TOOFACEI know this is a super late review for something limited edition that came out for the 2013 holiday season, but it is entirely too cute not to give it it’s time in the spotlight! I received this as a Christmas gift and I was so impressed I wanted to share it with you guys.

The Too Faced A Few Of My Favorite Things palette has pretty much everything you need for for both super casual and fun night out looks. It has 20 different shadows with a great selection of neutrals and bolds. It does a really great job of being evenly balanced between the two. I also like that it has both velvety mattes and sparkly shimmers. For the most part these are highly pigmented and super easy to work with. I think both beginners and eyeshadow pros would like this palette. Same with both warm and cool toned beauties. The neutrals might just be some of the best selection of neutrals I’ve seen in any big palette and the splashy vibrant colours are both fun and entirely wearable. Really there’s something for everyone here, and that something is the whole damn thing.
The palette also includes really awesome blushes and a bronzer. I am really picky about blush shades, being as pale as I am a lot of colours just tend of overwhelm and look ridiculous. These are both nicely pigmented and yet subtle if you apply it with a soft hand. The colours are very easily build-able though if you are one of the lucky ones that can take a lot of colour. I would have still been pleased even if they had just given us all these awesome eyeshadows and blushes and left it at that, but they also give us a travel sized version of Better Than Sex mascara (it’s not better than sex but it’s better than a lot of mascaras out there) and a Lip Injection crayon. They didn’t even stop there though, as you can see in the pictures it includes a large zip travel bag that is actually amazingly cute and en trend (I was so impressed/thankful it was not a heinous floral throw away number like a lot of free bags are).toofacedpackage

toofacedsdjkfhMy swatches are so awful, I don’t know why my arm eats makeup but it really does not show an accurate representation of how pretty these shades actually are. I’m going to link you to Temptalia because she’s the Queen of swatches and her photos are spot on with their actual colour. Out of the twenty eyeshadows I am only disappointed in Party Time. After swiping on Blue Satin Sashes and being blown away and the amazing colour payoff I reached for Party Time with similar expectations and, ugh. It has very little pigment and is a chalky glittery mess. Other than that single misfire, this palette hit all the marks for me!

Sadly, it’s sold out online at Sephora, however I know my local Sephora does still have this in stock. If this palette really strikes you it would be worth making a call to see if your nearest Sephora still has some in store as well. Who knows, you might just luck out and get your hands on one.

I’m going to give the Too Faced A Few Of My Favourite Things palette 4 turtles out of 5. It’s a great compilation filled with hits and almost no B-sides.
