The Box

This is similar to the other Tarte Holiday palette boxes. It is embellished with ruffled purple velvet and a gold jeweled band.

Level 1 – Eyeshadows

There are 16 eyeshadows - 8 mattes and 8 shimmers in an assortment of neutrals and jewel tones. This is a simple toned down palette along the same line as the other palettes. Tarte palettes tend to be more subtle and are meant for simple day/night looks.

Level 2 – Bonuses

 

There are 4 products on the second level including a face primer, mascara primer, mascara and lipgloss. The primer has a smooth silicone feel and leaves a smooth even finish to the skin. The mascara primer and mascara are decent and the lipgloss is a pretty sparkly pink.

Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon HOLIDAY 2010 Palettes - THOUGHTS and SWATCHES...

Wet 'n' Wild has debuted 4 new ColorIcon Palettes for their Holiday 2010 Collection. Each of the palettes come with 6 limited edition eyeshadow shades and a bonus eye pencil.

These palettes were $4.49 at Harmons where I bought mine but I think they retail for $4.99. Don't forget that there are numerous sales at drugstores at any given time so you may be able to get these cheaper in a Buy One Get One Half Off Sale.

Update from the lovely favorisntfair: These are available at Walgreens and they are even having a 50% off sale!

The palettes are similar to the basic Wet 'n' Wild ColorIcon Palettes and come with 6 eyeshadows. The difference in the holiday palettes is that all the shades are either shimmery or glitter packed versus shimmers and mattes as in the originals.

The eyeshadows are all highly pigmented and very true to the color seen in the palette. There are 4 palettes in all: Golden Goddess - golds, bronze and orange tones, Snow Sprite - silvers, greens and blue, Plum Fairy - pinks, purples and plums, Night Elf- silvers, black and red.

These are great palettes are the budget conscious and savvy shopper. These are also best suited for those of us who love shimmer and glitter. These are not subtle satin shades...they are full on shimmery shades for the holiday season. Happy shopping!

 Golden Goddess - golds, bronze and orange tones
