Ever wanted to try a new brand of makeup but you weren’t sure what exactly to get? You could of course surf the web and see what we bloggers call the “Holy Grail” from that company or you can do like I did and just pick up a Holiday Palette. This year I decided to give Tarte a try and during Sephora’s V.I.B sale I picked up Tarte’s Carried Away Collectors Set and Adventure Bag. This set allowed me to try some of Tartes best products and for a great price!

Tarte’s Carried Away Collectors Set contains the following:

24 FULL Size Amazonian Clay eyeshadows

8 Maracuja Lip Glosses

1 Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush in adventurous (shimmering rose)

1 Blushing Beuaty domed blush brush

1 Light, camera, lashes! 4 in 1 Mascara

1 Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder

The eyeshadows are nicely pigmented, but using a primer can help bring out their full potential. The Maracuja lip glosses are to die for! Eight awesome shades, a mix of shimmers and creams that smell heavenly! I am in love with the Lights, Camera lashes 4-in-1 Mascara ,and the Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush is a gorgeous rode with a slight hint of shimmer. The Clay finishing powder is a great makeup setter that kept me oil free most of the day.

Tarte’s Carried Away Collectors Set and Adventurer Bag gets the Cosmetically-Challenged stamp of approval! This Tarte baby can be found at Sephora for $54
