I was anticipating the arrival of this palette, not only because its a Tarte palette with 17 gorgeous colors but its TRUE BLOOD Limited Edition! The quality of the packaging is great, the only downfall (on my end) is when i received it one of my eye shadows was cracked in a few places. I managed to put it together in one piece by smashing it gently in place with my finger.
Inside is a mirror and a pull out (similar to Urban Decay Book of Shadows) with Tarte for True Blood Lifted Natural Eye Primer with Firmitol, Tarte for True Blood EmphasEYES aqua-gel liner in Black and Tarte for True Blood Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara.
It actually took me a few seconds to figure out how to open it since it has the same appearance as the Urban Decay Book of Shadows. To make it easier on people, the top part is magnetized so just lift that part up and viola!
Above is the open palette of shadows with names.
Shadows right to left: The light, Dawn, Bayou, Moss, Werewolf, Charmer, Telepath, Fairy, Glamour Me, and Legend
Cont. from right to left: Dusk (very faint on my skin), Waitress, The True Death, "V", Nocturnal, Stake and Immortal
This palette also comes with 4 different looks created from
the lead makeup artist Brigitte Ellis that you can try for
a night out with your special vamp...haha :)
