I never really wear eyeshadow so I've always talked myself out of buying eyeshadow palettes. But then one day it hit me - maybe the true reason I don't wear eyeshadow is because I don't really own any. I know how stupid that sounds, how could I not realise this sooner? As I'd seen this palette all over Instagram and every other social media platform available I knew I had to have it! This would be my first high end eyeshadow palette! Lucky for me my need for this palette coincided with my Birthday so my boyfriend bought it for me. I actually got three eyeshadow palettes for my Birthday (I went overboard, ok) but I was definitely most excited about this one.
I have to be honest and say that although I was super excited for the palette as a whole I wasn't looking forward to the peachy smell because I hate peach - the smell, the taste, the feel. NO! At first I was a little unsure of the sickly smell but I've honestly grown to love it. I truly believe it smells a lot nicer than an actual peach! The colours on the palette are all so beautiful and pigmented - although the shimmer colours are a lot better than the mattes.
And then came the blush... when I saw Papa Don't Peach I knew I had to have it. If not only for the play on words because I'm a HUGE Madonna fan. Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep... As I have another Too Faced blusher that I absolutely love and wear all the time I thought that why not treat myself with my Birthday money? I know the product must be good! It has the same peachy smell as the eyeshadow palette and the packaging is literally the cutest; just look at the peach and it's little face! I'm sad to say that the product on the other hand is lacking. Compared to my other Too Faced blush the pigmentation just isn't there, sure it's buildable, but is buildable really good enough at £25?
If you're on the fence about getting anything from this palette I'd definitely recommend the eyeshadow. The blush isn't the BEST I've ever had but it's still very pretty. If you have anything from this collection let me know what you think! I'd really like the Glow Palette

Gah, I'm still in a fight with myself whether to get the palette or not. I definitely have enough neutral shades but I love some of the more unusual neutrals that this palette has...maybe if it goes on sale (I doubt it lol) I'll grab it!
