New Gift Sets / Palettes From Tarte

I've been trying to post this latest post all week, but unfortunately the network at school blocks a lot of things and for some reason it does not allow blogs to post or even save. It's crazyness, I know. Anyhoo, have you girls been to Sephora lately??? If not, you should take a gander at Sephora.com and look at all of the new gift sets and palettes they are starting to introduce from all of your favorite beauty lines. I love this time of year because the Christmas gift sets start making their way to the stores. Everyone knows that I love these sets because they are usually available at an extreme value. Over the coming days I am going to do my best to post about some of the gift sets that have caught my eye. First, let's see what Tarte has to offer.

Let me just tell you, everytime Tarte comes out with a new set or palette I think it is absolutely the best they have ever offered and there is no way it is going to be topped. Well Tarte has done it again with their We Wish You Wealth Palette. When I first saw this palette, I literally let out a gasp. Packed with 16 brand new eye shadows, 16 brand new lip glosses, 4 gel eyeliners, 4 cheekstains, 3 24/7 lipsheers, eye primer, luminzer, and eyeshadow and eyelining brushes, this palette has got everything you could ever need. Of course, that still won't stop me from buying even more make-up!

The shadows and glosses cover such a wide range of shades that you will always have the perfect shade to suit your mood at your fingertips. The thing that makes this palette better than any other that Tarte has ever offered is that it includes cheekstains! This is the first time ever that the cheekstains have been offered in pan form. It will be so nice to just grab this baby and go as opposed to having to also grab a separate cheekstain. Oh, I almost forget the part that made me gasp. This kit is a $560 value and is priced at only $52. I am so glad that I didn't have time to pick up the Pret-A-Porter palette because I love this one so much more.

Moving on, We Wish You Happiness is Tarte's latest Cheekstain gift set and boy does it bring me happiness. This set features 3 new, limited edition shades (Enchanted, Merry, and Delighted) packed in a cute bag. I am really liking how Tarte is starting to offer new shades of cheekstains in their kits. For awhile there they seemed to only be offering Blushing Bride in almost everyone of their kits that contained a cheekstaind and while I do love Blushing Bride I really do not need 30 of them. Notice, I still purchased them knowing full well I didn't need them. Yes, I do have a problem and I acknowledge that I need help. I now feel so much better forking money over for something I really don't need (but really do want) knowing that I'm getting shades that I can't get anywhere else. The only bad thing is when you fall in love with a shade and can't get more of once you run out. At $30, this makes a great gift for any friend.

Lastly, We Wish You Health Skinvigorating Discovery Kit is a limited edition discovery kit. With this one you'll get discovery sized versions of Clean Slate Face Primer, Lock and Roll eye shadow, Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara, and Inside Out lip gloss. While I do love the Inside Out lip gloss and am thinking about forming a cult to celebrate Lights, Camera, Lashes!, I do believe that this set is the most lackluster of the group. I suppose it's good if you were wanting to try Tarte, but then again, it doesn't even have Tarte's best item...the Cheekstain. At $38 (with a $50 value) it also doesn't really seem like that great of a deal either.

To sum it up, I absolutely love We Wish You Wealth and We Wish You Happiness. Not a fan of We Wish You Health, but I also wouldn't turn it down if someone gave it to me as a gift. All three of these sets are limited editions and thus run the risk of selling out.
