Such a disappointment.

I was so excited to try this mascara. My Urban Decay Big Fatty Waterproof had just broken (what a MESS), and I needed a replacement. This was the goopiest, wettest mascara I've ever used. If I got it anywhere on my skin, my makeup look was ruined for the whole day. Since it takes forever to dry, it turned into a time waster rather than a time saver. Eventually, it started to dry out a bit and became somewhat usable, but I know that I'm not going to go out and repurchase. A mascara shouldn't need to "mature" to be good.

I was so disappointed with this. The matte colors are so pale, with or without a primer. The shimmery shadows are like a glitter-bomb for your eye, with fall out galore. The lip colors are gorgeous, but impractical for touch ups. The bronzer is too dark for my skin, and the highlight is also just straight up glitter. I really wanted to love this, but the only thing I loved was the detachable necklace.

I'm not actually sure how I lived without this palate. All of the shades are gorgeous, though the Gunmetal kind of freaked me out in pictures online. (I thought it was a blue.) I was a bit disappointed that they stopped including the double-ended 24/7 eyeliner, but the brush they traded it for is actually pretty nice. My only regret is that I bought the Tarte Jewelry Box first!
