As this is such an early sneak peek there are no prices available as yet. What I do have however, is the UK launch for Shape Tape Foundation! This will launch in the UK exclusively at QVC Beauty in March. If you can't wait till then and are willing to ship from the USA, it will be available from the Tarte Cosmetics official site from the 15 January.

As soon as I have UK pricing I will be sure to update you via Instagram and Twitter.

I'll be talking about the hydrating formula and blending sponge in a follow up post, so keep your eyes peeled.
