Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette Review

Hello again. 

I never thought I would be the person who would want an eyeshadow palette so bad that I would stand outside of an Ulta on Mother's Day for almost 3 hours before the dang store even opened for a slight chance to purchase it. Not that I think that it is bad to do so, I just never saw myself doing so. Well, thanks to Too Faced I did exactly that. Was it worth it? Let's find out. 

The almost-impossible-to-get-your-hands-on Sweet Peach Pallette retails for $49. 



The packaging of the box is so stinking cute, which is the case with most Too Faced products. 


 I mean, come on!!! It is stunning. 


There is a healthy mix of mattes, satins and shimmers that will work with nearly all skin tones. If you are already familiar with the Too Faced formulation of eyeshadows then you will know what to expect. These shadows are stiffer than some other brands but have amazing pigmentation and last on the eyes all day with a primer. The fact that these eyeshadows contain peach essence and they really do smell and taste (don't ask how I know) like peaches just makes this palette something special. 

Let's get in to the swatches of the shadows. 


These are all one pass of the eyeshadows with no primer underneath. Not bad, eh? The shade Georgia (bottom row, second shade from the left) pretty much blends in to my skin tone but all of the others are beautiful. 

I have been wearing this palette almost every day that I wear makeup and I have loved every look I have come up with. The shadows are the same great quality that we have come to expect from Too Faced with the added bonus of the wonderful peach scent. I think that this is a fabulous neutral palette with some fun pops of color and a couple of deeper shades to create a smokier look. I do wish that the layout of the Chocolate Bar palettes had been continued in this one because I worry that I will run out of my highlight shades quickly. 

If you were not able to pick this up when it first launched have no fear! The founder of Too Faced, Jerrod Blandino, announced on his Instagram that they are working to bring back the Sweet Peach palette in the future. I think it is great that Too Faced has listened to their customers' plea to bring this palette back in stock so that everyone who would like to buy it has an opportunity to. That is almost unheard of in the cosmetics industry and makes Too Faced stand out among the rest, in my opinion. 

Overall, I think this palette was definitely worth the struggle of tracking down. I would do it all over again. I recommend this palette for lovers of neutral, peachy shades. It is a good every day palette that I know I have (and will) be reaching for quite often. 

Were you able to get your hands on this palette? Do you love it or could you leave it? If you do not have it, will you be purchasing it when it comes back in stock? Let me know your thoughts. 


XO,
