I received this as a Christmas product a while ago. I was excited to try it because it looked so pretty and the eye shadow colours were actually quite wearable. I was disappointed when I tried them out and it made my eyes sore and red. Also, I read that this product was made in China. I would expect a higher end brand like Too Faced to not outsource their products if they are still charging a lot. The blush is an ok colour, but it builds up to look really cakey.

I bought this at Nordstrom Rack for about $8. I thought I was going to really love this palette.  I mean, c'mon, it features 8 "nude-like" shadows, 1 terracotta like blush, and 4 lip glosses in a compact size -- perfect for my on-the-go life style!  But I honestly wasn't all that impressed with this palette.  When I swatched them I only really liked two of the shadows (the first and fifth shadow -- unfortunately none of these shadows were named).  Additionally, the shadows had a lot of fallout without primer, and the lighter shades I had to keep building and building for there to be color payoff.  The blush was just okay, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.  I liked the shade, and how it was semi-matte (not matte in the pan, but when on the glitter is practically gone).  But it was also quite powdery and I didn't find that it could last me my entire 9 hour shift in the ER.  This palette was definitely a dud in a book.  Thankfully it was only $7.97, so maybe I'll just keep it in my car. -__-  Here are the swatches: (swatches are property of http://melliecay.blogspot.com, please don't steal):

This has been a lifesaver! I take this in my bag with me everywhere, and if I need a touchup or want some liner under my lower lashes or whatever, along with my portable brushes this is my HG! love the fact that it has a good sized mirror in it also, so that since the lighting is BAD in the bathrooms at work, I can take it to better lighting and check my makeup or to make sure no mascara has flaked all over my face ( I HATE that OMG). Love this palette, and thx for being there for me :)

It's ok-eye colors are nice-soft w/ just the right amount of sparkle an ideal everyday look. I love that the case is smaller than my cell.
The blush is a weird color that looks muddy on & 2 of the glosses are too bright for me. I think my problem may be my yellow undertones. I would suggest this for a more cool toned person. I do like packaging except that the blush gets all in the glosses which is gross.

I am a palette junkie and this is still my favorite go to set for travel. The shadows are all so pretty, and even though the blush looks kind of blah in the pan it's very flattering on my light olive skin. i only wear lip stains so i can't say much about the glosses. I've probably purchased 10 other palettes since this one, but this is always the one i come back to.

Ugh how disappointing :(

I really do not like this palette. The eye shadows are not pigmented (only 2 are), they feel cheap and not silky or smooth, the lip glosses smell and taste gross, and the blush is SUPER chalky and powdery. I especially hate the blush since it makes my cheeks look dirty. No matter how lightly I apply it, it still looks dirty. I hate how the powder residue (thanks to the blush being so powdery ) made the glosses into a goopy mess. I literally had to cover up the glosses so the powder from the blush would not get into them. I really dislike this palette. Luckily it was a free thing I got, so I did not pay for it, but damn I never would buy this.

I only like the cute packaging of it.

I bought their palette with a Sephora gift card. I like it, although i kinda wish a got perfume instead.

I usually wear dirt cheap makeup, and this palette I thought would be a great way to introduce myself to "high end" makeup.

The color payoff is better than what I'm used to. I LIKE all of the colors and I enjoyed being able to try the products. Many of the glosses come in colors I never would have tried on my own, and I'm surprised to find that I generally like them. (The frosty pink, for example.) I even like the vanilla-y smell.

Texture is a little weird. The shadows are a little grainy, like drugstore makeup, and the glosses are more gooey than creamy and fade quickly. I think the blush color is a little dark. I usually like something brighter.

I wouldn't buy this again, or anything else from Too Faced probably, but the package is really convenient. I keep it in my purse for touch ups on late nights. I hope other brands begin making more travel pallettes in more colors.

I got this as a birthday present and thought it was so cute. I have light-med skin and I think the colors would look much better on someone with fair skin or dark skin because the colors of the eye shadows are neutral tones but with shimmer. It was very boring for my yellowish-tan skin and didn't really make my dark brown eyes pop, not to mention I have med-dark brown hair. The eye shadow pigments are true to color and feels very soft. The lip glosses are like kids make up and the blush in visage surprisingly gave my cheeks little bumps. I would use the eye shadows if I'm in a hurry but this is not top picks out of my make up case.

I was pretty disappointed when I first used this product just because I thought the packaging of it was really cute and portable, which it is! But the smell and quality of it just seems so "cheap" and not so worth the price of it which is practically $20 plus tax. The packaging of this product however really is a cute idea of "Glamour to go" it really is helpful if you have no makeup on and want to try it on, but not for touching your makeup up. It comes in 8 eye shadows which are very neutral, natural eye shadows colors that only may look good on certain skin tones, certainly not all. Most of them are either too light or too dark for me and the blush color is ok for me, it's not too bad, but definitely not a blush I would "go to" when contouring my face. The lip glosses I definitely do not use at all! It just smells so cheap and it works so cheap as well. If I would use this product, I would only use it if I running late to some casual coffee or something, not anything big.

But positive feedback for this product is that the packaging is really small and cute for to go makeup. Overall, it's a miss for me I wouldn't buy this product again. I would buy it for a friend of mine that just started getting into makeup and at a "beginner" stage, but as for me, I would not purchase again. Hope this helped.

Originally I wanted the new Naked pallette by Urban Decay, but after testing out some of the colors on myself in the store I realized it just wasn't for me. Every color was either too bronze-y or too glittery and dark - nothing I would ever wear. I went searching for something similar that would give me that same "naked" but enhanced look, and I wound up buying this little compact for the shadows alone. (In fact, I did not realize until I was home that there was even a second drawer underneath with lip glosses and a blush.) So I'm basically reviewing the shadows, since the rest of it is pretty much useless for me as I don't wear lip products and I already have a blush I like a lot.
As far as the shadows go... I love the color selection. I love their sheerness. And I love the little package it comes in. I go through eyeshadow extremely slowly, and I'd rather have it all handy in my purse than have a lot of each which I can't take with me. I can create a lot of different looks with what's included here, and miraculously, none of the colors overwhelms me when applied. That's because, as others have mentioned, they're not very pigmented. What you see in the pan is not what you get. But I actually like that, since every combination I've tried so far looks so soft and natural. So for me, this is an excellent substitute for the much pricier and less fitting Naked Pallette.
On the other hand, without primer, these shadows simply disappear. Sometimes even with primer they fade quickly. So I'm torn. I love the look I get for about 2 hours, and then it's gone. So sad since the colors themselves are so beautiful and have so much potential. That's why I gave it a 2 rating. I'll probably be returning this and looking for something similar with better staying power, or looking for a better primer (these do not work with BeneFit's Stay Don't Stray eyelid primer at all).
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that unless your skin is extremely pale, none of these colors are going to show up on you at all.

What a disappointment. There's no color payoff. Seriously I can't see te shadows on my eye even with a primer. The yellow is chalky ( it's the only one the shows up). the texture of the shadows is gritty. The blush is okay and the glosses have a weird texture to them (too thick) and they dried my lips. The mirror broke almost immediately. Don't buy it.

Glosses are gritty and have a funky smell; blush does not show up at all, shadows are okay but nothing to write home about. The compact itself is cute and functional, I like the mirror, but who cares about that when the product inside is crappy? Back to Ulta it goes.

The eye shadows are excellent, which is mainly why I bought this. I especially love the smoky blue color (more gray than blue when applied); it really accents my brown eyes. The green will also be my another favorite which looks to be a camo kind of green. The colors are long lasting even when only applied over foundation. The lightest lip color is very nice and is almost an icy nude. It lasted several hours and my lips still feel soft even after eating. The brightest pink gloss I probably won't use - too Barbie-ish for me, but the other colors look decent. The blush is a barely there brown-rose color that is a very nice neutral and easy to apply. The blush is a bit powdery and being next to the glosses has me worried a bit that the blush will transfer to the glosses. This is a small, sturdy compact about the size of a credit card and almost one inch thick. It fits nicely in my makeup bag that I use in my purse. Overall, it's a great little set of makeup. It would have been even nicer to come with some applicators, but where to fit them I wouldn't know.

Rarely have I ever bought a palette that I can use all of the eye shadows. Before I stated using shadow insurance (Too Faced) the shadows would definitely wear off in 4-6hrs. The primer really picks up the pigment of the shadows.
Two of the lip gloss colors work well with my skin tone and are appropriate for day time. One is way too bubble gum pink and the purple one is more evening time. They're a little sticky but are an easy addition when I feel like wearing lip gloss.
The blush is a very flattering color almost a rose with gold sparkle. The sparkle is very subtle.
The whole palette has eyes, lips, cheek that you would need for getting ready.

So I came across this palette and bought it on a whim, because the colors were very much my cup of tea and the price for all that stuff it contains was barely believable. Alright, I won't lie, I also got it for the brilliantly cute packaging.
While it's very nice to have around, esthetically pleasing and really convenient, I'm afraid the quality let me down a bit. I was expecting much better.
This contains eight eyeshadows, four lipglosses and one blush, which people before me have already described so I won't go there. I'm very pleased with the color selection, as I'm fair skinned, and I find that these shades all work very nicely for me. They're all natural, elegant and appropriate for any time and occasion; better suited for soft, clean understated looks, which I prefer over loud and funky anyway. However the fact is, these eyeshadows are very, very sheer. While they're rather soft and smooth (though not the smoothest I've come across), they go on as a light, sheer wash of the color in the pan. The most characteristic example is the steel grey, probably the darkest, deepest shade in the palette, which only appears as light to medium grey on the lid. I'm personally ok with that because I prefer understated, sheer and buildable, but most people expect to get the shade they see in the pan, and reasonably so.
To make matters worse, these eyeshadows don't last long, not even over TFSI, which is shocking, because it's the first time I've ever come across eyeshadow that beats Shadow Insurance. I didn't even think this was possible.
As for the lipglosses, those are ok and even though I don't like palette lipglosses, I do use them for quick, simple looks and they do the job alright. they don't last either, but that's ok for lipgloss, and the palette is compact enough to carry around for touchups anyway.
The blush is a shimmery rose color, which I'm not crazy about, but I do use.
All in all, for the price, this palette is a very nice deal and very convenient. I plan to carry this when travelling instead of a bunch of other products I usually take with me. I don't regret it at all, and while I don't think the products in it will thrill many people, they happen to suit my needs for the most part. To be honest I don't think I'd buy again though, and I don't really see myself finishing this anytime soon.

Wouldn't recommend this, the shadow selection is weird, and the lipglosses are terrible. Cute packaging and nice for travel, but that's all it has going for it.

I wanted so much to like this palette! but i just could not! I was so disappointed. The eyeshadows were very pigmented but lacked staying power, even with a primer. The blush was just way to glittery! A nice shade, would have been perfect if it was matte but it is not. And the lipglosses, those were the worst of all! I read on the sephora website a review by a customer who said the lipglosses looked like something her 8 year old would wear, and she was right. The colors were awful. They just were not good quality at all. And one in particular was so sticky, when i dipped by brush in and removed it, there was a sting of lipgloss attached to my brush. This is just not a good product. Wish they would have put more effort into the quality of the products rather than just the thought of it. :(

I really like this little travel kit. I have this in the "fairy" edition, it's basically the same colors as the one shown in the picture. I like the blush and the lip gloss a lot. The lip gloss is extremely creamy and glides on very well. I like that the fact it is very small, so its perfect to put in your purse or clutch for touch ups. The eye shadows are pretty pigmented, not very deep, but they are fine. I keep this little palette at my work for touch ups. It also has a nice lil mirror. I received this as a gift so I can't comment on the price, I believe its around $20? I think this would make a great present for anyone.

I really love this palette! I have fair skin, and most palettes usually come with one or two colors in it that I can't wear, but everything in this palette looks beautiful on me. I bought it primarily for the eyeshadows (isn't it the only affordable way to buy eyeshadows?), but I was surprised at how much I like the lip colors. They are surprisingly pigmented, and the color stains your lips, so you don't have to reapply all day. The blush is a little sparklier than I would have gone for if I was looking for an individual product, but I do find that I use it when I go out. Generally speaking, the quality is spectacular... except for the packaging, which isn't all that sturdy, so DO NOT drop it, because you will get your product all over the floor. Not that this happened to me, but you can always tell. It's plastic, after all.
Bottom line: I recommend this if you're looking for an easy way to add color to your makeup bag.
