Tarte make magic happen palette

For Fall 2017, Tarte has released quite a handful of gorgeous mini eyeshadow palettes and I've been testing out a couple of them for the past few days. So today, I want to share with you some swatches and my review of the Dream Big and the Make Magic Happen Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette. To read on, click.

Tarte | Dream Big Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette ($39 CAD):
Housed in a small, travel-friendly compact with a reflective golden finish, the Dream Big palette comes with a total of eight eyeshadow shades, two at 1.8g and six at 1.1g. The overall color scheme is natural but still quite rich and exuberant. You get two mattes and the rest are shimmers/metallics.

Formulation-wise, the palette is really impressive! All the shades are very pigmented, easy-to-build, and highly blendable. The shadows also have a very yummy, sweet, vanilla fragrance, which took me by surprise. I personally think the shade selection is very versatile and easy to combine, although I would have liked a lighter highlighting shade. See below for a breakdown of all eight shades.

This Is It: A deep rose gold shimmer, This Is It is super pigmented and creamy.
All In: My favorite out of the palette, All In is a stunning coppery rose metallic. The pigmentation is off the charts and the texture is just so rich and creamy.
Go For It: When I saw this soft matte brown in the palette, I was expecting it to be very chalky and uneven. However, Go For It is surprisingly pigmented albeit slightly drier than the other shades. The color also wears a bit deeper than it appears in the pan, taking on a darker brown hue.

You Can: A cool-tone sparkly gold, You Can is pigmented and creamy.
Happening: A unique pink-plum shimmer, Happening is another very intense and buttery shade.
Hustle: Appearing as a dark brown with pink and golden micro-shimmers in the pan, Hustle swatches a lot darker than expected. The formulation is not as creamy but the pigmentation is very good!

Ambitious: The staple base color, Ambitious is a soft beige cream. The pigmentation is fantastic and the texture is creamy and non-chalky.
Risktaker: A high-shine pink champagne, Risktaker is super pigmented and buttery smooth.

Below is a look I created using the palette. As you can see, the pigmentation of the shadows is just amazing! I think I may have got a little carried away and used one too many colors but the shadows are just so gorgeous that I wanted to use them all!

Housed in a golden compact that's similar but larger than the Dream Big palette, the Make Magic Happen Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette features nine eyeshadow shades weighing at 1.3g each. It's interesting to note that this palette is made in Italy while the Dream Big palette is made in the US.

Inside the palette, you get a total of four mattes and five satin shimmers. The overall formulation is superb, the shadows have a rich, creamy texture that reminds me a lot of the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Palettes (Vol. I & Vol. II). The color selection here is quite neutral and I love how the palette includes every shade you need to create a full eye makeup look. See below for a breakdown of all the shades.

Imagine: A soft creamy ivory, Imagine is matte but smooth and pigmented. This is the perfect natural highlight shade in my opinion.
Abracadabra: A warm coppery bronze, Abracadabra is super pigmented and buttery smooth.
Charm: This is a sparkly dusty pink. The pigmentation is on the sheerer side but the color gives the lids a really pretty wash of shimmer.

Twinkle Twinkle: A simple shimmery gold, Twinkle Twinkle is very pigmented and creamy.
Enchantment: This is a soft pink beige matte that works perfectly as an all-over-the-lid color. Similar to Imagine, the shadow is pigmented and smooth despite being matte.
Believe It: A sophisticated taupe-gray matte, Believe It is slightly sheer but easy to blend.

Impress: This is a deep chocolate brown with a subtle sprinkling of tiny golden sparkles. The formulation is very pigmented albeit a tad patchy.
Fantasy: This is a pretty champagne gold. Similar to Abracadabra, the formulation is extremely pigmented and creamy.
Miracles: A soft matte plum, Miracles is slightly patchy but highly blendable.

Overall, these are two fantastic mini palettes from Tarte. I feel like we are constantly inundated with large, 12 to 20 shade palettes so it's actually quite refreshing to see something purse-friendly that contain all the shades you would need to create a full eye makeup look. In terms of formulation, these shadows are phenomenal as well! I think Tarte palettes have been kind of hit and miss for me but the shadows in these two are pigmented and silky smooth.

Make Magic Happen Tarte Cosmetics Palette Review

When it comes to my make-up routine I like to keep it as natural and as minimalistic as possible! Firstly, I just don’t have more than 5 minutes to spend on my face daily and secondly I don’t particularly like the full on make-up look… unless it’s for a night out (wait, what’s a night out again… it’s been too long!!)

Now, in my make-up bag I have my main pick of make up products, i have separated these from my full collection, easily grabbed especially when I’m still half asleep in the morning!!

What I have learnt to love over the years is a great ‘all rounder’ color palette! My friend gifted me Tartes ‘make magic happen’ natural palette and I have no idea why I haven’t featured it before but I use it A L L the time!

• imagine (ivory matte)
• abracadabra (copper shimmer)
• charm (pink shimmer)
• twinkle twinkle (gold shimmer)
• enchantment (pale pink matte)
• believe it (greige matte)
• impress (slate satin)
• fantasy (rose gold shimmer)
• miracles (plum matte)

The formula is an interesting one…it feels softer and more velvety than Tarte’s regular formula. The shades pick up easily with a finger and when I first swatched them I thought they looked very pigmented and intense. Easily blended with a brush.

However, when I use a brush, I find that these go on more sheer, even over primer. The silky smooth texture blends beautifully and seamlessly on the eyes, which is awesome but the effect is much more subtle and natural. Even the deepest shades in the palette such as the plum and slate colors sheer out on your eyes to give you a softer version of what they look like in the pan. I don’t typically use the deeper shades in a palette all that often but in this case, I do.

To get a bit more impact, I recommend applying them with my finger and then blending them out lightly with a brush.

These are my go-to everyday shadows… all in one!!

Reviews for "Unleashing the Power of Practical Magic with the Inner Witch Oracle"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Practical Magic Inner Witch Oracle. The cards were flimsy and poorly made. The artwork looked amateurish and lacked the depth and beauty I was expecting. Additionally, the guidebook that comes with the deck was vague and didn't provide enough information or insight into the meanings of the cards. Overall, this oracle deck felt like a cheap cash-grab and didn't meet my expectations at all.

2. Emily - 1 star - I found the Practical Magic Inner Witch Oracle to be completely underwhelming. The artwork on the cards was uninspiring and lacked creativity. The messages conveyed by the cards were shallow and generic, lacking any depth or unique insight. I felt like I could have easily found more insightful and meaningful guidance by simply using a regular deck of playing cards. I would not recommend this oracle deck to anyone looking for a deep and enriching spiritual experience.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Practical Magic Inner Witch Oracle was a letdown for me. The cards were smaller than I expected, making it difficult to fully appreciate the artwork and details. Additionally, the cardstock quality was poor, causing the cards to bend and wear out quickly. The guidebook was also lacking, providing only basic interpretations without any real depth or guidance. Overall, this oracle deck felt cheap and poorly produced, and I regret purchasing it.
