Tarte cosmetics has put out a great makeup kit an palette for True Blood, available exclusively at Sephora. The Tarte True Blood Glamour Me Set includes 17 eye shadows, a natural eye primer, a full size emphaEyes soft eyeliner, and a sample size of Tarte Lights, Camera, Action mascara. I purchased a True Blood Palette to review and swatch, and am rather glad that I did! There are some very nice and very practical shades in the set. Tarte also has a limited edition cheek stain and lip tint to match the set. I adore the lip tint, and you can see a swatch of it here on Girl Gloss: Tarte TrueBlood Lip Tint Swatch.
Below are Tarte True Blood Swatches of all 17 shades. They are in the same order as seen in the rows in the photo above (alternating rows of three shades and four shades). The eye shadows have good pigment to them, and the more vibrant shades have a very nice pure color to them, which was good to see. They are a bit on the soft side, which is fine by me, but I sometimes see others complain about that characteristic. I didn’t feel that they were so soft that they were difficult to control, and I like being able to blend pretty well. A nice bonus to this kit is that the shades are very versatile. I can wear all of these, and I suspect that will be true for many other people across many different skin tones.
From left to right are swatches of the following shades: The Light, Fairy, and Dark.
Swatches of Dawn, Werewolf, Waitress, and Nocturnal
Charmer, Glamour Me, and Stake
Bayou, Telepath, The True Death, and Immortal
Swatches of Moss, Legend, and “V” (I particularly love these three shades)
Here are swatches of the TrueBlood primer and eyeliner. The primer works quite well and the liner is very soft and easy to apply. The included mascara is also quite nice. It gives good definition and length, plus I got some curl out it.
Here are a few views of the case. It is a pretty good size and the eye shadows are also of decent size. The case includes a mirror and a drawer for the primer, liner, and mascara.
The kit also comes with an instruction card for creating a few looks:
This is a limited edition collection that I suspect will be rather popular. It already is getting rave reviews on the sales page. So if you think you want it, get it before it disappears!
Buy the Tarte TrueBlood Glamour Me Makeup Set
can you tell me if this is made in China? I really want this palette, but I personally try to avoid things made in China.
The box says that the mascara is made in Italy, the primer and eyeliner in the US, and the eye shadow and box in China.
Thanks for the swatches! A lot of bloggers haven’t swatched them!
I have my on the way. I love the shadows!
Thanks!
Thanks Paige! I think you will really like the collection. The shades are great and really versatile. You can get a ton of great looks out of it.
I really want to get my hands on this collection but I won’t be in the US until July 26. I am soooo worried it will be sold out.
If it helps Kimmi, I just saw that Ulta is going to have it in stores starting 7/17. With that late of a release date for the stores, I bet you will be able to get one just fine.
