Tarte has launched lots of new products this year already, and the Awake By Tarte Sunshine Stick Illuminator is their latest launch from their sister brand; Awake By Tarte.
Awake By Tarte is their skincare brand, and whilst they do have skincare products under their main Tarte brand, everything is a little sleeker, and the formulas sound more impressive too.
Awake By Tarte Sunshine Stick Illuminator
“Blend of 5 antioxidant-rich fruits help instantly nourish, soothe & smooth & cooling sensation energizes skin & reduces the look of puffiness & dark circles.”
Described as being swipe on sunshine with a lit-from-within glow in a stick. It’s a solid highlighter stick which is vegan, and said to be a multi-tasking stick to instantly brighten the skin.
The Awake By Tarte Sunshine Stick Illuminator adds a natural luminosity to high points of the face, whilst also blurring discolouration, and helps to wake up tired under-eyes.
Its formula features micronized pearls to reflect light to blur imperfections, and helps to sooth and reduce the look of puffiness and dark circles, with a cooling sensation to energizes skin.
Key Ingredients
- watermelon & mango: rich in antioxidants & Vitamin A & C to help prevent signs of aging
- strawberry: anti-inflammatory & antioxidant
- pineapple: powerful enzymes help break down & sweep away dead skin cells
- coconut: helps skin’s protective barrier layer, trapping moisture for hydration
The Awake By Tarte Sunshine Stick Illuminator is a solid, light champagne highlighter with a cream formula, and it can be applied to anywhere on the face or body to add a luminous glow to the skin.
We’ve seen a few cream highlighter sticks launch recently, such as the Lime Crime Sunkissed Glimmering Illuminator Sticks, and I imagine we’ll see a lot more over the coming weeks too. If you want to check out this new stick highlighter, it’s available right here.
