Sephora Loves Too Faced Palette Swatches & Review

Hey everyone! So I bought this palette about a month ago and have been using it a lot to collect my thoughts and test out every product. This palette retails for $52.00 at Sephora and is worth an estimated $245.00 value. I must say, this palette contains a lot of product. There are 10 eyeshadows, 2 bronzers, 1 blush, a mini kabuki brush, a sample of Too Faced Shadow Insurance and a packet of makeup looks using this palette. This is the first item that I have purchased from Too Faced so I was happy that I got to not only try their eyeshaddows, but also the other products included. This is a great palette for traveling because it is compact tin container with a magnetic closure that carries product on both the top and bottom of the palette.

The box that the palette comes in has the same design as the palette itself on the front, and on the back shows all of the products that come in the palette with a cute little message about the 15 year anniversary of Too Faced.

I absolutely love the iconic black and white Sephora stripes on the front with the Too Faced overlay. Too Faced never seems to skimp out on the packaging and this is no exception. 

 When you go to open this palette you will see a top eye layer and a bottom face layer separated with a piece of plastic that you should defiantly keep so that the eyeshadows don't mix with the blush and bronzers.

Piano Keys, Behind the Counter, So Cal, Soho

TF <3's the Cast, Envy, Jer Jer, David & Marg 

525 Market, 1998

This palette comes with a full array of colors to go from neutral to bold with a few brush strokes. There is only one truly matte shade which is Behind the Counter; Soho has a very slight sheen. 1998 and Piano Keys have glitter and all the others have a satin finish.The three shadows that stood out the most were 525 Market, Envy and Jer Jer. These are hands down the most pigmented and smooth. Piano Keys disappointed me the most because it was chalky and has a lot of fallout. Behind the Counter was sheer as well when I swatched it but when I used it on my eyes it worked fine and was buildable. The other shades all worked well and had good pigmentation. TF <3's the Cast is washed out in this photo and is a light green and not a silver as it appears to be.

Chocolate Soleil Bronzer (concentrated & blended out)

 

Sun Bunny Bronzer (top of bronzer, bottom of bronzer, mixed, mixed blended out)

When you open this palette the smell of chocolate hits you in the face. The Chocolate Soleil Bronzer is the product I was most excited about trying. It is made with real cocoa powder and is very smooth. It is a matte bronzer with no trace of orange in it and is great for lighter skin tones. The Sun Bunny Bronzer is a little bit darker and shimmery. The top shade of the bronzer could also work as a highlight for darker skin tones. This is great for giving you a sun kissed glow but I wouldn't contour with it because of the shimmer. 

Who's Your Poppy? Blush (concentrated, blended out)

 I was really impressed with this blush! It is very pigmented and smooth. This is a peachy-pink with golden shimmer and have heard it resembles Orgasm blush by Nars. This is my go-to for glowy skin. As far as the brush goes, it's not the best quality but it gets the job done if you need it.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

I wasn't very impressed with the eye primer included because I did notice creasing after 4-5 hours. I personally have very oily eyelids so even my Urban Decay Primer Potion creases on my but I noticed more with this primer. If your eyelids are not very oily this should work fine on you.

The palette also comes with nine cards containing 15 looks (see a pattern with the number 15?). One side of the cards has more neutral looks and the other side contains bolder night-time looks.

Final Thoughts: I am happy with the palette and very glad I bought it. The product in here defiantly exceeds the $52.00 I spent on it. I got to try out a bunch of different things and have an idea of what I like and dislike about Too Faced. Only a couple of they eyeshadows let me down but the rest was amazing. I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of this and I recommend it to anyone who is new to the brand or wants to get a really good value.
