Tarte Clean Slate Flawless 12-Hour Brightening Primer

I have a love hate relationship with Ulta. 

I wanted to get Tarte Clean Slate Poreless Primer 12 hour Primer. I have oily skin, so I thought that would be a perfect for me. But Ulta placed the Tarte 12 hour Brightening Primer in both of the slots. When I got home, I found out I got the wrong one, and instead of returning it, I decided to try it. 

I must say, it's not bad! 

It comes in a really cute packaged tube. It has a bamboo top with flowery print. It is very Tarte-esque design.  

It feels very moisturizing. Not at all heavy. It is very light almost watery. It makes my skin feel hydrated. This would feel amazing during the summer time. 

When its blended out you can see why it's brightening primer. It has multidimensional pink coloring making your skin glow. It has no shimmer. 

The best part of this is it actually lasts. Because of my skin, I don't have high hopes for non-silicone primers. I find they don't last as long as silicone primers do. This primer lasts an extra 2-3 hours longer on my skin than with just foundation on my skin.   

I like it a lot. This is the only primer I own right now and I'm not thinking about buying another one. 

Maybe I'll get the Poreless Primer to compare. 

What do you think? 

Ulta/Target Haul

I seriously need to stop buying stuff. 

Project Pan, anyone? 

maybe, a no buy month? 

Tarte Clean Slate Flawless Primer, Vichy Proeven Mineral BB Cream, No. 7 Lip Pencil in Nude, Stila Convertible Color in Camelia

The Target and Ulta near me is basically next to each other. 

I only got one thing. Lisa Eldridge's beloved No.7 Nude Lip Pencil. She uses the lip pencil in every other video. I had to get it. It's been out of stock for MONTHS. I finally saw it today, and there was only 2 left. I wanted to get BOTH, but thankfully, I controlled myself.

Ulta is having a crazy GWP (gift with purchase) !! 

I was so excited that I bought more than I wanted AND I bought the wrong color.

I am such a nut. 

I wanted Stila convertible color in Peony instead I got Camelia. 

I was going to keep the Camelia, if it got good reviews. It did, but all the reviewers who loved it had darker skin tones (NC 30-42) compared to mine (NC 20-25). I really want to try it before I return it, but Ulta near me has HORRIBLE service. The assistant manager basically chastised me for returning a used product. 

Maybe I should try it and return it when I move back to home (Los Angeles)? What do you think? 

I also got Tarte Clean Slate Flawless Primer. I ran out of my primer. Since summer is coming up, I might as well take advantage of this GWP. This week, if you purchase any Tarte product, you get a free sample of Camera, Lights and Lashes mascara and their eyeshadow primer. 

Vichy Proeven Mineral BB cream = the grayest bb cream ever. I like the consistency though. We'll See what happens.. 

Have you tried any of these products? Are any of them good?
