Accessory designer Tarina Tarantino “The Queen of Irreverent Luxury” has delved into the beauty world with her new line of glamorous makeup and luxe packaging. Tarina is a former makeup artist so it was no surprise that she would eventually come up with a makeup line of her own. When I passed by the Sephora store on Madison Avenue and saw the huge sign in the window announcing that Tarina’s line would be sold exclusively at Sephora I walked right in to check it out. The displays inside the store were eye catching and most of the makeup had already been sold out but beauty the product junkie that I am I still wanted a little something for myself. I picked up the conditioning lip sheen in Cameo because I loved the nude shade and because you can never have enough makeup!

The packaging on the products is just gorgeous, I especially loved the high intensity eye shadows, the cases are encrusted with crystal gems, purty! I adore the names of her products:

• Sparklicity Pure (a highlighter for eyes, cheeks and lips)
• Dollskin Cheeks (High definition blush in 5 colors)
• Eye Dream Hyperliner (shimmery waterproof eyeliner)
• Sparklicity Shimmer Dust (hair/body glitter)
• Conditioning Lip Sheen Paramour (medium pigment lip color)

These are some of the items that I was able to try out at Sephora and I absolutely loved them. I’d be curious to see if anyone was able to snag a few of her products and what they thought of them. I’m a fan of Tarina’s makeup already and I will be coming back to pick up a goody of five of her new line. Perhaps I’ll  even have a little giveaway…

All items are available exclusively at Sephora.
