Review+Swatches of Amused and Natural Beauty

What Sephora says:

What it is:

A long-wearing, solar-baked blush that lasts up to 12 hours. 

What it does:

Infused with natural clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun, this nutrient-rich blush benefits all skin types for a fade-free flawless finish for an amazing 12 hours. Inspired by Tarte's best-selling shades of cheek stains and lip tints, the colors range from soft to vivid to suit a wide variety of skintones. For oily skin types, Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. Those with dry skin will benefit from the clay's nourishing and hydrating properties, which naturally restore skin's moisture. Combination skin types can rely on its ability to zero in on skin concerns and deliver benefits to restore complexion harmony. The result? Blush that wears better, longer, and truer! 

What it is formulated WITHOUT:

- Parabens

- Sulfates

- Synthetic Fragrances

- Petrochemicals

- Phthalates

- GMOs

- Triclosan 

What else you need to know:

This blush features the following Skinvigorating™ ingredients: Vitamins A and E, two natural preservatives that act as anti-inflammatory emollients and protect against free radical damage; Vitamin C, an antioxidant that fights free radical damage and prevents oxidative stress and premature signs of aging, while brightening the skin; Amazonian clay, a nutrient-rich, multitasking, skin-balancing clay that reduces dryness and flakiness, improves skin clarity, elasticity, firmness, and texture while removing oil from the skin's surface for smooth application and wear.

Size: 0.2 oz

I have one of the new blushes in the shade: Blissful. I have not tried Tarte's cheekstain's so I cannot comment on how the colors compare. I do know that with my oily skin I always pick powder over gel or cream so that is a definitely a plus with these blushes! On the Sephora website it is described as a "warm peach." I love Tarte for all of the good ingredients that they put in all of their products and with Tarte, I always expect quality products and this is no exception. Some matte blushes can feel a little chalky when applied, but Tarte's blushes are so pigmented and silky smooth when applied to the skin. I have oily skin and sometimes I have issues with blushes lasting all day, but this is one blush that lasts for at least 8 hours which is fantastic! I am in love with these blushes and I already have two more on the way! So, definitely look for another post on Tarte's Amazonian Clay 12-Hour blush in Amused next.
