5.  Green Siren by Tarte – $30

106

A couple weeks ago, Tarte sent me a sample of their famous green siren cheek stain.  As a simple gal, I appreciate a good cheek stain–you can use it on your cheeks, eyes and lips even if you’re in a hurry–and you’ll get a pretty, healthy glow.  I am absolutely SOLD.  It’s long-wearing, doesn’t irritate my skin, and looks positively gorgeous and packs just enough of a peachy sheen without going into full-fledged rosy cheeks territory.

The tarte t5 super fruit complex™ is a proprietary blend of the five most active superfruits: goji, acai, maracuja, acerola and pomegranate. The first blend of its kind, the t5 super fruit complex™ is loaded with naturally occurring, antioxidant rich nutrients and vitamins that have been known to deliver refining, anti-aging and skin-restorative benefits with each application.

With the purchase of every tarte green siren natural cheek stain, you’ll be supporting Sambazon’s Sustainable Acai Project (SAP), a member of the Fair Trade Federation, which helps to preserve the Amazon Rainforest through conservation, improved living conditions and educational opportunities for communities in Brazil.
