tarte™ vip is our new and improved loyalty program, replacing tarte™ perks. It’s free to join, and rewards you for shopping on tarte.com. You’ll earn points on every qualifying purchase and can redeem them for exclusive discounts and rewards.

Yes. If you don’t make a qualifying purchase or complete a points-earning activity within 12 months, your points will expire. To view your current redeemable points balance, visit your tarte™ vip rewards page when logged into your account.

If you’d like to opt out, contact our customer service team at squad@tarte.com.

tarte™ vip is available to customers in the U.S. and select international countries. Anyone with a tarte.com account is eligible.

You’ll receive a review email about 21 days after your purchase. Submit your review through that email to earn points. Bonus points are awarded if you upload a photo. Reviews submitted directly on site (outside the email flow) will not earn points.

Your points history shows five different status labels that help you track your progress. Here’s what each one means:

Earned – These points have been successfully added to your account after completing an activity, placing a qualifying order, or reaching a milestone.

Pending – Points are on the way but not available to use just yet. This usually happens with purchases that need to ship before the points are finalized or with activities that have a built-in delay.

Progress to Complete – You’ve started a points-earning action (like a quiz or review), but haven’t finished it yet. Once the action is completed, points will be awarded.

Reversed – Points were removed because the qualifying action was canceled. For example, if you referred a friend who later canceled their order, the points earned from that referral would be reversed.

Refunded – If you returned a product you earned points on, those points will be deducted from your account once the return is processed.

You’ll see your tier status at the top of your tarte™ vip rewards page when logged in.

Create a tarte.com account here: Create Your Account. You’ll be automatically enrolled in the vip program. Already had a tarte™ perks account? Good news — your points and tier status were automatically transferred.

For instant-earn activities (like quizzes), points should appear right away. For purchase-based rewards, points are added once your order ships. Make sure you’re logged in and complete the action through your tarte™ vip page to earn points.

Every vip gets a birthday reward based on their current tier. You don’t need to do anything — the points will be added automatically to your account during your birthday month.

- Silver & Gold: 3,500 points = 20% off

- Platinum: 5,000 points = 25% off

You’ll earn 10 points for every $1 USD spent on qualifying items at tarte.com. Points are added to your account once your order ships.

For international customers, your order total is first converted to U.S. dollars based on daily exchange rates. You’ll then earn 10 points for every $1 USD, just like U.S. customers. The converted amount may vary slightly depending on current currency rates at the time your order is processed. You can also earn points by completing qualifying activities listed on your  tarte™ vip

You’ll receive 3,000 bonus points automatically when you level up to a new tier. You’ll also get a 'Welcome to Tier' email. Redeem the points during checkout for a $10 USD coupon or another reward of your choice.

You can earn additional points by completing eligible activities like quizzes, product reviews, and more. Check the tarte™ vip rewards page for current options.
