Review: Tarte Pin Up Girl Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush Palette! (Holiday 2014!)

#Blush-hoarder ;-)

Tarte Pin Up Girl Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush Palette! (Holiday 2014!)
Last Holiday season I completely missed out on the Tarte blush palette so when it launched this year I didn't hesitate to order it haha. I was pretty excited once it released on sephora.com plus... I didn't spend a dime on it! I used my card rewards for the purchase and decided to give myself an early Christmas gift ;-) The Tarte Pin Up Girl Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush Palette retails for $42 which is a bit pricey but it's a great value! Tarte blushes retail for $26 each while this palette comes with five brand new shades for $42 (less than two Tarte blushes purchased separately!) I highly recommend you get this palette if you love Tarte blushes (like I do!) because you're getting more bang for your buck! Lets start off with packaging:

The packaging is gorgeous! It's a clutch style palette which makes it perfect for travel. It also comes with two hair pins which are super pretty, definitely stands out on my brown hair. It feels nice and looks more expensive than what it is!

Look how stunning that clasp is?! Love it!

My only con is that the blush names are not engraved in the actual palette. Tarte included a clear slip with the names which we all know I will probably lose it by next week haha. Other than that this palette is amazing!

All the blush colors would be suitable for a variety of skin tones which is awesome. The formula is just as great as their single blushes and... when they say 12-hour wear it's no joke! They last all day and blend like a dream. Here are the swatches:

*Breathless- a pink beige, great neutral color and perfect for everyday wear.
*Embraced- a plumy rose... gorgeous! This is my favorite color. It leaves a beautiful sheen to your cheeks, just perfect for that flushed look that we all look for this time of year.
*Whimsy- a light pink, nice color for that "doll-face" look!
*Bashful- a rosy peach, great spring-summer color.
*Irreplaceable- a mauve rose, another great fall color.

Bottom line: This palette is worth every penny! It's a great way to try out more colors if you're a fan of their blushes. Tarte Exposed is my most worn blush so I knew the formula was great to begin with. The palette is consistent across the board and these colors are perfect to wear year round. Let's not forget about how convenient it is to have all these colors in one cute palette. I love it and would recommend it in a heartbeat! :-)
