The Hunt for Sweet Peach
Securing the Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette proved more challenging than anticipated. Its initial release was plagued by website crashes and immediate sell-outs across various retailers like Ulta and Sephora. I had to resort to using the Ulta app to snag one, beating the rush on their website. The scarcity definitely dampened my initial excitement.
The online frenzy surrounding the palette’s launch highlighted its immense popularity, creating a sense of urgency and frustration for many eager buyers. This experience, however, unintentionally lowered my expectations before even opening the palette.
Palette Overview and Packaging
The Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette boasts 18 eyeshadows, each weighing 0.03 oz. This size is a happy medium, neither too tiny nor overly large. The packaging is undeniably charming, a thin tin with a magnetic closure and the shade names printed neatly inside. The included mirror is a practical addition.
The standard Too Faced look card is included, adding a touch of brand consistency. The overall aesthetic is undeniably appealing and fits perfectly with Too Faced's signature style, which is a key selling point for many customers.
Swatches and Shade Comparisons
The palette offers a diverse range of shades, from light peaches and creams to deeper, more intense hues. I've included swatches to showcase the pigmentation and texture of each shade, allowing for easier comparison with other Too Faced palettes like the original Chocolate Bar, Semi-Sweet, and Bon Bon.
The comparison shots highlight the similarities and differences in shade ranges across these palettes. This provides a helpful visual reference for those considering purchasing the Sweet Peach palette and want to see how it stacks up against other options in the Too Faced collection.
Performance and Texture
While the palette's pigmentation is generally good, some shades, particularly the mattes, require layering for optimal intensity. The shades are buildable and blendable, but they lack the vibrant payoff I expected. Some shades are more subtle than the marketing suggests.
The texture of certain shades feels slightly stiffer than other palettes I’ve used, possibly affecting the ease of blending. The palette also features a pleasant, albeit unique peach scent that I describe as more akin to a gummy candy than a fresh peach.
Eye Makeup Look and Final Thoughts
The video showcases a makeup look created using the Sweet Peach palette. The tutorial demonstrates the application and blending techniques for different shades. The final look is soft, pretty, and very wearable, but maybe less bold than expected.
While the palette is undeniably cute and has a good shade range, the performance was a little underwhelming. The lack of vibrant color payoff and slightly stiff texture were notable drawbacks. The packaging is a major plus, but overall, the performance needs improvement. For those seeking a very vibrant, high impact palette this might not be your best option. Other Too Faced palettes may offer similar shades with a more pronounced color payout
