Did you think you’ve already seen all the Christmas beauty sets? Wait a bit. This one plays the gluttony card, but without calories. And spoiler: it doesn’t stay in stock long.
Between creamy textures, sweet scents and ultra-portable shadows, a new set is turning heads among makeup fans. And its price could well make you fall for it without feeling guilty.
A tart box for $55, but with how many products?
Are you wondering? Here is the answer: six products. Two travel-size eyeshadow palettes, two standard-size mascaras and two lip care products. The mascaras and lip products alone would justify the price. But here, you also have two exclusive mini palettes as a bonus.
According to the Sephora product sheet, the total value of the products is much higher than the price paid: it is estimated on the basis of the formats sold separately, in particular the Tartelette™ Tubing and Maneater™ mascaras, as well as the Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump and Lip Balm. As for the pallets, they are not available individually, their price is therefore calculated proportionally.
Two scented worlds: hot chocolate or crème brûlée
The Kindness Café box is divided into two atmospheres. On the hot chocolate side, you find:
- The tartelette™ hot cocoa palette in Amazonian clay, with six shades: bonjour (matte vanilla), tarte tatin (shiny light bronze), amour (matte beige), mon cher (shiny light pink), pastry (intense matte brown), and oh la là (satin brown).
- Tartelette™ Tubing black mascara in standard size (8 ml).
- Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump, Hot Cocoa, a gourmet berry pink in 2.7 ml format.
Crème brûlée side:
- The tartelette™ crème brûlée palette, still in Amazonian clay, which contains the blushes: meringue (satin champagne), je t’aime (pearl golden beige), bakery (shiny light gold), kiss kiss (matte cinnamon), macaroon (satin copper) and belle (matte brown).
- Maneater™ black mascara in standard format (9 ml), a best-seller of the brand.
- Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm – Crème Brûlée, a soft caramel with a shiny finish, in 2.7 g format.
You will have understood: two sub-box sets, two vibes, but always the same intention. “The Kindness Café de tarte box, 2 gifts in 1! Exclusive palettes, iconic mascaras and lip treatments for an irresistible festive look to share… or to keep for yourself!”
Easy to wear shades and a real delicious scent
It’s not just a matter of packaging. The palettes are made up of ultra-portable shadows, well pigmented and easy to work with. The names in French (“my darling”, “I love you”, “belle”) add an emotional, almost complicit touch.
The two olfactory universes are very distinct, with truly gourmet scents: sweet cocoa for the first, caramelized vanilla for the second. A real sensory pleasure from the moment you open the boxes. Lip plump and lip balm also offer very realistic sweet scents without being cloying.
An ultra-clever gift idea (even for yourself)
This box is not only pretty: it is also clever. It allows you to test two of Tarte’s best-selling mascaras, while discovering the very popular moisturizing lip care products from the Maracuja range. Group purchasing allows for considerable savings. If you give this set, you can even divide it into two small boxes to give separately.
Another advantage, and not the least: this type of box sells quickly. Offer is limited to the holiday season, and products are not sold separately in these formats. “Offer valid while stocks last.” To the wise…
