Though it took about a year for Tarte Cosmetics Rainforest of the Sea collection to reach our shores, we’re #grateful that it’s finally here and we had a chance to play with some of them during the Sephora Autumn 2017 Press Preview.
With more than 20 makeup and skincare products made with Tarte Cosmetics’ new of the Sea™ complex made of a proprietary blend of algae and marine flower extracts that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while smoothing and softening your skin. Always cruelty-free and skin-friendly as it’s free from parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulphate, and gluten.
We also got to speak to Brian Granoff, Global Trainer Of Tarte Cosmetics to learn more about the range for our #QuickChatwithPamper column.
1. Can you tell us more about the Rainforest of the Sea range?
If I can summarize the collection in a few words, it’s high-performance and low maintenance because it gives a lot of benefits to your skin and it’s easy to use. The products are made with beneficial ingredients from the sea which protects your skin from environmental aggressors so even if it’s makeup, it still provides vitamins to your skin as you’re wearing them. The collection is made with a mermaid theme in mind and is mostly purple because it’s our founder, Maureen Kelly’s favourite colour.
2. The Water Foundation is one of the most popular products from the range, how do you pick the right shade for your skin?
It’s so important to match your foundation to your skin’s undertone. At Tarte Cosmetics, we have foundations that come in 4 undertones such as Beige (Pink), Neutral (Yellow and pink), Sand (True Golden Yellow), and Honey (Peachy Yellow with a hint of Olive). One way to check your skin’s undertone is to look at your veins, if your veins look blue, you’re more of a cool pink undertone, if your veins are green, then you have a yellow undertone, or if you have both green and blue veins, you have a neutral undertone.
3. What are your 3 must-have products from the Rainforest of the Sea range?
I feel like you have to try everything from this range but if I have to pick 3 it’ll be the:
1.Deep Dive Cleansing Gel, RM115
I need a cleanser that takes off my makeup and oiliness at the end of the day and this cleanser does it all while nourishing my skin.
2.Pack Your Bags 911 Undereye Rescue Patches (2 pieces X 4), RM95
I travel often so the skin around my eyes tends to dry out so it helps reduce the appearance of crow’s feet.
3.Water Foundation SPF 15, RM164
This feels like second skin and it gives an even, smooth and natural finish.
But we want to add another 5 more products that you have to try from this awesome range!
4.Rainforest Of The Sea Eyeshadow Palette Vol. II (Limited Edition), RM150
With 8 limited edition shades that come in a good mix of neutrals and shimmery shades that allows you to create multiple eye looks, we feel the Vol. II palette is a must-have out of the 3 palettes from the Rainforest of the Sea collection.
5.Aquacealer Hydrating Concealer, RM105
This lightweight, 12-hour concealing serum gives buildable, medium coverage and soothing, antioxidant benefits thanks to the Rainforest of the Sea™ complex and ingredients such as cucumber and coconut extracts.

A 4-in-1 elixir where you can use as a primer, setting spray, hydrating mist and skin refresher!

Not forgetting ingredients such as sea water, caffeine, lentil seed, marine flower and algae extracts help improve firmness and tone, while restoring your skin’s natural moisture balance.
7.Frxxxtion Stick Exfoliating Cleanser, RM100
