Oh my… where to start. I was looking for a natural palette to add to my "collection" (I am licensed makeup artist). I wanted something with a nice combination of matte, shimmer and metallic nudes. I've always been pleased with my Too Faced products in the past so I thought nothing of glancing at the product and pics and making my purchase. I had to look at it 3 times to make sure it was the correct one-what I saw were matte shadows and GLITTER-not sparkle, metallic or shimmer. I mean we are talking big chunky of craft store glitter. I was almost embarrassed because I just lectured a friend who is over 40 about the difference of subtle shimmer and glitter! I thought that maybe it was just my lighting or an optical illusion. Nope! The shades that said "sparkle" were glitter, the metallics, glitter, the shimmers, more glitter. I tried a q tip thinking that maybe it was just residue from my brush-nope. All glitter (my fave brush now ruined). What is really strange is that despite the shiny chunks now seemingly imbedded in my hand, the color itself does not want to transfer from my brush to my skin on at least half of the colors. How I could not get color to transfer but bruise my hand trying to wipe away the disco ball chunks is beyond me. I have so many other Too Faced products and have never had a problem. I take my Just Peachy everywhere and love it. I do have one shadow palette-Pretty Rich-that I purchased knowing it had glitter shadows for that purpose and wasn't overly impressed. Had I known or read the reviews here and not just trusted past purchase experience and photos, this and the other 2 palettes I purchased would have never made it into my cart. My thought is that Too Faced is starting to cheap out on their once highly pigmented shimmer and metallic shadows. I can not tell you how disappointed I am with this purchase. May have to rethink buying online and not testing if the quality is not going to be there. Originally posted on www.toofaced.co.uk
