Tarte Sweet Indulgences Holiday Gift Set

Tarte Sweet Indulgences Holiday Gift Set ($59.94 for 2.60 oz.) is a three-piece set, where there are three, slim square boxes that are designed to be given as gifts. You can keep them all for yourself, break the set up, or gift the entire thing. One box contains two blushes and three lip colors, another with three eyeliners and two mascaras, and a third with two eyeshadow palletes (eight shades in each). The set will be the TSV tomorrow, November 10th, on QVC for $59.97 (compared to $72.50 that it is listed at presently). My review will be up tomorrow morning 🙂 For now, I hope you enjoy these swatches!

Love the packaging, but the rest…one of the blushes and the eyeliners look very meh in quality. The eyeshadows are very “typical” Tarte so I’d imagine that a Tarte fan is already going to have those shades or something very, very similar. The lip cremes look like the best thing here, but you’d probably be better off buying them separate!

I would love this set as a gift — I don’t have anything from Tarte nor do I typically seek them out on my own, but the set just looks delicious. Waiting for the review before I’m placing it on any kind of wish lists though 😀

Thank you so much for posting this Christine! Since it is supposed to be QVC’s TSV tonight, your sneak peek is very timely. It will really help me decide if I want to get it, or not. It looks like it has some hits (Lipsurgence Lip Cream, many eyeshadows) and misses (the lighter blush, the lipgloss, and eyeliners especially the charcoal – ouch!) as to performance, but is overwhelmingly warm toned too, so I’ll probably pass. It certainly is a fantastic value though!

For me, the problem is the colour pairings/groupings. The cooler toned/pink lip products are great for me but the warmer ones are useless and I think this might be the case for a lot of women – they look better in/prefer berry OR peach; cool OR warm, rather than both. So as gifts or for myself, that is the issue. I’d rather just purchase a blush or lip product in a colour that suits me. I do like the look of the eyeshadows (ha – big surprise) but I don’t really MORE eyeshadows and, except for the Tarte Aqualilies palette, I don’t know how good or poor the quality of their shadows are.

It does mention this set is perfect for splitting up into multiple gifts, and generally sets have both cool and warm toned offerings to appease the masses. I am also a woman who wears just about anything cool or warm, so I know there are women out there who would wear Berry and Peach! This set seems ideal to me to split up into two offerings: things that go with the more plum palette and things that coordinate with the more neutral palette, with a couple things leftover for the buyer of the set! It’s rather clever!

The problem, though, is that you’d have to split up the packaged groupings (rather than giving one pretty box to one friend, another box to another friend, the 3rd to a sister, for example) and take the items out of their nice little “nests”. I think that would defeat the whole purpose of the nice packaging and leave me having to repackage everything just so it doesn’t look chintzy or like I’ve taken some of the products for another purpose…. For those who can wear both warm and cool lip or cheek shades, though, this would indeed be very nice.

I have the Bow & Go set from last year which I love, but it’s so similar. Wish they would do a more colorful eyeshadow palette again. I missed out on the brighter one that they did for the holidays a couple years back 🙁

Wow! What a huge set for only $60. Definitely a must buy for me. I have always liked tartes holiday sets you get a lot of product for such a bargain. I still have both bow n go sets from last year, one not touched. Its more makeup than you can use in a year. The quality and pigmentation of the shadows & blushes are incredible, you don’t need much for incredible results. I really like the fact that I’m using natural ingredients on my face. Skin preservation is a priority at my age!
I have all of this years sets so i have to get this to complete the collection 🙂 sounds like a good excuse.

holy crap your quick, lol.. I just saw this today in my email. This looks like a really nice gift set for the holidays and the eyeshadow colors look good too. I always see good review for Tarte & there are a few products like some of the blushes and eyeshadow palettes they come out with that I really like but I can’t quite put my finger on it (maybe the packaging, color or presentation) but I never get that I have to grab that feeling from them, like l do when I see other products so I always forget or grab something else I wanted more.

I’m really trying to resist this one. The eyeliners and the weakly-pigmented blush make me hesitate, but the rest of the products and the insane value make it too hard to pass it up. I was planning on getting my holiday haul from Sephora with the VIB sale- UD Naked Basics, a Tarte blush, a UD liner or 2, and some lippies (2/3 Tarte). If I get this kit, I save $50 and get more products. I’ll probably still get my UD liners from Sephora, maybe in the Ten Set. Thanks for the amazing swatches as usual 🙂
