So to start it off we have:
Ametrine
Sometimes this costumes is to die for and sometimes its not. A purple section is always best and this costume clearly needs more purple in it but if it wasn’t for the purple this costume would have just been ok. The shape of the head piece is a very different and nice shape for a headpiece and the contrast of the colours do look nice here. The bra, as said before needs more purple but ignoring that fact it is actually beautiful. As for the male>>>>> SIGH!!!
Amethyst
Sexy purple! The bra is the best thing on this costume its really pretty and seems to have a little more thought than the ones that are plain and basic. However, the belt though pretty is still basic wit that string of beads in the middle (what is Harts obsession with beading between crotches? seriously!) and the headpiece again pretty but i don't know something about it seems cheap upclose in the mas camp. Its mid December and Harts is still yet to reveal the male to this costume.
Andesine
Flaming red and that’s just about all to it. This costume is pretty safe with two outstanding elements in it; the headpiece and the styling of the bra. Besides that the costume is jus simple, pretty and flaming red. The male costume is saved by the helmet-looking headpiece.
Aquamarine
One of my top choices of costumes out of the Planet Rock theme this year. Both male and female costumes are on point. The headpiece in the photo is beautiful and those people who like large and elaborate headpieces well this surely fit your criteria. The monokini is very well done here but in terms of being practical on the road we’ll have to wait till Carnival Tuesday arrives. As for the male costume, love it. The design of the headpiece is lovely the chest piece is lovely and the belt is just different. Don’t know what about it is but it is. Great costume.
I love this costume,the large female option is amazing or as we trinis say "it besss", well done. Even though a dull shade of blue was used the bra is most vivid. Complemented by the stones I can definitely foresee them glistening when the rays of the sun hits it on Carnival Tuesday. The extra piece hanging from the bra adds a little touch extra to the costume and the necklace adds more beauty to the costume. The belt looks well done and looks special with the three loops on the side. I love the male costume headpiece. For the season so far its maybe the only male headpiece that is elaborate and makes the males feel like there costume was well thought out. Besides that the costume is ordinary and looks like the rest of the other harts costume just a different colour.
Chrysocolla
The use of peacock feathers for the headpiece would have been nice if u could actually enjoy its beauty but the use of what seems to be turquoise feathers overpowers the essence of the headpiece so though nice I won't say its much to talk abt. The bra is quite simple a few beads here and there does not make a good costume as well as the belt which is the same thing. Where is the creativity in these costumes? Colour is beautiful, beads are nice but there must be more to a costume than just beads and colour. As a first time masquerader I don’t want the only thing separating me from the other sections to be a name and a colour. Armband and footband are nice but overall the costume is quite bleh. The male costume looks like it just got added in.
Citrine
I have mixed opinions about citrine. The female large headpiece option looks nice with the feathers, to me thats about it to the costume. The extras to the bra along to the waist side adds something extra to the costume but once again thats about it. The belt is tiny. As for the male costume, this was my costume of choice but after looking at it over and over it looks sort of "cheap." and the 3 metal circles hanging from the chest piece can be a burden on the road so it was no long an option.
Goldstone
Female costume is very different. Don't know if its in a good way or not but it sure is. The design on the bra, belt and headpiece reminds me of a car grill and the colour of the costume is a little uncarnivalish lol. The male costume actually has a lot going on. The sash, headpiece adds something extra to the costume.

Monokini- Sigh. The best thing about this costume is the headpiece and that isn’t even special. This is creatively….ugly. Sorry Harts but those droopy beads aren’t visually pleasing. I’m a beads person and this costume just isn’t pretty. And the top half of the monokini, really how much support is there?
Bikini- This is a hidden gem. The headpiece is a stopper with the mix of yellow and brown I really like this headpiece 2 thumbs up!! The bra has a really neat design and the detail on it sets it apart from the other….should I say simple pieces. The belt is a bit small for my liking and a bit more work could have been done maybe more hanging beads or something hanging so when you “whine” your costume can move with you but it’s ok. Armbands and foot bands are pretty which the trend with Harts costumes.
Hematite
That headpiece is gorgeous!! That is a headpieceeeeeee though black is not a colour i would choose for carnival (colour makes a statement) in this costume it looks amazing. Sadly the bra is a let down wit its basic bleh look....two rows of medium sized black beads and a bejewelled strap please harts! The belt as usual is a bleh. Don't get me wrong this costume does luk pretty but the detail on it isn't much to comment on it jus looks pretty and i think it is owed to the use of black n silver which generally pleases the eye. As for the male, nice headpiece i guess lol.
Howlite
Finally. This is what i call CREATIVE!
Monokini- This is beautiful. Love the headpiece its cute and the frilly bits on the top of the monokini just adds to the simple yet effective beauty pf this costume. White somehow adds a bit of class to the costume and the colour on the beads and frillies at the end is definitely a stopper.
Bikini- Just as beautiful as the monokini Harts really made it big with this one. Lovely costume!! need i say more?
Moonstone
This is a costume! From the sexyyy headpiece, although medium size its sexy, to the detailed bra to the belt. Love how the silver beads and droppings meet at the center of the bra its absolutely gorgeous and the belt has the droppins long enough so whoever wears this costume you "inna gear" cause your hangings will move with you!!! Amazing costumeee!!! Love this i really think it's my favourite after howlite. This pic doesn't do this costume justice because in the mas camp it was absolutely stunning. Can definitely see this being a stand out on the road. For the male, I don't know why but this costume tickled my fancy. The headpiece is simple but somewhat different, the chains on the chest piece just adds something different than the other costumes. Love this section.
Peridot
This costume definitely followed the theme of peridot colourwise. As a friend of mine said, the bra looks like moss. lol. but what makes the costume stand out is the jewelry coming from the bra and looping to the side of the belt. if it wasn't for this element this costume would have to be scrapped. Headpiece is OMG!!! The shape and colour contrast is beautiful.
Male: The headpiece reminds me of hulk lol. and the handpiece is different but thats just about it.
Beautiful costume and lovely shade of pink. The female monokini option is well done and pretty which has the Harts signature design on it but it doesn't really look practical on the road. The headpiece is "bleh." The bikini options is nice with the contrasting shades of pink and the bling hanging from the bra but thats just about it to the costume. The belt is very sparkly but tiny. The large headpiece options is beautiful and very nice. As for the male costume, it would have been a perfect male costume minus the four feathers hanging from the belt and the chest piece. the headpiece once again is a well done headpiece for the males like azurite. Well done. I also didn't understand the male colour of choice when compared to the female in the section also.
This costume reminds me of gladiator, somehow fits Tribes theme lol. I don't really know if to say it's nice or not one thing for sure it is fierce. The strap ups on the stomach area looks nice but bad sunburn and beads are lacking (but im a bead person). The headpiece is really REALLY COOL! and fierce again. It's not simple but yet it is so nice but not really effective. The male costume doesn't do anything for me here.
Turquoise in Matrix
The colour is beautiful.....but other than that, bland much? Online this costume looks amazing but in the mas camp it looked quite basic and was a great disappointment. Im most certain enhancements were utilised on the pictures! The bra is plain with a splash of beads here and there...and surprise! Same thing for the belt. The stones hanging from the neck can't possibly be comfortable while one is "causing it" on the roads and the stones hanging from the crotch is a bit odd.
