As soon as I saw the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Skincare product launch, I fell in love with the packaging. It’s gorgeous and perfect for getting us into that Spring/Summer mood. Am I right?!?! Beautiful packaging isn’t enough to make me fall in love with a product, I still need to have ingredients that prove beneficial to my skin. I need to see improvements on my face as I’m using them. You’re in luck guys because Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea Skincare line is very, very impressive!
Included in this collection of products is the Rainforest of the Sea™ Antioxidant Complex which features Marine Algae and Flower Extracts. The Antioxidant Complex is included in the product line to help protect our skin, nourish our skin and help refresh dry, dehydrated skin types. I’ve seen other brands feature Marine Antioxidants (Algae, etc) in their ingredients, but the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Collection is at a much better price point for my budget.
I was sent three products from Tarte to try. A Hypo-Allergenic Cleanser, A Hydrating Mist and a Gel Moisturizer. I have been trying these for at least three weeks and I’ve got some comments on each of the products below. Overall, I think that these are a nice set of products that work great when used with one another!
Deep Dive Cleansing Gel $25.00
I don’t often use a cleansing gel anymore. Most of the time they tend to dry out my skin too much. However, this cleansing gel actually works on my sensitive, combination skin perfectly! The scent is so nice (lavender oil) and the addition of Vitamin C is nice for a brightening boost to the complexion! This cleanser claims to remove makeup, even waterproof, but I don’t know if I’d agree with that 100%. It is true that this will remove your makeup really nicely, but if you’re wearing a lot of makeup or a lot of waterproof makeup, I’d still do a double cleanse with a Micellear Water or a Cleansing Balm. That’s just my opinion! Overall though, a very nice cleanser for a lot of skin types!
Drink of H20 Hydrating Boost $39.00
With the addition of Hyaluronic Acid and Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea™ Antioxidant Complex, this water-gel moisturizer really packs a powerful punch! It features the Marine Complex of Algae and Marine Flower Extracts, Caffeine which helps to plump up the skin and get the blood flowing, Lentil Seed which helps to reduce the appearance of pores and also Coconut Oil which is always a nice treat to the skin! This moisturizer is indeed very lightweight, but it is really moisturizing and soothing on the skin. The one thing I really like about the Hydrating Boost is that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy and it sinks into the skin quickly. I love to use this on my face before applying makeup as it helps to make sure my skin is hydrated before putting on makeup that can sometimes look heavy and caked on my face. Sure it’s lightweight, but don’t let the texture fool you into thinking it won’t hydrate your skin!
Marine Boosting 4-in-1 Mist $25.00
I would definitely buy this for the packaging alone. Those are some gorgeous products!
They are so gorgeous! Tarte really perfected the packaging for this launch!
The packaging of these is just gorgeous! I don’t mind gel cleansers as long as they are sulphate-free and don’t lather up too much. They’re good second-cleansers on heavy makeup days.
It’s the perfect second cleanser for heavy makeup days! it’s not too foamy and feels very rich and smooth on the skin!
I didn’t realize this line had a skincare component. Yes, the packaging is gorgeous. And in spite of having dry, somewhat sensitive skin, I’m a fan of gel cleansers and moisturizers – I’d like ’em both!
They do and they have some others as well! Pretty good!
I love the look of the products, and the ones you tried sound good. I’m anxious to hear how their foundation is…I’m in need of a new one!
I’ve heard great things about the foundation and the concealer in this line!
The Setting Spray sounds amazing and perfectly for travel. I’ll have to sample it during my next Sephora visit.
It’s so good!
The packaging is so cute! I’ll have to look at some of these next time I’m at sephora. Not in the market for anything right now!
I’d at least check out the Hydrating Mist!! It’s my favorite!
The packaging is just so pretty and very Tarte! I really like the sound of the cleansing gel and the mist!!
They are both great products! The mist is probably my favorite out the group!
The packaging is very eye catching! A good design for them. Don’t think I’ve ever tried any of their products before. Gel cleanser sounds good, but I agree, they need an eye cream!
They have an eye cream in their Maracuja line (it’s pretty good) BUT I was hoping they’d include one in this as well!
The packaging is giving me life 🙂 I am loving the h20 moisturizer myself!
Such beautiful packaging. Wow!
The packaging on these is adorable! I’ve only ever used their Maracuja Oil from the skincare line. I’m not really a fan of lavender in my skincare, but other than that these products sound great!
I’d love to try these!
Thank you so much for your review! These seem like great products and you’re right, they are gorgeous! I would love to try them out.
