Totally Worth All The Hype: Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush.

I adore a good blush. My collection is not quite as massive as Tracy’s, but it’s of a good size.  I can tell you now that none of my powder blushes are as good as this: the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush ($33).

A little background on my skin: it’s oily.  Very oily.  My powder blushes — even the NARS ones — don’t stand a chance on my cheeks when I wear them all day.  My skin makes the stuff melt off after just a few hours of applying them.

When I bought Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful, my life totally changed.  Colours now appear brighter.  Food is more delicious.  The sky is even bluer.  You get the point, this stuff is the bomb.com.

Why is it awesome?  First, I just love that Tarte is a natural line.  The pigmentation of the blush is out of this world.  The finish is so natural; it is neither totally matte nor shimmery.  Aaaaaand today, it lasted through the sticky, thunder-storming day we had in Toronto.  Hallelujah!
