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.
