I have many MANY tarte reviews coming up in July.  To get you to that $50 threshold, I highly recommend these items from the endless summer collection:  4 day stay lash stain (mascara that lasts for 4 days!), lips ahoy (8 different gloss shades in an adorable gold case) and enbrightenmint (one side is a whitener for the teeth, the other a rich opaque gloss).  Have fun shopping!
