Tarteist PRO Remix

Tarte Tarteist PRO Remix PRO Palette ($53.00 for 0.70 oz.) is for those who love metallics--it's full of shimmer and color with three matte shades and the rest pretty much chocked full of shimmer. I'd consider it more of a complementary palette than a typical standalone palette (but that really depends on your need for mattes in a look). I loved all three looks that I created using just this palette alone, but they are shimmer-heavy, which I know is not everyone's cup of tea. There are two matte shades--Wall Art and Mixed Media--that I don't feel are necessary in such a shimmer/color heavy palette; the inclusion of a matte black worked particularly well to deepen other shades and really enhanced the color scheme. The inclusion of the other two mattes, though, seemed to take up space that could have gone to other pops of color, like a coral, mid-tone purple, or mid-tone, warmer green. The formula used in the shimmers reminded me a lot of the Tarteist Metallic line (but the shimmers in this palette are softer). Also, the palette smelled like vanilla for those who are more sensitive to scents.
