Tarte Energy Noir Clay Palette Review

Hey everyone! I really love the presentation of this palette! Let's start swatching some shades and explore this gorgeous Tarte Energy Noir Clay Palette more in-depth shall we?

The Packaging
I love the gorgeous purple colour on the exterior packaging paired with gold surrounding the palette and on the bottom of it too! There is a nice sized rectangular mirror that would be awesome to do your makeup in! 

What You're Getting
I plan on bringing this when I travel next because you get: 6 square Amazonian clay eye shadows (4 matte and 2 shimmer,) 2 rectangular shaped Amazonian clay eye shadows that are both matte, one Amazonia clay highlighter that is the same size as the two aforementioned matte shadows and you also get an Amazonian clay 12-Hour blush. I do like that it comes with a step-by-step guide to recreate two different eye shadow looks using the shades in the palette. Another thing I did like is that it came with a plastic insert telling me the names of each shade but I feel like it can be easy to lose. I wish the names of the shadow were somehow incorporated directly into the palette on the packaging for easy reference.

The Pans Inside
Keep in mind that the blush is almost full size (in this palette, the blush is 1.91 oz and a single Amazonian clay blush from Tarte is 0.2 oz retailing for $35 CAD on the Sephora web site.) However, I couldn’t find a single of the full sized version of Unearthed which is the name of the blush in the palette, on the Sephora web site. The same thing with the highlighter Crystal Spark. If you love these shades enough, you will have to buy the palette again until they come out with singles or refillable palettes.

Swatches

I am not trying to sound picky but I do wish that there was a matte black and a matte white shadow in this palette. That would make it absolutely perfect! I am a highlighter junkie and I do wish that it was larger in size because dipping my brush into the shade may be a little awkward but I’m sure that I’ll make it work! 

I swatched the top three eyeshadows and the blush. The brown eyeshadow I found to be patchy.

I will be getting a lot of use out of this palette in the fall because the colours will be perfect to use during that time of year! 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
