Too Faced -- Joy To The Girls Palette | Review

TaDa.... Picked this beauty up at Sephora a couple months ago and this has been a great addition to palette collection. This is apart of the Too Faced Holiday collection which might become your new obsession. 
This palette includes 20 ULTRA pigmented shadows. 5 of which are matte while the other 10 are metallic to shimmery to iridescent shades. The color selection includes mostly neutral tones but, it also includes some pinky, peachy, teal, and black shades to add a twist to your most neutral look. One of the best things about this palette is that the colors are able to compliment each other well and you won't need to dip into other shadows.  
It also comes with this this full sized Too Faced LashGasm Mascara.This mascara is phenomenal. I love that the wand has many comb like teeth that are perfect for coating your lashes perfectly. I am a BIG FAN!  
So I have swatches of each and keep in mind I have no primer so they wouldn't pop as much as they possibly could with a primer. 
The first color is the palette is Cookie Dough which is a flesh tone for me but for those lighter in tone it is going to be a deeper tone of brown. This shade is matte and even though it is my exact skin tone it is perfect to blend into your crease especially those lighter in tone. This color reminds me a lot of MAC's Soft Brown. 
Cheers is a beautiful shimmery champagne color perfect for the lid or even for a highlight tone (inner tear ducts). This color pairs well with deeper shades. 
One of my personal favorite shades in the palette since it is the MOST GORGEOUS antique gold tone and this shade is ULTRA pigmented. I love the way this color shows up on every skin tone. And, it pops even more when a black eyeliner is used to under it. PERFECTION!


Sugar Plum is a deeper plum shade with GLITTER!!! Purple is probably one of my favorite eye shadow colors to rocks out. Since glitter and purple are two of my favorite things this shadow is such a great color to add depth to any look.
Mulberry is the perfect transition crease color for those with deeper skin tones and those who are more fair in tone this is a perfect outer corner to bring depth to the look. Such a great shade and... it's matte. Mattes are essential to almost every look. 
Snow Angel another matte shade is great for either brow bone high light or an all over lid tone. I think this is a nice for a day to day look on the lid with mulberry or cookie dough as a crease color. Simple but b e a utiful !
This shade is also very similar to the above shade and I think it's uses can be the same.
Too Too though it doesn't look like it in this swatch it is a very pale pink shade which contains a minimal amount of shmmer/glitter. It's a great shade for neutral looks that are different from the typical goldy nude tones.
Yule Log... what a name! lol I don't even know what it means but this shade is uhhhhmazing :) I love that it's a a rich deep brown and the best part about it is that it has gold glitter! I've mentioned my obsession with glitter and what I love about it is that it's just a nice tone to deepen up any look. 

Chestnut looks a tad bit shimmery but it't not. This is a deeper matte shade that has multiple uses: deep matte smokey eye, transition color , or outer v color. This color is very pretty and just a great all around color.  

Twinkle is the smoothest shimmery gold tone. Where as prancer is a more chunky shimmery antique gold. So beautiful on the lids!
Joy is a teal/baby blue shade that adds umph this palette. Some color is needed in every girls life. I think this tone is very wearable color that isn't too vibrant to the point that you'd look like a clown. 
This matte peach shade is also a nice lid/ highlight color. I really love this tone and think it's so gorgeous!  Also a nice day to day tone. 

Chimney is a great gray tone that can deepen up a look with either the paired black shade or any of the above deeper browns or it can even be paired with any tone to deepen a look. I actually think this shade paired with the tealish shade in Joy would be a super fun combo!
This matte black color is just a staple item. WHAT'S A PALETTE WITHOUT BLACK?!  The uses of black are just limitless. Need I go on ...



Final Thoughts:
So this sums up the whole palette from head to toe. Is it worth the price?! UM YEAHHHH!  The eyeshadows are beyond gorgeous and I love it.The eye shadows are beyond pigmented and are to die...   Also a great day to day palette and contains the everything you need for on the go.
