First of all, shout out to Sinead from The Beautiful Truth for introducing me to the Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette. She’s costing me a fortune every day since I clicked “like” on Facebook, all those years ago, but she sure does know what she’s talking about when it comes to makeup!
I’ve never done a blog post on a single product but this is an exception. I’m obsessed with this palette, and even though I must have every eyeshadow palette worth having (honestly!), this is by far my favourite and here’s why.
Presentation
The eyeshadows are packaged in a tin container. It doesn’t really close, each side of the tin just sits on top of each other. As in there’s no clasp or magnet. I thought this would be problematic, especially since I do my makeup in the car every day. I thought the palette might open in my makeup bag and the eyeshadows might smash, but no tragedies as of yet.
Pigmentation & Texture
The most beautiful, blendable and pigmented eyeshadows I’ve ever tried. They’re so creamy (rather than powdery) and they blend like butter! They’re really long-lasting too! Usually when an eyeshadow is really blendable, it doesn’t last as long.
As I said, I don’t believe there’s a brand of eyeshadow I haven’t tried and I’m telling you this is the best palette out there. Anastasia Beverley Hills, Blank Canvas, MAC, Zoeva, ELF Cosmetics, Flormar, Chanel, Dior, you name it, I’ve tried it! Although, I was late to the INGLOT party, and only recently purchased some eyeshadows on my most recent trip to Poland! Did you know INGLOT is half the price there? Read more about that here.
Colours in the Sweet Peach Palette
There isn’t a colour in this palette that I don’t wear. Even the nude, neutral colours have a beautiful peach hue. I own some palettes with 12 to 14 eyeshadows and I wear 3 of them. Such a waste of money!
Every single time I wear this palette, I’m asked on my Snapchat (livelavishlycom) what is on my eyes. Since my eyes are green, the peach tones really make them pop.
The colours are so versatile, I wear them to work and on nights out. There are 18 colours in total, and since there is a mix of matte and shimmer shadows, you can create a natural look, a smokey dramatic look and everything in between. For this reason, I bring it travelling everywhere with me!

Price
The Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette costs around €47. Considering you get 18 high quality eyeshadows, all of which are wearable, it is worth every penny. I purchased this palette in March of this year, I use it every day, and it shows no signs of hitting pan yet.
If I’ve sold this palette to you, pick it up the next time you see it, they sell out regularly, especially during the Spring/Summer months. Honestly, you need it!
I bought mine online from Debenhams, you can buy it here. If you purchase the palette, I’d love to hear your thoughts below, on Facebook, Instagram or, my personal favourite, Snapchat (livelavishlycom).
P.S. Did I mention, it smells like peaches!!!
I’ve been waiting with baited breath for this blog post… You know how much I want this palette…. Why won’t somebody buy it for me
