Review on Tarte Sweet Indulgence Holiday 3 in 1 Gift Collection! (With Swatches!)

  I know this might seem a little late but, its better late then never! Plus it gave me a little bit more time to test out the numerous products that were included in this collection. I was shocked to have received this on Christmas and hear that it was only 60 bucks. I know that the two blushes and a mascara could have easily made it over that price. Overall I absolutely love this! I have never tried many of Tarte's products except for their foundation and this was definitely a great way to try their other things.

  This is what the collection looks like, with each of the three boxes containing a different set.

  The first box absolutely blew my mind! It had two eyeshadow palettes that had 8 shadows in each one, including both mattes and shimmers, darks and lights.

From Top to Bottom First Row: pinky promise, you look mauveless, pampered pink, show plum love
From Top to Bottom Second Row: taupe of the world, just malt away, dare to be gold, wind down brown

  Here are some swatches as well!

I love the fact that they are split into two separate looks; the mauvey/pink look or the neutral golden look. But of course I love to mix and match like Im sure a lot of us do :] The quality is amazing on these and the pigmentation is supreme. The only color that might need a base or primer is pampered pink but its still very pretty for a light wash of color.

From Top to Bottom First Row: vanilla candles, hazelnut bon bons, bronze cuff, espresso yourself

From Top to Bottom Second Row: coming up roses, champagne bubble bath, feeling grey-t, cinnamon latte

Some more swatches!

This palette is a bit more on the cool tone side compared to the first palette. It also has two different looks and another not as pigmented color, champagne bubble bath. Overall these eye shadows are amazing and blend effortlessly. I love them!

In the next little box comes the blushes and lippies!

  These are the two blushes, sorry that they didnt show up too great on camera but they really are great colors. The top one is the shimmery one in savored. Usually I dont like a shimmery blush but when it is on the cheeks it isn't very noticeable. Instead it adds a wash of rose and a sweet glow. The other, bottom shade, is pampered. I loooove this color and have worn it nonstop. I wish it wasnt limited addition because Im obsessed. It is a beautiful coral pink and the swatch just doesn't do it any good. They are both very smooth and easily blendable.

Here are some up close pictures of the blushes.

  The three lippies are also great quality. They didn't seem to have skimped out on much in this collection. It came with one Lipsurgence Lipgloss in Indulging and two Lipsurgence Lip Cremes in Rare and Wonder. All of them seem to have great wear time, especially the lipgloss. It is a little tacky so those who dont like sticky lip gloss might not like it, but it definitely helps the staying power. It is also very pigmented in a rich redish pink color, I love it. The two lip cremes/pencils seem to also be very long wearing and at least for me, they left a stain afterwords. It might help to line the lips before hand to help the wear of these appear more even, just a suggestion! They are all wonderful.

Anddd of course the swatches...

The final box held two full size Lights Camera Lashes mascaras and three eyeliner pencils. Unfortunately the eyeliners that are in this collection are nothing like they have in their permanent line. They are more, cheap in appearance and aren't as smooth as their other liners. They have pretty good pigmentation but they arent as creamy and blendable as others are. However the mascaras are phenomenal! I love the brush, its thin but with thicker bristles to add volume and get into the smaller areas of the eyes (the outer corner and lower lashes). But they definitely are not water proof. It easily comes off with water when I remove my makeup at night. Luckily though, it doesn't flake throughout the day and keeps it shape pretty well on my lashes.

From Top to Bottom: plum, bronze, charcoal (appears to have some blue undertones)

 If you made it through this entire post I thank you so much for the support because I know its long. There was sooo much stuff in this collection and overall, it was a great kit. I just wish that the shadows and the blushes weren't limited edition so that more people could get their hands on them. They are probably available on ebay or amazon for a higher price than normal, but if it isn't too bad I definitely recommend it! Anyways I hope you all enjoy it!
