Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Palette

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!

Review: Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil

This was the second eyebrow pencil I had ever tried because I wanted something that was inexpensive and maybe had an applicator with it. The product just looks like an eyeliner pencil, but on the side of the cap there is a grooming brush. The cap colour reflects the actual product colour. To apply it, you take off the cap and put it on the end of the pencil. You then just fill in your eyebrows like you would normally, just add more pressure to the pencil if you want a darker look. You can then turn the pencil upside down and use the brush. The formula is really soft and you can tell it has some wax built in to it. You get 1.4g of product and the shade I have is 002 Hazel , which is a light honey brown shade. This brow pencil is supposed to be brilliant for filling the gaps in your brows and great for lengthening your arc for a natural look. The colour should be long wearing and smudge-proof and the brush applicator should make it easy for you to groom and shape. I ...

Serial Sampler #33

I once sent off for a perfume sample from Lancôme on Facebook and periodically they still send me samples of their new perfume releases. I received this one a while ago (ages after it first launched), but I have only just got around to testing it.   It is Idôle by Lancôme and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   Launched: 2019   Type: Floral Notes Top: Pear and Bergamot. Middle: Turkish Rose, Rose de Mai and Indian Jasmine. Base: White Musk and Vanilla. It is a really light spring time floral scent. It isn’t too mature smelling and it is not overpowering. It reminds me of the Gucci Flora and Hugo Boss Ma Vie perfumes a little. I can really smell the Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Musk notes. It is a fresh floral scent and would be good for day time wear. I do really like it, although it isn’t my typical choice of scent. I personally won’t be buying a bottle of it, but I would recommend it and buy it for someone as a gift.   You can purchase the L...

Review: Travalo Classic

I was sorting through some old pictures in my blog folder on my computer and I came across some Travalo pictures I took, and remembered I was mean’t to do a post about it. So better late than never, I am going to share with you how to use it and what I think. About the Travalo The Travalo is a small and handy perfume atomiser that allows you to decant a small amount of your favourite perfume into the tube and carry it with you, so you don’t have to carry around the bottle. It is made of strong, light aluminium and is 80mm in size and holds 4ml of liquid, which is approximately fifty sprays. It is also a “perfectly” rounded shape, which means there are no corners, so you don’t have to worry about it ripping your handbag, purse and pockets or scratching any furniture and surfaces. How to Use It If you want to decant some perfume to put in the Travalo you need to: 1. Take the spray cap off the perfume bottle 2. Get your Travalo and hold it upright over the spray s...
