tarte Coral Crush Palette Review

Good morning! As soon as I saw the tarte Coral Crush Palette go live on Sephora’s website, I snapped it up. I KNEW I would love it, just the same way that I love the Aqualillies for tarte palette.

I love that the blush is a candy pink! I don’t own a tarte amazonian clay blush in this shade.

The eyeshadows have a wonderful, buttery texture.

My Shade Descriptions for the tarte Coral Crush Palette
Cocoa Cabana – deep neutral (leaning cool) brown
Tropical Suntan – caramel brown matte
Sandy Grey – caramel brown base with cool grey shimmer on top, sort of taupey, sort of pearly
Golden Getaway – beige with peach undertones and gold overtones, this is a great lid shade for opening up the eyes
Lilac Mist – lilac satin matte with tiny gold glimmers
Paradise Pink – palest iridescent pink shimmer, this has a glowy look to it that I like
Carefree – pretty candy pink shimmer

I happen to love the Champagne highlighter, so I’m happy to see it in this palette, too. With a light hand, I can make the bronzer work for me, too.

I created a video review as well, for those of you who prefer videos. If you like it please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel 🙂

Value
A typical tarte blush is .2 oz, and the one in this palette is .23 oz. A typical MAC eyeshadow is .05 oz, so with each of the eyeshadows in here at .04 oz, they’re just slightly under that in size, but where 6 MAC eyeshadows would cost you $72 (if you bought the refills), you’re getting slightly more than a full size blush, 6 nearly full size eyeshadows, and half sized bronzer and highlighter. So this is a fantastic value for the price in my opinion!

I love the packaging! From the cute little gold starfish to the circular shape, it’s adorable. It’s very compact, yet they really do manage to pack a lot of product into the palette.

Once again, I think tarte has outdone themselves with this palette. It’s a great value for the price. The eyeshadows are nicely pigmented, easy to use, and beautiful. You’ve got some workhorse shades paired with a few fun shades. I really love that it’s a candy pink blush, because I often feel like tarte palettes lean warm. It’s really great for travel since you’ve got just about everything you need to put together your makeup except foundation and a lippy. I think that those of you who loves neutrals will love this palette. I think if you prefer brights, like I typically do, you might like this as a change of pace. It won’t disappoint!

I’m really loving the tarte Coral Crush Palette and I hope they continue to make more of these palettes!

What are you lovin’ from tarte lately?
