Swatches of the Tarte After Dark Colored Clay Palette

Hello!



I wanted a palette with blush, bronzer, and highlighter so I jumped on this. Plus it’s a circle. Circles are cool. Did I need another palette? Not really. 

I am looking forward to travelling with it, as it's pretty portable, but I'm worried it will break!





This photo captures the true color of the highlighter better.
 Eyeshadows, swatched over bare skin: Top to bottom:

Don’t turn a brown (matte),
Tan-gled up in you (matte),
Up to no Gold (shimmer),
Plum Away with Me (shimmer) 
Make a Mauve (shimmer)

Bare to explore (matte)  

Eyeshadows swatched over WetNWild Fergie Primer: l-r

Bare to explore (matte)

Top: Highlighter in Champagne 
Bottom: the bronzer, Park Avenue Princess, seems to be matte.

 Blush in Unleashed
I wanted to show comparisons of Unleashed with my other Tarte Blushes. From L-R:
Unleashed, Exposed, Captivating

 I love this palette! The only disapointing eyeshadow was "Don’t turn a brown" - but I used it as a brow powder and it looked nice.

On another note, why is it now called "Colored Clay" instead of "Amazonian Clay"?
