Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case
Today I have something very exciting to show you, the Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case. I am a big fan of Tarte’s Holiday palettes, and this year the Sephora exclusive Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case caught my attention. I haven’t had the palette for very long and have only used it a couple times, so this isn’t really a proper review. But I know that the Sephora VIB sale is right around the corner, so I wanted to at least show it to you and swatch it for you so that you could get a sense of whether or not you want to add it to your Sephora Loves list to pounce on when the sale opens up. So let’s take a look.

Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case
Here is what Sephora has to say about the Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case: “Be the center of the room with this festive, limited-edition collection, feautring tarte’s beauty favorites, designed to create smoldering makeup looks for any celebration. Create an eye-catching statement wherever you go with the travel-size takeaway palette, featuring shadow, cheek and contouring shades. The trendy collector’s case features a full-size, built-in eye shadow palette with 30 shades, including 24 brilliant, never before seen shades in mixed mattes and shimmers. With a travel-friendly eye shadow brush and deluxe-size mascara, this set is perfect for achieving seamless, on-the-go touch-ups for alluring, party-perfect looks.” I love that there is a travel face and eye palette withing this Holiday palette. It’s like getting a two for one deal, and I think it really raises the value of the overall palette. The travel brush is not my favorite thing, but it will do in a pinch and is a good size for traveling. Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara is a long-time favorite and it is always welcome as far as I am concerned.

When you remove the gold travel palette you can see that the Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case has a large mirror. The lid is too heavy to stand up on its own, but if you can lean it against something the mirror is very useful for application. The palette itself is heavy cardboard with a rose gold finish, so I think it is quite durable. It does not lift out of the case. The case zips up for extra security. The lid is covered in sequins that remind me of an Aztec or Santa Fe style design. The photograph doesn’t do it justice. In real life the mixed metals look is really beautiful.

The travel palette comes with a bronzer in Social Butterfly, a blush in Amazed, and a Highlight in Pink Champagne. It also comes with six eyeshadows. You can absolutely do a full face with this travel palette. The bronzer is a nice color for those with light skin, though it may pull a little to warm with certain undertones. The blush is an everyday warm pink that will flatter almost anyone. Pink Champagne is a little more highlight that I usually go for, so I have to use a very light hand when I use it. To be fair, though, I am very conservative with my highlight. Most people will probably love it.

The six eyeshadows in the travel palette have a good range of neutral tones. You will find a good mix of matte and shimmer in taupe, brown, and plum shades. Popcorn Strand is a great matte browbone shade, while Yule be Surprised and Mulberry and Bright make great liners. The two metallic shimmer shades are absolutely gorgeous. I am very pleased with the travel palette, and like I said before, I think it adds a lot of value to the case.

The main palette of the Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case contains 24 shades. Tarte is not Urban Decay or Kat Von D, so all the shades in this palette are going to be easy, wearable colors that a person can wear to the office as well as a night out. I love looking at those rainbow palettes and my inner unicorn wants to snatch them up, but as I get older I find that I get a lot more use out of brands like Tarte and Lorac that give me these beautiful user friendly shades. That being said, this isn’t any old neutrals palette. The shadows are gorgeous, the shade names are adorable, and I get a lot of inspiration for different looks from this palette. I think that it is a smart palette. Tarte chose well when it came to which shades to make shimmer and which ones to make matte. It’s a great mix of mid tones and dark tones, plenty of highlights, and the shades are pretty evenly spit between warm and cool undertones. I swatched the shadows in columns moving from left to right.

There are some truly lovely shades in this palette, and I can not recommend it enough. The Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case is a Holiday palette that anyone could get good use of. The shades are universally flattering across all ages and skin tones. This would make an amazing gift for both an establishes makeup lover or a beauty beginner. The Tarte Light Of The Party Collector’s Makeup Case is $59 for the 30 shadows, 3 face products, brush and mascara, and that lovely sequined case. It may not be the most inexpensive Holiday palette out there, but I think that it is a pretty good deal for what you actually get. I like Tarte’s shadow formula, and you can’t beat their Amazonian Clay formula for their face products. Again it is a Sephora exclusive. Like all Holiday palettes, it is Limited Edition. If you can snag it during the VIB sale, then I definitely would. Just don’t wait too long because you don’t want it to sell out before you can get your hands on it.
