Bon Voyage by Tarte Holiday Collection
Before we get started I just want to say that this isn't going to be a review rather than an unboxing post and first impressions as I think it is necessary for such a large quantity inside this box set.
This was an amazing box set that Tarte had come out with this Holiday season that I just couldn't resist. I had seen it on display in my local Sephora store and had to go back and purchase it! For the price it was I still had thought it was definitely worth the money.
First thing I see after opening the packaging was the carrying case which actually was the exact size of the box! This is a limited edition travelers bag so you aren't going to get it anywhere else but in this box set! It's a zip up with tassles as zippers along with a carrying handle making it easy for travel. I really like the design that's on the bag as well. It seems to be a decent quality bag as well.
The inside of the bag is blue an purple stripes, I still find it quite eye appealing as well. On one side we have a pouch for the eyeshadow palette that came with this set as well. And the other side under the protectant we have the extras or so I would like to call them.
French Riviera was the color that was the selling point for me anyway. I just can't get enough of greens and blue colors!
I was also pretty fond of "C'est La Vie" and "No Champagne No Gain". Can you tell I enjoy my sparkly shadows? (:
First we have a full size LipSurgence Lip Tint in the shade Romantic. It is a lip crayon in the same shade as the tube, a pretty sparkly peach toned color. Will be good for every day usage.
Next we have another full size LipSurgence lip gloss in the matching color called Visionary. These would look good put on together.
Next we have what the box calls it a "deluxe" sized Light, Camera, Action 4-in-1 Mascara. What I would call it is a sample sized mascara.
A deluxe size Cheek stain in the color Muse. I am interested in this because I've never used a cheek stain before and the color is a nice shade that will be perfect for any time of the year I think.
Deluxe size Marajuca Oil. This is applied onto your skin and face before going to bed at night, only 1 or 2 squirts are needed to give you desired effect.
Lastly we have a deluxe size Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder. For those of you who don't know, this goes on after you are finished your base foundation to make it have a longer lasting power.
Just for a point of reference, this is the cheek stain and what they are referring to as a "deluxe" size. I would consider this to be a sample size. Or are they considering a 'sample' size as one you would get in a size like this:
Either way I still consider both to be a sample size but that's just me. Thoughts and opinions are very much welcome!
On final thoughts of my first impressions, I am extremely impressed with the quality and size of the travelling bag. Still not overly tickled at how they put the names of their colors on, however I am still very pleased with the eyeshadow palette and that they are full sized. I was sort of disappointed that the blush didn't contain very much product, however it smells absolutely amazing! I like how the lip products are wearable for anytime and a nice color for any skin tone. I am also pretty excited to try out the Marajuca Oil and interested in the results of it!
One bonus that I look for on beauty products is whether or not they are animal cruelty free. On the packaging it says that Tarte is in fact free of Animal Cruelty, that alone could also be a deal breaker for me.
All around I think that this was probably the best deal out of a lot of the holiday boxes I seen at Sephora this season. So yes, it is worth purchasing this box set with everything that comes with it! Plus, if you're like me and haven't had a chance to try multiple products from Tarte well, this is a great opportunity to do so!
