I wearing it today and absolutely love it! For reference I have oily/acne prone skin. Dark brown hair and eyes with a medium skintone. I ordered the Medium and it is a perfect match. If you are a light-medium or medium go for this shade.

Amazonian Clay Full Coverage foundation: Has a dry texture kinda mousse like....similar to Tarte's Recreate foundation. Would definately give full coverage if you apply with your fingers however I applied it with the brush (which is super soft and luxurious) this morning...buffing it in and it left me with a light layer which was nice and looked very natural. Since I have some reddness and acne scarring I needed extra coverage so instead of a concealer I used the foundation and applied it on my trouble areas with my fingers and it covered it like a dream. I also have large pores on my cheeks and nose so when the foundation set for a few minutes it really gives a airbrush, flawless finish. I couldn't believe it! I leaves a natural matte finish that I didn't even need to apply a setting powder over it and I have oily skin.

Eyeshadow Quad: I haven't liked the Tarte eyeshadows in the past but these colors are smooth and pigmented. Has a subtle shimmer that is very natural. Here is a description of the colors:

Bronze- more like a true gold

Cocoa- brownish plum with gold fleck (very unique)

Plum: Light plum with gold shimmer

Sand: Great highlighter shade that is matte

The eyeliner applies like butter and is a plum wine shade. Absolutely gorgeous. I love the combination of these products gives a beautiful smokey eye for both day or night.

Glisten Blush: Very pigmented and applies darker than what it looks like in the pan. Very pretty peachy-pink with subtle shimmer. The shimmer doesn't show when applied which is good for my large pores.

PureOptic Gloss: Light golden pink with some shimmer. Not over the top when applied but when it wears off you are left with glitter on your lips. I don't care because it makes your lips super juicy and pretty.

Overall this kit an amazing deal and helped me fall back in love with Tarte.
