Tarte Young, Wild and Free Palette: UK Shipping and Swatches

Tarte is a brand that I have always wanted to try as their products look amazing and the products are packaged so beautifully. When Tarte had a 30% off sale and cheaper shipping I knew I had to take the opportunity to buy something!

The palette itself cost £21 and there was a deal on the shipping for the 4th July weekend which mean that the whole package, palette and shipping only cost me £28.35. With shipping from the US included I think this is a reasonable price.

The tiny size of the palette compared to others

The Young, Wild and Free Palette is a limited edition palette that contains 8 new limited edition eyeshadow shades. The palette is full of nudes and browns, so could easily be used daily, and the packaging is so cute it is to die for! The palette has the phrase "Throw kindness around like confetti," which acts as a cute little pick me up and reminder. The size of the palette is also relatively compact allowing for it to be carried around in a make-up bag and perfect for travel.

Swatches of simple life, weekend, party, happy place, lucky charm, virtue, dream team and wow

Swatches of the palette with the flash on

Tarte do neutral eyeshadow shades so well and when I opened this I was so excited to try all of these beautiful shades. The glitter shades in the eyeshadow palette are stunning colours, and are very reminiscent of the original Naked Palettes shades. My favourite shade in the palette is Lucky Charm, a bright rose gold colour with lots of shimmer. I use this shade with Weekend, the matte brown to create a simple look that I can wear daily and to work.

Whilst I do love the glitter shades in the palette the only downside for me is that the matte brown shade in the palette isn't the best I've tried. Although the brown is a lovely shade its quite hard to build the colour and takes a long time to blend well around the eye.

Despite this I will still continue to use the palette as the other colours certainly make up for the brown matte shade not being the best (and I definitely have enough matte brown shades to make up for this one!) This palette will come in handy when I go away for the weekends and don't want to carry too much makeup or baggage with me.

Do you own anything from Tarte Cosmetics that you could recommend? Let me know!

The Ride or Die Make-up Tag: Jaclyn Hill Tag

Jaclyn Hill is probably one of my favourite Youtube beauty gurus. I watch her videos religiously and try out many of the looks she creates. I recently watched her video where she created a new tag, The Ride or Die tag, in which you tag your must have beauty products from each category (foundation, eyelashes, lips etc..) Although I don't have a Youtube channel I thought I would make a blog post up about it. 

Here is my list of ride or die make-up and beauty products that I couldn't live without and take with me every time I go away.

Primer:  

Benefit POREfressional Primer

NYX Angel Face Primer

Eye Primer: 

Urban Decay Primer Potion Original

Eyeshadow: 

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Eyeshadow Palette

Mascara:

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara 

Foundation:

Bronzer:

Lips:

So this is the list of my favourite make-up products that I would always use or re-buy if I could only use one item of each beauty product again.
