Generally, women wear more makeup than usual when attending a black tie affair. Strangely, we also carry a much smaller bag! Evening bags are gorgeous, but hopelessly useless. I can’t tell you how many nights I’ve only had a lipstick in my bag, for midnight touch-ups.
For those of you who absolutely, positively, want to carry more makeup with you to any event, Tarte has launched a stellar new collection that finally solves the evening bag dilemma! Makeup mavens, allow me to introduce you to Puttin’ On The Glitz!
tarte is Puttin’ On The Glitz for New Year’s Eve!
Tarte Puttin’ On The Glitz is a beautiful silver, slender-profile evening bag with a gold chain. Inside is a mirror, slots for credit cards, and a holder for one universally flattering gloss. Here’s where the fun truly starts. Puttin’ On the Glitz comes with three palettes. Each contains six eyeshadows and one cheek color. The palettes can be used stand-alone, or you can snap them into the evening bag, where they fit perfectly flush against the side of the bag and protected from breaking by a slightly padded cover. This product is sheer brilliance!
Here’s the skinny on what shades you’ll find in each palette:
• “a walk in the park” features a mix of modern-day neutrals, from earth tones, to “greige” to plums. The palette also includes an Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in darling (a soft shimmering coral pink).
• “girls’ night out” is a mix of vivid purple/dusky shades. The palette features shadows in both matte and shimmer finishes, and an Amazonian clay shimmering powder in champagne.
• “nine-to-five” contains rich earthy/mossy tones and tarte’s legendary Park Ave. Princess Amazonian clay bronzer.
The set also comes with some three follow-the-numbers eye makeup ideas (one for each palette), for the application challenged!
Retail price is $48 (with a retail value of $406 in makeup!)
