Merry Christmas! The last 2 days of this countdown calendar. :)

Day 11 Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment

Day 12 Maracuja Oil

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 10

Day 10 is Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Thrilled.  This looks like another LE color as I don't see this listed on the site.  Haven't swatched it yet, but it is a pretty, shimmery mauve.  

Eeee!  Same size and design as the other blushes in the Chic to Cheek Deluxe Amazonian Clay Blush Set!

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 9

Day 9 is Maracuja Rainforest Glow in Park Avenue Princess.  Might be good for the pale legs in a dress or skirt!

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 8

Day 7 is Amazonian Clay Double Duty Face Mask.  I was slightly disappointed with this day because the size is so tiny compared to some of the others!  If this was the same size as the primer, then it would be good, but this is super small.  :(  

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 7

Day 7 is Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara.  More mascara!

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 6

Day 6 is Lights, Camera, Flashes Statement mascara.  This one is prrrrty in the gold casing.  :) I have hella mascara, not only from this calendar countdown, but in general.  Maybe I should start cocktailing them to use them.

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 5

Day 5 is MultiplEYE Prime lash enhancing primer. I'll save this one to try when I crack open a new mascara.

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 4

Day 4 is Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder.  This is a nice size to try and for travel.

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 3

Day 3 is Clean Slate Poreless primer.  Another one to add to the test rotation.  I have 2 that I have been using and am looking forward to seeing how this one will perform.  

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 2

Day 2 Brazilliance Skin Rejuvenating Maracuja Self Tanning Towelette and a $10 coupon!  I'm interested to see how this tanning towelette will perform.  I'm hoping it won't cause an orange face!

Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte - Day 1

I almost forgot about this calendar! Christmas is creeping up on us and 12 days away. Day 1 yesterday and it is LipSurgence Lip Tint in Wishful.
