Review 1 for Shining Stars Limited-Edition Best Sellers Collection
Great sampling
-01.08.13
I'm fairly new to Tarte, and I think this is a good sampler. I was very surprised at how smooth the lip crayon went on. I've tried other brands and really like this one. It goes on smooth, with good pigmentation, and gives a smooth appearance. I also really like the mascara. Everything has good pigmentation and goes on very smooth without pulling skin

Great collection of Tarte products
-01.01.13
Love these mini collections---it takes me forever to completely use the full size lipsticks & blushes, so these minis are perfect. Great colors & stays quite well. Highly recommend.

Good buy
-12.25.12
Quick Take: good buy
I LOVE the liner and mascara! The LipSurgence is pretty awesome also! I didn't much care for the Cheek Stain, but I gave it to my sister and she loves it. I just didn't care for the texture of it. The color is really pretty though.

mini must haves!
-12.12.12
I originally bought this set mainly because of the eyeliner. the eyeliner lasts all day and its easy to apply. but after trying out all the other products, I immediately fell in love. the lip surgence is so moisturizing and the color is phenomenal. I am a big mascara person and this mascara is amazing! because it's a deluxe sample size and it's not waterproof, I use it as a base instead underneath my fresh supernova mascara, and my lashes end up looking so amazing! the cheek tint took some time to get used to but it looks like a natural flush! definitely recommend this product!

Amazing Value
-11.02.12
Quick Take: travel friendly, budget friendly, natural, vegan, made in america
I initially purchased this for the cheek stain and lip tint. The mascara and eyeliner are amazing as well. The lip tint is very fragile, you have to be really careful when you open it. I have 10 other lip tints and when I got my first one, I learned the hard way how fragile they are. You can't just rip the top off, you have to turn it clockwise and be slow so you don't damage the product. I had never tried a tarte cheek stain, and I felt this was the budget friendly way of trying them out. The color is not as intense as the packaging, though I wish it was. It's sheer and very build-able. I expected for it to have a minty smell, but its more of a lemony scent, which is unoffensive. I heard that you could also use the cheek stain on your lips, so I tried it out, it was a nice color on my already pink lips, but the taste is HORRIBLE. I would not recommend putting the cheek stain on your lips. Overall, this is a great deal. Although, on Tate's website, they have this exact same set with a full sized lip tint. But I wanted my beauty insider points ;p

Worth every penny
-10.18.12
I love every product that was in this collection. Specially the EmphasEYES amazonian clay eye liner. I have the most annoying oily lids and no matter how waterproof the eyeliner is I ended up looking like a panda! but not with this product. The blush is amazing! it looks so natural. The mascara was good, the only thing is half the day it flakes up and irritates my eye... Lip stain is nice but I wish they offered a different color to this set.. But all in all it was a great buy...

Made Me a Tarte Convert!
-09.15.12
There isn't one product in this collection that I don't absolutely love. It's an amazing deal (full size gel eyeliner?!?) and all the colors are neutral enough that they'd work for anyone. My absolute favorite is the mascara-- seriously, this is my holy grail mascara! It lengthens, curls, and separates without flaking, smudging, or smearing, and it's easy to take off. You can't go wrong with this collection, ladies... Snag it!

Quick Take: awesome, good quality, buildable
I am so glad that I purchased this set from Tarte. I had been wanting to try out the lip surgence and the eyeliner and when I saw this kit I knew it would be perfet for me.
The eyeliner- I LOVE it. I normally use the Urban Decay 24/7 Liners but when I want my liner to last I use this. I took an old eyeliner pencil and just dab it into the jar and line my waterline. Definitely a great product.
Lip stain- I really like the smell of the it. The color is a little dark for me but if I apply a thin layer I can pull it off.
Cheek stain- I normally dont wear bnlush or stains but this one is nice. you can build the color up if you want to. Very pretty.
Mascara- I am a mascara fanatic. I have so many different mascaras it is just crazy. I really like the wand on this one though. It is just the right size that i can actually use on my bottom lashes without it getting on my skin.
All in all I definitely reccomend this little kit. It is totally worth the money, seeing as you get a fullsized eyeliner that retails for $22. That's like you are only paying a dollar for each for the lip stain, cheek stain and the mascara.

3 Out Of 4 Isn't Too Bad
-08.28.12
Quick Take: great to try
The Mascara - Works well, but I'll be honest, I can't really tell the difference between most mascaras. It does the job I likem seperates and makes my long lashes super long.
The EmphasEYES - Fun liner! It took me awhile to get that nice flick of the wrist, but this is a great liner. Smears a bit and I'm terrible about rubbing my eyes but the product was overall very nice.
Cheek Stain - My favorite product in the collection! So wonderful and gives me that perfect flushed look. My skin becomes fairly light in the winter and a bit darker in the summer and this color transitions so well all year long.
LipSurgene - Well, it broke the moment I opened it. The color is fine, doesn't seem to look great on my lips. I do like the way it feels so I am open to trying another color.

amazing

The blush is perfect, it looks deep purple but goes on a shimmery light pink. The lip tint is perfect shade just adds a pinch of color. The mascara is good and so is the eyeliner. Great deal for the price!

So-So
-08.23.12
Quick Take: not worth the price
First shipment was missing an item, second shipment had ll items but was not impressed by the cheek stain - it was more than a cream blush, not a true stain. Tried the lipstain which had a nice minty scent and taste - but the color was not flattering on me. Other products I did not try as I was unhappy enough with the two that I tried that it would not have been cost effective to me to keep the lot, even if every one of the remaining products were wonderful.

Great set
-08.21.12
This is an amazing set for people on the go, or a goto in your purse. The cheek stain is a great sample size and the full size eyeliner is an added bonus. Mascara you can never go wrong with , the lip gloss is also great... Only bad thing about it is it melts fast in the Florida summer the tip came right off.!!! Oopsies

good value, pretty colors!
-08.18.12
I bought this when I had been using the cheek stain in Blushing Bride, which I love, and I was trying to decide if I wanted to try another color of that product, or try Tarte's lip stain, so I got this to do both! I enjoy both of them, but the surprise for me was the mascara, I ended up using the sample completely up and now I'm back for the big one! Can't speak to the eyeliner, I'm not coordinated enough to use it very well.

Nice set
-08.08.12
I have to admit I only bought this for the mini-sized cheek stain and lip stain, which are awesome and great for travel. The liner pot is not bad, gives a nice smoky look when well-blended, unfortunately I do not like black liner. The mascara is awful. I honestly don't know why they keep passing it off on customers, they should just stop making it.

Great Steal!
-07.28.12
Quick Take: great options, beautiful colors, awesome quality, long lasting, bang for your buck
This is a fave purchase! You get awesome and amazing products for a great value! Everything is deluxe sample sized, with the exception of the gel liner being full sized! No brush, but I have my own, so no biggie. The mascara is a HG item of mine and I love, love, LOVE it! The lipsurgence is a super cute tint and can be sheered out easily. The cheek tint was my least favorite item, but still easy to use and buildable in color. Tarte did it again! Fabulous.

pretty, cute, awesome
-07.27.12
I loved everything except the blush. I wanted to like it, but the blush is sticky and the color doesn't really show up on my skin color.... I have to think of another use for it. BUT everything else is AMAZING, I love the matte black gel liner (the full size itself is 22$ plus the brush) and the mascara there's no clumping. :) I fell in love with the rose natural tint lip stick. Overall everything is a good buy

Quick Take: versatile, great deal, nice starter kit
this is a great way to get a taste of tarte or products if you haven't tried it yet... which i couldn't recommend enough!!!
nonetheless its just a great deal because your basically getting all that other stuff along with the eyeliner (regularly retailed at like twenty something anyways).
