I’ve accidentally turned this blogging week into tarte week! But I ain’t mad about it because they make some absolutely glorious products. Today’s post is all about these beautiful bright coloured gems – the Clay Pot Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liners.

tarte actually makes one of my favourite gel pot style eyeliners ever (which can be evidenced by my absolutely decimated empty of it from a post a few years back), so I was really excited to try out their brightly coloured versions as well.

Sephora has these listed as a limited edition item that is available only online (just in case you were looking in stores).

How much fun are these colours? I’m especially in love with Crystal Ball which has an a ridiculous amount of sparkle and sheen to it, Lucky Penny which is just an absolutely stunning melted copper colour and Blue Moon which is electrifying!

tarte Clay Pot Eye Swatches

I was really, really pleased with how well Prom Queen came out on the eye. I had been a little bit skeptical based on my swatch, but it came out beautifully!

Crystal Ball floored me. This is like the ultimate glitter liner without it being in a wet and sticky formula. I wore it alone, so you can see there is plenty of pigment in the product, but I bet this would look incredible on top of a black liner.

Another favourite! Lucky Penny is the kind of shade that screams my name and I loved how it looked as a winged liner. I’ve never used a colour like that for a wing, but I’m 100% sold on this look now!

Sadly, my Margarita pot was a little it dried out which made application a bit difficult. I also found that this shade flaked off my eyes a bit throughout the day. I attribute this to the dryness in the product from an improperly sealed lid as opposed to being inherent to the product itself though.

I’m not sure how often I’m likely to wear a hot pink liner, but for those of you looking for one – look no further! Bubblegum is the perfect name for this hot pink beauty.

Blue Moon is another favourite! Intensely pigmented and such a standout shade.

I’ve included a close up shot so you can see what the texture of the liner can look like. Because of the brightness of the shades, this will emphasize some lines around your eyes. Unlike with a black or a brown which masks any kind of lines, you will find that brighter colours will display that texture a bit more. I’m not personally concerned with it because that’s just the nature of skin – but I thought some people would want to be aware of it.

Final Thoughts

Aside from the slightly dry Margarita shade, there really isn’t a dud in the formula of the tarte Clay Pots. I do find them overall a bit less creamy than the black version, but I think that’s perhaps part of the coloured pigment base. That being said, I love these so, so much. They glide on the lids smoothly and they all have fantastic colour payoff which means you aren’t going back over your liner multiple times in order to get maximum intensity. I love how vibrant and bold the shades are – it makes me so happy!

My personal picks are Lucky Penny, Blue Moon and Crystal Ball. In particular, Crystal Ball is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a gel pot format so I love how unique it is!

The tarte Clay Pot gel liners can be purchased on sephora.ca for $25 CAD each or on sephora.com for $21 USD. The Canadian site has wayyy more shades available by the way!
