As a wonderful birthday gift from my friend Chu [click here] (and I think Louie as well? I`m still not certain), I received Tarte`s natural beauty cheek stain blush in the color Tipsy [click here]. I did try that one out a few times, but it felt a bit sticky on my cheeks, it was a little bit difficult to control where I applied it.. and actually surprisingly it did not last very long in a day. Maybe it was just my skin type?

However, my wonderful friend got me a gift receipt and Sephora has a wonderful return policy, so I went and swapped it for Tarte`s Amazonian clay long-wear blush also in the color Tipsy [click here]. The staying power of this powdered version is remarkable, and the color is also very buildable so you can control just how pink (actually this is more of an almost coral color) you want your cheeks. I should also mention that it is very pigmented, so start with the tiniest amount so you don`t get pikachu cheeks! A little goes a long way with this product, which means it will last me forever :)

I really like this one, so if anyone`s looking for a good blush, give Tarte a try. It is also formulated without any “mineral oil, parabens, petrolatum, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate” or “synthetic fragrance”. I`m mostly happy about the lack of parabens.
