Too Faced Country Palette Review

Too Faced Country Palette Review Swatches Video

Today I’ve got the Too Faced Country Palette: Nashville Nudes for you. It’s a paraben free palette from Too Faced that’s supposed to have 9 shadows of perfect nudes with sparkling pops of color. I’ve also reviewed the Rock n’ Roll Palette and Cat Eyes too. If you want a versatile neutral palette, see the Chocolate Bar.

All American Girl – silvery white
Nashville – greyed out purple / lavender
Bluebird – blue shimmer on a charcoal base and silver sparkles, has fallout, and doesn’t have very good color payoff

My Thoughts

I’m not a fan of how Too Faced recycles colors and rather than bring a palette of 9 new shades, only 5 shades are new, and they don’t tell you which are repromotes. I wish they would tell you which shades are repromotes so that you know.

Still, I really appreciate the fact that Too Faced is proudly cruelty free and has some vegan offerings. For those of you concerned with parabens, you’ll love that this palette is paraben free. Too Faced palettes are typically a good value for the price, especially if you like all the colors in the palette.

For me, the Country Palette fell flat and I would skip it. If you’re a fan of toned-down neutrals, you might like this palette. Since I’m a fan of brights, I wasn’t impressed by the shades that were supposed to be pops of color. They were too muted (Rhinestone) or had poor color payoff (Bluebird).

It did have a few great shades that I liked, namely Nashville, Paper Roses, Y’all and Famous in a Small Town. I really wish Rhinestone had more purple to it and less brown, as Rhinestone and Dolly are really too similar for my tastes to be in the same palette.

Pros

  • Cruelty free
  • Paraben free
  • Good value for the price

Cons

  • If you like brights, skip this

  1. I think I like the swatches for this the best out of the recent three.

  2. When I saw the first promo image of this palette I thought, I NEED THAT! But then I saw the swatches…and I felt like the colors didn’t live up to my expectations (based on the promo image). Paper Roses looks very similar to Jardin from this summer’s A La Mode palette which I already own. I thought there would be more pinks in the palette and that the purples would be PURPLE (not “purple?”). I was also disappointed in the blue. It’s not a bad palette but…I’m going to be skipping it. I really do love Too Faced palettes but there just aren’t enough special colors in this one. :/

  3. Oh wow. I think I might kind of sort of need this palette. It’s going on my wishlist right now!

  10. I’ve been debating Too Faced shadows for so long but can’t seem to take the plunge…haven’t had anything really stand out to me. When I saw some of their new palettes comes out (this one and Rock Star and as well as the La Modes), I was thinking, ok I should get one….but then didn’t. Maybe I’m too indecisive, lol. 🙂

  11. Very pretty! I find Paper Roses is similar to Satin Sheets in the Boudoir Eyes palette.

  13. I always get suckered into palettes especially if there’s one color that really stands out to me. Paper Roses is so gorgeous that I was considering buying the palette without giving much thought to the other shades. I thought it resembled one of the colors in the sugarpill sparkle baby collection so thanks for mentioning it. I think i’ll just skip this and wait til that becomes available online 🙂

    1. If you love Paper Roses you can pick up Sugarpill Kitten Parade whenever it is released or pick up Fyrinnae Rapunzel Had Extensions right now 🙂

      1. Oh I saw those lip colors in the tube in an email!!! Really nice shades!!! I have to add those to my collection!!!

  17. WOW!!! I love these colors!!! I think paper roses or y’all on the lid with Dolly in the crease and Famous in a small town on the browbone and Dolly in the outside corner again woul look really nice!!! I love it!!! Nice combo of neutral mattes and shimmers for day and a blue thrown in for evening!!! Nice Vacay palette!!!
