Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Sizzle Eyeshadow Palette for Summer 2018

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Sizzle Eyeshadow Palette, Shape Tape Setting Tape, Rainforest of the Sea Quench Hydrating Primer are just a few new Summer 2018 offerings arriving today on Tarte’s website.

I’m quite a fan of the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow formula and I have Volume 1, 2, and 3 and have put them to some good use. The shadows are a gel powder texture that’s very easy to blend and I consider it one of Tarte’s best formulas so I’m looking forward to trying the Sizzle version but I’m a little concerned the shades are a bit too light for me. We’ll see though because Tarte’s promotional images are way off as they’ve proven with the Aspyn Ovard Eye & Cheek Palette and recent Love, Trust & Fairy Dust Eye & Cheek Palette.

The Stila Vivid & Vibrant Fall 2018 Collection arrives today as an individual purchase featuring six new shades of Shimmer & Glow Eyeshadow shades that I must own (promo code INNERCIRCLE scores you 20% Off your total at stilacosmetics.com should you wish to buy any of these items today!). As you know last week Stila launched a vault that included their entire Fall 2018 Collection and I was every so close to purchasing it. I’m glad I waited as last night they launched the collection as individual pieces and I’m hungry to own a lot of these items just not all as they were originally presented. I’m so happy I waited because today it launched at ulta.com!

I hope that the Vivid & Vibrant Fall 2018 Collection is a prelude of things to come this Fall. Perhaps we’re finally out of the natural, nude shade stage and heading into beautiful rich jewel tones for autumn. That’d be very fitting for the season wouldn’t they!? And they sure would work for Holiday and Winter looks as well.

Stila’s newest collection does contain one brown shade but the rest of beautiful shades of emerald, purple, and green.

Here’s a look!
