Too Faced Totally Cute Palette Review & Swatches
I purchased the Too Faced Totally Cute Eyeshadow Palette ($36) that recently launched with Too Faced Fall 2016 Collection. I have to admit the Totally Cute Palette is totally bogus. This eyeshadow palette comes in a pink compact that simply reads “Too Faced” across the front. But wait, there’s more! It comes with stickers, yes stickers, that you can use to decorate the palette with.
This is where things get a bit juvenile and childish! I should explain myself a little more before I call anything immature. I’m a lover of anything and everything cute. I remember when the Sephora Hello Kitty launched and I squealed my way through tons of posts about it. I became rather defensive when someone commented and said I was being childish and it was stupid that I wanted to carry around a Hello Kitty Compact. I get it! Not everyone is a child at heart and not everyone loves cutesy makeup. That’s me though. The cuter my makeup packaging is, the happier I am! Too Faced has always been very cute in packaging and most recently things have seem to gotten even cuter with the launch of the Peanut Butter and Jelly Eyeshadow Palette as well as the Sweet Peach one. But it seems like the Totally Cute Palette jumps the shark a little bit!
I guess there’s a line to be drawn when it comes to too much cuteness! Sitting down and decorating my palette with stickers feels a little too childish to me. And dare I say, a bit of a waste of time as well. Too Faced includes not one, not two, but three sheets of stickers with the palette. Mind you, you’ll never be able to use all of these! I ended up decorating the palette for this review and I purchased the palette for the same reason. All in all it isn’t something I’d have purchased if I didn’t get requests to review it. Not only is the color selection one I didn’t like but also the entire sticker thing just threw me for a curve ball.
But, I’ll admit, I had some minor fun decorating the palette. Once you start getting into it, it’s rather fun. I was worried the palette would look stupid or kitschy after I was done. But the stickers actually looked good and rather seamless with the pink background of the compact. Will they last through uses? I’m not sure. Right now they are fine but will daily use you might notice peeling! But hey, you have three entire sheets so, you can always start over if they do peel off. I tucked the extra ones into my planner as they might see better use there!
I should say, the stickers aren’t really something you absolutely need to take advantage of. If the eyeshadow shades in the Totally Cute Palette are your thing but the packaging is silly to you. No problem! Just don’t bother with the stickers. The actual compact is a simple pink and perfect for minimalists!
But now that we chatted packaging, let’s talk contents!
