Tarte - Rainforest of the sea palette

So as you would have seen from my post below, I got this little beauty for Christmas and I said I would do a little review for you all!
I’m a big fan of the tarte products I have tried in the past (foundation, mascara, their face brush, bronzer) but their goodies can be hard to get your hands on from the UK or cost a small fortune on the shipping, especially if it’s just for one or two items but I know you can buy their products from sites like QVC where you can get bundle deals without the high shipping costs – if you know of any other sites, help a girl out! I know that santa ( AKA my mum and dad) ordered this from America.

So this palette is stunning, the packaging was so pretty, it is circular shape which is easy to hold and has a cute little design on it. Inside the palette, there are 8 shades - mostly neutral tones with some warmer, some cooler-toned shades. For me, these colours suit exactly what I look for in a palette, I tend to stick to brown and gold shades so I was in love right away. These eyeshadows are really creamy and I found them so easy to blend into one another, tarte describe them as “cream powder” eyeshadows which I would agree with.

The shades are follows:
Seashell - A light-medium, pinky-peach shade with some warm undertones
Wave – A light to medium grey taupe with subtle, cooler undertones
Abyss – A brown with warm undertones and a slight shimmer
Reef - A medium, bronze shade with warm undertones and a gorgeous pear shimmery finish -One of my favourites
Starfish – A light-medium, golden brown with warm undertones with a shimmery finish - One of my favourites
Cove - A light-medium beige shade with warm undertones
Sand – A light almost yellow toned shade with warm undertones
Mermaid – A medium goldy shade with brown undertones and again, that shimmery finish – One of my favourites
The eyeshadows are easy to blend and build up, I find the lighter shades are excellent for using as transitions shade to get that seamless, blended look we all want. I’ve been using the palette with an old Avon eye primer I found from a wee while ago and this just helps keep the shadows in place, makes the colours pop and of course, keep it looking good all night.  
All in all, a really nice palette and the shades suit me to a T. Worth the money? I’d say so considering there are 8 different shades to choose from and plus, the packaging is just gorgeous.
I’m going to look to do some different looks using this palette to show you all so keep an eye out for these! I’m going to dedicate more time to my blog because recently, I feel like I haven’t been doing as many product reviews and looks as I would like but thank you for anyone who takes the time out to follow and read my posts, I really do appreciate it!
If you know any Tarte stockists in the UK, let me know and if you’ve tried this palette, what’s your thoughts?
Are there any Tarte products out there I’m missing out on and I should buy?! Let me know!
