Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly Palette Review

Peanut Butter & Jelly Palette

I love eye shadow palettes and when I heard that Too Faced was coming out with a palette that smelled like PB&J, I first thought "okay, gimmick".  Then I remembered how much I love the original Chocolate Bar palette, so I knew that I would have to do some research to see if the new PB&J palette is worth adding to my already extensive collection.

For someone who buys makeup just to buy, I have more than enough eye shadow palettes and have told myself that I will only buy new palettes if I found that they are different from my already vast collection of eye shadow palettes.

Now is the Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly palette completely unique and have exciting new colors? Not really.  What it does have is cute packaging, a condensed palette size, and colors that go well with each other to create some warm natural looks.  There is a good mix of matte and shimmer shades and while the color Jelly is almost sheer, it can be built up well and shows up nice with a little bit of work.

I love all of the colors in the palette, but just wish there was a darker brown outer-v color that could double as a liner.  I also found that while Peanut Butter and Nuts About U look different in the palette, once applied on the lid, for me at least, they come across almost the same color.  I think they could have swapped Nuts About U for the darker color and this palette would be my new holy grail. As it is, though, I mix Peanut Butter Cup and Jammin' and that creates a deep enough color to use on my outer-v.

I have traveled with this palette and the purples allow me to make a nice smokey look for any nights out and the other colors are good for day looks.  While the color combinations look like they wouldn't go well together, surprisingly, I found that all of the colors actually have many combinations that work very nicely.

I would say if you are someone who loves warm brown shades and pops of purple, this is a great everyday palette that transitions well to night time.  If you want a super versatile palette, this is not it.
