Tired of unicorns? The new Tarte Be A Mermaid & Make Waves Eyeshadow Palette ($42) might make you happy or not? Ok, well I’m not nearly as tired of mermaids as I am of unicorns so this could be a refreshing change. Although, if I am honest we’re beating a dead horse lately with mermaids and unicorns. Someone should create a nude palette inspired by a Satyr’s coat or something. Or an all green palette inspired by Medusa. Or maybe an eyeliner that evokes the spirit of a Sphinx. If we’re going to do mystical creatures we might as well get super creative here.

None the less the order of business for the last year has been mermaids and unicorns and unicorns and mermaids. Last year, Tarte launched their Make Believe in Yourself Eyeshadow Palette which was more about unicorns. This year the new Tarte Be a Mermaid & Make Waves Eyeshadow Palette is, obviously, inspired by mermaids. Someone crack that glass at Planet Hollywood, get down that tail, and let’s get these eyeshadows on our eyes and see how quickly we can become a mermaid.

Urban Decay Backtalk Eye & Face Palette has been the rounds on the Internet lately and everything is quite excited about it including me. Imagine that every lipstick shade you ever loved was created into an eyeshadow palette? That’s actually the idea behind Urban Decay Backtalk Eye & Face Palette! It was inspired by one of Urban Decay’s bestselling Vice Lipstick shades, Backtalk, which is a mauve-y nude pink.

People, I can think of any number of lipsticks I adore that I think should be made into an eyeshadow palette starting with the .99 cent Wet n Wild Cherry Frost shade. Seriously, I’d buy an eyeshadow palette inspired by the shade. All red and glamorous! My makeup world lacks too few red eyeshadow shades.

Anyway, that’s where Backtalk Eye & Face Palette takes us! Into the realms of a palette created and inspired by a rosy nude mauve. This 2-in-1 palette features eight eyeshadows and four coordinating shades of blush and highlighter in soft berries, dusky roses, and mauve nudes.
