Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation


I have been using this foundation for a few weeks and I am loving it. This is the first product I have used from Tarte and I am now so excited to try more.
This is the amazonian clay 12 hour foundation and I have the shade Fair Sand. This is a full coverage foundation but it still feels lovely on the skin. It is a thick cream like foundation rather than being a runny liquid and it buffs on to the skin very nicely. It has a very matte finish so if you like the dewy look I would not really recommend this. It gives the skin a very nice base to then add powder products to the face without them looking patchy or cakey which I sometimes find with bronzer if I'm not careful.
 This is a 50ml bottle which is unusual as most foundations come in 30ml. The brush actually came free with the foundation from QVC and after a bit of research I believe it to be the 'buffer airbrush finish bamboo foundation brush' costing $34. 
I can't understand how QVC can sell the foundation and brush for £32.50 when it costs $73 USD from Tarte. I am very impressed with the foundation and also the service from QVC when it comes to getting hold of products from America. The only downside is the range of shades they have available compared with the Tarte website, but QVC let you return products no problem if they are not right for you!

Are there any Tarte products you recommend I try next?
