| 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.

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

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

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

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!
