5.  Green Siren by Tarte – $30

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.
