Angelic

Angelic is a very illuminating yet not overly shimmery highlighter.  It’s soft and let’s the face glow.  Very easy to use… just tap your brush in, and lightly dust over the tops of the cheeks or anywhere else you need brightened.

Fantastic

Fantastic is a purple based pink with satin finish.  The shade scared me a bit, but it actually worked for my tone when most shades like this do not.  It’s highly pigmented, so go easy!  Less is more!

Magic

Magic is a peachy pink that seems like it’ll be a universal shade.  This is also highly pigmented and makes the face come alive.

Stellar

Stellar is a lightly shimmery bronzer.  Not so much shimmer that you’re all.. wtf… but enough so that it makes contouring easy for even a novice.

Tarte blushes always have great pigment and are easy to blend.  This set is flatteringly universal and will be the perfect holiday gift for yourself or for any makeup lover in your circle of family and friends!

These four gorgeous blushes are in a mini size!  A normal size Tarte blush is 0.2 oz (and run $25 each) and these mini ones are 0.1 oz.  They are cute and compact… perfect to throw in your purse or holiday travel bag.  If you’ve been looking to get into Tarte blushes, this set is a great and affordable one to cut your teeth on.  Warning – they are addicting!

Purchase Tarte Fantastic Foursome 4-Piece Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush Enthusiast Set at Sephora, Ulta and tarte.com for $35.  This item is limited edition for Holiday 2012.
