Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette



The new Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette has been in heavy rotation for me since it’s release, and I’ve yet to finish an eye look unhappy! The shimmers are glorious (especially wet!) the mattes blend easily and the colors work with each other so well! Highly recommend if you like color!


I’ve swatched a few shades to compare to shades I already owned.

Colourpop Blush Crush vs Physicians Formula Rose all Play Palettes




As a big fan of Physicians Formula Rose all Play palette that launched late 2019, and a fan of pinky shadows for all of 2019, I thought Colorpops blush crush would be perfect for me. Was I wrong! Not only was colourpops formula drier and more difficult to blend, the glittery shades were nothing but a chunky fall out mess. The Bottom middle brownish pink looking shade looks like a bubblegum pink in my crease and is in no way subtle. What I thought would be a matte white is a light pink, that’s too pink for a brow bone highlight shade. The pink gold duochrome and light pink shimmer were the only 2 useable shades for me and even they were much drier and flatter looking than I am used to from a Too Faced Shimmer. 

The physicians formula rose palette however, has creamy easy to blend mattes, and none of the mid tone crease shades look unnatural. They have enough neutrality to not look neon or jarring. The shimmers do all have very fine glitter in them but they are beautiful and multidimensional. The palette has a beautiful soft rose scent I would wear as a perfume. This is still one of my favorite palettes I own. 

I’m passing this colourpop palette along since I never find myself using it, and would recommend physicians formula rose all play instead. 

For reference I use Milani eyeshadow primer under all of my eyeshadows.


Too Faced Cinnamon Bear Palette


Too Faced Cinnamon bear palette is a red/pinky eyeshadow palette with a beautiful pink blush. I’ve done a few different eyeshadow looks with it and they have all come out somewhat pink, because all of the shades have atleast a pink undertone. It is good quality however despite the lack of versatility. I’ve swatched just the shimmer shades because the mattes are really as expected. The blush is my favorite part, a very vibrant and pigmented slightly warm pink with a subtle satin glow.
