Top 5 Favorite Tarte Products

I feel like I have talked about this before, but in case I haven't my all time favorite makeup brand is Tarte. That is actually why I wanted to work for Tarte, because I love them so much for so many reasons. Since I'm doing my top 5 favorite products I'll list my top 5 reasons I love Tarte Cosmetics.

1. They are very philanthropic. Tarte is always giving back and even have an anti cyber-bullying campaign called Kiss and Make Up. 
2. They are cruelty free, even PETA certified. That means all the way down to the manufactures they don't test on animals.
3. The quality of the products is great. Great pigment and the products last on your skin all day.
4. They always have the cutest packaging!
5. It is a good price point for prestige products.

Now that I have told you a few reasons I love Tarte, let me show you my top 5 favorite products I'm loving right now.

1. Shape tape contour concealer is hands down my favorite concealer of life! I have been using it since it came out and will continue to use it until something better comes out, which will probably never happen. I am pretty excited about the new packaging of the maracuja creaseless concealer though.
2. The tarteist lash paint was my favorite mascara, but now it is the Maneater mascara. I still love lash paint, but to get the drama with that you have to put several coats and with Maneater I just have to do one coat.
3. My new favorite palette for summer that I have been using almost everyday is the Be a Mermaid and Make Waves palette from the limited edition mermaid collection. Once again Tarte killed it with their packaging. That may be another reason I love it so much because it's in a sea shell. The colors are so pretty too. There are some neutrals along with some pops of color.
4. I have also been loving one of the newer shades of the chrome paint shadow pots in the shade frose. It is pink with some gold in it too. The best part about the shadow pots is you can use your finger to apply them, so they are super quick and easy to use.
5. I love a good orangey-red lipstick for the summer, so when they came out with new bright shades in the rainforest of the sea color splash lipsticks I was so excited. My new favorite color is called Sundaze. It is the perfect orangey-red!
6. Ok, so technically this is 6, but I thought I would share my all time favorite palette, Tartelette 2 in bloom. It is a permanent palette, so that's why I wanted to share that one too. I actually wore it for my wedding, so that's how much I love it.

ABH x Amrezy Highlighter Dupe

This weeks frugal Friday I am going to share a makeup dupe. Sadly I’m not the one who discovered it, my friend Christina @glitz_n_glam found it and I wanted to share it too! Y’all have to go check her out on Instagram and YouTube! She is an amazing makeup artist! Anyway, she was doing a live video on Instagram and I saw her swatch the dupe and it was sooo similar I had to get it and try for myself. The “high end” product is the Anastasia Beverly Hills x Amrezy collab highlighter which retails for $28, and the drugstore dupe is the L.A. Colors strobing illuminating powder in the shade champagne which retails for, are you ready for this.............$3!! I found mine at Dollar General! So if you can't find the Amrezy highlighter or if you don't want to spend $28 on a highlighter, definitely get the one from L.A. Colors. I think that brand is at Walmart as well. I took a picture of the swatches side by side, so hopefully you can tell in the picture. If y'all try it out you will have to let me know what you think!
