Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette Review


The Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly Eyeshadow Palette is a new Summer 2016 palette featuring 9 shades of eye shadow inspired by the sensation that is the peanut butter shade in their classic Chocolate Bar palette. You'll find the palette focuses more on peanut butter versus jelly as there are only two shades of purple in this palette.


Peanut Butter & Jelly Palette, $36
Where to buy: Sephora – Too Faced – ULTA


The palette is your standard eye shadow collection palette from Too Faced. It comes housed in their classic style tin with a how to guide located inside with three different signature looks using the 9 eye shadows to get you started. Low and behold it does in fact smell like Peanut Butter and chocolate since it is made with cocoa powder! Per the packaging, it contains no nuts so it shouldn’t be a problem for those allergic to peanut nuts.


Shades include:
  • Bananas (soft peachy gold w/ fine gold shimmer)
  • Extra Creamy (matte creamy beige)
  • Jammin’ (dark chocolate w/ golden sparkle)
  • Jelly (vibrant orchid)
  • Nuts About U (matte brown w/ red undertones)
  • Spread the Love (medium peach w/ gold sparkle)
  • Peanut Brittle (metallic burnt orange)
  • Peanut Butter (matte medium orange brown)
  • Peanut Butter Cup (metallic golden bronze w/ gold sparkle)


The palette is made up of shimmer, frost, and matte finishes with fresh and new fun colors. They are beautiful velvety almost creamy textured shades. These are super pigmented and easy to apply.They aren’t too heavy either and didn’t look metallic or overly frosted.

WITH FLASH --------------------------------WITHOUT


All in all the Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly eye shadow palette, for me, is an absolute must have and my favorite out of all the other similar palettes. The palette doesn’t seem like a rerun of past shades and it does contain some rather unique ones.

Too Faced - Christmas in New York 2016 - Grande Hotel Cafe Review


When it comes to holiday releases, brands get us excited for Christmas in September, and Too Faced always steals the show. We already know we love the brand's products, so when they are wrapped in adorable festive packaging, we lose our minds. Last year, the collection was Paris, France themed. This year, Too Faced is celebrating the city that never sleeps, New York City. So the Eiffel Tower is iconic, but NYC during the holidays is an experience unlike any other.


The products are decorated for kids in a candy store! The gift set is a hotel shaped box that literally opens up to reveal three coffee scented palettes of magic inside, plus a deluxe treat that’s better than sex! You'll just have to have it for every occasion this holiday season!


Too Faced Grand Hotel Café, $49
Where to buy: Sephora – Too Faced – ULTA

This cozy-café set was inspired by one of Too Faced founder Jerrod Blandino’s favorite NYC hotels, and opens to reveal three scented palettes: Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Coffee, and Eggnog Latte. In total, there are 18 eyeshadows, two blushes, a bronzer, a deluxe size of Better Than Sex Mascara, and a step-by-step how-to Glamour Guide with three beauty for each palette. Each palette has a scent that reflects it name. It is exciting to see TF expand the scent portfolio beyond chocolate and peach!


Eggnog Latte features coffee-toned shadows including cold brew and one very lust-worthy metallic-green.

Peppermint Mocha is all about peppermint flair with colors like candy cane, sprinkles, & coffee chip!

Gingerbread Coffee holds a mix of deep browns and gingersnap gold with a punch packing icy winter's dream!

They have a faint smell of each delicious scent and I really love the colors that are paired in each palette. They really go well with together. Plus if you wanted to give this as a gift, not only can you gift it to one person but you can separate each palette and give them to multiple friends or family members for the holidays!


So far I really love these palettes. All of the shades kick a**! They are creamy, pigmented, easy to blend and look beautiful on the eyes. The shimmer shades typically have a lot of fall out with them. That would be my only con to this set but I myself love working with glitter, shimmer, and baked shades!

Ipsy Glam Bag Review - March 2016 - My First #glambag


Ipsy is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. Each month you get full size or deluxe-sized products, plus a cute makeup bag. I think it’s one of the best value beauty subscriptions and a great way to build out your makeup collection for a steal!
This is one of my top recommendations if you are looking for a beauty box – the value and sample sizes are amazing. (FYI – Just like Birchbox, Ipsy sends out many different variations of their bag each month – so my review is just one of the bag variations you might receive!)
I personally pay for this subscription and any other products on this blog. I do not accept promo merchandise in return for a good review.







The Subscription Box: Ipsy
The Cost: $10 a month (free shipping)
The Products: Full size and deluxe samples of makeup and beauty products. (Plus a makeup bag!)
Ships to: US and Canada
Delivered via: USPS
Visit the Ipsy Swap Page to swap for any of the items you see in this review!

Beau Gachis Paris Eyeshadow Brush
Size: FULL SIZE!
Value: $12
Ipsy is pretty great about sending out makeup brushes and beauty tools frequently. If you’re looking for that in a beauty subscription, I would definitely recommend Ipsy.
OFRA Cosmetics Green Go Eyeliner in Olive
Size: FULL SIZE!
Value: $13
OFRA’s Green Go Eyeliner is a gorgeous eyeliner that applies smoothly and easily on the eyes with a velvety finish. Not only is this pencil perfect in complimenting your eye makeup but it can also be used as an eye shadow or a bold lip liner. The creativity is completely in your hands. It also came in a tending color that is a must have!
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Anti Aging Concealer in Nude
Size: Travel Size .11 oz.
Value: $10
IT Cosmetics Full Coverage Anti-Aging Concealer with hydro-collagen, vitamins C and K, is clinically proven to reduce under eye puffiness, while strengthen the skin. When they say full coverage they mean it! A small amount of this highly pigmented formula goes a very long way. Apply alone using clean fingertips for a radiant, hydrated, dewy glow. I will say I have my color under medium/nude & I feel like this was still very ivory, the bottle says nude.
Aphrodite Skin Care Replenishing Eye Cream
Size: Travel Size .5 oz.
Value: $9
This anti-aging and hydrating eye cream is a super lightweight and intensely hydrating treatment, formulated with organic extra virgin olive oil and high levels of natural active ingredients such as Argan Oil, Evening Primrose and Shea Butter to insure maximum absorption.
Model Co Lip Lacquer Lip Gloss in Socialite
Size: Travel Size .5 oz.
Value: $8
As vibrant and glossy as the finish on a pair of Louboutin heels, ModelCo’s Lip Lacquer is appropriately named. One swipe of the wand delivers rich, full-pigment color paired with brilliant moisture and shine. The long-lasting formula is packaged in a superslim bottle, making it a must-have for your handbag. For my personal preference I do enjoy this gloss however I prefer a stick or matte gloss so if you got a NUDESTIX lip crayon/pencil, you have my envy!

Verdict: This box has a value of about $52. That’s amazing for a $10 subscription box and actually low compared to other bags I’ve received! (And that’s not counting the value of the makeup bag!) For my first Ipsy bag, this one was quite impressive! It had almost everything I was looking for. Not to mention you earn points towards free products if you review your monthly bag on their site and this also helps give feedback for your profile if you didnt like any of the products or felt like they weren't for you!
