I haven't made a Sephora order in a while, but I decided to last week and I got two things; the Tarte Femme Naturale palette and the Too Faced Natural Eye palette (I'm a huge sucker for neutrals) and I got both of these suckers this week. I generally like Tarte's palettes in theory because they come with handy little look cards for the colors inside the palette. This palette came with 10 shades of eyeshadow, a dual ended eyeliner, and a dual ended brush. The colors inside this palette are quite pretty as well, and comes in a mix of matte and shimmer shades encased in a reuseable magnetic palette.


For the most part, these shades have decent pigmentation (some are on the sheerer side) and blendability, but the two middle shades in both rows had a somewhat grittier texture, which I think shows in my swatches. On the lid, however, they aplly and blend just fine, but it kind of reminds me of some of MAC's grittier pigments. (and yes, I spelled the name of the palette wrong, but was too lazy to change it)

I actually forgot to swatch the eyeliners in this palette..and I'll add them in later,but both colors are smooth and pretty, and the dual ended brush is a really nice brush as well (it's really soft). Overall, I think it's a pretty decent deal for 10 full sized eyeshadows, eyeliners, and a brush. However, I just cant pull off the darker pink, and I kind of felt that it would look better on lighter skintones (I'm currently NC30-35). Additionally, the quality of the shadows in the palette suck in comparison to Tarte's permanent ones (though still decent), so mine's going back.
wow. those shadows are nice!
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful.. I'm kind of wishing I bought this one instead of the Femme Fatale palette.
