It’s since of the sides, man! I’m all about the sides. The potato salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad, that strange Jello salad that one of my aunties typically makes which looks completely gross however tastes hella delicious.
Oh! — as well as the corn on the freaking cob?

Say “Please pass the potato chips!” to the Tarte Poppy Picnic Amazonian Clay Eye & Cheek combination ($38)
Hmm… What’s inside this picnic basket?
The Tarte Poppy Picnic Amazonian Clay Eye & Cheek Palette: A quick FAQ/Rundown
What is it?
A $38 restricted edition eye & cheek combination (available now) including six new powder eyeshadows as well as one re-promoted powder blush (it’s called Glisten) including Tarte’s jam, otherwise understood as Amazonian clay, which is expected to absorb any type of oily bits while at the same time balancing wetness levels in your skin.
Are there any type of restricted edition shades?
Yes, ma’am, there are. The eyeshadows in summertime breeze (a matte cream), wonderful Tea (a matte tan), Ice cream Cone (a matte chocolate), Barefoot in the turf (a matte light tan), Peach Poppy (a matte peach) as well as Picnic Basket (a matte deep brown) are all restricted edition.
What size are the pans?
Shimmery golden pink Glisten blush is a 0.20-ounce full-size pan, as well as the eyeshadows are smaller at 0.06 ounces each.
What can you tell me about the structure of the eyeshadows?
Well, I can tell ya that they kick up a great deal of powder, so it assists to tap off your clean before applying them; otherwise, you get a bit fallout.
Beyond that, though, they feel smooth to me, as well as they’re simple to blend.
Are the eyeshadows pigmented or sheer?
I’d state that the lighter tan as well as peach shades are sheer to medium, while the two darkest shades are medium (I developed them up for the swatches to make ’em good as well as dark), as well as none of them look heavy on the skin.
How about the structure of the blush?
Slightly grainy…which is most likely since of the quite huge flecks of golden shine in it.
How pigmented is the blush?
Moderately pigmented, however not crazy town/crazy clown pigmented. I only requirement a single layer.
Does the combination remind you of anything else from Tarte?
It does. since many of the shadows are matte, neutral as well as aren’t excessively warm or cool, the combination reminds me of a smaller, somewhat different version of the Tartelette palette.
The warm-ish shades, though — Peach Poppy as well as Barefoot in the turf — make it a bit different…but not completely different. If you already have the Tartlette combination and/or Glisten Blush, I’d avoid it (unless you want dupes).
How do you feel about the combination overall?
For quick nude/neutral day looks, I like it. The eyeshadows are simple to blend (easier than the ones in the as well dealt with natural Matte palette, for example), which makes it appropriate for urgent get-out-the-door-immediately moments.
Good for makeup minimalists, however most likely not as great for somebody searching for huge va-va-voom glam. I mean, you might get there with this…but it would take a great deal of layering.
I like the blush, too, however the shine amplifies my pores. That, or perhaps my pores have gotten so huge that they’ve hit the point of no return. who knows?
If you’re on the market for a new matte neutral palette, the Tarte summertime 2015 Poppy Picnic Amazonian Clay Eye & Cheek combination will do fine, however it won’t, like, break the Internets or influence somebody to compose a sonnet or anything.
