Hello fellow Beauty fanatics today i'll be sharing my thoughts and swatches of my recently purchased Makeup Palette from Tarte Cosmetics. Before i start here's a little info about the company, Tarte Cosmetics was founded by Maureen Kelly in 1999 for the sole purpose of creating a cosmetics line without using unhealthy ingredients such as Parabens, Triclosan and other harmful ingredients w/c other cosmetic company use. Tarte is also a cruelty company (which is a big thing to me) meaning they don't tests on animals at the same time they use eco friendly ingredients w/c is beneficial to our environment and good to our skin, you can read more about the company's facts and background HERE.
This was a Limited Edition Set that they released during their 2015 Mother's Day Collection, but i think they restocked it this year i'm not sure but anyway i got mine from a legit online seller where i order and buy some of my beauty products you can check here online shop Here . I bought this set for 1,350.00 Php and it comes with 16 mattes and shimmers shades and a deluxe size mascara.
The size of the Palette is 11 cm in length, 11.5 cm in width and about 1cm thick. Each eyeshadow pans contains 0.7 grams or 0.024 oz of product. The packaging is made of hard cardboard with magnetic closing. It has a good size mirror which is a plus if your going to take it with you when you go out or when traveling.
The mascara contains 4ml of product and it has a very nice packaging, unlike an ordinary mascara that has a plastic tube, this one is wrap around with an animal textured plastic layer w/c gives the product a fabulous finish.
There are 11 matte shades and 5 shimmer shades, what i love about this palette is it's colors are very neutral so it's perfect for all skin types. It will go well to people with very light skin color and at the same time the colors will look as good to people with dark skin tone. The only thing that i don't like about this palette is the names of the shades is on the plastic cover so if ever you decide to throw it away or lost it you won't be able to know the name of the shades unless you memorize it.
Now for the fun part, here are the swatches of the shades from left to right order of the palette.
top to bottom: I'm your Pear - shimmer , Two ro Tan-go - matte, Melted Chocolate - matte, Rich Mahogany - matte.
Top to bottom: Sand by me- shimmer, The first Mauve - matte, Beauty and Bronze - shimmer, Malberry nice - shimmer
Top to bottom: Peach of mind - matte, Champagne & strawberries - shimmer, Coffee date - matte, Hazlenut souffle - matte
Top to Bottom: Pinky Promise - matte, Floral Bouquet-matte, Violet it be - matte , Plum Together - matte
Another thing that i like about this palette is how Tarte arranged the orders of the shades, if you're a newbie with makeup and don't know or confuse on what colors go together you can simply use it by horizontal row, if you notice each row has a light and dark, shades that you can use to create a full look, each row has it's transition shade, a pop of color that you can use to highlight either the inner corner of your eyes or the center of you lids, it also has the darker shades w/c you can use on outer corner of your lids to create a dimension and dramatic look.
here are two different looks that i was able to create from this palette:
i use the shades: Pinkie promise as a base, The first mauve as a transition shade, Coffee date on my outer half lids, rich mahogany on my outermost corner, and i'm your pearl to my inner corner. mascara:is the tarte camera lights mascara, lipstick is from ofra long lasting liquid lipstick in the shade Coven.
shades used: Pinkie Promise as my base, Tan to go as my transition shade, hazelnut souffle on my outer corner and sand by me on my center lid going to inner corner.
Overall i love this Palette, it's very pigmented and long lasting as expected with every Tarte products. The mascara is amazing, it gives your lashes volume perfect for those who hates wearing falsies( like me).
Is it worth? personally yes, i'm very happy with this purchase i use it often and the pigments are amazing that you only need a little product to get a dramatic look so i doubt if you hit pan. However if you own neutral shade palettes and earth tone eye shadows you can skip this because the shades on this are typical earthy brown tones except for the bottom row w/c is more towards the purple tones, but if your like me who love to collect makeups i definitely recommend this.
That's it for my personal thoughts regarding this palette, hope this helps.. thanks for dropping by...
