I have dabbled in Tarte cosmetics all year so I ordered the 'Glow Beyond' collection:
I especially wanted to try the bronzer Park Ave Princess.  It looks matte in the compact but there is a little shimmer in it.  I think it is too dark for me but I do think I could lighten it up with setting powder.  I have not tried the mascara yet and may not, as I only use waterproof.
These shoes are so cute for sort of dressed-up casual; I only wear these indoors, a fancy version of "house" shoes:

No heels!!!!  I normally buy my pants in petite size so there is no hemming needed.
And of course, the fashionable 5 yr old in her Christmas finery....
I plan to resume designing hair accessories for little fashionistas after the new year and you can go here: http://thesweetpinkshop.blogspot.com  to see some of my former designs.  Now that brain surgery is no longer my hobby I can begin creating again, especially now that the Princess is very interested in anything pink & frilly!  They say she gets it honest, and I have nooooo idea what they mean??!!!!!!!!!

    My experience with Tarte is so far limited to the Be MATTEnificent palette, which I really like. The princess is adorable! Love her festive outfit!

    Your grand daughter looks so pretty in her Christmas Dress and pretty bow in her hair! I have never tried Tarte cosmetics, but they look like they would be very good. I am looking for products that leave a little glow, but not any glittery shimmer. In the stores I am always holding products up and moving them around to determine if they have any shimmer in them. It is so hard to tell and I don't know what the ingredient is that makes the shimmer, though I believe it may be mica. Something in most of the shimmery makeup seems to make my eyes itch and is not very attractive on my skin.

    Happy 2015!
