I believe this palette has been out for
a few years now. I had seen it online before, but Too Faced products were not
readily accessible to me at the time. I could only purchase them from
LookFantastic.com and CultBeauty.co.uk. They didn’t stock the full range of TF
products and it can take them a long time to get some of the products in. They
tend to offer the main releases, but I guess this palette wasn’t considered a
main release! The colour story attracts me, but I am not generally a fan of all
matte palettes, so I almost gave this one a miss.
THE PACKAGING
The packaging is small and compact; it
kind of reminds me of the shape of a clutch bag. It is rectangular and made of
gold plastic. It has a sort of gel covering on the front of the palette, which
is raised. It also has a white, peach and pink ombre effect design on the front
with a little peach image. It has a magnetic closing, which opens to reveal a
small mirror and the twelve eyeshadow pans. The eyeshadow pans are arranged on
a black plastic base with the shade names printed under each pan in gold all
caps lettering.

MY THOUGHTS
·
Primer/Base - The eyeshadows are pigmented enough without a primer or base, but I
would always lay one down. I used Too
Faced Shadow Insurance and Too Faced
Glitter Glue.
·
Pigmentation - The pigmentation is
pretty great, but a couple of the darker shades are a little patchy.
·
Application (wet/dry) - The eyeshadows can
be applied wet or dry. I always use mattes dry, unless I am applying them to my
lower lash line or using them as eyeliner. I sometimes apply metallics/shimmers
wet, but it depends on the formula and whether they contain glitters. Wet application
can max up the pigmentation and help prevent fallout.
·
Blending - They mostly blend seamlessly, but I
did have a spot of bother with three shades.
·
Kick-Back - Obviously, there is always going to be
kick-back in your eyeshadow pans as you are disturbing powders. The kick-back
was not a concern or issue for me in this particular palette.
·
Fallout - I didn’t notice any fallout at all.
I think the packaging is cute and I
like how compact it is. The colour story is right up my street and I do like
the light peach scent of the eyeshadows. The light to mid-tone shades blend
like a dream and looked seamless. A few of the lighter shades are a bit light
for my skin tone, but they do work well as blending out or brow bone shades. My
favourite shades are; Peach Cobbler
and Fresh-Picked. The issue I had
was that the shades; Peach Tart, Just Ripe, Peach Sangria and Chocolate
Dipped were slightly patchy and hard to blend. Chocolate Dipped was the best performing out of the four. Also, Peach Sangria is not matte, but it is
included in an all mattes palette! To be fair, it did look mostly matte on the
skin. There is a shade in the Sweet Peach Palette also called Just Peachy. I’m not sure if it is the
same shade as the one in this palette, but the formula finish is different for
it in the Sweet Peach Palette. It could be a coincidence and they could have
forgotten that they already have an eyeshadow with that name or it could be on
purpose and they just changed the finish of the shade to go with the aesthetic
for this matte palette. Overall, the majority of the shades are beautiful but
there are four duds for me. The looks I created mostly looked the same, so I
wasn’t really getting any variety. I am also not a fan of all matte looks or
palettes. I originally bought this palette because I thought I could just use
some single shimmers to pair with it, but honestly because the quality hasn’t
blown me away, I would much rather use a different palette that has all the
finishes I like! I wouldn’t really recommend this palette as there are cheaper
options available that will be better quality. The drugstore tends to have a
lot of all matte quads, which would give you the same look as you would get
from this palette. I do like the overall aesthetic, but it is just a no from
me!
