Too Faced Sugar Pop Palette- Review

Recently, I made a trip to Sephora to make a return, but caught my eye on the Too Faced Limited Edition Sugar Pop Palette. Upon first glance, my initial reaction was that this palette included gorgeous glittery eyeshadows, and I would be able to create bold, dramatic eye looks with this. But after using it for a little while, its safe to say it did not live up to my expectations. 

In the palette, the colours look opaque, bold, and easy to use- all wrong. The eyeshadows were very powdery, did not blend well, and were not as opaque as they look in the pan. I assumed I may be using it wrong, maybe the wrong brushes, or I did not prep my eyelid well enough, so I tried a different brand of brushes, and primed my eyelids with Urban Decay's Primer Potion, but had the same disappointing results. 

The reviews on the Too Faced website were mainly positive... 

"I LOVE THIS PALETTE!! I can't help but incorporate it into most of my other looks using different shadows bc I just think these shades are beautiful. They're pigmented, buttery, super blendable and apply so beautifully!! I think Too Faced is my favorite brand ever, I am obsessed with the packaging it is just my Spring and Summer palette!!"

But I am more on the side of this reviewer...

"I was disappointed with this one. I did not feel the pigmentation was anything impressive to say the least - I used several different primers and also tried the shades wet. I was hoping for a much more candied look, but still spring-y and fresh, nothing loud. Unfortunately, the colors just didn't show up the way I was hoping."

Overall, this palette really was nothing special, and I did eventually return it to Sephora, and purchased Tarte's Tartelette Palette- expect a review sometime soon!
