Tarte is one of my favorite makeup brands. Why?  Well, there are lots of reasons. It's a favorite of mine because it's a natural makeup that contains ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals and plant extracts, that are actually good for your skin. It's not tested on animals, which is super important for me. It's  formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfates and is gluten free. Tarte also offers some vegan products which are marked with a V symbol on their website. My latest Tarte cosmetic item is the Maneater Eyeshadow Palette.
