The Gift Boxes For The Tarte Trip To Bora Bora Are Prob Worth More Than My Tuition

It’s that time of year again where everyone wishes they were full-time influencers. Tarte is back at it again with their #tripppinwithtarte trips, and this one is going to take the cake. Influencers on TikTok have been preparing for a trip with Tarte to Bora Bora, which begins on Feb. 29. Be prepared for all the beachy TikTok content and wishing you were on the water instead of in a classroom. Gifting comes along with brand trips, especially with Tarte, and they always go over the top. The gift boxes for the Tarte trip to Bora Bora look unreal.

Tarte Cosmetics has a reputation of throwing the best luxury influencer trips. They’ve hosted over 20 trips, according to Forbes, and have executed each one with top-tier influencers, like Monet McMichael, Alix Earle, and Xandra Pohl. Tarte founder and CEO Maureen Kelly told Forbes, “Almost 10 years ago, we set out to create an intimate bonding environment … and #trippinwithtarte was born. The idea from the beginning was to invite innovative creators from all over the world to join us in an intimate setting where they can relax and I can connect with them 1:1. This time together builds deeper relationships and strengthens the story behind the brand.”

According to TikTokers, the Bora Bora trip was originally planned for the beginning of February, but due to weather on the island it had to be rescheduled to Feb. 29. Not only was every person on the guest list given a box full of goodies at the beginning of February, but they were sent a second box the week of the rescheduled trip. (If only this happened to me when I had a canceled trip). The boxes were filled with products any makeup and fashion lover would only dream of receiving, and the items amount to over $2,000 worth of product. Let’s get into what was inside the Tarte Bora Bora gift boxes.

BÉIS Tote Bag

Of course, travel essentials are needed for a trip, and a BÉIS tote bag ($108) is the perfect bag to include in a PR package.

A Canon Powershot G7X camera was included in the package. This digital camera is almost $650, and was gifted to over 20 influencers. I think it’s safe to say Tarte can afford everything for their influencers and more.

Not one, but two pairs of Nike Air Jordans in the iconic Tarte purple color were put into every package, one pair for the influencer and one pair for the guest they chose to bring to Bora Bora. Imagine being someone’s plus one to Bora Bora? Talk about a dream trip.

The CEO of Tarte knows how to make a package personal and make influencers feel special. Along with the pricey products in the welcome packages, a handwritten note from Maureen Kelly herself was included, with a personalized additional gift that was specific to the influencer.

The TikTokers on this Tarte trip to Bora Bora come from all backgrounds, ages, and different types of content. Influencers are bringing their families, best friends and their NFL husbands, too. 

Stay tuned for more content today and throughout the next week. Tarte fans are in for a treat.
