FIRST IMPRESSIONS | TOOFACED PEACH PALETTE

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Today I bring you a first impressions of a beauty product that is currently taking the community by storm; TooFaced's Peach Palette. I was gifted this palette by my beautiful friend Heather (I know, what a great friend right?) and since receiving it, I have absolutely fallen in love with it.


This particular palette was actually released back in early 2016 and was re-released later that year in December. This re-release was when the palette and it's subsequent collection really took off in the beauty community and created a huge buzz. As mentioned, with the palette's release, a whole collection of other products were created too included blushes, a glow palette and lip oils. 

Palette Overview

The palette contains 18 shades ranging from matte finishes to satin and metallic. There's a huge variety in colours within these shades too - all of which though are of course on the warmer side to fit into the overall peach theme. TooFaced say this about it:

Be sweet as a peach with these fresh-picked shades infused with the juicy scent and antioxidant-rich essence of peach. Create endless looks with 18 shades of peachy pinks, corals, bronzes, and pops of purples that will have you looking summer-fresh year-round. Includes our signature Glamour Guide with three looks to get your started.
So, the shades themselves are as follows:


Row 1:
White Peach: Matte. Light beige, yellow undertones. 
Luscious: Metallic. Medium golden brown, copper undertones.
Just Peachy: Satin. Bright, medium pink w/ gold undertones.
Bless Her Heart: Muted olive green w/ warm undertones.
Tempting: Strong deep brown w/ a black base.
Charmed I'm Sure: Matte. Medium-dark brown.


Row 2:
Nectar: Shimmer / frost. Light-medium yellow.
Cobbler: Satin. Medium brown w/ red undertones.
Candied Peach: Matte. Bright, medium coral. 
Bellini: Muted rose gold w/ a pink base.
Peach Pit: Deep brown.
Delectable: Matte w/ micro sparkle. Medium-dark plum. 


 Row 3:
 Peaches N' Cream: Matte. Light-medium yellowed peach. 
Georgia: Matte. Muted medium coral.
Caramelized: Medium, golden bronze.
Puree: Medium dark brown w/ caramel undertones.
Summer Yum: Matte. Dark, red brown.
Talk Derby To Me: Deep, blackened purple. 

Initial Thoughts:

My overall opinions on this palette are very positive. Whilst at first I didn't really get the hype surrounding this palette, since receiving and using it, I already know it's going to be one of my all time favourites. The colour collection is so versatile - there's a look for any occasion within it and you can easily go from natural to glamourous. As with most TooFaced shadows, I find these shades to be pigmented, buttery and easily bendable - they do work best with a primer and certain colours reach their full potential on a white base. As a girl with a warmer skin tone, I love how these colours look on me and I find them really flattering and wearable. If you're a TooFaced fan or just looking for a new eyeshadow palette to add to your collection, I think this is one you should definitely consider. And yes, it totally smells of peach!

You can get this palette in the UK from Debenhams or the TooFaced website, it retails at £39.00.

Do you have this palette / do you plan on getting it? What are your thoughts on it?

FOTD | Just Peachy

Hey! Today's post is another face of the day - this time featuring my current makeup obsession; the TooFaced Peach Palette. I was gifted this palette by my beautiful friend Heather and I have to say it's easily one of the best palettes I have ever owned. The colours for me are so flattering and so versatile and they really work well for my skin tone and eye colours - I think as a palette it's also one that can work for a lot of other people as well. Look out for a first impressions / review of this palette later on as well in another blog post!


So as this is of course a Peach Palette, it's safe to say that the peachy shimmers and browns have been my go to lately. I went for a smokey look with the matte browns and then added a pop of peachy shimmer to the center of the lids for a beautiful glow. I wanted to make the main focus in this look the eyes so opted for a peachy blush and pink lip to really compliment the shades on my eyes. As always, I need my fix of highlight so I went all out with Becca's Moonstone Shimmering Skin Perfector on the high points of my face.

I adore this look and have been wearing pretty routinely for the past 2-3 weeks. I've had lots of compliments specifically on the eyes so it's safe to say that the Peach Palette is a winner for me!
