Celebutante – Tarte’s unsung hero

It’s easy to go for the major players in any cosmetics line, but I always like to dig a little deeper.  I want to find the hidden jewels, the unsung heroes of each line.  I think that Celebutante ($34) is the unsung hero in Tarte Cosmetic’s line.

Tarte is well-known for its blushes, eyeshadows, and lip products, but it’s moisturizing dry oil spray?  I had no idea they even carried such a thing.  I don’t really think of Tarte as a body oriented line.  But Celebutante is not to be missed if you are into body shimmer, it’s really fabulous.

I think it’s safe to assume that a ‘Celebutante’ is a cross between a ‘celebrity’ and a ‘debutante’.  What that means kind of escapes me, except perhaps that this product makes your skin look as perfect and glowy as those on the red carpet, à la J. Lo.  This is a dry oil moisturizing spray with a champagne tint and tiny shimmer.  It is actually quite subtle in the world of body shimmer, which doesn’t really show up unless you look very close.  Instead, the shimmer gives that diffused look that makes your skin look perfect.  Moisturizing ingredients include apricot oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E. 

Here is a full-on spray on the top of my hand.  Normally what I do is shake the bottle (the oil separates from the mineral pigments) then spray from about ten inches away.  I will use my hands to even it out if I end up getting too much in one area.  It is nicely moisturizing, and the shimmer is fabulous, but I haven’t even mentioned the best part yet – it smells AMAZING.  It smells of real, fresh, yummy delicious coconut.  I put this on and get comments all day long.  And I can’t quit smelling myself because it smells so freaking good!!!  If you love coconut, this is an absolute must-have.

So dig a little deeper into the Tarte Cosmetics line and become a Celebutante.  You won’t be sorry!!  – Lisa
