Tarte TSV 15/10/16

[donna255]

So a woman on the Q Facebook was complaining when she pumped the pump nothing was coming out. She just could not get the pump to work and was going to have to send the whole thing back. Someone had to explain it was a dropper and you had to pump the top then unscrew and use the dropper. She mustn't have watched any of the shows. Even so I am sure she must have come across a dropper bottle once in her life.

That person may have been using the product in correctly, but that dropper is pants though. I thought mine was just a dud when I first bought this a few months ago, but my foundation from this TSV is just as rubbish for application as that one (which I sent back because the dropper annoyed me & the colour was wrong).

How are people enjoying their TSV's? I'm always late to the party as it takes at least two weeks to get here! :0

I'm enjoying mine, really like all of it. Apart from that bloody dropper for the foundation. I hate that.

I am enjoying it too. I am mixing the Tarte foundation with the one in the tube from a previous TSV. The foundation with the dropper is not the best delivery system and I my frugal side is already sensing that a lot of product will be wasted. The brush is beautiful. The eyeliner is gorgeous. People seem to love the lipstick, but my bad luck, all the Tarte lipsticks seem to turn a Barbie, bubblegum pink on me. However, it does go on beautifully, really moisturising and a lovely hint of vanilla.

I like mine, not mad about the brush now. I washed it and still have some foundation on the bristles, so using my own Real Techniques brush instead.

The drops on the brush method smacks of a cynical marketing ploy to make you use more foundation that you need; the brush absorbs way too much product, so my preferred method is to whack it on with my finger tips (mostly) and then use a dry flat top kabuki to buff to a seamless finish. If I've got more time I'd rather use a thin, flat foundation brush to apply it- like painting. All credit to Smashbox I'm still using 3 of their foundation brushes (number 13) in rotation all bought when they were still on QVC with Timber and Daniel. I still have a brand new one somewhere, bought from the much missed JustBeautyDirect.

I had the same issue - I washed mine at weekend and there was still foundation in it once it had finally dried.

Is anyone using the silicone brush cleansing mats,I can't make up my mind about them.

 

[donna255]

No, I use Dr.Bonner liquid soap bought cheap in TKMaxx.

Yes that's where I buy mine from it's so gentle.

 

[Sussex Shopper]

Off topic but I bought a litre of beautiful French liquid hand wash, no nasties, for £5.99 in TKmaxx. Beat that Alexis. Dr Bronner is brilliant stuff too.

I ordered two shades in the end, as couldn't make up my mind between Fair-Light Neutral and Light Neutral. Not the most economical way to do it, but I was expecting the TSV to sell out, and at least it saved me having to wait for Q to process an exchange. The Light Neutral was too orange on me, but the Fair-Light Neutral was just right. Gave a nice, natural finish, that held up to a 15 hour day. Didn't find the coverage amazing, certainly not as good as the 12hr foundation, but a much better shade on me. The lipstick was the only thing I really wasn't keen on, thought it was a bit of an old fashioned colour. Looked a bit Dame Barbara Cartland on me (particularly with the orange foundation!)

Just wondering if anyone knows when the Tarte auto delivery is due out and exactly what's in it? I'm sure someone on here posted photos of the auto deliveries but for the life of me I can't seem to find them??? Does anyone know exactly what will be included in both drops because there were a few differences weren't there? An eyeliner included in the first one in the description but not in the photo and a palette in the second but in the photo a silly contour stick!! Oh I wish they didn't do so many **** ups......it seems to happen a lot and is very confusing!
On the other hand.......I don't bloody need any more make-up and am trying to talk myself into cancelling it lol

Pictures, if they work!

 

[Breeze]

Incidentally the third & last drop of the June TSV arrived today.

 

[honey72]

Thanks Breeze, so we are getting an Amazon Clay Silk Eyeliner in Black-Brown in the first delivery? I'm sure the picture shown didn't have one included? Oh well, time will tell I suppose.

Oh lol just posted before I saw the pictures, so there is no eyeliner! What the hell are they playing at! That palette looks VERY similar to the last one too doesn't it. Hmmm maybe I should cancel. Are you still getting yours?

 

[Breeze]

I'll get the next one in January, see what's in it, but I think I'll cancel the last one as I really don't fancy a crayon sculptor or whatever it is. It isn't what they advertised in the blurb anyway as says a palette, though I think Leigh did mention it was a crayon ( only once & if you blinked you missed it)
