TSV DISAPPOINTING

Shanus — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 10:59:47 GMT

I was looking forward to the Tarte TSV until the presentation at midnight. Sample sizes aside, Incould not see in the advance photo how much shimmer was in the shadows and one of the glosses.

Almost all of the makeup offerings at the Nordstrom sale were these same peachy/rose gold shades. Enough, so let’s move on to some greys, lavenders, anything else!!

The 2nd shipment of a/d is much better, but not ordering just to receive that one.

Oh well, money saved.

I can't say I think it looks dated. There are lots of brand new palettes coming out with these same shades in them. I don't particularly care for the shadow colors for me though.

I don't know that I find any eyeshadow shades dated. There are shades that I don't like and wouldn't look good on me but it seems anything goes now. I wear what looks good on me and that isn't always the latest trending colors which often aren't for my age or skintone.

I agree....Tarte is made in China and I only want cosmetics made in the US, possibly Canada. The host kept talking and I wanted to see the colors!

I would have bought it if the foundation didn't contain zinc oxide. That stuff always gives me a bad reaction.

I bought it. It’s very difficult to find a moisturizing full coverage foundation and I have dry skin and need this. I also liked the addition of so many neutral foundation shapes. I dislike foundations that look yellowish or pinkish. I’m hoping the zinc oxide used for spf won’t cast a whitish undertone. We’ll see. I like that there are matte shadows included and eye shadow brushes. I’m also out of mascara, so I could use the two mascaras that come with the set. I prefer small size mascaras because they go bad so fast once opened that I end up throwing half ypused full sized mascaras away. I’m hoping that if I just use a tiuvpch if these mascaras I won’t get the doll eyes look that tarte mascara can cause sometimes. What I don’t like are lip glosses. They look icky to me and I don’t like glosses on anyone over twenty. I also dipint like the fact that the foundation emphasizes lines under the eyes, but I won’t be wearing it there, so that won’t bother m too much. I also desperately need a blusher brush and I wish they would have included one. I have not bought any thing by Tarte in years because. of their use of clay (kaolin) in so many of their products. Clay dries out my very, very, dry skin. The foundation has no clay in it.

I absolutely agree! They go on and on about minutia when I am watching for more shade description of foundation!

I found the presentations lacking. I wanted to see the blushes applied. I want to see if they are very drying and what the colors look like in the face.

@Shanus I just purged my stash and gave it to my BFF's kids who were going back to school.

As I was purging (what a great feeling!) I thought...How much money did I waste on this stuff I don't use like I used to.

I think the kit looks nice, but in a month will I still feel the same or will I be back to the same minimalist routine that gets better with time?

Money saved...

@Jtdmum I may have been slightly tempted if the colors were cool for a change. I also think the models should come out w/o any makeup & be “done” with the entire TSV, not just swipe off a 1” square of rosacea. Befores & afters do not show how well the products apply. You are right.

I agree with your comments about 'dated" @Lipstickdiva .

I think that word is used too often when someone just doesn't like something.

That red lipstick is dated...

That manicure color is dated...

That scent is dated...

I may have been more interested if the foundation had been offered in more than a select few shades. Babassu Foundcealer is made in 30 shades! To narrow it down to 10 means that a lot of customers are not getting their best match. That said, if the other products in the set had been of more interest to me it would not be the first time I have purchased a TSV (which includes foundation) and passed the foundation on to someone the color was better suited for. The lipglosses appear to be super glittery.

I wasn't thrilled with the Tarte TSV either. It seems like it's always warm tone colors on the eyeshadows. I like plums, purples, pinks, the cooler tones. I also wasn't impressed with the models skin with that foundation on it. It did not look natural at all. I have tons of Tarte shadows from TSV's from years past that have a lot of the cool colors in it. Maybe the warm colors are just the trend these days.

I agree I wnet to youtube and found so many users demonstrating other colors not feautured on QVC that would have been a better match for me.

I also thought the models faces looked "shiny".

I ordered. wanted to try the concealer and my daughter in law loves tarte so it is makes more sense to try it this way. Did AD and will have plenty of treats for her for the holidays. She likes IT too, but there is never any color cosmetics in their TSV's. It is always foundation and a lip balm.

@mzrhondap Many of the shadows were shimmers and I think one of blushes/highlighters, as well.

I didn’t buy either. I didn’t like the foundation when I tried it at Sephora. Had high hopes based on the presentation but a bust for me IRL

Hi Lipstick. Long time no hear! I thought I'd log on as I haven't been on in many months-lots of stuff family wise which wasn't good.

Anyway, I didn't think it looked dated. I liked it ladies, and I bought it. Hope everyone is doing well! Win

maybe I used the wrong term, I just looked at the picture on the home page, which wasn't appealing to me, the colors in the actual presentation looked better.

I was contemplating ordering the tarte TSV, but decided not to. In the past few months, I've ordered directly from tarte and have really been disappointed. I ordered the Amazonian Clay foundation and undereye corrector and returned both of them. The foundation was really heavy on my skin and the corrector was way to dark. I've used them both in the past, but the formula seems to have changed.

I also ordered an eyeshadow pallet (and bought one from Ulta). I gave them both to my daughter. I could not believe the amount of shimmer in the shadows. I'm almost 60 and do not like that much shimmer. Their shadows used to be a really nice satin finish.

Being a glutton for punishment, I decided to try again and ordered the Face Tape foundation and maracuja creaseless concealer. Same story-foundation seems heavy and very drying and the conceler is thick and does crease. Thinking of returning those as well.

I don't know if they've completely revamped everything to appeal to a younger audience or what, but I find that most of their things are no longer wearable. It could also be that my complexion has changed the older I've gotten. But in any event, I am really hesitant to order anything tarte anymore.
