I buy in to all the hype with the Amazonian Clay products and I love them. Captivating certainly captivated my attention and I haven’t regretted this purchase at all. I love that blush! The highlighter Champagne is perfect and I really like Park Avenue Princess for contouring.
When it comes to the eyeshadows, Bikini all the way! This color is similar to the Smashbox Shades of Fame Honey, which I love. It’s a fantastic lid shade and great for brightening the eyes.
The eyeshadows all have good pigmentation, with Poolside being the weakest pigmentation wise. However, it still looks nice, especially if you layer it on top of a teal liner. Hammock could be used to line the eyes in addition to it working as a nice dark or contour shade.
Wearing almost all of the shades in the Aqualillies for Tarte palette. I’ve got on Barefoot, Bikini, Hammock, Sundeck, Poolside and Parasol from the eyeshadows. I’ve got on Park Ave Princess, Captivating and Champagne for the cheeks.
You can see the ‘Get Ready With Me’ for this palette in the video above.
The cheek products coordinate together perfectly. I just can’t get over how awesome that blush turned out to be. And while I never would have purchased Park Avenue Princess on its own, I’m happy to find out that it’s quite wearable for me if used with a light hand as a contour.
I love the beautiful packaging and the fact that this is ultra portable, yet the amount of product is pretty amazing. A typical tarte blush is .2 oz, and the one in this palette is .23 oz. A typical MAC eyeshadow is .05 oz, so with each of the eyeshadows in here at .04 oz, they’re just slightly under that in size, but where 6 MAC eyeshadows would cost you $72 (if you bought the refills), you’re getting slightly more than a full size blush, 6 nearly full size eyeshadows, and half sized bronzer and highlighter. So this is a fantastic value for the price.
If you can find this product in-store (or get it online at Ulta), snatch it up. You won’t regret it.

Reviews for "The Ultimate Tool for a Smudge-Proof Look: The Captivating Half Magic Eye Pencil"
- Sarah - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with the Captivating half magic eye pencil. The color was not as vibrant as I expected, and it barely showed up on my eyelids. The pencil itself was also very hard and difficult to apply smoothly. I had to press down really hard to get any pigment, and it ended up hurting my eyelids. Overall, it was a complete waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.
- Emily - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Captivating half magic eye pencil, but it did not live up to my expectations. The color payoff was mediocre and it faded throughout the day, even with a primer. It also smudged easily, which was frustrating. The pencil itself was quite dry and tugged on my eyelids when applying. I have tried other eye pencils in the past that were much better in terms of pigmentation and staying power. I wouldn't repurchase this product.
- Jessica - 2/5 - I found the Captivating half magic eye pencil to be quite underwhelming. The color looked much darker in the packaging than it applied on my eyelids. It was also difficult to get a precise line, as the pencil tip wasn't sharp enough. I had to constantly sharpen it, which wasted a lot of product. The formula was not long-lasting either, and it smudged easily. Overall, I expected better quality from this brand.
