Back in July, my lovely boyfriend bought me this Too Faced Natural Eyes palette for my birthday and I've been pretty in love with it ever since. I'd seen it pop up on lots of my favourite blogs so when my boyfriend asked me what I wanted, I told him I'd love to try this. The reason I was so drawn to it was because I'm a big neutrals fan and although I have lots of neutral eye shadows already, I didn't have anything like this palette that comes with three different 'looks' and a fab mix of both matte and shimmery shades.

When I opened it on my birthday, I was quite surprised by how small and compact it is. I don't know why but I had the idea in my head that it'd be really big and bulky because of the  tin packaging. However, I was completely wrong and I love that its small enough to pop in my makeup bag. Its perfect for travelling too! Speaking of the packaging, I'm absolutely in love with it. Its very sturdy, I love the pastel colours and large mirror and the floral design is feminine and classy.

There's nine shadows in the palette - four of them being matte and five shimmery/metallic. As I mentioned, the palette also has three different 'looks' - Day, Classic and Fashion. Now although I like to mix and match the shadows and don't stick to these specific looks, I think its really handy if you're just getting into makeup and need some guidance on what kind of shades will work well together.

What I personally love most about it is that it has every kind of shade I could need to create both day and evening eye looks. In other neutral palettes I've bought in the past, I've always felt something was lacking - particularly matte shades that can be used in the crease and I've always had to use a mix of palettes to get the look I want. However, with this palette, everything I could need is there. The shadows themselves are of a very high quality and comparable to the likes of Urban Decay and MAC - they're all beautifully pigmented, easy to blend and long wearing.

DAY
Heaven - A matte creamy off-white
Cashmere Bunny - A matte mid-toned taupe brown
Sexpresso - A matte dark brown

I think all of these shades are perfect for their 'day' label. They're perfect for creating a neutral eye and I love that they're matte too as I've been using them in the crease to add more depth to my eye shadow. I think my favourite of the three is 'Cashmere Bunny' as it adds definition to the crease without being too dramatic - its been my go-to daytime crease shade!

CLASSIC
Silk Teddy - A shimmery champagne/soft pink shade
Push-up - A metallic rose gold/bronze
Erotica - A taupe brown with silver flecks

Again, beautiful shades and two of them are my most used from the whole palette. I've been loving using 'Silk Teddy' as an inner corner/brow highlight and Push-Up has been one of my go-to lid shades as I love the unusual bronze with hits of rose gold shade. I haven't used the shade 'Erotica' all that much as it is quite dark but if I want to go for a more sultry evening look or add some depth to the outer v/under eye, its a great shade to have. Another fantastic trio of very wearable and multi purpose shades!

FASHION
Nudie - A matte beige
Honey Pot - A metallic gold 
Chocolate Martini - A warm toned brown with gold glitter

Finally we have the 'Fashion' trio and these three shades make for a beautiful gold smokey eye. The shade 'Nudie' is a great neutral base, 'Honey Pot' is a beautiful gold and another one of my fave lid shades (its very similar to the Urban Decay Naked palette favourite 'Half Baked') and 'Chocolate Martini' is great dark brown for smoking things up and adding a bit of fun as it has flecks of gold glitter running through it. 

If you hadn't already guessed by my rave review, I haven't got any complaints about this palette - well, apart from some of the names being a bit questionable. Sexpresso, Erotica and Nudie - how naughty of you Too Faced! I think the packaging/shades and formula are spot on and its completely worth its £ price tag. If you're a neutral eye shadow lover, this is a must have in your makeup stash! You can get it here for £32.00.

Lots of love,
