You guys, I barely ever buy makeup without seeing it first. I know that sounds crazy, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've done it. I like to "see" the products in person first and test drive them because I've found that no matter how great something looks online, in person it can be God awful. But I'm breaking my own rule for Tarte's Make Believe In Yourself: Eye & Cheek Palette. Look at it! I mean, seriously. LOOK AT IT! It's an eleven shade palette of unicorn-inspired shades that includes the middle color, a strobing cheek and eye highlighter. I could not be more into metallics right now and I've basically stalked Instagram to see swatches of this one and people have not disappointed. They're stunning. And the reviews online have been super glowing too, so that makes me want it even more (social media at its finest!) The only thing that's annoying is that it won't be available in stores until April (mid April, I think) but I'm so obsessed with it that I'm going to order it from Tarte.com (it's also available on Ulta.com and the previously linked Sephora's website, but Tarte does free shipping with a $40 purchase, so ding ding ding!) I keep trying to convince myself to wait until Ulta has their next 20% off prestige coupon, but what if it's not there yet or sold out or the coupon expires before I can use it for that specific palette? I would seriously be so mad at myself for not buying it because with my luck, at that point it would be sold out (it's limited-edition, of course). So to the internet I shall go to order makeup, for the first time in forever (crazy, I know, but when you live in a big city like Los Angeles, there's really no need since I can just go buy it in any one of the many stores around). Instagram, you are my kryptonite for makeup swatches!
