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.
