When I first saw the rainforest palette on the Ulta website I said to myself, "I have to get that palette". Never trying Tarte brand eyeshadows before, I knew this palette was going to be something special that I would enjoy.
Let's talk about the packaging! The package is gorgeous.......it's a large compact with great size mirror and the outside a beautiful gold detail of a snake with a purple stone on the head. Tarte is known for having such great packaging. But are the products just as good as the packaging???
Yes they are!!!!This palette is great for travel; this is all that you need to bring to do a full face (blush, highlighter, bronzer, & eyeshadows). It includes a full size of the famous 12-hour amazonian clay blush, the famous park ave princess bronzer, a highlighter, and six warm and cool toned eyeshadows (matte & shimmer).
From left to right: Champagne (highlighter), Unleashed (blush), Park Ave Princess (bronzer).
Champagne, a very reserved highlight with gold specs-"it won't make you look like a disco ball."
Unleashed, a matte cool tone pink.
Park Ave Princess, a matte bronzer with the slightest sheen; can also be used as a tradition shade eyeshadow--it reminds me of Mac e/s in soft brown. This bronzer gives the skin a nice bronzy glow, or it can be build able to create a deep contour.
From left to right: Bare to Explore (matte), Make a Mauve (slight shimmer), Plum away with me (slight shimmer), Up to Gold (frost), Tan-Gled up in you (matte), Don't Turn a-Brown (matte).
*all six shadows are perfect to create more than one look; you can easily incorporate the highlight, bronzer, and the blush. The possibilities are endless!
Size comparison: small Z-palette
Size comparison: full size Nars palette
I am very pleased with this palette; I don't regret purchasing it. I feel that this will be a great palette to travel with, but being a make-up addict like me, you know that traveling with one palette is not possible.

Thanks for reading about my weekly make-up addiction!
