Review: Too Faced Glamour To Go Palette

eyeshadow palette, Too Faced Glamour To Go Palette review

Happy Monday everyone! I realize I've been on a review high lately, and I hope you all don't mind! I have so many products that I've either received or purchased that I want to review for you all. I also finally got a new lens for my camera which takes amazing product photos, so I may be using these reviews as an excuse to play with my new camera lens (which is a 50 mm/1.8f lens for anyone wondering).

The Too Faced Glamour to Go palette retails for only $22, and you get eight eyeshadows, a blush, a bronzer, and a lip gloss. It is compact enough to throw in your purse and touch up on the go. It also has a really nicely sized mirror inside the compact. And can I just mention how much I love the packaging? Holy moly! It's completely adorable and I'm honestly surprised that this whole palette only costs $22.

There are two compartments: the one on top which reveals the eight eyeshadows, and the one on the bottom, which slides out (which you can kind of see above) which reveals the blush, bronzer, and lip gloss. The palette itself doesn't tell you the name of the shades in the palette, but if you go to Too Faced's website, it lists the names of the shadows, just in case you really love one in particular and want to purchase the full size shadow.

I've heard so many great things about the Too Faced shadow formula, but I have to see I was a bit disappointed. Some of the eyeshadows in this formula are lacking in pigmentation, and others are chalky and have a not-so-great texture. In the swatches of the shadows, I had to really build up the pigmentation to get what you see below. It wasn't pretty. I tried using these colors in an eye makeup look, and all the colors sort of meshed together. It was quite disappointing. The blush and bronzer are pretty decent, but the lip gloss is pretty frosty and way too light for me. This definitely isn't a palette I'll reach for.
