Tarte Holiday 2010 Collection

I couldn't wait to show you the Tarte Holiday 2010 Collection! Usually, I wait until I've tried some of the items, but I'm such a huge Tarte fan, I thought you would want to see these new beauties as soon as possible. Tarte calls the collection their Holiday 2010 Gift Guide. I always chuckle at the gift idea. It's a rare day when I can bear to part with new Tarte makeup.

Sorry about the bullet points below. I can't get them off the photo border - I'll figure it out, but not in the time I have this morning! My job beckons.

The Jewelry Box ($52) is a limited-edition palette with a reusable necklace (the jewelry is a give-away for a gal who wears only the real thing). The Jewelry Box is exclusive to Sephora. Tarte created new products and shades for this gift. The kit includes all this...

• Thirty-two full-sized, new and limited-edition eye shadows (16 shimmering and 16 matte)
• Eight new lip glosses
• Full-sized mineral powder bronzer (one of my favorites) in park ave princess
• New soft pink highlighting powder
• Five new long-wearing eyeliners

Next, there's Ring It In ($25), a trio of Tarte's best selling, t5-infused natural cheek stains, back with new, limited edition shades and fashionably adorned with a reusable ring (OK, I won't be wearing the ring; I prefer tourmalines and tanzanites). The botanical formula of these three new natural cheek stains keeps pigments true, and, as always, allows you to blend them into your skin for a finish that's fresh and dewy. The three new shades are luster (bronze champagne), vivid (vibrant pink), and flawless (golden coral). Lust! Pure greed! The only question in my mind is how many of these I'm going to purchase.

The search for the perfect gift might stop with Good as Gold ($29). With 15 universally flattering lip glosses in shades that range from sheer to deep and shimmering to soft, this deluxe set is perfect for anyone. At only $29 you'll want to stock up and avoid the stress of last-minute gift giving! This is going to be a "one for them, two for me" purchase.

The limited-edition set includes these 15 glosses.

• Bubble Gum Pink
• Nude
• Apricot
• Vivid Pink
• Brown Sugar
• Apple Red
• True Pink
• Soft Peach
• Mauve
• Warm Berry
• Coral
• Tawny Brown
• Deep Raspberry
• Whisper Pink
• Deep Plum

The Royal Collection ($43) is a limited-edition holiday palette in Tarte's signature color, stacked with 16 exclusive shades of eye shadows and deluxe sizes of their best selling products. The set is a royal treat.

• Sixteen full-sized eye shadows
• Deluxe clean slate natural face primer
• Deluxe lights, camera, lashes!
• Deluxe multipleEYE, a lash-enhancing primer
• Deluxe vitamin-infused lip gloss

Naturally, all of the products in Tarte's Holiday Collection are filled with skinvigorating ingredients. We expect nothing less from Tarte!
