Summer essentials you can feel good about from Tarte, Green Beaver and Native!

Keep your foundation from sliding off your face and look less shiny:
 
Tarte Shape Tape Setting Powder - $41 - a loose powder that absorbs oil and mattifies as it diffuses light for radiant-looking skin while blurring fine lines and imperfections and preventing flashback. The netted sifter dispenses the perfect amount of powder and eliminates mess -  and it even comes with a puff if you like that kind of thing (I prefer my brush). The formula includes Amazonian Clay - to absorb excess oil; Vitamin C - to brighten; and Mineral Pigments - to blur. It even comes in a Translucent Tan-Deep shade if you want to add some colour!
 
Like to travel with your powder? It also comes in a perfectly portable 4g mini size for $18.

Available at Sephora stores across Canada and online at sephora.ca and tartecosmetics.com.
Sun protection that's good for your skin:
 
Green Beaver Natural Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 - 90ml - $24.99 - a 100% natural mineral sunscreen that is hypoallergenic, non-greasy and hydrates and nourishes skin, like a lotion, so not only does it protect skin from the sun, it also makes it better! The best part is the non-whitening formula infused with Canadian-grown organic raspberry extract which is rich in natural antioxidants that is water and sweat resistant up to 80 minutes and reef friendly.
 
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada and online at shoppersdrugmart.ca.
Summer doesn't have to stink:
 
Native Deodorant - 75g - $18.99 - with an aluminum-free formula containing naturally derived ingredients, with effective long-lasting odour protection and some really nice scents including Lavender & Rose; coconut & Vanilla; Cucumber & Mint; Eucalyptus & Mint; and Citrus & Herbal Musk. I found the price a little scary at first but if I think of how many terrible smelling natural deodorants that I have tried (and not worked) - a bit extra for one that does is worth it!

Available at Shoppers Drug Mart stores across Canada and online at shoppersdrugmart.ca.

The last 2 products are part of an excellent new initiative: Thoughtful Choices at Shoppers Drug Mart - which is a curated range of products meant to help make it easier for you to shop consciously. All products with this seal are (at a minimum): Cruelty-free; Paraben, phthalate, SLS/SLES, formaldehyde, BPA & aluminum salts-free; and mindful of our planet. Just look for the Thoughtful Choices seal when you shop to discover all of them! 
 
BTW, I feel like if Shoppers carried Tarte, due to the brands philosophies and ingredient non-no's, it would also qualify for that program - so you can feel good about that purchase too!

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Drench Lip Splash Lipstick - with swatches!

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Drench Lip Splash Lipstick - $26 - in 12 shades:  Skinny Dip - white nude, Beach Bum - dark nude, Cabana Boy - pink, Happy - rose, Top Down - poppy coral, Bikini - pink coral, Hey Sailor - bright pink, Mai Tai - orange, Firework - red, Surfer Girl - cool fuchsia, Wet Suit - plum berry, Bonfire - blackberry - offers a long-wearing, satin-matte lipstick that saturates lips with creamy, full-coverage colour and hydration with natural, lip-loving oils and butters. 
Top Down
Wet Suit - if you like a deeper colour you can add another layer to make it more opaque but I like the berry stain look of a less heavy-handed application!

The slim design makes it easy to apply, no lipliner needed - and the lasting power is amazing, the colour fades a bit as the day goes on but even for people too lazy to reapply (me) it ends up looking like a stain, rather then half chewed off lipstick!

Available at Sephora and sephora.ca.

Celebrate Day 3 of National Sun Awareness Week with Tarte Tarteguard 30 Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion

It's National Sun Awareness Week and considering how militant I am about us all wearing our sun protection, I decided we should dedicate a post every day this week to fun sun facts and an awesome sunscreen pick - enjoy and you're welcome!

Don't like sunscreen because most sun protection products don't smell good or look pretty on your dressing table? - then check out:

Tarte Tarteguard 30 Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 - 50ml - $38 - an all-mineral, non-chemical, lightweight, non-sticky liquid lotion sunscreen that helps to protect, moisturize, brighten, and re-invigorate skin for a youthful-looking appearance. The formula is also infused with maracuja, red algae, soybean, apple, and honeysuckle extracts to nourish, tone, and retain moisture while helping to combat signs of aging for a firmer, brighter, smoother appearance. The fresh, ocean’s lily scent allows for luxurious, spa-like daily applications, while the high-performance liquid emulsion seamlessly melts into skin, leaving it supremely soft and silky.

Available at Sephora and sephora.ca.

Ever wonder how tanning even became a fashionable thing to do? Some of the blame goes to Coco Chanel. It used to be that women's clothes covered so much that a body tan was impossible, and a tan on the face and hands signified what it still does in developing nations - that the tanned person is an outdoor laborer, most likely of low social status. Lily-white skin remained a sign of a lady even after industrialization, but legend has it that when Chanel was accidentally sunburned during a trip to the Riviera and developed a tan from the burn, her new hue took hold among the fashionable as a symbol of all she herself embodied: modernism, luxury and independence. 

If you don't want to get over your love of the tanned look, don't despair - self-tanners today are so good that you can still have all the glow without any of the risk!

Easy contouring and highlighting with a stick from Clinique, Nudestix and Tarte!

You'd have to be living under a rock not to know that the big thing in beauty these days is contouring! The whole process can seems daunting, especially with some of the kits having half a dozen different contouring shades sure can make it seem complicated! So keep things simple and stick to one contouring shade and one highlighting shade and you'll be saying hello to the cheekbones you never knew you had in no time!

Don't know where to start? Just suck in your cheeks - a swipe of contouring goes in the hallow that appears underneath, a bit of highlighting goes on top of the cheeks and then just blend away! Fingers are the best tool for this, the heat from your skin will warm the cream and help it blend smoothly.

Here are a few of the latest and greatest in stick contouring and highlighting:

Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour and Sculpting Highlight - $24 - offers smooth, dewy and mistake application in stick form - contours by creating enhanced depth and definition while the highlight contains pearlized, light-reflecting pigments to add a luminous sheen that makes features appear more prominent in the prettiest of ways.

Nudestix Sculpting Pencil - $28 - in 2 shade duos: Contour - medium/Highlight - light and Contour - deep/Highlight - medium - a dual-ended, matte cream sculpting pencil that provides long-wearing, blendable coverage in shades that are ideal for highlighting and contouring features and infused with skin-conditioning and moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E. The double ended pencil makes it easy to contour and highlight in one go - accentuating your best features for a barely-there, fresh-faced look with a natural finish that evens the look of your skintone.

Available now at Sephora, sephora.ca, Space NK and Urban Outfitters.
Tarte The Sculptor Contouring Face Slenderizer - $29 - in 3 shades: Park Avenue Princess, Park Avenue Princess 2 - medium and Park Avenue Princess 3 - medium to tan - a contouring and sculpting stick with a lightweight, non-sticky colour that blends flawlessly into all skintones and highlights the face for a slimmer look and create the illusion of high, chiseled cheekbones in seconds - also great for slimming the neck, jawline, and nose.

Colour and glow with cream blush sticks from GOSH, Tarte and Clinique!

The best thing you can do for a pale, winter-weary complexion is add a bit of colour with blush, and since your skin is probably missing oil this time of year which would usually give it a bit of natural glow and sheen, go with a cream blush instead of powder, not only will it add colour but it will also add moisture to the skin to help it glow!

Mascara Monday - Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara - $24 - lengthens, curls, volumizes, and conditions all in one go. 
Offers a dramatic makeover for lashes with a high-performance formula that is proven to increase the appearance of lash volume by 330% - creating thick, sexy lashes. 
The fragrance free formula includes: rice bran wax - helps lengthen lashes; carnauba wax - an emollient wax that ensures smooth application; provitamin B5 - treats and thickens lashes; olive esters - conditions, treats and protects lashes; mineral pigments - for dramatic colour with soothing and softening properties.
I'm a big fan of Tarte products so I wanted to love this mascara but sadly I don't think it lives up to all of it's claims - I don't think the volume is anything to get excited about, it doesn't curl and it's clumpy - when I want Tarte mascara I'm going to stick with my Tarte Best In Faux!

Available at Sephora and sephora.ca.
