Best Bronzer: Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder.

If you are looking for a loose powder bronzer to use all over skin, look no further than Tarte's Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finish Powder ($28.00) in Bronze.

This loose powder bronzer glides on evenly and imparts a healthy, natural warmth to my skin as I brush it on. As it bronzes, my pores, lines and wrinkles seem to almost disappear as skin appears airbrushed.

The secret to this powder may just be the intuitive and skin smart Amazonian clay, though. As it is nature's most perfect ingredient, it acts as a total skin balancer by reducing dryness and flakiness, improving clarity and texture, and removing surface oil to mattify skin for a soft and flawless lit-from-within finish; all while replenishing and rehydrating skin. And making it looked beautiful and bronzed to boot.

Beautiful Eyes Begin with Clarisonic and Tarte.

Big things happen when two powerhouse beauties team up together, and this collaboration promises to be big. Seeing how I am an lover of both brands and use both of their products regularly, I think this idea is genius.

It starts with beautiful smooth, wrinkle free eyes courtesy of the Clarisonic Opal.  Using more than 7,500 micro-massages, the Opal gently infuses Anti-Aging Sea Serum beneath the skin’s surface, instantly hydrating, smoothing and brightening the eye area in just one minute.  Your beautiful eyes are finished with beautiful eye popping makeup from Tarte Cosmetics. The eye makeup is healthy and nourishing so the benefits continue. Perfection!

Check out exactly what this set includes:

  • Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infuser
  • Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara (0.24 oz.)
  • Tarte EmphasEYES Aqua-Gel Eyeliner (0.003 oz)
  • Tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer with Firmitol (0.08 oz.)
  • Two Replacement Opal Applicator Tips
  • Universal Voltage Charger for Opal
