Tarte Summer '08

Tarte's summer collection is up on Sephora!

4 Day Stay Lash Stain (US$18) is an eyelash stain that keeps lashes looking naturally full for four days without reapplying. It "envelops lashes in long-lasting pigment while keeping them soft and flexible". It's formulated with PolyFlex™ technology: Cross-polymers are blended with mineral pigments and then treated with ProVitamin B5 to create a binding tint. So whether you're hitting the pool or hitting the shower this gentle lash stain will keep lashes looking fresh, and won't fade or flake. It is also synthetic dye-, mineral oil-, petro-chemical-, phthalate-, sulfate-, and fragrance-free.

Glam Gams Leg Bronzing Stick (US$30, 2 oz) gives legs a gorgeous beach-worthy faux glow. It's infused with Tarte's t5 super fruit complex™, a proprietary blend of the five most active superfruits: goji, acai, maracuja, acerola, and pomegranate and has a delightful natural fragrance. The first blend of its kind, the t5 super fruit complex™ is loaded with naturally occurring, antioxidant-rich nutrients and vitamins that have been known to deliver refining, antiaging, and skin-restorative benefits with each application. It's preservative-, paraben-, phthalate-, sulfate-, propylene glycol-, and mineral oil-free.

Enbrightenment BriteSmile® Whitener & Tarte Lipgloss (US$26, 2 x 0.05 oz) is a double-ended, tooth-whitening wand and lip gloss product. One side contains Tarte's t5 super fruit™-infused lipgloss and the other contains BriteSmile®'s proprietary teeth-whitening formula for easy on the go application. The result will give you something to grin about—because a healthy smile is a woman's best accessory. It is available in 2 shades, Pearly Pink and Radiant Red.

Overall, I'm disappointed that there isn't more new color makeup such as eyeshadow palettes but these products are still definitely worth checking out.
