Too Faced Sugar Pop Palette | Review + Swatch

A week or so I had a 25% off coupon for the Too Faced website, so I thought I would buy a few things from their newer collections. I immediately knew I wanted the new Sugar Pop palette and that was the first thing I put in my cart. I also ordered the new Cocoa Contour palette and the Natural Matte palette. Well Tuesday my order came in and I am so excited about these things! I HAD to swatch the Sugar Pop palette immediately. I had to. It's seriously too cute.

 

The packaging is like all other Too Faced palettes. It's encased in a small travel-friendly aluminum magnetic case which I love. But the thing I love about this one is it's printed with bright colorful macaron cookies. It screams spring and summer and the shades inside are just as bright.


So also like most of the Too Faced palettes (excluding the Chocolate Bar and Semi-Sweet palettes), it comes with three highlighting shades and six smaller shadows. The colors in these are phenomenal! They are all super pigmented and buttery, with most of them shimmers and satins and one matte shade, Blackberry. My favorites are Sugared Violet (a deep purple full of duo chrome shimmers) and Blue Raspberry (turquoise-aqua shimmer).


The three highlighting shades range from a creamy yellow, Rock Candy, to a pale pink shimmer, Strawberry Ice, and finally a pale peachy shade, Peach Fuzz. Rock Candy is a little chalky, but it blends out very smooth without losing pigmentation. The other two are beautiful, adding a hint of color and shimmer without being overpowering.


All nine eye shadows are grouped horizontally into trios to create the different looks that are mentioned on the attached insert. The first trio is "Sweet & Spicy" which includes the shades Rock Candy, Macaron and Malted Milk Ball, ideal for a smokier bronze eye look. Next is Sugar Plums, a cooler plum based trio, which includes Strawberry Ice, Sugared Violet and Blackberry. Last up is the trio "Candy Coated" including Peach Fuzz, Bubblegum and Blue Raspberry, a perfect combo for a bright, colorful look.



Overall, I'm really enjoying this palette so far. I can't wait to play around with it some more and experiment with the bright colors, especially with summer right around the corner.
Have any of you bought the Sugar Pop palette? What are your thoughts on it? And Let me know if you guys would like a review on the Cocoa Contour palette or the Natural Matte palette!
Have an awesome day everyone and thanks for reading!
