when Too Faced launched their Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette as well as their new La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick on their website and Ulta. Both the palette and the lipsticks are only available at Ulta and on Too Faced’s own website. So no, Sephora won’t be getting either product. We have yet to hear if Sephora will get an exclusive selection of products from Too Faced as well but I think it might be safe to say that they’ll be something cool in the works for Sephora and Too Faced fans.

I do wonder if they’ll be more brands that will start introducing two separate collections one of which can be purchased at Ulta and the other at Sephora.
