Ohhh Too Faced. If I were a billionaire I would buy everything they have come out with. I love this brand and was sooooo excited when I received this as a gift from a good friend.
The packaging for this is typical of Too Faced - ADORABLE. This is the size of an iPhone 5 case - which makes sense because the back of the palette is actually a case you can use for your iPhone 5! The case I got is super cute. It is pink with metallic gold chevron all down it and Too Faced in metallic gold.
The front of the case flips up to reveal the shadows, bronzer and blush. The size and weight of this makes it ideal for travel and the fact that it has 11 shadows, a bronzer and a blush is perfect. The shades don't have names so I will number them below, going from left to right. Most of the shadows are creamy and pigmented but I will mention where they aren't below.
1. This is a matte black with tiny purple reflects. 2. Is a sheer cream/champagne metallic. This is less pigmented. 3. A stunning rose gold metallic shade. This is one of my faves. 4. A less pigmented burned gold. 5. A semi pigmented matte pink. 6. A true purple with tiny silvery/purple reflects. 7. A super metallic gold 8. A matte deep brown 9. A deep teal with tiny silver reflects 10. A matte white shade 11. A matte cream shade. The bronzer is a gorgeous bronze colour that has a sheen to it. There are no shimmers however.
The blush is a bright pink shade but isn't super pigmented so there is no risk of clown face.
I love this palette and take it with me when I travel. It is easy to use, there are plenty of looks you can create with it and I love that there are vibrant pops of colour. If you can get your hands on it I definitely recommend it!
I have just taken this away for a 6 day holiday as my only eye shadow palette/bronzer option. This performed really well and there are some definite favourites in this set! The most used shadows in the set for me were the three bronze/gold shades (top right and the two bottom left shades). These applied beautifully and lasted all day on me. The other sparkliesh shades I was not as big on, however the brown and the black were useful for deepening the crease and for use on the outer V of the eye. Unfortunately the large matte white shadow and the large taupe shadow were pretty poorly pigmented and required a lot of application to get a colour payoff; however the taupe was helpful for blending. The bronzer in this set is very sparkly which may not be everyone's cup of tea. I don't use a lot of bronzer and this is not overly pigmented so I found this to be quite nice lightly dusted on the cheekbones. The blush is again not overly pigmented which is quite handy in a blush so you don't go straight into clown territory. It is a beautiful hot pink which was flattering on my pale skin. I absolutely love the ability to have so many products in the cutest small packaging- definitely made for a lighter travel load for me. At a sale price I would absolutely recommend to a friend. I would prefer if there were a couple more matte crease shades (with a bit more pigmentation) for this to be an absolute winner for me.
