REVIEW- Tarte Empower Flower palette

REVIEW- Tarte spring 2015 Empower Flower Amazonian clay collector's palette

A new season always brings exciting new makeup to try and Tarte has come out with some new spring 2015 palettes that you know I had to try. In my opinion, Tarte comes out with THE best palettes and I always find them super useable and you always get your money's worth, so of course I couldn't resist this one.

First off, the packaging. Hello. It's purple, my all time fave! And just so pretty for spring! So that automatically caught my eye right off the bat in the store. Second, I think it's a great extremely useful palette because it comes with both eye products as well as face (two blushes and a bronzer. So definitely you get a nice bang for your buck.

Side note, this palette is free of parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate as well as gluten free.

It retails for $50 and is sold at Sephora or check out  http://tartecosmetics.com/


So now on to the palette itself and swatches, of course!....

So a little about what you get. This palette comes with 8 eyeshadows (2 shimmer shadows and 6 matte shadows), 2 blushes, as well as a bronzer (their famous Park Ave Princess...dying!!)

Tarte has, in my opinion, the best eyeshadows. They apply beautifully, don't crease at all, are very pigmented and just feel so lightweight when applied. And this palette does not disappoint. The colors are great neutrals with pops of purples and mauvy type shades, really pretty for the warmer months.

Here are the swatches of all the shadows:

light to dark- compassionate, vivacious, pretty, powerful, energetic, eco-chic, charitable & glamorous

Tarte has amazing blushes as well so no surprise that these blushes deliver. The first one, Trustworthy, is a great neutral natural blush. Just gives you that nice natural flush. And the other blush, Empowering, is more on the pinky side without being too in your face.

 

 

and swatches:

 

trustworthy & empowering

 

And lastly, anyone who loves Tarte knows about their famous bronzer, Park Ave Princess. And boy, is it famous for a reason. It's THE perfect bronzer for lighter skin tones as its not orangey at all. It gives you an all over bronzy glow that is just to die for.

All in all, this is an amazing palette and a must have for any Tarte fan and really anyone who loves a great multi purpose palette! I give it an A+!
