Thoughts: I've passed on other eyeshadow palettes from Too Faced because the colors don't interest me, scent, or both. This is the first palette I didn't mind the scent, as well as, the colors.
Now for the looks...
Look #1:
Look #2:
Look #3:
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's a strong scent while applying. It's also noticeable when you open the palette. If you're not a fruity person or in general the scent peach, then this isn't for you. I actually like the scent. I prefer it over chocolate. I like eating chocolate but to smell it isn't my thing. Secondly, I love the packaging. It's cute, girly, and just plain peach. It's hard to explain but everything in every way is peach; the color, the drawing, and the design. The palette is made out of metallic. I, personally, prefer metallic than paper packaging. It just looks more sturdier and cleaner. It's basically up to the individual. With that said, I don't see scratches, dents, and finger marks. It also comes with a metallic closure. It's fun opening and closing the palette. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. I cannot see it open and break unless you are rough with the packaging. It also comes with a mirror but the design kind of covers it. Thankfully, I have a full-size mirror at home which I prefer than the mirror from the palette. Third, it comes with 18 eyeshadows from peach to dark brown but on the warm side. The consistency range from matte to shimmer. It's easy to apply and it glides on the lids. It's also easy to blend and once blended, it doesn't look like one color on the eyes. You can see the gradient but it works well together. This is a great, versatile palette. Fourth, the reason why I got this palette is that peachy/warm tones are in. I'm seeing it everywhere. Usually, I don't follow the trend. I know myself to know that I would use it once and go back to my neutrals (browns and golds). Since I love warm tones, I knew I would wear it more than once. Plus, I don't own any in this family or at least I don't think so. For that reason, it gave me justification to get it. I've been trying to be good not purchasing things but the key word is trying. If you're not into warm tones, I don't recommend this palette. With that said, I was impressed with the pigmentation. You can tell from my swatches above. The camera washes the swatches even though I use day light. Trust me the swatches was washed out and that was the result. It's more opaque in person. Since it's pigmented, I didn't have to layer on colors for it to show on my eyes. If you're dark skin, it might not completely show but it should be great for fair to medium tone skin. Lastly, it lasted all day on me. It did not crease, fade, or smudge. It looked good at the end of the day as I applied it.

* Strong peach scent.
* Cute, girl packaging.
* Made out of metallic; sturdier and cleaner.

Cons:
* Design kind of covers the mirror.
Would repurchase: Yes.
