I picked up the eyshadow palette at IMATS. I like the packaging, it is smaller than the Rainforest After Dark palette from a few years ago. The shimmers are pretty, but I wish there was a matte transition shade. I saw the highlighter palette, it is pretty but is very sparkly and intense.

WARPAINTandUnicorns Avatar

Oh WOW this is a much larger collection than I thought after seeing 2 item released during IMATS LA. The Rainforest of the Sea™ Eyeshadow Palette and Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette,

The DRENCH LIP SLASH LIPSTICK I wasn’t expecting, but yess for Tarte finally makeup a tradition lipstick!

The RAINFOREST OF THE SEA WATER FOUNDATION BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 15 was launched last year on QVC and I was VERY interested in it back then. I’ll have to see in person what their Fair one is like.

Katherine T. Avatar

After Tarte came out with those bold lip paints for spring, I was hoping their shadows would go bold too, but it’s the usual shades of neutral brown. But there are some interesting products here, curious about the moisture rich concealer and facial mist, hope it doesn’t contain alcohol and fragrance. Have enough lippies for now, but that cute starfish and seashell packaging is tempting me

BeyondtheBath(Stephie) Avatar

Ooooh! That opal lipstick! Those brushes! That color correction palette!

Looks like color correctors are going to be the next big ‘IT’ thing in cosmetics! UD just came out with a line of them in their ‘Naked’ collection.

WARPAINTandUnicorns Avatar

It’s like the industry I taking classic MUA techniques and making the next IT things every year now to milk it all it worth.

I’m however worried about the correctors just because people don’t seem to understand you mix a small amount into your concealer ot=r foundation first so that it doesn’t read paint strip on your complexion…. you have to work it into your other products to make it look natural!

But what the same of the product from UD? There is a bunch of ebay corrector palette called Urban Story with the Naked branding on them.

Christina Avatar

Wow, quite a release. I have seen bits and pieces of what they’re releasing, but I didn’t realize it was quite so extensive. I’ve never been much of a Tarte fan, but there are a few items here that I’m interested in checking out, mainly the lip products. I do love the packaging–it’s all sorts of whimsical, and the colors are so refreshing!

Kira Avatar

Sooo cute!! I love the packaging of the 2016 lipsticks and the “Rainforest of the Sea.” Weird name though, haha. The colors are actually really lovely. Not that I need another neutral palette, but I’m curious to see how it fares. I still use my Tartelette palette every other day or so.

NeoNails Avatar

Is it just me or does the eyeshadow palette look super blah? Maybe it’s just the press photo, but it looks like almost all the shades are the same midtone, which is the sure sign of a muddy eye look.

I know Tarte is known for their wearable everyday neutrals, but… This just seems TOO neutral. :/

Fran Avatar

What an enormous collection! Cute packaging. Will have to see what it looks like. The primer/setting/hydrating spray sounds interesting. At first I thought there were some green-leaning shades in the eyeshadow palette, but I think it was just a trick of my monitor — too bad — I like green-leaning neutrals.

Joy Avatar

Long read. This is happening Ivlooked into ingredients My first thought was Tarte could be duping a La Mer type thing but no. Ingredients are nothing special. This is BS. I like looks of eye compact. Colors are shimmery neutrals Variety shade range Tone. Curious about concealer and lip hydrated primer though reading ingredients ? This launch Big way to start daily Temptalia reading. ??

Emme Avatar

So Tarte has joined the water/aqua foundation trend. Bring it! Also, the eye palette looks like it may be a more affordable alternative to Tom Ford’s Nude Dip quad. I own Nude Dip and while it is lovely…to me it’s not worth the price tag. I think this one will give the same feel/look at more than half the price. The packaging on this release is really beautiful too!

Holly Avatar

I wish the eye shadow palette didn’t have that metal circle in the middle, what a waste of space, could have put an eye highlighter color or something in there, I’m not a fan of their blush. The packaging looks gorgeous on these. Can’t wait for your reviews and swatches, please do the eye shadow and lipsticks first. ?

Nancy T Avatar

Well, Tarte didn’t surprise me with their typical eyeshadow palette shades! However, I am extremely interested in this “Rain Forest Of The Sea” technology as it pertains to healthier skin and lips. This could be really good! And they have my Medium Honey foundation shade, woohoo, but they ought to have included ALL of their deeper foundation shades instead of only going a few deeper than mine. Still, I’m curious.

Grace Avatar

“Features 20% water to hydrate the skin”

If all my skin needed was water on it, I wouldn’t be buying products, I’d splash on some 100% water from my sink. I feel like they’re trying to get us to pay more for less.

Kat Avatar

Oh, I’m also glad they started printing the shadow names on the palette itself. I have the Rainforest After Dark palette and it drove me bonkers to have to keep the little plastic sheet in it, and I ended up losing it anyway.

Ellen Avatar

I was soo excited to hear about a new tarte palette, but the shades look so similar! I’m afraid there will be no contrast or way to build up dimension 🙁

Sara Avatar

That palette looks perfect for summer! I wonder how it compares to last year’s Tarte Showstopper and the Too Faced Naturals palettes — my summer stand-bys.

Lisa Avatar

I read in a review the Tarte concealer is VERY good, but the the SMELL is so awful that the reviewer questioned the wisdom of placing anything that foul smelling so close to their eyes. FYI.

Rachael Avatar

I’m loving that eyeshadow palette but without a really deep color I feel like they’ll all just run together. It doesn’t feel like it can completely stand alone. Looking forward to your reviews. 🙂

kellly Avatar

Oh my gosh, I can totally see myself buying that eye shadow pallet! I normally don’t consider pallets at all because generally there are colors that I just can’t see myself using, but I think that one is beautiful! Wow!!

Dua Avatar

The packaging is amazing .. I have my eyes on the highlight palette & the eyeshadows palette .. well .. it all depends on how they preform in the end.

Risa Avatar

The packaging is lovely. I’m eager to try the eyeliner. The only thing I want to know, though…

Rainforest… of the sea? I mean, I was crap at geology in school, but I feel like I may have missed a really important class…

I have jumped off the MAC wagon for the longest time. Years of not purchasing entire collections but seeing this Tarte one makes me wanna buy the MOST of the collection.

Echo Avatar

Tarte puts out such beautiful packaging each and every time. I am not so in love with the eyeshadow palette because I do not think there is a single unique shade. But the lipsticks and the water foundation are sure intriguing!

Vanessa Avatar

The packaging is very pretty and different but the lip products are all I’d be interested in. The eye palette looks nice, but very predictable and very Tarte. The rest looks like it will work well for those with dry skin, but not for mine (oily skin).

Cathy Avatar

The shadow palette looks beautiful; for the price I’ll definitely pick that up. Hopefully Sephora will give those of us who are VIB Rouge a heads-up when it’s available. Am very curious about the new foundation and concealer, but will have to test those in person. And OF COURSE I’ll need a lipstick or two 😉 It’s just so nice to see these summer collections when the weather is so atrocious, isn’t it?

Melissa Avatar

Omg the packaging is to die for ! I really hope this collection becomes available outside of the U.S.! Look at that lip rescue packaging! Gahh I hope these get bad reviews online so I don’t have to lust over them forever haha
