Love It Or Leave It; Review 2.0: Tarte Grav3yardgirl Swamp Queen Palette

Hello folksickles. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eyeshadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eyeshadow junkie. In order to de-clutter a bit  I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eyeshadows for the month and have that be my monthly selection for those instances where I'm not doing a tutorial for the blog. Every month I'll do a recap on the eyeshadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them or giving them away (and why :P) as well as if I think it's worth its price tag.

Here are the looks I created this month:


















































So as you can see I created a bunch of neutral, smokey, and every-day looks using this palette. I have been using the Decide Now! app and playing "Palette Roulette" as inspired by xsparkage and it's been so much fun and takes the guesswork out of figuring out which colors to use every day. I just roll 5 shades and work with them for the most part - sometimes I'll add a blending shade or highlight as necessary. As you can see, I've used this palette A LOT (it was my August palette), more so than many of the other ones in this series and as you may have seen in my Departures post, I will be passing it along. Now, the quality of the palette is fantastic and as you see the shades blend beautifully and create a variety of looks. That said, I just don't feel very inspired with this palette and although the looks differ from one to the next I found that overall the looks I achieved appear very similar to one another. :/

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Disclaimer:  I purchased this palette myself.
