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.

EXTRAS

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!

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...

Morphe X Jaclyn Hill Volume II Palette

This palette has been out for a while now and I did purchase it a while ago, but I have only just decided to really play with it. Morphe palettes in general put me off because of the size of them, no shade names, boring packaging and too many shades in some palettes. The colour story of this palette in particular is really attractive to me. I didn’t buy Volume I as I didn’t want to jump on the band wagon, the size of the packaging and the colour story is just boring to me. I did pick up the Vault Collection (four palettes) and what a massive disappointment it was too (now decluttered)!! I was initially put off this palette due to my past experiences, but the colour story though! Also, a good thing about the Morphe website is that you can always get 10% off your order with an affiliate code.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is a quite large thin rectangular shape. It is made out of glossy white cardboard and it has the branding and information printed in metallic silver font on the fro...

Anastasia Beverly Hills X Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

This palette became a cult favourite in the beauty sphere when it was first released as a limited edition product in collaboration with Nicole Guerriero (Beauty Influencer on YouTube), and there have been many calls to bring it back. In 2020, Anastasia Beverly Hills finally listened after three long years! I only actually heard about this palette after it had completely sold out and was no longer available. I must have been living under a rock at some point during 2017, because I completely missed this product! I am glad I finally got the chance to get my hands on this palette and I have heard nothing but raving reviews. There are six metallic highlighter shades, which should be highly luminous. They have a refined formula that should deliver buildable coverage with a smooth finish. The shades were created to flatter all skin tones and they can be applied anywhere on the face, eyes, lips and body. The palette is cruelty-free and vegan. You can purchase the palette for £42.00 (...
