I'm back! With a makeup blog. :D
I finally got myself over to Ulta and purchased the new Tarte for True Blood makeup kit.
As a True Blood fan, I was so happy to hear this was coming out. About time.
Let me just say, as a makeup lover, and a True Blood lover, I was almost overloaded with girlish joy! HA!
Anyways, I bought the eyeshadow palette kit and the lipstick. They also have a cheek stain, but I passed on that.
As far as shadows go, this is the first time I have ever purchased anything from Tarte. I was more than pleased to know their products are cruelty free and include that special clay which is suppose to be good for you. The shades included are True Blood inspired, such as "V" which is a deep magenta color, and also "Fairy" a glittered pink color. Very smart. :D
I am pretty hard to satisfy when it comes to makeup. My favorite makeup brands are Revlon and Urban Decay. That being said, the eyeshadow in this special Tarte kit is a bit disappointing. It's not as highly pigmented as I would have hoped. Not like Urbay Decay, but its still good. My skin color is dark, so I am always looking for a high pigment shadow. I suppose if you are a True Blood fan it wouldn't matter. It's 99 percent of why I bought these items. The eyeshadow kit comes in this cute little packaging, as you can see above. It features a box for the makeup with imitation leather that looks like a corset, with a little pull out drawer underneath that has an eyeliner, mascara, and primer. I haven't tried any of those yet, but they seem excellent.
The lipstick on the other hand, is brilliant! I love it. It's a lip pencil and goes on smoothly and lasts a good time. Great red color.
As a makeup connoisseur, I would definitely recommend. If you are a collector of these type of items, its a must have.
Now, the only major downfall to this is the cost, its pretty pricey, but considering the brand and product, it might be worth it, depending on your pocketbooks. :D
Enjoy!
