Review: Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Palette





At first I had my sights set on the popular Sweet Peach palette which at one point
was extremely hard (as well as pricey) to get when I was previously based in Australia. 
Having left a lot of my makeup collection behind I wanted to build it back up with the
most versatile colors.






The palette features 12 shades that go seamlessly with one another. From an almost
pure white to an almost charcoal black. Each eyeshadow is so easy to blend and has
more intense color than you would guess. The only negatives I found was some fall out
when applied, and the shade 'Chocolate Dipped' was hard to blend out as you can see 

from my swatch.


My Favorite Colour Combo:

Peach Tea, Fresh Picked and Just Ripe






Does it really smell like peaches? YES. It doesn’t kind of smell like them. In fact, it literally
smells like a fresh peach that you have taken a bite out of, or even a freshly baked dessert.
Too Faced Cosmetics has taken their talent for adding scents to each of these beautiful matte
eyeshadows and nailed it.

Review: Tarte Rain Forest By The Sea Palette II



              When I first laid eyes on this pallete I was attracted to the darker colors 
             instantly. Tarte described how this palette's eyeshadows contained built-in 
             primer. The second thing that drew me in was the stunning packaging. It's
             not only stylish, but functional.The mirror with Tarte's logo is large and very
             helpful. Tarte is always generous with their mirror size inside palettes.




Swatches

My favorite colors are Pearl (Foiled), Sunset (Shimmery), Seaside (Matte), and Breezy (Matte).
The swatches 
above took a minimum of three swipes to be as pigmented as they look. I believe
that this 
is due to the built-in primer that the Rainforest By The Sea collection prides itself on. Having the built-in primer was definitely a selling point for me, but it seems to make it harder to blend once it is applied. The key to using this palette is patience and LOTS of layers in order
for you to get the pigmentation you see above. Please comment 
below if you have used this palette and let me know how it works for you.
