TOO FACED - PB&J PALETTE

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

This is the newest palette from Too Faced, and I'm in love. I've been eyeing this one off on Instagram for months, and knew from the moment that I first saw it that I had to have it. I'll admit, this one was a little bit of an impulse buy, and a wee bit because of how cute this pallet is! 

'Inspired by the social media sensation that is Peanut Butter from our bestselling Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Collection, we created this limited edition peanut butter palette of nine gorgeous matte and shimmer shades feature antioxidant-rich cocoa powder with a creamy peanut butter twist!'.

Packaging

Just check out how adorable this packaging is!

Too Faced have gone the extra mile with this palette and created stunning packaging that resembles a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Genius! 

The palette packaging is metal, with a magnetic clasp which we're loving. There is a mirror provided inside for beauties on the go. Did I mention that it has a beautiful chocolate-peanut butter smell to it? Too Faced, you are making my sensory dreams come true!

Check out that cardboard packaging! Ugh, I'm in love!

Formula & Pigmentation

During my obsessive instagraming PB&J phase, I initially thought that this palette was comprised of beautiful browns and awesome purples. BIG NOPE. As I found out today, this palette is comprised of orange and purple shades. Oh well. No time like the present to begin experimenting with orange shadows.

The shadows are all highly pigmented and have a great pay off, however I did find them difficult to build up and blend which is disappointing considering the rave reviews that Too Faced palettes receive. 

Too Faced were even sweet enough to include a booklet with the palette which demonstrates three different looks to try out using the PB&J palette

Here's another picture, just because I'm obsessed with how cute PB&J is!

Press a pretty pop of Jelly in the inner corners of the eye for a colourful, unexpected twist!'

Affordability & Retailers

Priced at $58.00 AUD, this palette includes nine eye-shadow colours representing a PB&J sandwich and smells just like PB&J. How cute! Unfortunately this cutie is a Limited Edition release and sold out within two days of being launched in Australia! At this stage Mecca are unsure if there will be a restock, but keep your eyes peeled by checking here!

Final Verdict

I primarily brought this pallet just because of how cute it is, and because I wanted a travel size palette to be able to take with me when I'm travelling Because let's be honest, the UD Naked Palette isn't exactly small and travel friendly. I think PB&J has a lot of potential, and I'll need to leave my comfort zone to fully reap the benefits of all of the beautiful colours in this palette. If there is a re-release, I would recommend that it be snapped up if you're comfortable playing around with oranges and purples. Not browns.

I would recommend to anyone who wants to have a bit of fun with their look, whilst enjoying the amazing smell and cuteness that is PB&J.
