Tarte Tres Chic Park Avenue Princess Contour Palette Review

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the packaging of this palette. I walked into Sephora the other day, with every intention to buy the NARS Virtual Domination Palette - $75 CAD. I swatched the colours of the NARS palette and I wasn't that impressed with it. However, I picked up the palette regardless and started walking around Sephora, until this beauty caught my eyes.

Tarte Tres Chic Park Avenue Princess Contour Palette - $41 CAD
This palette comes with Tarte's Amazonian clay matte waterproof bronzer in Park Ave Princess, Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in Posh (pale pink), and Amazonian clay highlighter in Champagne Gold.


The colour is a lot more pigmented in person. I wish I can show you the highlighter swatch a lot better but because of the colour of the highlighter it is not showing up on camera as well. The texture is very smooth and blendable.


The colour used in this palette is little light, so I recommend this palette to those with light to medium skin tones. I can't say it enough but the packaging is so beautiful. Some of you might find it tacky but I just love the colour of it. One thing that I don't like about the packaging is that you can leave fingerprints/residue all over the palette. With this palette, it is very easy to achieve the 'glowing' look that everyone seems to be reaching for nowadays. I also love how the bronzer is matte, so it's more natural looking when you are trying to contour your face.

The palette is at a reasonable price. You do get for what you pay for. The good thing about this palette is that you will probably end up using all three colours and none of it will go to waste. Sometimes in palettes you always reach for certain colours and the others go unloved. The palette is a reasonable size so you can simply fit into your makeup bag, purse, etc... with ease.

I applied this in the morning and went out all day. At the end of the night, the bronzer did disappear a little bit. The blush stayed on; however, be careful when applying the blush because it is very pigmented. The colour of the blush is also amazing as it looks very natural. The highlighter stayed on as well. I'm not that big of a fan of the highlighter because it is a little light but it's perfect for achieving the 'ohhh...I'm glowing look without looking like a Cullens".

Overall, the palette is a good buy.

Those who own the NARS Virtual Domination Palette, tell me what you think. Are you loving any other palettes recently?

Much love,
Cindy.
