This review has been a long time coming!
I was lucky enough to receive this and another shade in a swap with Kristine - link,
I completely forgot to review either shade so I'm righting my wrongs
and commencing with Tarte Amazon Clay Blush in shade Tipsy!
Each shade in the Tarte Amazon Clay Blush range comes neatly presented in a round plastic compact,
the colour of the compact reflects the shade inside which is a lovely touch,
I mean who doesn't like things to be colour coordinated haha!
Inside the compact along with the blush is a large mirror - great for on the go touch ups
and if you flip the blush over on to its rear you will see a ready made pin hole
for ease of de-potting the product should you wish to do so.
I quickly want to state that the packaging is sturdy not to mention pretty!
Tipsy is of course a beautiful warm coral shade.
In my opinion it is just the perfect blend of pink and peach with light red tones
never leaning to heavily on one end of the spectrum.
Although the shade is warm in tone I don't feel it is overly so thus can be used by any skin under tone.
Tipsy is matte in formula and once applied it gives a beautiful healthy glow effect,
such a prefect shade for the upcoming warmer weather don't you think?
If you have never encountered a Tarte Amazon Clay Blush then you are in for a pleasant surprise
the first time you ever swatch one or touch one!
The pigmentation is incredible, I have never experienced a blush quite as intense as this formula.
One little swipe is literally all it takes for incredible colour pay off!
To top this off the blush is really soft to touch and applies/blends like a dream.
It feels light and silky on the skin and is extremely comfortable to wear.
As earlier mentioned this formula is incredibly pigmented and will show even on the deepest skin tones
without appearing ashen, always a good thing!
The Tarte Amazon Clay Blushes are marketed as 12 hour wear products
which I find to be a slight exaggeration, I found them to wear for around 8-9 hours before signs of wear
and fading appeared. So yes they wear well but not quite the full 12 hours.
Product Summary
Round Up - A beautiful well pigmented coral blush.
Best For - Everyone, the formula is long wearing, silken and comes in a great range of shades.
Pigmentation - (9.5/10) I really wanted to give it the full 10 but then that leaves no range nor room
for improvement haha!
Availability - Hard to source in the U.K the only option is eBay the cheapest I found is just over £21
and that includes p&p - link
It sounds amazing, shame it's not readily available in Europe!
ReplyDeletecouldn't agree more! It is hard being a european sometimes haha!
DeleteI really like the look of this xxx
