This palette must have powers, because every time I post a picture of it here or Instagram, I get lots of questions, like who makes that!? Why is it so effing gorgeous!? If I wear that, will Magic Mike/non-husky Channing Tatum show up in a leather thong!?
I totally get the attraction. I’m low-key obsessed with it too, which is why I keep taking pictures of it…
Yes, it’s a neutral palette, and you already know how I feel about neutrals. 🙂 I love them. But this one isn’t #basic. It’s filled with pink, plum and taupe, with a dash of gold and copper.
Like the shadows in the Rainforest of the Sea eye palettes, these are semi-creamy, but an infinitesimal amount less wet…
I was going to say “moist,” but you know my stance on that word.
Anyway, the creamy texture makes them incredibly smooth and easy to blend, and that in turn makes them FUN and great for fast eye looks. FYI, though, they aren’t the most pigmented shadows on the block. They’re on the sheer side, which is another reason I like them, because I’m perpetually in a hurry.
If you like them but crave more color, you can turn up their intensity by applying them with a finger.
I REALLY like that I can sloosh a few of these colors on my lids, do some half-@ssed blending, and have it turn out OK. That’s a major plus in my book.
The darkest shade, by the way, is a deep plummy brown that looks SO pretty as a liner all by itself, or layered on top of a purple pencil liner like MAC Prunella. Those two are so bomb together.
It’s flat-out gorge-gina on top of black pencil. The black makes it look more complex and deeper.
It’s lazy-girl approved and gets two very enthusiastic thumbs up from me. ??
If you wanna Make Magic Happen, head on over to Ulta, because that’s where this beauty resides.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I’m loving these colors for fall! I may have to just splurge and purchase this one!
I love this palette too. I know there are so many neutral palettes out there and I know Tarte makes a lot of them – but that’s their niche and they’re good at it, so why not? They have one of the most gorgeous neutral palettes that I consider my go-to (In Bloom). They mix it up now and then with palettes like this that feature some interesting shades, and I love them for that. They can just do no wrong in my eyes. I buy pretty much every palette they release. Did you get the Big Blush Book 3?
What a beautiful palette! I love the Rainforest of the Sea formula so I bet I would love these x
Oh my, I love this palette. The colors would look great with my green eyes and white hair! May have to use some points at Ulta and treat myself.
Ugh, why is this is so gorgeous?! My kind of neutrals palette. So I totally don’t need it. lol Maybe on the next mega-sale…
These look like the toned down versions of all the fall palettes from LORAC. I like. I’m lazy as the day is long.
