Too Faced Natural Matte Palette

I so wanted this palette as soon as I came across it on Ulta. Most of us like some shimmer and glitter in our lives, but it's also hard to resist the smooth, stark matte shades from time-to-time. 

I'm not going to much go through the packaging, because it's very standard to the Too Faced packaging with the metal tin case. I, personally, really like the metal palettes because they seem so much more durable than the cardboard type ones.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, only four of the shades are brand new. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong! I didn't check on it to know for sure. I'm merely guessing based on my Too Faced shadow knowledge. 

The new shades "Strapless" "Risque" and "Honey Butter" are the reason I mostly wanted this palette. But I love how Too Faced gave us the right warm color "Chocolate Cookie" to liven up the palette after having the cool-toned shades "Sexpresso" and "Risque." 

The palette itself did not disappoint. I have several more of the metal tin palettes for $36, which is a steal considering the palettes are usually very good quality. The only time I ever see any shadows lacking in pigmentation or being too glittery are in the holiday sets Too Faced puts out for Christmas. 

I almost didn't want to swatch the colors and waste the product , so you all are lucky! :) 

I also wanted to point out that I ended up purchasing my Too Faced Natural Matte Palette from Sephora and NOT Ulta. It really doesn't matter which you purchase it from. It's basically a matter of preference. I just had a 15% off VIB code from Sephora, so I got mine for a little cheaper. I do, however, tend to purchase more from Sephora. I just like it better than Ulta.

And here are the much anticipated swatches!! These are just with one swipe of my finger to show the true pigmentation. Even the matte white shade showed up better than most on camera.

I also think the colors in this palette are very versatile. I have hazel eyes as many of you know, but I think these shades will go with any eye color. Versatility is a huge factor in declaring a palette "Great" or not. I also think several of the colors could be considered transition shades, so there are just many different look variations. I have only used the palette twice, but I can tell you it's going to remain one of my favorites! 

I am giving this palette an A+ since all of the shades are good. Sometimes palettes have a few bad shades that we rarely try to use, but I know I'll get use out of each of these shades. 

If you all have any questions or would like to share with me your experiences with this palette, pleas leave me a comment below.
