TARTE - TARTELETTE IN BLOOM CLAY PALETTE

On the last day of the Christmas countdown my true love gave to me, the Tartelette In Bloom Amazonian Clay palette by Tarte!


'This one's for all the jetsetters, funny girls and smarty pants out there' - SEPHORA


Packaging

This palette has a beautiful floral themed cover to it, with gold lettering. The palette has a light plastic casing, trimmed in gold, and contains a full mirror.

Tarte have also been kind enough to provide two step-by-step looks that can be achieved by using the colours within the palette.


'12 never-before-seen, long wear shades ranging from deep, velvety mattes to bright shimmery metallics' - TARTE

'With 9 mattes and 3 lusters, these lid liner and crease pairings allow you to create stunning, smouldering looks with the guesswork' - TARTE

Formula & Pigmentation

Tarte pride themselves on their naturally derived Amazonian clay formula, which promises to provide better, longer and truer eyeshadow wear. I haven't been able to fault this claim since I've been using this palette, and have found that the shimmer shades in particular really pop when I pair them with Urban Decay's Primer Potion.

If there's one thing that I feel Tarte have mastered, it's their shimmer shades. They are highly pigmented and have brilliant colour payoff. On the flip side, some of the matte shades appear slightly chalky when swatched however this I found that this was easily corrected again with my Primer Potion by Urban Decay.

This palette is also paraben free, phthalate free and sulfate free. 


'Infused with Tarte's signature Amazonian clay formula, you'll get the same pigmented payoff, blendability and lasting colour as the original tartelette - all in a chic, portable palette with a beautiful floral design' - SEPHORA


Affordability & Retailers

You can purchase your very own Tartlette In Bloom palette directly from Tarte for $61.00 AUD, or from Sephora for $69.00 AUD. Keep in mind, Sephora do offer free shipping for orders over $55.00

Final Verdict

This is a palette that you can fall in love with very easily. Since purchasing this palette a couple of months ago, I find myself aautomatically reaching for this palette over everything else. If can appreciate a majestic shimmer shade, and you're looking for a palette that you can use for a work day and a night out, then this is the perfect palette for you. 

For 12 beautiful shades and a maximum price tag of $69.00, this palette is good value for money with each individual shade working out to around $5.75.

I hope you beauties have found this Christmas countdown helpful or at least amusing. Let me know if you'd like me to run it again next year!
