Too Faced Love Palette Review

Too Faced Love Palette Review and Swatches - Phyrra.net

Today I’m excited to share the Too Faced Love Palette with you. This palette is made up of 15 shades, mostly shimmery neutrals. You’ve got a few fun greens and some lovey dovey pinks thrown in for color. It also has a black eyeliner. Initially it reminded me of the Too Faced Return of the Sexy eyeshadow palette. However, after swatching it, it really makes me think of some of the kawaii Korean and Japanese eyeshadows that I see over on my friend Izzy’s blog, Musings of a Muse. Be prepared, I’ve taken a bunch of product shots.

All of these eyeshadows were swatched on my bare skin with a bdellium 777 brush. Eyeshadows will perform better on eyeshadow primer. I strongly recommend that you use eyeshadow primer.

Too Faced Love Palette Quad 2 Swatches

Middle Quint

1 – light pink demi-matte, on the sheer side
2 – plum purple base with golden shift, more sheer that I like
3 – light ballerina pink shimmer
4 – midtone brown matte, more sheer than I like
5 – deep chocolate brown pearl

Too Faced Love Palette Quad 3 Swatches

Right Quint

1 – light beige shimmer
2 – light green shimmer with golden shift
3 – light peach shimmer
4 – brown pearl
5 – deep brown with green tones and subtle golden sparkle, less pigmented than I like. I wish the green was more prominent in this shade.

I really like the packaging for this palette as it feels very solid and safe for travel. It has a nice mirror inside. The whole Too Faced Love Letter theme / gift is very fitting with the brand image.

The shape of the eyeshadows themselves, while cute, are semi annoying when trying to fit your brush into them. My bdellium 777 brushes that I used to swatch every color felt like they were almost too wide to swipe the color. So while the heart shape is cute and it’s a nice way to break up the quints, you may not like it based on the size and shape of your brushes.

Too Faced says this palette was created with slurry powder technology to give velvety smooth, multidimensional, intense color payoff. Too Faced says that there are shimmer, pearl and matte finishes in the palette. There are very few mattes in the palette though. most are shimmery or metallic.

Out of all the colors, I feel like #5 in the left quint, #1 in the middle quint, #2 in the middle quint, #4 in the middle quint and #5 in the right quad could use more pigmentation. They’re definitely workable, and they’ll look much better on primer, but I feel you can tell in my bare skin swatches how they’d work without.

I feel like the palette was well planned out with its colors. The few mattes are all browns (and one pink), so they’ll let you contour and shade the eye with ease, while all the shimmery shades will brighten the eyes. I do feel like some of the colors are multi-dimensional type shades, like #2 in the right quint (golden light green),  #2 in the middle quint (golden plum) and #5 (golden brown green) in the right quint.

As someone who has missed Korean cosmetics since going cruelty free (I don’t think my favorite brands like Holika Holika and Tony Moly are currently cruelty free), I’m really happy to see Too Faced put out a palette influenced by Korean cosmetics.

If you are a fan of neutral, shimmery palettes, I think you will love the Love palette. While a few shades underperformed, the rest were quite nice. If you’re a fan of brighter palettes or prefer more mattes, I would skip this and go for one of Too Faced’s Chocolate Bar palettes. I will be reviewing the new blushes soon too.

Because I’m a fan of Too Faced, I bought a Love Palette, plus 2 of the new Love Flush blushes (Baby love – soft dusty nude with fine gold sparkle, Your Love is King – plummy rose) to give away. Open  USA / Canada only. Official rules. Ends Aug. 2, 2015. You must enter using the rafflecopter widget below.

  1. This palette looks so lovely. I cannot wait to try their new foundation when the lighter colors come out!

  2. Phyrra, thank you for doing this giveaway. Part of me is afraid,to get the palette but I’m going to check it out because this is what I really like in an eye shadow. I live for,sparkle!

  3. this is just the most interesting shadow i have seen in a long time. thanks for this chance.

  4. Just starting to learn how to work eye shadows! This looks like an awesome set to get! 🙂

  5. I’ve been eyeing this like crazy and I do a lot of brown and pink eye combos so I may need to pick this one up

  6. Too Faced palettes are my weakness. They always draw me in. lol This one is super cute. I do think a few of the colors could be a bit more pigmented too but love the green and pinks. Thank-you for the great photos, swatches and fun chance too. 🙂

  7. I love the colors, but I have several palettes with shapes like these (Rimmel, ELF) and I never use them because they are a pain to manipulate with my brushes. Not impossible, but I just end up reaching for something else, instead. If I happen to win it, though, I’ll make a heroic effort to use them. lol!

  8. I would die of happiness if I won this, haha. I want those blushes SO badly and the palette has such pretty colors!

  9. I just bought this – without even swatching or opening the palette in the store LOL. The shades work well with the Kat von D primer. Now I’m regretting not buying a couple of those blushes.

  10. Mine is on it’s way after the first one was delivered to the wrong address. I can’t wait–these colors are totally in my wheelhouse! Great giveaway. You’re going to love the blushes too!

  11. Thank’s for another great Review!! I love how Detailed you are! Great stuff 🙂

  12. Great review, love how you went into detail about all of the colors. It’s adorable and I thought maybe I could resist it, but now, not so sure LOL

  13. That middle quint is especially pretty to me & Baby Love is my fave shade out of the blush collection! Lovely giveaway – Good Luck everyone.

  14. I bought the palette just for the hearts. I had to have it and barely want to use it because I love the embossed hearts. Some of the shades are too shimmery for me but I use those in moderation. Love your swatches.

  15. I love the colors and packaging on this. The packaging is flat out adorable. The lack of pigmentation had me wavering, so I’ve been waiting for more reviews and swatches. I haven’t seen a lot out there. Everyone is too busy going gaga over those amazing blushes. Great giveaway!

    1. It’s definitely better on primer, but I was trying to accurately show how it works without. Though if I tried to wear this without primer it would be gone in less than 20 minutes!

      1. I always have to wear primer, too, so I’m fine with that. I was tired yesterday and forgot to use it. My eyeshadow was gone within half an hour. I had to put on primer and completely redo my eyes. Thank goodness I didn’t need to leave the house in a hurry.

    1. I definitely feel like it shines on primer, but I showed it without primer so that you could see what it looked like without help. Those extra dimensional shades on primer (especially that golden plum) is awesome.
