I'm curious about the new Tarte line of colored clay products. The 2 in 1 foundcealer debuted last night. This is supposed to be both concealer and foundation. The upcoming TSV has a concealer/corrector and foundation. I'd be interested in a comparison if someone gets both. It would seem they serve duplicate purpose. Tarte seems to come out with a new foundation every few months.

I am a bit bothered by Maureen's marketing. The first ingredient in the Foundcealer is water, the next several are silicones. Aluminum Hydroxide is #13, and this is a colorant. Clay (kaolin) is the 21st ingredient. There simply can't be enough green or red clays in this product to have any real effect. I appreciate that Tarte does not use parabens and several other chemicals, but the products are far from natural.

I love the powder foundation and the stick concealer. Ulta has a new Tarte eye palette that looks very nice. Anyone tried that?
