Tarte - Clean Slate Deluxe Primer Trio


There's something about beauty kits that makes me want to buy them all ! maybe it's the packaging or the fact that you are getting a complete set, I don't know, I just love them!

I bought this Tarte Clean Slate Deluxe Primer Trio at Sephora, the price was AMAZING! $9.00 dollars for a 3 piece kit? I couldn't pass that ! Although they are not full-size products, you have enough amount of product to know if it's right for you and if you want to buy the full-size later!
The kit includes  2 face primers and 1 eye primer.

This is what I experienced:
  • Tarte - Clean slate poreless 12-Hour Perfecting Primer (purple one): is a transparent waterproof primer,  feels very nice and it makes my skin smoother, it helps the makeup to stay in place longer, and the best of all, is that it minimizes my pores!
  • Tarte Clean Slate Flawless 12-Hour Brightening Primer (brown one): is a white light textured  cream, silicon free, that goes on very nice and smooth in your face, it's great for a matte finish, it also helps the makeup to stay in place longer and it gives you a brightening healthy complexion
  • Tarte Clean Slate 360° Creaseless 12-Hour Smoothing Eye Primer: it's a very liquid formula, it helps the eye shadow to stay perfect the whole day, I even noticed it made the colors a little bit bolder, I like to use it under my eyes too, so that my makeup for dark circles stays perfect  as well.

Overall I like very much all of them, I think it depends on your complexion if you go for the Poreless Primer or the Brightening Primer, if you have more of an oily skin with large pores I suggest you choose the Poreless one (purple) and if you want to achieve a more glowing look you should go for the brightening one (brown)
Or you can buy the kit ($9.00) and test them all :)

Clinique - Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Starter Kit


Hello !!

A couple of months ago I traded some of my Sephora Beauty Insider points to get a deluxe sample of the Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Kit, I always love to try samples before purchasing the full size product, because that way you can see exactly how the product works on you, I fell in love with Clinique products a long time ago, I will never forget the ads that had the baby chicken on it! do you remember them?

This is what I experienced:
On my deluxe sample I got a cleansing bar, but I noticed that on the actual kit it comes a cleansing foam instead.  I washed my face with the bar, then I applied the clarifying lotion and the clearing moisturizer at the end. I didn't see results the very next day but after a week I could see a difference in my skin, it was clearing up and I wasn't getting new break outs, the thing I like the most about it is that it did not dry out my skin like many acne treatments do.

The main before/after difference is that I got less break outs and my pores and scars became less visible!
