tarte 30 Seconds to Stunning 5-Pc Set and Bag QVC TSV 3/15/2022

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have the upcoming information on the QVC TSV for March 15, 2022 and it is the highly anticipated Tarte 30 Seconds to Stunning 5-Pc Set and Bag. Item number A47458 the price is $49.00 and will ship for free. What is included you ask?  

  • 0.05-oz tartelette Shadow Liner in Eye Catching, an amethyst shade
  • 0.05-oz tartelette Shadow Liner in Fearless, a golden bronze shade
  • 0.24-oz Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara in Black
  • 0.07-oz Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme in Peachy Pink
  • 0.07-oz Maracuja Juicy Lip Creme in Mauve
  • Bag
  • 'image.png' failed to upload.


I am honestly not to sure about this set. I was hoping for something different. I guess because I am in the market for a new foundation since I am running low on a new favorite, my Ilia Beauty foundation is only half full and I am shopping this coming weekend at my local Ulta Beauty and Sephora for a new foundation since I love to try new things and if all else fails I will order Ilia, bareminerals or Bobbi Brown again. Stay tuned toward the end of March early April to find out if I got a new foundation. But back to my thoughts on this TSV from Tarte I am already a fan of a different shadow stick which is It cosmetics and Tarte is only including two shades I like three to make a real look. The mascara from Tarte is my least favorite and I am a fan of the lip product I own three however I cannot justify spending $49 just to get some new lippy products. This is not a real complete TSV for me I really wish QVC would have partnered with Tarte and gave us a foundation or even concealer.  I don't see myself as of today purchasing this TSV but I will see what March 15 brings. As far as my foundation I will do some research online this week see what is new out there and hopefully make a purchase no later then the end of this coming weekend. My one must for this foundation is it needs to have some SPF in it since my Ilia and Bobbi Brown does not but bareminerals does.

Ilia True Skin Primer, Foundation & Concealer

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have a triple review for you today! As promised a little while back I was on a search for the perfect new foundation. I did say I wanted a primer and concealer from the same brand since I have found that matching the brand works best for me for a while now. I searched for a while researching and trying to make the best choice for my skin type, I also wanted something on the clean beauty side, and I have found the Ilia True Skin Radiant Priming Serum, Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation and Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer. The price at Sephora and the Ilia website is for the Primer $54.00, the Foundation $52.00 and the Concealer is $30.00. 

These three amazing products from Ilia are a beauty bag must! Due note that the Foundation drops on February 8, 2022 at Sephora.com 


The Ilia True Radiant Priming Serum is great. It applies like a serum and dries in a minute. My skin feels soft and matte ready for makeup. This is a must have because it is a skincare primer which is rare in the makeup world. I struggle to find a good primer that doesn't break me out and this one is the winner! I did notice however an off smell to this one it can be a deal breaker on some days, I won't use it.

The Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer is amazing. It feels light on the skin yet gives you full coverage. I hide my dark circles easily, some blemishes as well. In fact, I felt when I removed my makeup after a few days of use it helped to heal my blemishes. It was a medium coverage and never ever felt heavy. I paired it with the Ilia primer and their foundation as well, so my combination skin never felt overly dry just a nice matte finish. That being said I will repurchase before I run out. I will try another shade because with concealers I like to have a few different shades on hand for when I am sunless tanning.

The Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation has great coverage. It feels light on the skin yet gives you full coverage. I hide my blemishes and even out my skin. In fact, it truly felt like nothing on my face, and I never had mid-day shine in my T-Zone. I paired it with the Ilia primer and their concealer as well, so my combination skin never felt overly dry just a nice matte finish. That being said I will repurchase before I run out. 

An additional note: I am a big fan of this brand since trying their mascara in fact it is my must have go to and I was thrilled to fall head over heals for this trio of products!

Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have been testing out a brand new mascara from Ilia for well over a month now. I had to keep it top secret since it is brand new to the Ilia line and they sent it to me via Pinchme in exchange for my honest review and you can sign up for pinchme as well. If you sign up and fill out surveys from time to time they may match you with your very own beauty product. I have been testing out another mascara earlier this summer from PUR that review is here. I did enjoy the PUR mascara however that was not until I tried the Ilia Fullest Voluminzg Mascara did I understand what clean mascara can be. These past few months I have been on a search for the best mascaras and I now have found one that is a clean brand and it actually performs so well even in heat and humidity (where as PUR did not perform well when the humidity came into play). Below I will leave you back round information on the Illia Fullest Volmuzing Mascara as well as the review I had left for Pinchme. Remember this is going to debut on Sephora's website on August 4, 2021 and costs $28.00.

 Illia Fullest Volumizing Mascara is my absolute favorite mascara! 


Information from Ilia:  Illia Fullest Volumizing Mascara wraps each lash in fullness, thickness, and volume with a smudge-free, flake-free formula that washes off easily at the end of the day. Built-in haircare actives help to nourish and fortify lashes with each swipe.

What it is: A clean volumizing mascara that wraps each lash in weightless, buildable volume without flaking, smudging, or irritating even the most sensitive eyes.     

What it does: The violin-shaped brush thickens and defines lashes from root to tip with fluffy, flexible fullness you can’t miss. Active levels of haircare ingredients promote stronger, healthier-looking lashes with every coat. Smudge-free, flake-free, and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.             

Key Ingredients:

- Arginine: Supports stronger, healthier-looking lashes

- Provitamin B5: Nourishes to promote thicker-looking lashes

- Weightless Wax Blend: Adds full, flexible body without the weight

My review that I left for Pinchme, Sephora and Illia's websites:

The Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara is perfection. I have been using this for well over a month since the day it arrived and I have never looked back. I had been on mission to find the perfect mascara after struggling with the one that I thought was good but now with Illia Fullest Volume I think my search for a good clean mascara has come to an end. This one glides on perfectly grabbing every lash and bumping up the volume to a twelve and I am beyond impressed. It never flaked, smudged or smeared like other clean beauty mascaras. It lasted all day and I mean a 16 hour day without any issues and never irritated my eyes. The applicator brush found every tiny lash and made it count. everyone needs this mascara is their makeup routine because it is good for your lashes. I never lost one while wearing it or when removing it after a long day in fact my lashes are healthier a month later then when they started. Also it never smudged like other clean mascaras in heat and humidity. I have tossed my previous clean mascara to the side and I am going to repurchase two of these to always have one and an back up!
