Too Faced Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palette

This palette has been released as part of the Too Faced Holiday 2019 Collection, which is limited edition. I also purchased the original version of this palette, Gingerbread Spice, last year. I knew I had to own both and the colour story is perfect for me. Although at first glance they do look similar, there are actually some differences.

The packaging is the usual tin material that the Chocolate Bar Palettes are made of and the same as last year. It is warm brown colour and has raised gingerbread men graphics on it. It has the usual magnetic opening/closing and it also contains a small mirror. It is available for £39.00 from CultBeauty.co.uk and TooFaced.com.

You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in a variety of finishes; Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Satin (S) and Glitter (G).

You also get a How-to Glamour Guide, which is included with the majority of Too Faced palettes. This guide shows you how to complete three looks using the palette; Sugar Mama, Bake & Chill, Cinnamon Toast and Spice Girl.

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 gingerbread cookies. The palette is also cruelty free but not vegan (contains Carmine).

The packaging for this palette is near enough the same as last year’s version, so cute!. The shade selection again is right up my street. The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented, smooth and blend softly, just like the last palette. They are buildable and can be used wet or dry. I would still use eye primer and glitter glue. Shimmer/metallic shades are always best applied with your finger or a stiff flat synthetic brush. The palette does have vanilla sweet scent, but I wouldn’t say that it is identifiably gingerbread cookies. My favourite shades are; Cookie Cutter, Lick The Spoon and Hot Tamale. The only disappointing shade for me is Midnight Snack. It is quite dry, chalky and it isn’t as pigmented as the other shades. It is also a flat shade and there is nothing special about it. The blue teal shimmers don’t really show up on your eye! Overall, I really enjoyed this palette and I don’t know which version is my favourite. I love and will keep both, but you probably don’t need both. I wonder what version Too Faced will come out with next year.

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),...
