NEW Too Faced Love Palette- Review and Swatches

Too Faced Love Palette 

My all-time favorite eye shadow palette and the only palette I have ever hit pan on is the original Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette. I absolutely love Too Faced formula of their eye shadows and I usually pick up most of their palettes. So, of course I had to get their new Love Palette and I am here today to share my thoughts!

Without a doubt, the packaging is super cute and fun. It has the theme of Love Letters and automatically makes me think about Nicholas Sparks! I love Nicholas Sparks and Too Faced so I had to have this palette! So it’s a given I love the look of the palette but what about the actual product? For starters this palette comes with 15 different shades with different finishes, which include matte, pearl, and shimmer finishes and comes with a full sized black waterproof eyeliner. You can purchase this on HSN, Too Faced, Ulta, or Sephora websites and it retails for $49 It should be hitting stores around July 15th. 

Inside of palette

The eye shadows are very detailed with heart textures and come in three different polygons, with of course 5 shadows in each. The names of each section are Pure Love, True Love, and Forbidden Love. I feel each section can create different looks from day to night and have an arrangement of colors, something for your lid, crease, and highlight. You can mix and match from each section to come up with a ton of looks! As always, Too Faced has added a Glamour Guide that can help you create looks. I personally just make up my own looks and never use the guides, but they are good to have if you’re just beginning or want to try something new.

Glamour Guides 

The packaging is very sturdy and strong but does feel a bit heavy. There is a large mirror inside the palette and behind the mirror is where the Glamour Guides are stored. They have different looks for each section.  I love this change they made, helps keep you more organized and keeps the glamour guides free from dirt and eyeshadow residue. The names of the eye shadow colors are on the bottom of the palette for easy reference. I really like this concept, it is way better than how they had the Chocolate Bar Palette with the clear sheet.

I appreciate how Too Faced included the full size black water proof eyeliner and I have enjoyed using it! I am an Urban Decay eyeliner girl and only thing I use on my water line but for the last week I have been using this Too Faced eyeliner and it works well. It is an intense dark black color which is right up my ally! One side of the eyeliner has the actual product and the other side a smudger. The eyeliner stays in place all day under my waterline, but actually inside my waterline it did get patchy and I had to reapply it at least once threw out the day. I had no irritation and the color intensity is beautiful. The eyeliner is creamy and the smudger worked nicely under my waterline. I don’t think I would replace my UD eyeliner with this one but I am happy to have it added to my collection and a nice backup.

Now on to the fun part the actual eyeshadows!

Section one- Pure Love

Dearest- beautiful yellow-gold shade

Cherish- soft champagne shade with shimmer

Desire-love this for crease color and blending, it’s the perfect browny color

Amorous- great shade to smoke out any look, a deep brownish black color, very buildable

Adore- bronzed orange shade, absolutely stunning!

The waterprood eyeliner is also pictured in the swatch as you can see it is a very dark bold black 

Unedited swatches colors are from bottom to top- Dearest, Cherish, Desire, Amorous, Adore 

Section Two- True Love

Passion-purple/mauve gray toned color

Smitten- a light baby pink but this shade was very powdery for me and not much color payoff.  When applied almost blended completely away.

Romance- another great crease and blending shade, beautiful taupe color

Obsessed- this is my favorite shade out of the palette, while in the pan it looks lighter then Amorous it is actually darker and great pigmentation. It is a rich brown with specs of a variety colors. I am literally obsessed with this color!

Sweetie Pie- very pretty bubble gum pink shade

 

Unedited swatches colors are from top to bottom- Passion, Smitten,,Romance, Obsessed, Sweetie Pie

Section Three-Forbidden Love

Darling- medium green/gold color, this is the color that caught my eye in the palette. I like how this color has a lot of dimension to it and how the different light catches different colors.

Devotion- this color is truly unique, the color in the pan looks like a light shimmery gold but once on your eyelid or swatched it is like a mix of a sliver, gold and white. Stunning as a highlight

Puppy Love- another taupe brown color but this one has more shimmer to it

Ever Lasting- deep brown color but I can see specs of green in this shade

XOXO-this could have been a beautiful color if it would show up on my eyelid, this is the only shade I had issues with it is a very faint iridescent peach/orange shade

Unedited swatches colors are from bottom to top- Darling, Devotion, Puppy Love, Everlasting, XOXO

How cute are the names of the actual eye shadows?! The eye shadows are creamy, soft and easy to blend. They have a lot of pigmentation and long lasting. My only issue is there are so many shimmery shades. I would have liked to see some more matte colors in the palette. All of the shades on the lower part of the sections are probably my favorite and while not extremely pigmented they are buildable. I found myself using those shades the most for creating a smokey eye and smoking out my bottom lash line. The two colors that I had issues with are Smitten and XOXO, neither of these came off very vibrant on my eyelid. Some of the shadows come off a little powdery in the pan but I personally did not experience any fallout from any of the eye shadows when applying them to my eyelid. I like how Too Faced mixed up this palette with neutral and darker shades, then added in some fun colors! The green color Darling is just that DARLING! It is stunning and will be great to use in fall. As always, I use a primer when applying the eyeshadows, usually my Mac Paint Pot and the eye shadows didn’t budge all day long. There was slight fading but I did not have to reapply. I do want to point out that all of these eye shadows are extremely buildable, while they may not come off vibrant when you first apply the shadows, adding several layers creates a bold color.

I think I will reach for this palette a lot! While using the Love Paleete I did not add any other palette in. I was able to create looks without adding in other eye shadows from various palettes or single eye shadows. There are enough colors to make a large variety of looks. Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase and pleased with Too Faced!
