Make Believe in Yourself
I finally hopped on the unicorn train and I am so glad that I did! My neutral palettes needs to chill in my drawers for now because Spring season really opened up my heart on trying out colorful & shimmery eyeshadows.
The Tarte Make Believe in Yourself Eye & Cheek Palette is truly a head turner. This little stunner really captured my heart.
With all the colorful shades and the shimmers of this palette, Tarte really stepped up their game this time. I want it so bad but I’ll be honest with you guys it took me 2 weeks before I finally gave in and bought it when Tarte had a 30% off on their website.
The reason why I hesitated at first was : 1. I was afraid to get out of my comfort zone. As someone who loves matte and neutral shades, I had to think 10x before I purchase this because this palette only has ONE matte and the rest are shimmery shades. 2. ~ $40 was kind of steep for me for an eyeshadow palette that I’m not really sure if I’m going to love it or regret buying it. 3. There’s not much of a review on this palette yet. And from what I’ve watched and read, it’s either they love it or hate it. No in between. So I was kind of nervous purchasing it tbh. 4. I am trying to save money for my trip this summer so I really need to stop spending money on makeup right now. 😅
But dang it! After seeing LOTS of pictures of this palette on Instagram, I can’t shake it off from my head. Sigh 😧 thanks to Tarte’s 30% off I was able to get this for only $28.
Let’s get on the review. MAKE BELIEVE IN YOURSELF This is a unicorn theme palette 🦄. The packaging is obviously beautiful. I’ve always loved Tarte’s eyeshadow case/packaging. It’s sturdy and the gold case just makes it really look classy and high end looking. I also love the huge mirror on this palette. It has 9 shimmery shades, 1 matte & 1 highligter in the middle of the palette.
The setup of the shades are kind of look like their Rainforest of the Sea palette. When I opened up the palette, I was mesmerized. This is the kind of makeup that you don’t want to touch because it’s so gorgeous and you just want to stare and admire it’s beauty.
The retail price is $40 and right now it’s available at Ulta, Sephora, and from Tarte’s website. It is a limited edition so if you’re planning on getting this, now is a good time to buy it.💗
Now the formula of the eyeshadow is new to me.
The matte for me is wonderful. I love it and it’s buttery, very easy to blend and I thought it was a nice transition shade for your crease and it matches on every shimmer shades on this palette. The shimmer shades however was kind of a shock to me. 😂😅 I wasn’t sure on how to describe the texture of it. I wouldn’t say buttery but it’s smooth & it applies well when I am using my finger. However, my fluffy brush had a hard time picking up so I used my flat brush instead & that went okay. My first time applying this, my lids had a full on shimmer & glitter so I was like omg omg omg I put too much. 😂 My bad. LOL! It was funny because I look like I’ve been showered with pixie dust. 😂 I would say it’s very pigmented and there’s only a minimal fallout. This is completely new to me and I’m still playing with it. I am trying different techniques and I am having lots of fun with it. I am glad that I bought this because it’s such a fun makeup and the colors are really gorgeous. Would I recommend this to a friend? If you’re adventurous enough and you love the unicorn theme & the glitter life then I think this is for you. 🦄
