Cat Reviews: Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette

Aloha Friends!  As you guys know I have a growing collection of eyeshadow palettes so when I saw the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea palette on Sephora's website, I HAD TO HAVE IT.  I searched high and low since it came out to get my hands on it but it was sold out everywhere and it was craziness. But FINALLY last week I was perusing the endless aisles at Sephora and there it was, shining and calling my name.  I swatched a few of the colors and wasn't completely in love like I though I'd be, so I went to get lunch and thought over whether or not I actually wanted it and by the fact that you're reading this post right now, you can probably come to my conclusion yourself lol.

The Tarte Rainforest of the Sea eyeshadow palette is limited edition and is available at Sephora and Tarte.com for $36.  It comes with eight shadows, three mattes and five shimmers and a HUGE mirror. The packaging is gold and has a BEAUTIFUL colorful design on the outside and I honestly really love that it's circular because it's different from all the other palettes in my collection.  It's small enough that it fits perfectly in my hand, which makes me think it'll be good for travel, but I haven't gotten to take it anywhere with me yet!

Now into the specifics!  Like I mentioned before, the palette comes with eight shadows, three mattes, Abyss (dark brown), Cover (tan), and Sand (ivory), and five shimmers, Mermaid (gold), Seashell (pink), Wave (slate), Reef (copper), and Starfish (bronze).  These eight shadows are SOOOOOOOOOO buttery and soft!  When I swatched three of the colors in store, the pay off wasn't super amazing, but still really really good, but the pigmentation with primer is EVEN BETTER.  As you can see below, the swatches with primer are just incredible!  I also really love the name of the shadows because sea-things are very me lol.

This is my very first Tarte palette and I honestly really love it.  The quality of the shadows is amazing and I really think you get your money's worth.  If you can get your hands on this palette you NEED it in your collection!  Or even if you can just swatch it, do it because I promise you that after that, you will not want another palette!

As always, thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!  I'm adding this palette to my new daily makeup routine, so keep an eye out for an updated Steal My Look!

All the Love,
