Tarte gives us a sweet treat!

February 23, 2010

Tarte was sweet enough to introduce us to their limited edition flower child natural eyeshadow palette. This is one of the prettiest palettes that i have come across in a long time. The shadows are showcased in a shiny purple refillable case with a magnetic closure. The outside of the case is beautifully adorned with purple and gold flowers.

This palette also comes complete with “Lifted” which is a natural eye primer (said to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 51% in just 10 minutes), a double sided eye shadow brush and a double sided eyeliner in a Matte Brown on one side and Shimmering Jade on the other. The mirrored palette is filled with 10 shades of saturated pigments and the mirror is signed by the palette designer and celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbrow. The shades are of course floral inspired: (top row left to right) soft daffodil, ecru hibiscus, pink peony, gray periwinkle, peach tulip, (bottom row left to right) firewheel, buttercup, african violet, delphinium blue and vibrant forest grass.

What makes this palette unique? Well for starters this product is cruelty free so it’s not tested on animals. In addition to that wonderful fact the product consists of many beneficial ingredients such as grape seed extract, Vitamin A and Vitamin E, the shadows are made from mineral pigments and the colors apply very smoothly. I love that an inspiration card is enclosed to give you an idea of how to play up the colors for day or evening. The cost of this eco friendly refillable palette is $44 including the brushes and the shadow primer so it’s really worth the cost.

This palette is one of my favorite Spring purchases because not only is the case gorgeous (and refillable) but the color spectrum gives you a lot of flexibility to create a natural look or a smoky eye.

February 20, 2010

shu uemura introduces us to their Spring 2010 Égérie line, Égérie means a rebellious and daring spirit who never loses her sense of elegance and sophistication. This collection has truly captured what it was going for, it’s edgy enough for night and but can be soft enough for the day.  The colors are a celebration of beauty, take a peak!

I must say that I love this collection, the colors are stunning. Take a look at the égérie Rouge Unlimited Nude Beige:

The nude beige color would work well for so many complexions and this lip color may be one of my favorite Spring/Summer 2010 picks. Isn’t the packaging fun? When I buy a product I want the entire experience, I want great packaging with an even greater product. Shu Uemura continues to deliver unique, clean packaging with quality makeup.

Take a look at the Satin Radiant Stick appropriately named “blush”
