Review-
I received the Tarte Ready to Wear Dual Look palette.One thing is to check out the price for all that you get. This is an incredible deal and is also limited so if you want it, I don't think it will be long before it is sold out.
The design of the palette itself in incredible.It is a faux croc and It looks like a case and than it opens up.As you can see in the picture above, One side you have the brushes, mascara and eye pencil, the second side is the New York look of colors and the third side is the Paris look of colors. It close's up easy with magnetic's and is would be great size to bring to work with you or on a trip. I thought once looking at the case that the amount of product and colors would be tiny but once I opened it up I was surprised. Inside the colors are not a tiny amount. These are really good size's that will last for a long time. There are the two great size palettes in one kit with many colors to play with. I did both the New York face and the Paris look. But I also experimented with all the colors too.

All over eye shadow brush. This is a very soft brush and it feels like silk going across the eyes. It is mini but fits perfect in my hands and easy to use. This brush applies the Shadow so even and smooth. This is the perfect brush for applying a simple wash, packing on color, and I can apply and blend my crease color with it. I can do a lot of eye looks with just this brush.Very good quality.

Excellent eyeliner brush. Perfect for applying shadows wet as a liner right at the lash line. Absolutely foolproof.

I love the shimmer shadows. The colors are rich and blend very easily. The texture is awesome. The selection of colors is great.The texture is so smooth,and soft and the color really lasts. The pigmentation is great, long-lasting and they have a build able quality. Each color is interesting and beautiful and fun to play with, and even if you go a little over the top with one of the shades, you can always neutralize with the lighter colors. I was surprised that I can wear all of those colors.They look great on my eye and both looks really made my blue eyes pop out.

The mini Rest Assured eyeliner was easy to use.The pencil is soft and perfect for lining and really brighten up my eyes. This is a keeper with any makeup application I do.

Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara-
I Love this mascara. It is very easy to handle.It does everything I want I have long, fairly curly lashes to begin with but this delivers on all fronts. It lengthens, curls, and give my lashes more volume and the best part it does lengthen and curl without clumping. It separates my eyelashes beautifully. My eyes look wonderful with this mascara.

blushes peach and dark pink
Both of these blushes work out beautifully on my skin and skin tone. I like the cream blush. The dark pink blush gives my skin a nice pink flush which is build able. it's very pretty and easy to apply with fingertips,it lasts all day on me. I think this shade suits most skin tones.
The peach blush also pretty and looked beautiful and natural on my skin. These cream blush's are very soft only a small amount on your finger or sponge is necessary to color the whole cheek. It is smooth and blends very easily and make the color less intense.

The Lipstick colors are exactly what I was looking for and fits with the other colors in the palette perfectly. The formula is quite creamy and glides on easily. It has perfect amount of shine, not over the top glossy but not matte either. Some lipsticks and tend to dry out my lips and this was a nice, have not experienced any dryness at all. The colors wear pretty well. These colors are nice, good quality. Each shade is well-pigmented and has excellent lasting power.

Here are the look that how to get the looks-
I Love New York Look:

-Using the all over eyeshadow brush, apply a wash of the golden olive shadow.

-Apply the light gold eyeshadow, sweeping shadow from the inner corner of eyelid up towards the crease/browbone. Adding a soft wash of this right below the brow will really make your eyes pop!

-Trace the smoky moss shadow along the crease of the eyelid in a reverse-C shape, arcing back towards the lashline.

-To make eyes look more awake, use the Rest Assured Brightening Pencil to line the inner rim of lower lids.-After curling lashes, apply generous coats of Lights, Camera, Lashes! 4-in-1 mascara.

-Using fingertips or a sponge, apply honeypeach cream blush to cheekbones, adding a dab to forehead, chin & nose for a healthy, outdoorsy glow.

-Using a fingertip (for a more natural look) or a lip brush (for a more precise look), apply a coat of one of the lipsticks.

Paris, Mon Amour Look:

-Dip the eyelining brush in the deep violet shadow and press color along lashline, smudging color upwards towards center of lid. Repeat this step until you have achieved the desired depth of color.

-Using the all over eyeshadow brush, apply lilac shadow lightly over the deep purple, blending upwards towards crease.

-Using the all over eyeshadow brush, apply pale pink shadow to browbone.-Use the eyelining brush in a gentle wiggling motion to work the violet shadow into lower lashline. For a more dramatic effect, slightly wet the eyelining brush and re-line upper lid with violet shadow.

-To increase contrast and make eyes look even smokier, use the Rest Assured Brightening Pencil to line the inner rim of lower lids.

-After curling lashes, apply generous coats of Lights, Camera, Lashes! 4-in-1 mascara.

-Using fingertips or a sponge, apply cream blush to cheekbones, blending up towards temples.
