Tarte Holiday 2018 Is Available And I Might Be Skipping It
Tarte Holiday 2018 arrived yesterday featuring a new Sweet Escape Collector’s Set and Eyeshadow Palette as well as other gifts sets and I’m probably skipping all of it. Gulp! Did I say that?
So, here’s the scoop. Tarte Holiday 2018 Collection has a theme this year and it appears to be Hawaii with flamingo shaped makeup brushes, pineapple palettes, and an entire array of Christmas in Maui deal going on. Cute but I’m not really feeling it oh so much? I’m a New Yorker who likes to rant about the weather. You see, you’ll meet complete strangers in Manhattan at a Starbucks and just starting talking about how boiling hot it is outside or how much snow is on the floor. Truly we love bitching about the weather in New York. But we also like living through each of the seasons no matter how much we complain. That’s why I’m not really into this collection. Summer is Summer, Winter is Winter, I’m not so into combing the two. I like snow and Christmas trees, and hot cocoa, and snowmen, I don’t want flamingos in my Holiday Collection.
However, that’s actually another story and not why I’m skipping Tarte Holiday 2018.
I’m skipping this collection because it’s just too much repetitiveness as well as bulky packaging on the Sweet Escape Collector’s Set. I have so many of Tarte’s palettes from past Holiday Collections like Home for the Holidaze Collector’s Set, Light of the Party Collector’s Makeup Case, Treasure Box Collector’s Set, etc…etc…I don’t see too much of a major difference in the Sweet Escape Collector’s Set that would warrant a purchase.
Another item is the Flushed & Fabulous Deluxe Amazonian Clay Blush Set which again I do feel inclined to slip because I have sets like Special Edition Holiday QVC Amazonian Clay Blush Set, At First Blush Set, etc…etc…it’s just the same thing over and over and the shades don’t appear super unique in the new set! And we also have the new Life of the Party Clay Blush Palette & Clutch that looks exactly like Tarte Pin Up Girl Amazonian Clay Blush Palette.
Tarte hasn’t updated their Holiday Collection in least five years now. Originally they were doing a Jewelry Box themed collection for a while which included releases like the The Starlet Makeup Vanity. But they now have reverted to doing mega sets which I don’t have a problem with! It’s a good deal of bang for your buck however, if you’re an older fan of the brand it does become very repetitive.
So, that’s why this year I might be skipping out….! But I will say that QVC, Ulta, Sephora, and Macy’s all get their own exclusive palettes and gift sets so we’ll have to see what pops up there that might change my mind!
Anyway, here’s what launched so far! Let me know if you plan on hauling any of it!
