Tarte Maracuja Juicy Eye & Cheek Palette Attempts Inclusivity

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

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Eye & Cheek Palette is a new Spring 2024 palette featuring 12 shades of Tarte Eyeshadows, 2 Tarte Cream Blushes, and 1 Cream Contour shade. This is a $52 dollar palette that resembles the Tarte Tartelette Juicy Eyeshadow Palette that launched for Spring 2021. Keep in mind that palette launched with for $45, contained twenty shades, and had a total of 0.80 oz of eyeshadow (0.04 oz per shade). This palette contains considerably less variety for a higher price! Not to mention many of the shades seem easily duped from the Tarte Tartelette Juicy Palette (aside from the blushes and contour obviously).

As per Tarte the palette has a mix of rosy, bronze, and neutral shades. They don’t list the size of each so we can’t compare what you’re getting to some of their past palettes but this feels a lot less for a lot more when you think about it.

There’s also attempting some odd inclusivity with this launch as there’s a version of the palette for both Fair to Medium Skin Tones (peaches and pinks) and Tan and Deep Skin Tones (reds and berries) but the only difference between the palettes are the blush and contour shades not the eyeshadows. It’s sort of weird they didn’t also, offer some deeper shades of eyeshadow to go along with the deeper palette as some of these shades might be a bit chalky looking on a deeper tone.

It’s a pretty selection of pinks! I enjoy a pink eyeshadow moment but I absolutely do not need this considering I have both the smaller and larger Juicy Palettes. I think the shades are very, very easy to duplicate any looks you can create using this Tarte Maracuja Juicy Eye & Cheek Palette with what I already have in the Juicy Palettes (remember the fun switch up they did when they relaunched that palette with fewer shades). Also, I’m being petty, but can we stop using “maracuja” for everything. It’s becoming the new buzz word for Tarte. First it was Shape Tape everything now it’s Maracuja everything.

Anyway, that’s my rant of the day! Apologies! Tarte Maracuja Juicy Eye & Cheek Palette is available now if this one tickles your fancy!

Bath and Body Works Refillable Hand Soap Dispensers Launch But Limit Your Scent Choices

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

Bath and Body Works Refillable Hand Soap Dispensers and Bottles for Gentle Foaming Hand Soap are now available in several designs online at bathandbodyworks.com! These new refillable bottles make it easy to buy your favorite Foaming Hand Soap in bulk. I don’t yet see any available for the Gel Hand Soap but perhaps those will be released later on. I personally prefer the foaming version anyway. These range in price from $18 to $20 each. I’m not sure if they are glass or not though! I should hope they are as it would be somewhat pointless to purchase a plastic bottle at this price point. It also doesn’t mention the size but they sort of look a smidge bigger than the standard 8 oz bottle but it’s hard to tell with this promo images. You can obviously refill these with any hand soap you want but Bath and Body Works has 32 oz refills for $13.95 but only in a few scents.

This may be a controversial opinion but I don’t really love this idea. I like grabbing up the seasonal hand soaps not only for the different fragrances but also, because I love the cute labels and like swapping them out for each holiday and season. Having these Bath and Body Works Refillable Hand Soap Dispensers limits my scent options and also, takes away the adorable labels I love so much!

I hope Bath and Body Works doesn’t get any weird ideals to do away with their hand soaps completely and replace them with this new design. I mean, that might be a good thing and prevent me from hoarding hand soap! But seriously, I hope they don’t do that. I can’t see myself setting for 32 ounces of the same scent! Blah!

Bath and Body Works Refillable Hand Soap Dispensers are available now!
