This makeup holiday set collection comes in a jewelry box storage theme with 2 tiers.

The 2nd layer includes a golden portable palette compact with 3 new full size maracuja lipglosses.

1. Lift the 'rectangular section' that you want to take with you on the go by using the purple string attached on the side.
2. Place the palette in the golden portable palette compact and you're all ready to go!



The lip gloss comes in a clear tube with a golden cap. The company's name "Tarte" on the body of the lip gloss tube is in gold while the names of the lip gloss on the bottom of the tube is in purple. The lip glosses also comes with a standard doe foot applicator for an easy application.

All of the eyeshadow and blushes names are on the back of the palette;

so you finally don't need to keep that clear plastic sheet anymore :]

The eyeshadows were very soft, buttery, and smooth with great pigmentation. I barely had any trouble with any of the eyeshadows. I'm really surprised since people said that Tarte's eyeshadows were poop! Some were a bit dry like Central Park and Midnight in Paris but they were not a pain to work with at all.

The blushes are heavenly. It only takes a little bit for amazing color pay off since the pigmentation is excellent. I can definitely say that Tarte has some of the best blushes around (...I do own 15+ of their other shades)

The lip glosses has a minty scent which tingles just slightly on the lips. The texture of them are just SLIGHTLY to barely there sticky but nothing that would bother me all that much when I'm wearing it on my lips.

Grand Canyon, Taj Mahal, Big Ben, Central Park and Savvy.

Santorini Bikini, Great Sphynx, Pacific Sunset, Belgian Chocolate, and Spontaneous.

Serengeti Sand, Buckingham Palace, Rocky Mountains, Bordeaux, and Ambitious.

Gold Coast, Eiffel Tower, Space Needle, Midnight in Paris, and Lighthearted.

Whew, that was one heck of a review for me. I truly apologize for not posting lately and I can never apologize enough. I've been so busy with school and other things in life that I need to push my blog off to the side. I also missed using my camera so it was fun using it again! My blog and camera definitely needs more love from me!

ANYWAYS, this is such an awesome Holiday set since you can give it away to someone or keep it just for yourself. It has so many eyeshadows, blushes, and lipglosses that you can create a variety of looks with it. The quality of the items are above and beyond. This set really blew me away and it's totally worth the $$$. Did I also mention that the packaging is adorable?! You can reuse the box and it's totally cute when you put it out for display on the vanity table. So what are you waiting for?! Go ahead and buy this awesome holiday set by Tarte!
