Two Faced Sweet Peach Palette Review

So Too Faced came out with this eyeshadow palette that smells like peaches back in ohhh, summer 2016? And I was obsessed from the first set of teaser pictures. I have a weird obsession with peaches ever since a boy decided I looked like Princess Peach and he was gonna call me as such (corny right?). So this palette was a MUST for me. Sadly it sold out before I could get my hands on it. But luckily come December 2016 Too Faced announced they were going to restock the palette and add a glow palette and peach blush to the collection! I ordered mine straight from Too Faced with a 40% discount code making it come out to only $34. Merry Christmas to me. :')

You can purchase from any of these websites:


Now ya'll, I'm obsessed with this palette. I think the whole aesthetic of it is so cute. I love the bright ombre color of the case to the cute little emoji peach on the box. The fact that it SMELLS like peaches too is the best part. Not to mention all of the colors are to die for. The palette consists of a lot of shimmery shades, not so many mattes, but I'm perfectly fine with that because I love to sparkle. So if you're a matte kinda girl/guy this palette probably isn't for you! You also have a fair share of neutral colors but also a great selection of fun ones. I didn't edit these pictures at all because I wanted you guys to be able to see the eyeshadow's true colors (even though some are blown out by the sun hehe).
My favorite colors definitely are Just Peachy, Candied Peach, and Summer Yum. 

I wanted to include close ups of these two so you can see just how shimmery and sparkly some of these shades are! I'm living!!
Also, I did some swatches for you guys. The first picture was taken in artificial lighting (ring light) and the second picture is what they look like in direct sunlight. Both are without primer and finger swatches btw! The majority of these have incredible color pay off but a few that I noticed I had to layer a little to show any color on my arm were the lighter shades like White Peach, Peaches N' Cream, Georgia, and Candied Peach. All of the colors blend beautifully though and even with the most basic of basic eyeshadow primers, they last for hooouuuurs!

Also along with this palette, I have one of the lip glosses from the collection. This one was a gift from my best friend for Christmas so thanks Shmev. :) I have mine in the color Peach Tease which is just a pretty pinky-peach color that smells just like the palette, though not as strong. 

As I've said already, I love this palette so much. The colors are beautiful and I'm obsessed with the smell. I use this palette all the time and have created so many pretty eye looks with it. This is also the first ever high-end eyeshadow palette that I've ever purchased so that's exciting! 

So, what are your thoughts on the Sweet Peach Palette?

K-Beauty Haul + Review




Long time no talk, eh? Sorry loves. I've been terribly busy on top of being horribly unmotivated. But I am back and ready to talk beauty! I went to Dallas in February for my first ever k-pop concert, which could be an entire blog post in itself because oh my LORD, and I did a bit of shopping. Dallas has a small Koreatown that I thought I would pop into because I've heard nothing but amazing things about k-beauty. So let's take a peek at what I picked up!


#NationalCoffeeDay

I feel like there's a "hashtag national" day for just about everything. But nothing matters more to me than this one. Coffee is life and coffee is love. Not only does it taste good and help me function through every day life, but the smell is absolutely intoxicating. Anything coffee scented ends up in my possession. Which brings me to this beauty:
This is Lush's Cup O' Coffee face and body mask. If you're a coffee lover like myself you need this! The strong aroma is a perfect wake up call in the morning. It contains kaolin to deep clean your pores and also bits of ground up coffee beans to help exfoliate the skin. I don't find it to be too abrasive and it leaves my skin feeling super soft afterwards! Definitely a favorite and I hope Lush keeps it around.

Another fun little bath time item I got recently is this glycerin soap that smells like a fresh cup of morning java. I purchased this from a cute little shop up in the Sacramento mountains. They have tiers upon tiers of handmade soaps all with little works of art inside. Their soaps are all 100% natural and made with vegetable oil so they're super duper moisturizing and don't leave any annoying residue. And these babies lather like a dream. 
Of course I couldn't make a #NationalCoffeeDay post without telling you what I've been sippin' on! I found this super delicious bag of hazelnut coffee at Marshall's a few months back and with a quote like that on the front I couldn't say no to it. "Life is too short to drink bad coffee." Where's the lie???


Hope you enjoyed my little spiel today. I'm new to all this blogging jazz but it's actually pretty fun. My new camera came in over the weekend so I've been experimenting with it non stop. Feeling really inspired lately. :)

xoxo, Danielle.
