This summer, there is a new trend, that really isn't so new -- things are going back to basics and neutral for makeup. You have noticed it, I am sure. Tarte is embracing this trend and going back to basics with their Beauty in the Basics 6-Piece Essentials Set. I was lucky enough to get an early look at this beautiful set and it's available today only as a QVC Today's Special Value - Woo! This is one set you don't want to miss.

Tarte Beauty in the Basics 6-Pc Set

Tarte's Beauty in the Basics 6-Piece Essentials Set contains all full sized products that will give your face a long-lasting, beautiful natural makeup look to get you through these gorgeous days of spring and summer. I'm obsessed with it - especially the eye quad. I don't think I've ever seen a quad (in recent memory) like this from Tarte before. Look!

Tarte Beauty in the Basics 6-Pc Set

The complete Beauty in the Basics set includes:

Colored Clay Eyeshadow Palette

Classic Cream
Simple Slate
Tantalizing Tan
Breathtaking Brown

These shadows are moisture-rich and super smooth. They are seriously creamy soft and apply with ease. You can layer them and wear them all together or just wear a shade or two for a simple, classic eye. You can even apply them with your fingertip - they are that creamy soft.

Amazonian Clay Tightlining Eyeliner

This precision liner is in a black brown shade that coordinates beautifully with the shades in the quad. It is a super slim liner that glides on smoothe and can be worn along the lashline or inner rim.

Light, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

The brands best, this comes in full size and adds a ton of length and increases lash volume by 330%.

Amazonian Clay Smoothing Balm

This is a smoothing beauty balm in compact form that offers a barely there feel (super lightweight) with medium coverage. It features flex form technology so it moves with the skin and looks totally natural, and hyaluronic acid to blur over fine lines, wrinkles and pores. It comes in six shades from fair to deep to suit a range of skin tones.

It looks so natural on my skin and airbrushed when applied with the Bamboo Bam Brush (below). I was amazed at how the balm never settled into my pores or fines lines and wrinkles and lasted on me most of the day. I did use a bit of powder over on my cheeks where I need a bit more coverage. For an everyday look, it is perfect, but the powder gave me a finished makeup look.

Bamboo Balm Brush

This custom brush was designed to apply the Smoothing Balm (above). It is very dense and slightly domed and makes applications effortless. It leaves skin looking flawless.

LipSurgence Lip Creme

This full coverage and very long-lasting lip color hydrates lips as it covers. The shade is a beautiful soft honeysuckle pink that adds enough of a pop of color while still being natural.
