Awesome set from Sephora. It includes 3 of Tarte's Rainforest of the Sea (deep cleansing gel, 4 in 1 setting mist, and h20 hydrating boost moisterizer), plus an Amazonian clay blush, a trial sized lights camera lashes mascara and the BB Tinted Treatment Primer.
Overall, I was impressed with everything. The cleansing gel did a great job gently getting off any leftover makeup. It made my skin feel clean and smooth without over-drying. The setting mist smoothed out my makeup for a super natural finish and definitely helped to keep it in place. I ordered a full sized version almost immediately after I ran out. The moisturizer is like a lot of other gel moisturizers I've tried, but it smells very fresh (a green smell.. sort of like the sea, I guess). It felt like it was moisturizing my face without making it greasy like a lot of things do. My makeup went over top of it well. I'm not so crazy about the amazonian clay blush- but I think that's only because its a little bit dark for my skin tone. I have another shade of this blush and I like it a lot. The mascara is great for more natural looking lashes- separates and lengthens without going clumpy. The BB cream made a very good first impression- a great light coverage foundation or primer. I ended up buying a lighter colour of this to try again and I find that as a primer, it breaks up through the day, but using it as a BB cream or foundation it works well.

I liked this foundation when I started using it- but it was the first higher end foundation I had tried so my expectations weren't high, plus I really wanted to like it because it was Rihanna's product. I was initially told by a Sephora employee that I was shade 150. I'm usually the lightest shade of foundation so this didn't quite seem right. I used it for a while, but eventually got a bottle of 120 which is the next lightest neutral shade. It could still be lighter and can look a little orange on me.
After using this for a few months, I realized I had gotten extremely self conscious about hot my face looked. The foundation was very cakey. It didn't cover redness. It clings to all of the imperfections on my face- acne, dryness and every single peach fuzz hair that exists on my face.

Pretty good shade range. Super full coverage for under eyes and spot concealing. Stays all day. Seems to go pretty far and has a really good applicator. Blends really well
Only downside I have is that it makes my eyes sting and then water. I've had to switch to a different under eye concealer, but I'm still using it for spot concealing and it works great.

Have been using this with the Rainforest of the Tea Water Foundation. It works fine to spot conceal. Its works okay for under eye concealing, but definitely isn't full coverage. Smells like paint. Fairly slow drying and creases pretty quickly.
Biggest plus for me is that it doesn't irritate my eyes which many other products are doing right now.
It really isn't bad per se, but there is definitely better in existence

I have long, thick hair and the sample was way more than I needed, so I'm confident it goes very far, even if its an expensive product.

Bought this product after watching a review on YouTube. Its available through Sephora for $51 CAD so its definitely pricey. Almost full coverage, easy to work with, reacts well to my sensitive and breakout prone skin, but it has a dropper applicator thing that is a pain and its impossible to use all the product in the bottle with it. I ended up dumping all the product left in the bottle into a new one so it didn't go to waste.
Love this product, but would love it more if repackaged and put it in a pump top bottle.
