Quick Post: Beauty Review

Recently I broke down and bought the Too Faced Sweet Peach Eye Shadow Palette. I had been going back and forth on whether to purchase it or not as it is quite pricey ($49) and has had a slew of mixed reviews. I went looking for a smaller palette with similar colors and despite being spring, I just couldn't find any with peach and pinks that I wanted. So, knowing I had a coupon, I went ahead and bit the bullet. Luckily, for me, Ulta almost always has some deal where you get a gift with purchase and just my luck it was a travel size of the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara that is my absolutely favorite!

I have tried this palette a couple of times now. Here are my thoughts:

1. It has absolutely beautiful colors.
2. It does NOT work well without an eyeshadow primer.
3. If you do not use a shadow primer, the color instantly fades and you are left with practically nothing in a few hours, especially if you use the lighter shades.
4. I use the NYX white eyeshadow base. With this primer the colors of this palette pop in a gorgeous way. They blend really well with this primer and I am finally getting a chance to explore accents with the darker colors in the palette.
5. There seem to be a lot of shimmers, but really there aren't. There are a couple shadows that are extremely glittery, but the other non-matte colors are just a tad bit of shimmer; almost still matte.
6. IT SMELLS LIKE PEACHES!

The bottom line is if you are looking for colors that are in this palette, use a good eyeshadow primer, and can afford the price tag, I highly suggest it. If you don't think you will use all of the colors, don't bother. I am definitely enjoying this palette, but the range of colors was exactly what I was looking for. It smells heavenly and looks gorgeous on. Just use a primer!!
