I'm so excited to finally be getting this blog done! I enjoy doing review on eye palettes so much and plan to have a lot more coming!
Eyeshadow is one of my favorite pieces of makeup and I usually fall in love with every palette I see, but I tend to usually buy only the ones I really see myself wearing. Or, if a couple shades really stick out to me I will buy them too. Although buying this palette was something out of my comfort zone on colors, I still wanted to check it out Plus, it was on sale! I've had so much fun experimenting with these colors and I'm really looking forward to reviewing more, because this really has gotten me out of my comfort zone and has made me want to try new things!
Now into this review. If you didn't know already, this is the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself Palette. First of all, is this palette beautiful or what?! These shades can sometimes be so intimidating to use (especially when the formulas don't blend well), but I didn't have too many issues. Of course I like to use a variety of different shadows and palettes for the same look, but I wanted to create looks using each shade from this palette. I tried to use at least two of them with each look (plus some others that you can check out in the tutorials I'll have posted soon enough) and they all turned out beautifully. I like more matte colors (this palette only has one matte) in my eye looks, but that wasn't the case with these looks. Get ready for some tutorials with a lot of shimmer. These are so pigmented and creamy and this palette smells so good! It's one of those scents that is hard to explain, but it smells heavenly. I can usually even smell them while I'm wearing them. I know some might not like that, but you should really smell this! It kind of smells like a Mac lipstick, but it's just a little stronger. I've heard some complain about Tarte shadows "not lasting" or the shades actually "fade" and make it look like just gray all over your eyes. Thankfully that isn't the case for me. I have more palettes from them and I've never had that problem. I do really love the smell, formula, and overall quality these shadows have. This is a $40 palette, but I believe it is $30 until they sell out completely since this is a limited edition line! I personally think that is a steal for a palette of this quality and the fact that it is limited edition! These bright colors are fun to play with and if you are trying to get more colorful and creative with your make, I say go for it!
I give this palette a 8/10
*Great pigment and formula
**beautiful highlight shade
***Bright colors that stand out
****Good cute packaging
-I wish there were extra matte shades in this palette.
-The downfall of it being a limited edition item.
