You may already know that I’m a big fan of Too Faced products. You may have actually have seen my Thanksgiving makeup where I featured the Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette. With both of these in mind, you can probably imagine how excited I was when Too Faced announced they were putting out a sequel to the PB&J palette, the Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey Palette. I want to note that I originally got this from Ulta before it’s release as a Platinum Perk, it’s currently available to purchase online, and it will be available to purchase in stores on Sunday March 19th. For my full review and live swatches, make sure to check out the video below!
Packaging
As you can see Too Faced kept with the same type of packaging that they normally do with their 9-pan palettes. It is also very similar to the Peanut Butter and Jelly palette previously released. I love that the piece of bread has a cute little face on it, that the coloring of the package matches the theme, and that the description under the bread says “creamy and decadent eye shadow palette”.
Once you open the palette you can see that the layout of the shadows is, again, the same as other 9-pan palettes. Not only do you have names and layout descriptions around the shadows but you have a mirror on the top that is currently covered by the informational booklet, let’s get rid of that shall we?…
There we go. The mirror is the same mirror you would get on any other Too Faced 9-pan palette. It’s complete with the brand name at the top and the palette name at the bottom. Overall the packaging is spectacular for this palette and Too Faced did a great job putting it together. For more of my thoughts on the packaging, check out the above video.
Shadows
As I mentioned earlier, each shadow has it’s name underneath it in the pan and each row has a theme to it. The top row is, Sweet as Honey; the middle row is, Queen Bee; and the bottom row is, PB&H. As far as names, themes, and first impressions of the colors Too Faced did a great job of putting this palette together. I love the names like Bee’s Knees and Honey Buns. However, the real question is “How do they perform?”, let’s find out! Oh before we get to the swatches, I do want to mention that I swatched in columns (up and down) rather than rows and I swatched from bottom to top. I did not do this intending to be difficult, although it seems like it haha, I actually took these photos from the video above so they were more authentic!
Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey Swatches
The first column, the bigger pans, consists of (from bottom to top) Queen Bee, Bee Sweet, and Creamed Honey. As you can see these hardly show up on my skin and I REALLY piled them on for the swatch. PLUS, this is a finger swatch which usually is more pigmented than a brush swatch. When it came to performance with a brush on the eye, they didn’t do much better. I had to really dig in to use these as even a brow highlight and it blended away with the slightest touch. For me, these shades are really only good for setting whatever primer you used on the eye.
The second column consists of Honey Buns, Honey Brittle, and Peanut Butter. These were more pigmented than the other three, obviously, as these are one swipe swatches! Not only were these shades more pigmented but they performed a little bit better as well. Initially I was a bit intimidated by the Honey Bun shade, the yellow one, but once I got it on the eye and blended it in with other shadows it was perfect. For me, these shades are all great crease or transition shades.
The last column consists of Feelin’ Nutty, Bee’s Knees, and Going Nuts. Again, these were more pigmented than the first column but this column does have some fallout when applying. You’re either going to want to do your eye makeup first or you’re going to want really make sure you tap off any excess from your brush. Going Nuts may be my favorite shadow in the entire palette, it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Final Thoughts
My overall thoughts are this; if you’re a collector of Too Faced products or if you already have the Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette and want the companion palette to complete the set then YES you should get it. However, if you already have shades similar to the ones in this palette, especially ones that perform better, than you’re going to want to SKIP this one.
Looks like a really neat brand. I will admit I would purchase it based on the look and name alone 😉 Super cute!
I did that for the Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly palette!
Those are some very interesting colors! I have never heard of this brand before, but would totally love to have those colors! I’m going to check them out!
This is such a pretty palette! I love peanut butter but I never thought I would buy makeup based off it haha.
I know right!
I really appreciate that you show every color on your skin for a true idea of what to expect. Being that I am a bit more olive complected, I wonder if the lighter shades would stand out more? Either way, Going Nuts is my ideal shadow shade.
I really think they would. The super light colors would make perfect brow highlights or inner corner highlights on a deeper skin tone.
They makeup itself may not perform as well as some, but it certainly comes in nice shades. I kind of dig this palette.
Too Faced is great about coming up with shades and names, I hate that their shadows have been underperforming lately though.
That is such a fun palette! I love those colors even if I don’t generally wear them myself.
Those colors are great! They really do remind me of peanut butter and honey. I love it.
They really do! Too Faced did a great job of selecting colors and names for this palette.
I find this sort of thing exceedingly confusing. Am I putting on makeup or am I having a snack? LOL. Seriously, though. Those are nice colors.
Ha! I can see why you feel that way lol. You should the highlighter that’s designed to look like a pizza!
These are colors my Daughter is going to love. This will be a great gift idea for her birthday. She is always asking for more makeup.
I love Too Faced and have a collection. These colors are great and I don’t have them….YET!
Those names are so adorable! This is a gorgeous palette. IT seems to have all the colors I like! Plus, it makes such a great gift!
I love this color palette! These colors are my favorite! Very versatile and perfect for a simple and everyday look. D
Thank you for you honest review. I do not have the Two Faced Peanut butter and Jelly Palette, so I guess I won’t be interested in this Peanut Butter and Honey. I agree that it does not have that much pigmentation so you’d have to apply more to get the color in. Personally, I think that would be wasteful.
That’s exactly what I’m taking about! I hate when shadows have the potential but you have to waste so much to get it there. Maybe the next one won’t be as bad *shrugs*
I am in LOVE with Too Faced!! I have been eyeballing this palette and it looks perfect.
I hope you like it!
This is the best named make up ever! i love the colors, Going Nuts looks like a great shade for me.
What a fun palette and colors! I am so checking this out!
The packaging looks nice as always. It’s a trademark of Too Faced to make theirs so adorable! I think the shades are nice too, it’s not something that I would get for myself but these are quite lovely.
