Tarte 8th World Wonder: 2nd Edition!

Hi ladies! I actually experience something pretty horrific this morning. I woke up gently without an alarm, laid still for awhile enjoying the Sunday b  l    i      s         s .   .   . oh wait, it’s MONDAY. Total buzz kill! But, never fear! I have decided to share with you a piece of joy to get you over the Monday blues, and yes, it’s from tarte.

My 2nd piece of 8th World Wonder pie.

The only thing not pictured here is the mascara, which is actually very nice indeed. I have already reviewed the foundation before, and you can see that review here. I also love that they included a different bag this time. Which is convenient since I am still using the bag that came last time and this has made a nice change of pace.

I am glad they included a different brush too, but to be honest I wouldn’t have cared if they included another of those amazing foundation brushes which I have been using for months now. This brush is soft and works well with the clay blushes. I love the bamboo handle.

L-R: Tickled Blush, Pink Grapefruit gloss, Rich Green liner

It goes without saying that I love that blush and love the shade. You can see it swatched with all of the other shades of the clay blush that I own here. It looked more red when compared to the peachy-pink blushes but on it’s own it’s more of a watermelon pink and extremely flattering. The gloss shade isn’t anything special, but I do enjoy the formula, even if it’s a bit sticky. The liner is an absolute standout. I LOVE that shade. It works great with my brown eyes, but I envision it would be stunning on everyone. It lasts all day on me, no smudging.

2nd Eyeshadow palette

L-R: Matte Softest peach, Shimmering Olive, Shimmering Gold, Matte Espresso

First, a note of contention. I do not believe the name “Matte softest peach” is appropriate because, as you can see it is most certainly not matte. I didn’t name it, and it’s not a typo on my part. Regardless, this palette is stunning. Not just perfect for fall, but a great palette all year for me. The warmth of this palette immediately drew me in. I don’t have a favorite shade here because they are all equally and inseparably wonderful in formula and pigmentation.

I wish this set were still available for purchase as it’s such a great value for around $50. Everything is full size and I wasn’t disappointed with a thing. I can’t wait for the next set coming this fall, which you can take a peak at here. I wish they had more sets coming, because I don’t want this fun to end! Have any of you ordered a tarte set from QVC? Glow Your Way to Gorgeous is another great one, and guess who has a review coming about that one as well?
