Removes makeup like magic and gives a great cleanse without any irritation. Fairly creamy (although still slightly more soapy than creamy when compared alongside department store or boutique brands) and provides a soft, gentle lather to leave you with squeaky clean, smooth skin. Wonderful for use with a Clarisonic. Excellent value for a very effective product! Results are actually comparable to premium brands like Clarins! -

Can't get over what great value this serum is! I've paid up to $80 for other serums in the past and they are NOWHERE near as natural and effective as this one. I absolutely love the smell and use a nickel sized drop to go over my entire face in the evenings. I wake up with baby soft, smooth skin every morning and love the way it adds to the ease of my makeup application. At just under $25 this is a steal and must have for the natural beauty enthusiast. The evening primrose, geranium, and roman chamomile combination is to die for, like aromatherapy for your face! -
Saje TINGLE LIPS TINGLY LIP BALM
Love how hydrating this lip balm is and that it is a 100% natural product. Beautiful smell (peppermint and coconut, yum!) and incredibly effective. The price is a bit steep however, which is the only reason my review is not a perfect score... +
Love how hydrating this lip balm is and that it is a 100% natural product. Beautiful smell (peppermint and coconut, yum!) and incredibly effective. The price is a bit steep however, which is the only reason my review is not a perfect score. Absolutely love this lip balm and the result of the Saje skincare line though! -

Soothing, creamy texture, with a light chamomile scent. I love how natural Saje products are and was super excited when I learned they had come out with a skin care line! This is magic! I love to use this product before bed and after a hot shower in the morning. My skin feels baby soft and is ready to go even without the added use of a primer. My sensitive skin normally has a slight blemished phase when transitioning to a new product but I did not experience that with this one. I love how little of this lotion is required to moisturize and sooth my delicate skin. Love this amazing product! -

This is a great product used as a tightener and brightener! I personally use this to prime skin before makeup application and find that foundation glides on effortlessly allowing you to use less of it while flawlessly blending in with your skin tone. This gives the illusion of nearly perfect skin even on my most troublesome days. I also personally have dry skin and have never experienced any flakiness the way I have with some other primers (almost as if they dry in the form a barrier). Additionally, I've had great success using this on client's with oily and mature skin. Highly recommend this for all skin types! -

A bit too pricey and unnecessary to use every day but I love this lip plumper for special occasions. It really works! There is definitely a tingling effect moments after application and I would stress that you should be careful to not get it anywhere but your lips as it will cause redness. It leaves your lip a beautiful sheen, glossy pink tone which looks great on any complexion. I personally use mine prior to my lipstick application though. It really makes the colour pop! -

I use the Fair colour and am very satisfied with the amount of coverage this pressed powder gives. I do find myself having different standards for natural versus professional products but tarte has made looking for compromise a thing of the past. I love how lightweight this powder is and the flawless finish it gives. My daily look is that of no makeup (besides the occasional eyeliner!), so I find it very important to choose products that blend perfectly with skin tone in addition to having little to no visibility. This is easily achieved using Smooth Operator! -
Too Faced Cocoa Contour Chiseled to Perfection

I've been using this contour kit in light to medium and am fairly happy with it. I've never been one for bronzing or sparkles though, so you can imagine how untouched one side of this palette is in my home. The contour and highlighter are great for my complexion but the colour does tend to fade part way through the day; the colours are on the verge of super natural though, making this great for no-makeup looks. On the plus side, the powders are super to easy to blend with your pressed powder and buildable, making it a great starter kit. Although not my motive for purchasing it, the chocolate smell is very nice! Also not generally a fan of in product mirrors or tools, but the mirror gets quite dirty very quickly and it is impossible to clean it. The included brush isn't bad though but I would use it more for tidying/blending as I prefer a brush with firmer bristles for my contour/highlight. -

Excellent brush set! Very soft bristles that are perfect for blending work. The powder brush is the best I have ever owned and worked with! While the price may seem steep compared to other premade brush kits, its actually fairly reasonable at around $16 each for professional grade brushes. I spent way too much money on beauty tools and alongside other comparably good brushes, this is a steal! I personally use the liner brush for lip colour and love the way the eye brushes are actually enough to do great detail work from brow bone to fine contouring. While my makeup bag is way too large to fit in the adorable bag its sold with, this makes for a cute stationary kit. One of my favourite birthday gifts ever!! -

Though a bit on the more expensive side, these are the best disposable wands I have used in my pro career! Perfect sized brush is suitable for most mascara formulae. Also, not too thick to prevent you from getting into inner eye corners for more detailed application and not too thin to take away from volumizing! Have used these to apply brow gel (for a tint effect) as well and love the fact that they hold product so well. On a personal level, if you are looking to pump up the volume of your current mascara or find that your lash brush (spooly) gets too filled with product (despite cleaning efforts) to be saved after years of use (I've personally gone through at least four of them now), this is definitely a disposable worth while. -
