NEW!!! Tarte Rainforest After Dark: Colored Eye & Cheek Palette

PACKAGING:
The palette comes in a purple box with a gold snake emblemed on it.

The palette itself is made from bamboo and is in the shape of a circle much like the Tarte Aqualillies palette released awhile back. 

The palette contains
-6 colored clay eyeshadows (exclusive shades!)
-Colored clay blush in the color Unleashed
-Colored clay bronzer in Park Ave Princess
-Colored clay highlighter in Champagne 
-A paper pamphlet that teaches you how to do 2 looks using the palette



FORMULATION:
Like most Tarte products, the eyeshadows and face products in this palette are all paraben, mineral oil, phthalates, tricolosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, and gluten free (dermatologist tested/not tested on animals). So basically it doesn't contain any of those bad chemicals that we see in most cosmetics today.

The eyeshadows are all really soft and easy to work with and last a long time due to the clay that it contains. However in terms of pigmentation, the lighter colors don't show up as well as the darker colors. This is quite common with Tarte eyeshadows.

The highlighter Champagne is extremely pigmented so be very careful and use a light hand.

The blush in the color Unleashed was the disappointment in this palette. Most of the Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes are super pigmented how this one I pretty much had to scrape the palette just to get some color out of it.

The bronzer Park Ave Princess is a decent bronzer. If you have super fair skin you can use it for contouring. For darker skin tones, using it all over or as a blush is better.
