Ever since Tarte Cosmetics released their Shape Tape Concealers, I knew I had to get my hands on one. For those of you who know your way around the makeup blogger world, you know how much everyone on YouTube raved about them. For a while, it was on everyone’s “favorites of the month” videos! Despite the steep price for, frankly, such a small tube of makeup, I am willing to pay anything if that tube is filled with the magical powers everyone makes it out to have. The only problem, is that my mayonnaise-like complexion only matches the lightest shade, which is never, ever in stock.

Maybe I’m just not fast enough to compete with all the other makeup-lovers out there, because every ULTA lady I have ever spoken to always tells me, “Sorry, sweetie but those fly out the stores every time we get them in.” This is bad news for me and my whiter-than-whipped-cream skin tone.

So, for what feels like an eternity, I have searched and searched for the palest Shape Tape Concealer. Since my face resembles that of a crisp sheet of computer paper from Office Depot, I really cannot afford to settle for a darker shade.

To voice my frustration, not against the brand but mostly against my bad luck, I have a quick song to sing. Maybe if Tarte sees my passion and desperation they will hook me up with this beautiful product? Probably not, but here goes nothing. So, Tarte, please take mercy on this pale and awkward little college girl who, despite her stage fright and introverted tendencies, has made this song for you; and restock your lightest shade! To everyone else: Feel free to mock my quirkiness but when this video makes it onto the Ellen Degeneres show and she hooks me up with a lifetime supply of Shape Tape Concealers in “fair,” then this will all be worth it!
