This was such a fantastic deal!! I’m regretting getting the aquacealer concealer over the 12-hour stick concealer but I just feel like the liquid one will look better on my dry patches. Otherwise I got the mermaid bag, creamy powder foundation, amazonian clay 12-hour blush in blissful, power pigment in blushing bride, metallic shadow in grind, and lights camera waterproof mascara (since I live in a rainy place). I also added on the bamboo foundation brush for $10. So excited!!

Glad they ran out of light concealers by the time I saw this.
This is fun and I would recommend everyone try out once, but doing this a second time feels redundant.

This did not end up working out well for me at all. I realize that things go out of stock quickly in a sale, but sheesh. Between trying to research the products for the best fit and colors in a second browser window and things continually selling out between me putting the kit into my cart and being able to click on the cart and check out and finally after having made a color substitution that probably wouldn’t even work with concealer, because it sold out while I was replacing something else that sold out, I pushed through to check out and as it was processing my card, the foundation sold out. I give up on this one!

I caved. Bad me. Should be saving money for something else probably but I want it!

So I priced these all out based on their current prices on Tarte’s website – some are on sale right now, some aren’t. If you get the cheapest option every time, your bag’s value is $138, and if you get the most expensive option every time it’s $198. That’s using $36 for all bag prices.

FYI they valued the bags at $36. I really want to know how big they are, I can’t tell from just the pics.

I saw a video with the model filling up the pink tassel bag (which is the one I got) and it looked really large to me.

The purple one looks like the one I chose for the past two Tarte bags, and it was a typical makeup bag size… definitely larger than an Ipsy size bag though.

They are completely out of any concealer selections for lighter skin 🙁 I wish I could sub in another category.

They never include the base product from them that I actually use, the Amazonian clay BB SPF 20 tinted moisturizer. I never want to use full coverage foundation unless I’m going to a formal event where I will be photographed, like a wedding. It’s a shame that they assume everyone wants to do a full face all the time. Especially not in the summer! If they included the BB cream I would definitely get this because I love Lights Camera Splashes too.

I always get “full coverage” Matte foundation, so I can make it dewy or sheer if I want to by adding a drop of a face oil, luminizer, or elixir. I also sheer it out if I want to with a damp beautyblender. Then I only need one foundation for all occasions. Works like a charm, even on my more mature skin.
I have my holy grail foundation (Lancôme Teint Idole 24hr) so I got the shape tape to try in a darker shade to customize for my darker summer skin. The kit is worth it to me for the other items alone anyway.

Well, I was thinking about it, but they don’t have any light concealer. I am about as light as they come, so……
Saved me $63.

Same here. I was super excited until I realized there was no light concealers.

There was 🙁 The stock on the light ones ran out quick. I went back to buy a second on a different concealer I wanted to try and my shade was out on that when it wasn’t when I checked out on the first one just 10 minutes prior.

I went for it even though I am not sure about my shade selections esp. on the foundation and concealer. By the time I checked out I had to change my color selections because my original picks were sold out. :/ I have fair olive skin and rosy cheeks, I ended up with the shape tape hydrating foundation in fair beige and the maracuja creaseless concealer in light sand. Hope they work out. I also would have liked to have been able to research my options ahead of time as I am not familiar with their foundations/concealers.

Did you by any chance get a confirmation email once you placed your order? I was having issues with my phone so I didn’t think it placed. Checked my bank account and seen the charge but I can’t even review my order in the Tarte website. I don’t understand what happened.
Reply
Apricot
Yes, I did receive a confirmation email nearly right away.
It took ~45 minutes to get my email confirmation and the order to show up in my order history. It was a stressful time this morning!
Christine
Are these full size products or sample sizes?

Went through, built my order, looked at it for a bit and closed down the site. I don’t need it and don’t need to waste the money. I feel better.

I did the same thing. I’m a redhead with cool undertones. Matching foundation is tedious and mufe is my go to. I didn’t want to be stuck with foundation or concealer I won’t use. If I could’ve traded those 2 items in for a pallet instead then I would’ve been more likely to buy.
Reply
Lindsey
Same here, except I found matching foundation only through cover fx. I like tarte, but one fair beige is not ubiquitous across their foundations, let alone concealer, so just too risky.

I’ve done this in the past too, but then when I change my mind and go back, sometimes choices are sold out. This time I went ahead and got it early when I was excited to see there were better foundation choices this time. Plus I’d much rather have concealer than a brush. That big wide bamboo brush I got last time is pretty to look at, but awkward as heck to use.

Me too. I found myself settling on the choices and I really only liked the blush and lip choices. So glad I did look tho, cured my curiosity.

I often do this, too. I realize I don’t need the order and close the site. Very satisfying feeling. 😁

I did the exact same thing. No disrespect meant to purchasers at all. But I don’t remotely need any of these items. In fact, I have more than I can count right now. It was the right decision for me ; )

On a side note I wished they showed ahead of time what the choices were. Would have given me time to research the different products.

I was going to purchase but my total was only about $120 so it made no sense since several of the items weren’t even what I wanted.
For $63 I can get exact what I want so no value for me with the rest of the items which I picked because I needed to select something in the category. I’ve got blushers, eyeliner, highlighters for a lifetime.

Lily
Yeah that’s how much mine came up to as well but I couldn’t find the price of one of the eyeliners.
Reply
Tara
I was bummed they didn’t have any liquid liners left. I got a clay pot instead. I really debated on the foundation and now I’m regretting my choice lol. I am 35 with dry skin but I only like light coverage. I picked the shape tape but now I’m wishing I tried the powder foundation. Last time I used my bare minerals foundation was in my 20s. I bought it 2 years ago and couldn’t believe how bad it looked on my skin since I’ve aged. Would have liked to try a different brand. Oh well.

I prefer light coverage as well. I always cut whichever foundation I’m using with a serum, moisturizer or face oil. It usually sheers it out nicely and gives me that extra bit of moisture.

No brushes offered this time 🙁
Reply
Lily
There was a brush offered at the time of check out for $10. This was the first time I made this purchase during the sale offering. Almost $80 total at the end including the 7 items + the $10 brush + $7 shipping. Is this worth the price at the end I’m not sure yet. I don’t buy much from the Tarte brand even though I like one of their eyeliners and mascaras.

Were you charged shipping? I was not. shipping should be free for $40+

Didnt get everything I wanted but did get this! And yes I will be swapping the mermaid bag, I have way too many bags

I wonder how much the mermaid bag cost because my total is about $60 short of the $200 value listed on their website.
Reply
Elizabeth
I just added up the value of what seemed to be highest priced items offered and it came to $165 so bags must be valued at $35 to make that $200. Seems odd but still a decent deal for me to try new things.

Yeah my total RV for mine is 160. Hmm.
