Too Faced Gingerbread Spice Palette

This palette has been released as part of the Too Faced Holiday 2018 Collection, which is limited edition. As soon as I saw the press release photos for this palette, I knew I had to have it.
The packaging is the usual tin material that the Chocolate Bar Palettes are made of. It is warm brown colour and has raised gingerbread men graphics on it. It has the usual metallic opening/closing and it also contains a small mirror. I purchased mine for £39.00 from CultBeauty.co.uk. It is also available on TooFaced.com and in Sephora stores in the USA.
You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in a variety of finishes; Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Satin (S) and Glitter (G).
POWDERED SUGAR - pale beige (M)
SPIKED EGGNOG - bright light gold (ME)
GUMDROP - rich fuchsia pink (S)
GINGERBREAD - medium brown with orange undertone (M)
WARM & TOASTY - molten gold (ME)
OOO BURN! - medium plum purple (ME)
FROSTBITE ME! - pale off-white (G)
LOOKIE AT MY COOKIE - pink coral (M)
SPICE IS NICE - rich warm orange (M)
OH SNAP! - dark coral (G)
BAKE IT ‘TIL YOU MAKE IT - dark rosy bronze (ME)
SPICE OF LIFE - warm golden olive bronze (ME)
SUGAR DADDY - soft pale pink (M)
FIGGY PUDDING - dark berry (M)
HOT TODDY - copper plum (ME)
REINDEER PAWS - deep plum (M)
GINGERBREAD LATTE - medium warm golden brown (M)
SPICED RUM - dark bronze (G)

You also get a How-o Glamour Guide, which is included with the majority of Too Faced palettes. This guide shows you how to complete three looks using the palette; Spice Is Nice, Warm & Toasty and Hottie Toddy.

The eyeshadows can be sheer to highly pigmented (buildable) and should have one-swipe payoff. They should have a creamy texture and be buttery smooth. The eyeshadows are made with 100% natural cocoa powder. This palette is scented and should smell of fresh-baked gingerbread. The palette is also cruelty free. It is not vegan as it contains Carmine.

The packaging for this palette is so cute and I love it. The shade selection is right up my street. They are extremely pigmented, smooth and blend softly. They are buildable and can be used wet or dry. The only shade that swatches shear is ‘Frostbite Me!’. The palette does have a warm spice smell, but I wouldn’t say that it is identifiably gingerbread, it has more of a vanilla scent. My favourite shades are; Gumdrop, Spice Is Nice and Hot Toddy. The shade range can be considered neutral, but there are a few pops of brighter shades. I really enjoy this palette and it is the first Too Faced palette that has caught my eye in a really long time. They tend to put out a lot of ‘new’ palettes around Christmas time, which I personally don’t think are up to their usual quality. It’s like they put them out for the sakes of it because they know people will buy them. I can’t wait to continue using this palette for the winter period and I hope their future releases are just as good!

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...
