Help?! Tarte vs. Urban Decay

Oh my goodness, I just saw the new summer collection from Tarte, Aqualillies! It shows a beautiful vintage style with wonderful summer colors! Just look how gorgeous it looks! The packaging looks great as well! That is what attracted me haha.

But here is my dilemma...I've been wanting to Urban Decay Naked Basics palette for a few months now, but this Tarte palette has very similar colors, but comes with a bronzer, blush, and highlighter. 


Tarte's palette is $38 while Urban Decay Naked Basics is $27. I want to get one of these as a birthday gift for myself! I've experienced Tarte eyeshadows and love them, but I have never tried Urban Decay shadows and I hear they are great.

What would you choose and why?

  1. Personally I would choose the Tarte compact (If Tarte was sold in Australia) I like the look of the urban decay basics palette but I have more than enough neutral shades & don't need anymore all neutral palette but the Tarte one seems to have a bit of everything & would be the perfect little compact for travelling.
    cant wait to see which you pick up :)

    1. I want something neutral, which I love, but like you said the Tarte does have a bit of everything! I will have to swatch them both in store. I can't wait to see which one I choose as well!

  2. Oh no!!! I totally understand your dilemma here! I think I personally prefer the Tarte compact because I like the look of the shades more and it does have the blusher, bronzer and highlighter. However we don't have either brand here in Australia so maybe go swatch them? Goodluck deciding! :)

    1. I definitely will swatch them! That is so sad that you don't have either brand there =( I've heard UD is good, and I love Tarte, so we will see!

  3. Ah this is a tough one.. But I would choose Tarte.. I feel like a pop of color is needed for spring/summer makeup :)
    We don't have Tarte in Sweden, nor UD... :/ Envy you for being able to be in this dilemma lol

    1. That is true, spring/summer is a pop of color! Plus it is limited edition! I don't know if Urban Decay Basics is part of the permanent line, but I know Tarte's palette is only for this season.

  6. My friend got the naked basics recently, honestly most of the colors in there are kind of a let down...... They are kind of chalky and the pigmentation isn't that great...

  7. Tarte is an amazing brand and so is UD I haven't tried the Basics palette by them but their individual eye shadows are sooo very pigmented. If I had to choose I would still go for Tarte just because they come with a blush ( which by the way the blushes by them are really great ).
