Product Review: Too Faced Neutral Eyeshadow Collection

Hi guys! I thought I'd post an extra review for today since I'm in the blogging mood. This review is for Too Faced Neutral Eyeshadow Collection. This is the original palette that was released. Since then, Too Faced has released three new versions - Naked Eye, Romantic Eye and Smoky Eye.
I absolutely LOVE this palette and have been using it multiple times a week ever since I purchased it two years ago. It lasts a long time too considering I haven't even hit pan on any shadows yet.
The packaging is made out of cardboard, and is surprisingly sturdy. You can see that the ink on the box has smudged a lot, but that's because it's been in and out of my purse for the past two years.

 
The palette includes three large shadows (0.07 oz) , and six small shadows (0.03 oz). The retail price is $35, so it's really a great deal with the amount of shadows you're getting. The quality of these shadows are outstanding. The matte colours (top row) are extremely smooth and silky and they blend like a dream. The only shadow in this palette that may cause issues with fall out is Nude Beach, but I mix it with Silk Teddy to create the perfect shimmery/glittery neutral colour.
The palette also comes with three instruction cards that detail how to create a "Daytime", "Classic" and "Fashion" look. There's even a little drawer in the bottom with a dual ended brush - a sponge tip applicator and an eyeliner brush. The quality isn't great, but it could be useful for on the go.

Heaven is a matte cream colour that is very smooth and pigmented. This could be used as a highlight colour for the brow bone and inner corner.

Silk Teddy is a shimmery peachy pink colour. I use this one the most, and it's the perfect lid colour. It's a great dupe for Benefit Leggy eyeshadow.

Nude Beach is a nude colour with large flecks of gold shimmer. This one can cause fall out, so I mix it with Silk Teddy eyeshadow.


Velvet Revolver is a matte taupe colour. I rarely use this colour because I don't know what kind of look I would use it in, but the quality of the shadow is amazing.


Push-Up is a shimmery medium bronze colour, and it's absolutely beautiful. I love wearing this in the crease for a simple natural look. It isn't too dramatic and is great for the daytime.

Honey Pot is a shimmery warm gold colour, and is incredibly pigmented. This would be better suited for warmer skin tones, because on my cool toned skin, it just washes me out.


Sexpresso is a matte deep dark brown. This colour is very smooth and pigmented, and is one of the darkest matte eyeshadows I've seen. I like to use this colour as an eyeliner because it's dark enough to create a defined line. This colour is very similar to NARS Coconut Grove eyeshadow.


Erotica is a shimmery brownish-gray colour that is another great crease colour.


Cocoa Puff is a shimmery medium brown colour. It's very pigmented and is perfect for darkening up the crease.


FINAL VERDICT: A
