My Review: Too Faced Stardust Palette

stardust paletteTo quote Buddy the Elf, “I’m in love, I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it.”

I’m a sucker for an eyeshadow palette. I’ve created my own 24 color palettes at MAC (more times than I’m willing to admit), and have purchased them from Urban Decay (Naked2), Smashbox (Full Exposure), and Lorac (Unzipped and MegaPro Palette 2, Duchess, Queen, Countess, Princess)-just to name a few.

So, basically what I’m saying is–you can trust me on eyeshadow palettes. I LOVE the Stardust palette by Vegas Nay for Too Faced. Naomi Giannopoulos, better known as @vegas_nay of Instagram fame has teamed up with Too Faced to create her own eye kit. #vegasnayfortoofaced

And I could not be more thrilled. Originally available at Ulta for $45, this set has become hard to come by once it starting flying of the shelves! 12 colors from shimmery to matte to metallic to glitter make for the perfect day to evening looks. Each color has a Las Vegas themed name (home of @vegas_nay). That would have already sold me (I was already like “OMG 12 colors, I need that.”), but WAIT-THERE’S MORE! The set comes with six eyeshadow look cards that teach you how to recreate each style. It also comes with a mini Too Faced Shadow Insurance eyeshadow primer, a mini Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, and a mini Too Faced Glamour Dust in “Nude Beam.”

While the more glittery colors can move around (i.e. get glitter on your face) without the primer or some Too Faced Glitter Glue, this is one of the best pigmented palettes I’ve come across. When applied with primer, they stay on all day and night.

Here’s my rendition of the “Fully Charged” look, using Chandelier, Sin City, #selfie, Follow Me, and Millenial. Followed by some other looks I created using the Stardust palette.

This was a great evening look that I added some false lashes to for extra glam.

A daytime look I created from the Stardust palette using Millenial in the crease, Chandelier on the brow, #selfie on the lid, and Showgirl on the outer lid corner.

And another one, just because!
