I have a Tarte Obsession!

Hi Lovies!

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and my East Coasters stayed safe during Irene.

I'm glad I could introduce a few of you to Birchbox and thanks for feedback on Tone It Up. I am starting the plan mid September after Austin City Limits Music Festival. I will keep everyone posted!

The other day I went into Ulta looking for just a new Bronzer and found a makeup line I am completely obsessed with. Tarte!!

I currently use their Recreate Foundation with Wrinkle Rewind Technology, Park Avenue Princess Bronzer, Clean Slate Natural Face Primer and Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Finishing Powder.




Tarte products are formulated without parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances. I can definitely tell the difference in the quality of the makeup on my skin compared to MAC and Makeup HD that I have used in the past.
I plan on adding their mascara, blush & eye shadows into my makeup collection very soon.

Here is a picture of myself wearing the JewelMint "Astoria" Necklace I talked about in my last post.



Excuse the photo being so blurry. I need a new camera but as you can still tell the necklace is gorgeous! I get so many compliments. I highly recommend JewelMint

If you follow me on Instagram "erinscogin" you probably have already seen this next post
Another new favorite thing of mine to do is put fresh Mint & Strawberries in my water. It works best if you let your water sit in the fridge over night with the strawberries and mint to really let the flavors take.
Much better for you than the artificial flavored stuff!





Spending the rest of the day relaxing, catching up on blogs and watching for tonight. So pumped for TrueBlood, Jersey Shore and the VMAs
