Rainforest Of The Sea Foil Finger Paints Shadow Palette

I received this pallet as a gift, and I love it! Colors are super pigmented, and its so easy to apply with your fingers. It blends really nicely too. It stays on through my whole work day if I use a primer, but does start to crease at around 10 hours of wear, but it’s easy to touch up for the evenings. The glitter toppers are fun too! 

This palette is so much more incredible than I thought it was going to be! I’m not the biggest fan of Tarte eyeshadows in general- they’re not as pigmented as I like and don’t last very long on me. These foil shadows are completely different. This formula is so easy to work with and does not budge or crease. From the description I was expecting the consistency to be similar to the ColourPop SSS but it is quite different. It feels more like a powder shadow than an SSS but is also better in terms of color payoff and isn’t patchy. I also find that I don’t feel the need to set these shadows as I do with the SSS. The glitter topper shades are gritty to the touch but apply well and fallout is minimal compared to what you would expect from a glitter shadow. It’s nice that the toppers can shift the three shades from what they are and make them warmer or cooler.I’ve swatched the three shadows three times in a row. The first is the shadow on its own, the second swatch is with the lighter glitter topper and the third is with the darker glitter topper. One picture is in natural light and the other is in artificial light.Obviously they are all shimmer/glitter shades and if you want to create a look including mattes then you’d have to pull in another palette. That’s not a deal breaker for me, I have tons of other mattes I can use in conjunction with this. If you are looking to buy this palette as your primary palette with no other matte shades in your collection then that’s something to consider. Gold Coast and Sea Glass go on so much more vibrant than I was expecting them to be. Very beautiful, but would be tricky to pull off a one shadow and done look during the day.One last thing I want to mention is that the pictures do not do the packaging justice! The cover is encrusted with turquoise, sparkly diamond shaped rhinestones and micro beads. « less

THE HOLY GRAIL OF GLITTERY MAGIC EYESHADOW.If you are looking for a subtle look, look elsewhere, because this palette will make you look like a majestic mermaid queen! The colors are super pigmented and easy to apply with no fallout, which is a H U G E plus for glitter shadows! They are long lasting and I never end up with buildup in my crease. The cute packaging is just another plus.SO worth the money!

This is the absolute best eye shadow I have ever used. Texture is a cream but not heavy, goes on very very pigmented and foiled in color. Gold coast is a gorgeous lighter brown foiled color bronze and then sea glass is a darker version a dark brown with gorgeous shimmer. Stranger has one side clear with light shimmer and pretty specs of glitter and the other what I would call light blue-silverish. The Sailors delight is a burgundy brown color that is very pretty and looks great when trying to pull off a monochromatic look with red lips. The colors are all very pretty, pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with. I have dry light skin the colors stayed during a full work day there was some fall out but nothing to write home about or worth knocking the product down for...Nothing is perfect. I honestly bought this for the gorgeous packaging. Did not expect to love the product as much as I do. So happy with purchase and I cant see anyone regretting purchasing this. « less

Amazing packaging, but the product does not live up to it. The consistency of the shadows is mushy, so it requires finesse to get just enough product from the pan. Three shades have good pigment, but both Stargazer shades do not. All of them are essentially just loose glitter once the pigment fades. Depending on how careful I was when applying, the pigment either did not show up, disappeared when blending, or was too thick and therefore creased heavily. It did come off when I removed my makeup, but in that case I had to spend extra time trying to get the glitter off of my face, hands, etc. I know that comes with the territory when using & removing glittery products, but this is a worse offender than most glittery products I've used.
