Tarte Big Ego Eyeshadow Palette ($49) is new cool-tone 18 pan eyeshadow palette that is part of Tarte’s Summer 2023 releases. This is a “new” range of cooler-toned shades in glitte, matte, and satin finishes.

Shades include:

• Courageous (matte cream)
• Unstoppable (peach champagne shimmer)
• Brave (matte rosy tan)
• Visionary (light pink shimmer)
• Worthy (matte mauve)
• Daring (rose shimmer)
• Ambitious (matte taupe)
• Impact (bronze shimmer)
• Outspoken (cool bronze sheen)
• Authentic (matte light brown)
• Unbreakable (matte brown)
• Own It (matte charcoal)
• Unique (cinnamon glitter topper)
• Achieve (lavender duochrome)
• Power Move (grape sheen)
• Bold (indigo blue shimmer)
• Determined (black with floating glitter)
• Speak Up (silver glitter topper)

Sorry, I’m not a cool-toned eyeshadow type of girl. I’ll readily admit there aren’t nearly enough cool-toned palettes on the market but this one is a bit boring. I dunno if it’s something you absolutely need. The good news is it isn’t a re-run of the normal Tarte eyeshadow shades but on that note I feel like these are shades we likely own in some other Tarte palette because if we’re being honest Tarte has really ran hard with the whole monster eyeshadow palette thing to the point its become quite tired.

But hey, if you’re feel it the Tarte Big Ego Eyeshadow Palette is available now for $49 on Tarte’s website.

Charlotte Tilbury Pinkgasm Sunset Beauty Light Wand is a new shade added to the permanent line of Beauty Light Wand shades for Summer 2023. This new shade is exclusively available on Charlotte’s website but I imagine at some point it’ll be picked up by other retailers like Sephora. The promo images were a strong selling point for me on this shade. I already own a few Beauty Light Wands and really like them but the formula wasn’t even something I was considering when I purchased this. It was all about the gorgeous marketing and how the shade was portrayed as this gorgeous sunkissed rose.

I’m here to say those promo images lie. Haha…! Ok, hear me out. The shade is gorgeous BUT it isn’t a pink rose as described nor does it look anything at all on me the way it appears on Charlotte’s models. This shade is very, very coppery. I’d dare call it a warm coppery rose (heavy on the copper). Was I disappointed? Big time. I really wanted it to look as pretty as it did on the models. They had this pretty, out in the sun rosy glow in the videos and promotional material. I was unable to achieve that with the shade. It’s still nice but I can’t lie to you and say I wasn’t a smidge disappointed that the shade wasn’t as pretty as portrayed in those images. I’m actually somewhat surprised it hasn’t sold out. For a while, the Beauty Light Wands were viral across Tiktok and they simply couldn’t keep them in stock! But this is still very much available for purchase.

I’ve been really into dewy colors for my cheeks lately and Pat Mcgrath Divine Blush Legendary Glow Colour Balm sounds the perfect fit for me as they are throwing around words like “glass-skin effect”, “dewy”, and “moisturizing”. I see you Mother and I like what I see.

• Peach Lotus (Soft Peach Coral)
• Paradise Peony (Warm Pink Coral)
• Divine Rose (Soft Rose)

Peace Out Vitamin C Glow Stick ($28) is a new Under-Eye Vitamin C Serum that contains 6% L-ascorbic acid. This easy to use stick allows you to easily brighten and hydrate your eyes easily. The easy-to-apply stick is easy to swipe on and go. It contains peptides, caffeine, and squalane that acts to depuff, treat finer lines, and provide lasting moisture as it targets darkness.

I’m surprised Peach Out is just releasing this now as the RoC Multi Correxion Vitamin C Eye Balm Stick has been available for several months now. Hmmm who’s copying who? I will say Peace Out has considerably more ingredients but one of the first few ingredients the RoC side of the fence is Vitamin C.
