Tarte Halloween Contest

If you haven't tried Tarte it's a good time to start — the ‘Trick or treat with Tarte’ contest runs until November 10th, and all you have to do is send in before and after photos along with a description of how you used Tarte products to achieve your Halloween look! The prize is a big goodie bag filled with a whopping $500 worth of Tarte.

Wait — it gets better. Right now, Tarte purchases of $50 or more qualify for free shipping, so don’t wait - it’s the perfect opportunity to try Tarte’s line of chemically safe, ‘skinvigorating’ makeup yourself!

I have to tip my hat to Tarte for being one of the best sources for green beauty products out there. The make up is fashion forward and is 100% free of parabens, petro-chemicals, phthalates, sulfates and synthetic fragrances and Tarte has a wider appreciation of what being a ‘go-green’ company means!

Tarte has over 200 products in their lineup now, each one non-toxic and nourishing to your skin. I am particularly intrigued by the inclusion of anti-aging ingredients included in many of Tarte’s products — this adds another check-mark on the plus side for this unique, innovative brand. Tarte believes in only putting wholesome ingredients like vitamins, minerals, and fruit or vegetable plant extracts on your face, and I have to agree.

Not only are Tarte’s products good for you, they are good for the environment, too! Packaging is made of recyclable or post consumer recycled material, reducing the impact on the earth even more; in fact, Founder, Maureen Kelly laughingly says, “We’re reducing green house gas emissions one mascara at a time!” Be green, be smart, be Tarte!
