First Impressions: Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly Palette
18:00:00
When I got an email from MECCA.com.au saying that I had an
exclusive early access to the newest Too Faced release, I knew I just had to
pick it up.
The Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly eyeshadow palette was
inspired by the Peanut Butter shade from the famous Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette. Apparently it is a beautiful transition/crease shade (unfortunately I
only own the original Chocolate Bar Palette) – but now that I own this palette
I can see what all the fuss is about.
The palette is a little smaller than I imagined it would be – I have
no idea why I pictured it bigger?? It contains 9 eyeshadows in total with 3
being matte (Extra Creamy, Peanut Butter & Nuts About U) and 6 shimmer/metallic (Spread the Love, Bananas, Peanut Butter Cup, Peanut Brittle, Jammin’ &
Jelly) and with a total product weight of 11.4g. (3 x 2g and 6 x 0.9g).
Priced at $58 it works out you are paying $5.08/g of shadow
compared with $78 for the Chocolate Bar Palette which has 17.6g of product, which
equals $4.43/g of product. A price difference of $0.65/g.
Spread the Love – Medium Peach with Gold Sparkle
Bananas – Soft Peach with fine Gold Shimmer
Extra Creamy – Matte Creamy Beige
Peanut Butter – Matter Medium Orange Brown
Peanut Butter Cup – Metallic Golden Bronze with Gold Sparkle
Peanut Brittle – Metallic Burnt Orange
Jammin’ – Dark Chocolate with Golden Sparkle
Jelly – Vibrant Orchid
Nuts About U – Matte Brown with Red
Overall I am super happy so far with the gorgeous palette - I can't wait to have a play around and create a few looks with this and let you know my final thoughts about it. Also this palette smells AMAZING! It smells like Reece's Peanut Butter Cups - a favourite of mine! Yum!
Will you be picking this up when it gets released? Or are you holding out for the Sweet Peach Palette??

The swatches of this palette look amazing!!! I am happy that I took the plunge and bought it although I recognize it was a bit of an unnecessary purchase. I can't wait to use mine!

Yay! I can't wait to see what looks you come up with Sarah!!
DeleteI am Peanut Butter & Jealous of your purchase. Looks amazeballs <3 I couldn't justify it for the price right now, need to spend my money on boring adult things like bond and furniture -_- Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you for a pinch!

Boo to being an adult! You don't need furniture.. ha you can sit on the floor right? ;)
DeleteThat Peanut Brittle shade is gorgeous! I decided to skip this because the shades are a bit warm for me but it swatches out lovely. Great post :)

I think Peanut Brittle would have to be one of my favourite shades in the palette! Its so gorgeous! I adore warm shades so its perfect for me! Thanks for reading! x
DeleteSince I got the Mecca email I have been undecided on purchasing this! I think it is a little unnecessary for me at the moment but also a little too much on the warm side for me. I think I'll take the plunge with the Peach Palette though, I can't wait for that one! xx

Too Faced is the cutest brand! They always put so much effort into their products/packaging!! Thanks for stopping by!! x
DeleteI totally wish they had these in store so I could smell it haha! My friend bought it though so I'll have to pop over for a swatch and sniff! I was a little tempted by this but I must say I'm saving for the Peach palette! The shades in here are so gorgeous though!

The peach palette looks so nice! I will most prob buy it too! ha I think this would make a great travel palette! Its quite small and compact and has a good warm shade range - which I love! xx
DeleteOoo I have to say I love Peanut Butter, and its crazy how this truly does smell like a Reeces Peanut Butter Cup. haha. I wonder if I would get sick of the smell after a while......
