Buying a Tarte Holiday masterpiece is almost an annual ritual. I had a really good golden brush set in one of the past years and last year I got this cheek palette that I find -sort of- suitable for my skin tone.

Swatch
Tarte created 5 new blush colours for this collection and swatches are not really available online. Here are some of the photos that I’ve compiled for you to have a look.
Polished – nude-toned matte blush. Very suitable for daily wear.
Refined – peach-toned matte blush. Great for a little bit of colour on the cheeks to look brighter.
Facet – pink-toned matte blush. Similar to refined but has more pink to it.
Gemstone – peach-toned shimmery blush. Is this a Nars Orgasm/Torrid substitute?
Luxe – nude-toned pink matte blush. Very suitable for daily wear too.
Park Ave Princess – light-shimmery bronzer. Not too dark, great for daily wear.
