Tarte Poppy Picnic Limited Edition Amazonian Clay Eye & Check Palette ($38)


I am in LOVE with this palette's packaging! It has a gorgeous floral front with a gold mirror peeking through the flower details. The back is entirely a gold mirror. It is also a great size; slim enough and sturdy enough for comfortable travel! There is a HUGE mirror inside that's very nice quality. The palette contains no printed shade names - only a plastic slip that easily gets dirty/thrown away. 

I have to say that the eye shadows are awesome and pigmented. There is absolutely no issue with them. The colors range from light to dark, which allow you to create a natural or dramatic look. I was excited for the blush because I tend to wear light pink blushes a lot. What I didn't realize is how sparkly it is. The amount of shimmer is too much for me. I typically only like sparkle/highlight on the top of my cheeks not all over my cheek. 

I have some texture on my cheeks so I usually stick with matte blushes and add a sparkle on the tops of the cheekbones. This blush is definitely not for the faint of heart! I wish the blush were matte (like Tarte usually does), that way I can put my highlight where I want it. 

Overall, I'm really enjoying the eye shadows yet ignoring the blush. I think the price is a tad steep for what you get.
