Packaging: kfnsbhr Just omg as if the packaging is not enough to make you want this palette! I adore the gold glitter, the black ribbons, the writing, just everything. It is very sturdy & compact enough for traveling, and not as long but as wide as the Naked palettes to give you an idea of size. It comes with a decent sized mirror, too.
Texture: There are two matte & 8 shimmery shadows, & a couple with hints of glitter. They are similar to the Urban Decay Naked palette shadows, buttery smooth but not crumbly unlike how Stila shadows can be.
Pigmentation: The swatches down below do not have a base & are only two swipes so you can see just how pigmented everything is. The matte cream colour is a little bit chalky but once under a base it comes up nicely. You probably could survive without a base & have them last all day, too.
Colours: There is a great selection of more neutral, blending colours to duochrome & dramatic colours so you can create different looks, but the selection is best for those who prefer colour & drama.

Swatches
L-R 1st Row: Dainty, Charming, Girly, Totally Fetch, Miss Sparkles
2nd: Ringleader, Gangsta, Instigator, Badass, Jailbird
Faves: Totally Fetch, Badass, Jailbird. Unfortunately Girly turns out more brown than green & when Miss Sparkles is patted on top of a sticky base the sparkles show up more.Unfortunately to Australians Too Faced is harder to come by, but please share if you know of any websites. You can get this palette from Kit Cosmetics for $59.95 which isn't too bad of a price, I've found this palette on the American eBay for around $45 & it's still on the Sephora website for $46 if you are keen to use a USA address forwarding website. (I've considered it for something else but still unsure of them).
Edit: Thanks Mishelle for letting me know you can also get this off of Beautybay for $66.50 with free shipping.
What do you think of this palette? I'll definitely be doing lots of looks with this in the future!

I have been eyeing off this palette so much lately, Jailbird is such a pretty colour! It's still on stock with beautybay.com with free shipping which isn't too bad!
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot about Beauty bay! Thanks for the heads up, updating for sure! xx
DeleteI have been eyeing this palette lately on the Sephora website, but I just wasn't sure whether or not I should get it. The pigmentation looks phenomenal, and I too am head over heals for the packaging. Maybe I will check this out next time I'm making an order.I like Gangsta and Jailbird most, I think!

You should definitely check it out, I don't think theres a fault with this palette! xx
DeleteThe shades in this palette look so pretty! If only Too Faced is stocked here in Australia.
ReplyDeleteI know it's a shame, but then the prices would be jacked up as well! xx
DeleteI wanted to say something earlier, but I signed up for a forwarding service before, it was a horrible experience. Do you love palettes? Hehe ;)
ReplyDeleteReally, how so? I'm kinda not game enough, they're quite confusing. Yess of course I do but I feel like I have too many to use regularly! haha
DeleteGirly is such an interesting shade. So pretty xx
ReplyDeleteThe shades are gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteI'm buying this soon for a swap & can't wait to see what she thinks of it
It's a gorgeous palette! I wanted it when I first saw it cause it's so pretty but have been holding back cause I know I don't need it.
ReplyDeletehaha i agree with your opinion on the packaging. i gotta say good packaging is one of my weakness. unfortunately it is also hard to find this brand in my country :(
ReplyDeleteToo faced is also hard to find here, so I was happy it was released while I was in the states! xx
DeleteSo many pretty colors! I love the packaging as well :)

No problem, thanks for your comment! The packaging is just to die for, if I could I would bring it around with me to whip it out in public hehe xx
DeleteI bought this palette for my friend but was soooo tempted to get it for myself. The color are SO pretty ESPECIALLY THAT GOLD AHH but I have a serious problem with collecting similar gold eyeshadows so I figured I'd hold out on it hahah!
