Makeup Review: Sweet Peach Palette

Welcome back to my little blog!

❤

I’m finally posting my thoughts about Toofaced Cosmetics ‘Sweet Peach’ Palette which actually launched last March and is now here to stay! *queue cheers*

If you haven’t picked one up yet or on the fence about purchasing one maybe my quick review can help you decide!

Many thanks to Sephora & Toofaced Cosmetics for their partnership!

PROS:

Amazing smell – As we should all know, or if you didn’t already know the actual shadows smell like PEACHES! This palette is infused with a peach essence which gives us that amazing smell. 

Cute Packaging – I’ve always admired Toofaced Cosmetics packaging. It’s always so durable compared to other brands. Similar to the Chocolate bar palettes, I believe it’s shell is made of plastic with a magnet to keep it shut. It also comes with a mirror, which I think is a very important feature to have in an eyeshadow palette – many artists use the mirrors for their clients and for themselves!

Very Pigmented – I’m unsure if they formulated the shadows a bit differently compared to the Chocolate Palettes BUT the PIGMENT PAYOFF is amazeballs. Very soft, and quite easy to blend!

CONS:

I’ve been trying to think long and hard about some cons but it’s honestly VERY hard – the best one I can think of is: COLOR CHOICES/COLOR SCHEME. I personally love IT, BUT there are a couple of similar colors within the palette. (i.e ‘cobbler’ | ‘caramelized’) obviously IN the palette the colors seem to look different but once applied on the skin, you can barely tell a difference – this is considered a CON for me, because I want DIFFERENT colors and I WANT them to appear different on my lid. It really bothers me, when palettes have similar colors and once applied on the lid/skin it isn’t apparent which colors are which unless their labeled.

This palette is one of the few on the market that have a nice ‘olive’ shade (bless her heart) which is nice. Olive is one of my favorite colors so I love the fact it was included in this palette. ALTHOUGH I would’ve personally enjoyed a color scheme that included orange-golden-yellow shades. Mainly because peaches aren’t ACTUALLY pink I feel as if Toofaced tailored their ‘peach’ line to a PINK/CORAL color scheme.

google images – note the true colors of a peach

NOW DO NOT get me wrong – I love the color scheme… I just wanted to point out the actual palette and its color scheme doesn’t scream PEACH to me, the smell does.

ALTHOUGH, THIS could be a Toofaced marketing tactic – having a not-s0 peach color scheme BUT instead marketing the smell of peaches. (who knows?)
