Review: Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Eyeshadow Palette! (Swatches + Looks!)

Keeping it Peachy!

Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Eyeshadow Palette

I'm back! :-)
It's been a while since I last blogged and I absolutely missed it! Even though I haven't been blogging I've been accumulating some makeup here and there so stay tuned for more reviews! Now that it's the Fall season I wanted to review a palette that seems perfect for this time of year. The Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes is an all matte palette full of gorgeous warm tones... I couldn't say no! The range of colors was very well thought out and the packaging is simply adorable (& smells likes peaches!). It retails for $45 making each eyeshadow pan less than $4 which is a great deal.

There's 11 completely matte shadows and 1 more satiny shade (Peach Sangria) but on the eye it pretty much looks matte. All of them swatched really well! The texture is pretty smooth and buttery. I've tried almost every color on my eyes and they blend really well too. I love the darker shades in this palette! I felt like the Sweet Peach palette was lacking those so I'm happy to see them in this palette.

Here's a side by side of the palettes. Some of the colors are similar but not identical so no worries there. The darker shades in the Sweet Peach are shimmery which I tend to avoid when deepening up a look so I definitely see myself reaching for the Just Peachy palette for those shades.

Here are all the shades swatched. The deeper shades are very buildable so don't be alarmed by the pigmentation in the swatch. The lighter peachy shades look amazing as transition colors! When I get ready for work I just blend one in the crease and call it a day. Simple but it makes you look like you tried haha. Here are some looks I created with the palette:

Even though I love a metallic shade on the lid there's something about an all matte look! I love how the looks came out and they lasted all day, even through a wedding, haha.

Bottom line: I'm really happy with this palette! I love the idea of an all matte palette and the fact that this one is full of warm shades it's even better. The packaging is on point (per usual with Too Faced!) and the formulation is great. Can't wait to continue to play with it this fall season! :-)

Review: Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey Palette! (Swatches + Looks!)

Cutesy and Smells Amazing!

Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey Palette
Too Faced always gets me with their packaging!! Please tell me I'm not alone, haha. I love their Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette... it's actually packed and ready to come with me on my trip to the Dominican Republic. I researched swatches of this palette before purchasing and the yellow-mustard shade called Honey Buns spoke to me! I'm a warm shadow lover but I didn't want a palette that was too similar to something I already own. Overall I feel like the looks I get and some of the shades are different enough to justify getting it! It retails for $36 and it's limited edition so if you want it go get it! :-)

I love their smaller tin palettes! They are so convenient when traveling and they get more creative with these. It goes without saying that the packaging is simply adorable!

There's nine shades total, Peanut Butter is in their Peanut Butter and Jelly but that's OK, I really love the shade. There's only one true metallic shade which is Going Nuts on the top right corner. The rest are matte or matte based with shimmers. I would've loved some more metallics shades, at least a lighter one for a lid shade.

Here are the swatches! They all feel super creamy and buttery! The formula is great and they blend so well.

Here is an all matte look I created using Peanut Butter and Honey Buns in the crease and Honey Brittle as my lid shade. I added another Too Faced product as my inner corner highlight that I should be reviewing soon so stay tuned! ;-) I love this look, it made my eyes look brighter and Honey Buns looks awesome in the crease!

Here's another look I created using Peanut Butter and Bee's Knees in the crease and Going Nuts as my lid shade for a more smokey look. Loved this look too! It was simple to create and the application was easy.

Bottom line: I'm really happy with this palette! It would've been a holy grail palette for me if it included one or two more metallic shades but other than that it's really good. If you love warm shades like I do but want something a little different this is a great option! :-)
