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.

You get twelve 1.25g eyeshadows in their Comfort Matte Technology™ finish.

EXTRAS
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 look’s using the palette; Peach Day Dream, Peach After Dark and Preach, Peach!.
 
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!
 
You can purchase the Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Palette for £35.00 from TooFaced.co.uk.

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

Old Flame - warm rusty orange Camp Fire - burnt sienna These creamy matte liquid lipsticks are mean’t to be rich in colour, long wearing and dry down to a velvety, comfortable and matte finish. You should exfoliate your lips prior to application and avoid consuming oily/greasy foods once applied. You can purchase them for £18.00 ($18.00) each from DoseofColors.com and BeautyBay.com. They are also cruelty-free and vegan. My First Impressions The packaging is like the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks and the actual formula of the DOC liquid lipsticks kind of reminds me of the JSC ones too. The formula is more of a cream rather than liquid, unlike the JSC’s ones. The formula comes out kind ...
