Too Faced Cinnamon Swirl Eyeshadow Palette Reminds Us Of Good Times at the Mall
Too Faced Cinnamon Swirl Eyeshadow Palette ($49) is a new, limited edition cinnamon-scented palette that’s launching for the Fall 2021 season that contains 18 eyeshadows. I’m sure many of you have caught your first look at the Cinnamon Swirl Eyeshadow Palette as its been circulating on Instagram since late last week. It’s a palette that gives a nod to those old school days spent walking around the mall, buying earrings at Claire’s, heading to Bath and Body Works for a haul, and finally ending up at the Food Court where you purchased that big old messy cinnamon bun that you ate every bit of but it probably gave you a migraine later on because that’s a lot of sugar.
I used to be a mall rat. I loved the mall! There was something so fun walking around the mall, window shopping, and just enjoying the vibe. I feel like malls haven’t aged well and the experience isn’t as exciting as it once was. I’m not sure who we can blame for that but I imagine the main culprit would be the Internet and online shopping. When did we all become so closeted in homes that we can’t venture out to the mall to grab the item we so desperately want versus shopping for it at home in pigtails and our PJs. Malls here in New York are pretty dead and stores really have super limited inventory which has forced us to shop online.
But I do love the little nod that the Too Faced Cinnamon Swirl Eyeshadow Palette gives to the Mall’s Food Court because really, that was the best part about going am I right? Who didn’t want to eat ice cream, fresh baked cookies, and gooey cinnamon buns? Going to the mall was like going to a County Fair! There were so many things to eat and you came home with a stomach ache after a trip. To this day, I can’t resist stopping to get a big old pretzel with a bit of pizza sauce on the side to dip! Yum!
Along with the Cinnamon Swirl Eyeshadow Palette, they’ll also be a Melted Matte Lipstick in Cinnamon Bun which will be sold for $22.
I don’t think the palette brings anything new to the table. If anything it seems very reminiscent of the last year’s Pumpkin Spice Eyeshadow Palette. It’s hard to say with stock images.
I’m one of those sad people that like matchy-match shades and this palette feels like it may be all over the place in terms of color pairings but I’ll have to see it in person before deciding.
I will say it’s probably not a must-have. Pretty sure the shades will be easy enough to dupe across the many other Too Faced Eyeshadow Palettes I already own.
