Hello! Happy Friyay! There are some new Tatcha products in town and I canโt wait to discuss them with you guys today. As you all know, Iโm in love with almost every Tatcha products, I mean, who doesnโt? I think their products are just high quality and are really made to work. Their skincare stuff are usually the ones I always seem to use and they never disappoint. Lately, I saw that they seem to be gearing towards not only making skincare products but also making something thatโs a cross between makeup and skincare. Well, how exciting is that? So check out these three new releases from them.
Luminous Dewy Skin Mask (1 x 0.68 oz: $12, 4 x 0.68 oz: $45) โ This facial mask has that slight signature Tatcha scent and is very soaked with the serum to the point that itโs almost dripping right out of the package. The mask sheet doesnโt feel too thick and not too thin. It feels cooling and refreshing once applied to the face and it gives a nice calming and relaxing sensation. A few minutes into its usage, I noticed my skin feeling soft and very hydrated. Youโre supposed to leave this mask on the face for 15 minutes, but I like to keep mine on a little bit longer until the sheet starts to feel a bit dry โ that took about a whole 30 something minutes for me. Tatcha advises to massage the remaining serum on the face after taking off the mask, which I did, and my skin really feels drenched, super moisturized and truly dewy. This is definitely a very good facial mask and one that I definitely recommend whether youโre just starting into masks or are a true die-hard face mask fan. I actually think that this mask is one of the best Iโve tried out there and it definitely ranks higher than the ones made by Sephora. Also, itโs the next best thing compared to the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask, my other favorite. The SK-II Mask has a thicker sheet and is extremely drenched with the Pitera serum. It doesnโt dry out immediately but itโs also quite more expensive than this Tatcha Dewy Skin Mask. Anyhow, whichever mask youโd choose, youโre definitely going to like any of them.
The Silk Canvas Protective Primer (0.7 oz: $52) โ I was so curious about this primer. The packaging looks really sleek and simply beautiful and I thought it would be more like a compact when you open it, but you actually have to twist it and you need to use its complimentary round spatula in order to scrape a small amount of product. Thatโs because this isnโt your typical liquid primer, this is a solid silky luxe facial primer that has a nice intense signature Tatcha scent thatโs common to most Tatcha products. I mean, this primer smells very good. Itโs like finally! a primer that smells divine, sans any silicone scent. My face literally smells so nice and I couldnโt help but notice it all the time. This primer feels silky to the touch and it also makes my face feel silky smooth once applied. Donโt worry about its creamy white color, it wonโt leave a white cast on the face. My foundations (liquids, creams, and a few powders) go on easily and not look splotchy. My pores appear blurred and it gives a natural finish whenever I use a luminous type of foundation. Also, it doesnโt make my face look dry whenever I use a mattifying one. I find that this primer does a good job at holding my foundation for several hours (6 or more ). Now, do I think I could find another primer that could do the same job? Yes sure. Do I also think this product is worth it? Yes, this is a luxurious primer that not only does an overall good job at priming the face, lips, and eyes, using this is also quite a sensorial experience. The only thing that kind of irks me about this is how you have to twist the container in order to open it, and it can be quite slippery to the touch sometimes. Also, youโre really gonna need the scraper that it came with because using the fingers alone wonโt allow you to grab enough product.
The Pearl Tinted Eye Illuminating Treatment in Softlight (0.4 oz: $48) โ In what probably could be the best packaging Iโve ever seen for an eye cream product, this Tatcha The Pearl Eye Treatment is absolutely beautiful and enchanting with its, of course, pearl-like container. This hybrid of an eye treatment and makeup-in-one is very intriguing. You can use this as a tinted eye treatment/moisturizer, or as a concealer. It feels very lightweight yet very creamy. Itโs also non-sticky and is extremely pigmented. You only need a tiny bit of product and itโs good enough to cover your whole undereye situation. LOL. I suggest that you donโt swipe this across the undereye immediately because it will look patchy, especially if your skin is kind of dry. Just try to dab it on the skin to sorta warm it up and it will blend in well. I was actually quite unsure about my shade match when I purchased this product. I thought the medium shade or the Softlight might look too dark for me because it looks quite brownish on the picture and in the packaging. Also, the light shade (Moonlight) looks too bright for me as well. So I decided on the medium shade and boy I was right. This color tends to get lighter and brighter as soon as you apply it. It illuminates the eyes and gives this kind of naturally awake look. The formula itself has Akoya Pearls, Silk Powder, and Botanical Extracts that are meant to reduce dark circles and brighten the eye area. While it remains to be proven whether pearls actually has skincare benefits, I feel like thereโs a lot to love with this Tatcha Eye Treatment. It really brightens the undereye area just like a concealer and you wonโt even need one. Although, you could perfectly layer your favorite concealer with this, but personally, I could get by just by using this eye treatment. Some mentioned that the packaging is really small for its price and yes it does look like thereโs not a lot of product in it, but actually there is because this is so pigmented that all you really need is a rice amount to get a full coverage on the undereyes. This product has been recently released, so I will keep testing this to see if this really has a brightening effect over time.
Apart from these three Tatcha new releases, theyโve also released their Deep Cleanse facial cleanser (reviewed here) which is one of the best face cleansers Iโve ever tried, both by scent and by formula. Overall, itโs another job well-done by Tatcha for these amazing products, and I highly recommend them. They feel so pampering on the skin and I love that some of their stuff are not just great as skincare, but also great as makeup.
The Tatcha Silk Primer, Luminous Dewy Mask, and The Pearl are currently available at Sephora and JCPenney,
