Hey my beauties!
Today I’m doing a review (with swatches!) and tutorial for
you of Too Faced’s Enchanted Beauty Foxy Neutrals makeup set.
It is one of two
sets that Too Faced released exclusively at Sephora (and on their site).
Plus, if you order from Sephora's website you get free
samples and a beauty offer!
You can watch my review and step-by-step tutorial here
As usual I waited allllll summer for Too Faced to release
their winter season palettes. And I was so stoked to try these ones out!
If you
follow me on Instagram or YouTube (if not, why not?) you have already seen a
few looks I have created using these palettes.
But, today I am breaking down the Foxy Neutrals collection.
REVIEW & SWATCHES
A pretty foxy fox graces the box and eyeshadow palette of this set.
And she is decked out in crown and a string of pearls 🦊
Back of the box view 👀
The box is adorned with delicately embossed details giving it an extra feminine touch.
The gangs all here! The Foxy Neutrals makeup collection comes with an eyeshadow palette, face palette and a travel size of Too Faced newest mascara!
Pale pink palettes with silver embellishments and a metallic pink diamond cut inspired mini mascara makes this set as beautiful as it is useful 💖
There are 12 eyeshadows in various neutral shades and in multiple finishes. The face palette has a pearl highlighter and matte blush (no bronzer). No primer, or lip product as in past years with Too Faced winter collections, however this palette retails at a lower price than those past palettes, at $36.
EYESHADOW
The eyeshadow palette design is very similar to the box design with the strands of detailed jewels and the cute little princess fox. 👑👸
Admittedly, I am not as big of a neutral eyeshadow lover as I am of more colorful palettes (stayed tuned for the Unbearably Glam counterpart to this palette!) but there are some very lovely shadows in this set.
As the name of the palette indicates the shadow shades
are of the neutral variety making them perfect for everyday eye looks: Zoom
meetings, interviews, running errands (while wearing a mask of course,
#maskup).
Or if you just prefer bronzes, browns, light pinks, more earthy tones
this is the perfect palette for you!
There are 9 different matte shades, 2 shimmers, and 1 glitter.
There is an unusual amount of pinks for a Too Faced winter palette (5 to be exact).
Let’s look at each shade individually with some swatches!
Swatches
I look like a neutral shadow zebra 🦓 but these shades apply so lovely! They blend beautifully and last for a very long time.
Better Not Pout – Peachy-Cream with a matte finish
Last Christmas – Coral pink with a matte finish
Elfed Up – Watermelon pink with a matte finish
Chimney – Ginger with a matte finish
Claus Out – Bubblegum pink with silver shimmer
Lady Bells – Copper with gold glitter
Jingle Jangle – Tawny brown with a matte finish
Drummer Girl – Russet brown with a matte finish
Oh What Fun! – Light pink with a matte finish
Ginger Snatched – Orange red with a matte finish
Cookie Butter – Light bronze with gold & silver
shimmer
Lump of Coal – Black with a matte finish
Stats:
Lasts for: Most shades last for around 8-10 hours
Fallout: A little with a couple of the mattes shades
Blendable: Yes
Chalky/flakey: A little/No
Pros: Smooth, buttery application that are great for blending. These shadows are easily built up to strong shades. The shimmers are lovely and the mattes are soft and don't apply patchy. The glitter shade (Lady Bells) is super sparkly and stays in place.
Cons: A little bit of fallout with mattes (especially
Lump of Coal (black matte) is a bit chalky and powdery. It takes several coats to get to pan shade.
Too many pinks.
Star Rating for Eyeshadows: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ (4 out of 5)
Would I by it Again: Probably Not - I don't use a lot of neutral shades
Final thoughts: These eyeshadows are a lovely texture, easy to work with and long lasting. Overall it is a really great neutral palette. There are really only two shades that I noticed any real drawbacks with (Lump of Coal and Jingle Jangle). I wish it had less pinks and maybe some earthy grays or greens even. But, if you are in the market for a neutral eyeshadow palette this one is a great deal!
FACE
No bronzer this year. Usually in the Sephora exclusive there is always a bronzer shade with the face products. Oddly it didn't make the cut.❔
A pretty good sized highlighter and blush, like they were actually considered and not just a quick extra add last minute in two slivers of product.
Frostbite – Champagne with silver shimmers and a pearly
finish
Here for the Hos – Coral pink with a matte finish
Stats:
Lasts for: Both, Approximately 12 Hours
Smudges/Streaks/Runs: No/No/No
Blendable: Yes
Chalky/Flakey: No/No
Pros: Creamy textures to both blush and highlighter Both are also very easy to blend. The highlighter is pearly perfection: not too shiny, not to dull. The blush is the perfect shade for a wide range of skin tones.
Cons: I wish there was a contour/bronzer shade, but of the actual products I've noticed no cons.
Star Rating for the Face Palette: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I Buy it Again: If it was sold separately, yes.
Final thoughts: Very lovely face products; the perfect amount of shimmer in the highlighter and a universally flattering blush.
MASCARA
Color: Black
Waterproof: No
Formula: Volumizing/Thickening
Wand: Hourglass
Smudges: No
Drying: No
Flakey: No
Lasts for: 10+ Hours
Pros: The thick formula of this mascara almost has a whipped consistency, sort like chocolate mousse texture. It gives lashes a plush boost of volume to lift them up and thickness that makes them look super full and luxurious.
Cons: The consistency is almost too thick in my opinion. Between the massive size of the brush and the formula, many lashes get stuck together with a thick coat of mousse. When I look at the formula it looks so thick that I just want to add water to thin it out (P.S. Do Not add water to your mascara it will ruin your product). The lower lashes are even more difficult to coat evenly.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭑⭑ ( 3 out of 5)
Repurchase: No.
Final thoughts: It definitely can add thickness to lashes, but it also sticks them together with a heavy formula. A lash brush used right after applying can do the trick in separating lashes. It is by no means a bad mascara, it just needs a bit of help to achieve everything it claims to.
TUTORIAL
You can check out my video tutorial here
Here is a little breakdown of the steps to create this look
1. Primer, Better Not Pout, Last Christmas, and Blend: I applied an eyeshadow primer all over my eyes, then brushed Better Not Pout (Peachy, matte) from lash line to brow bone for a nice blank canvas. I traced Last Christmas (Coral pink, matte) through the crease of the eye and winged it out just slightly, and blended it so the line was less harsh.
2. Jingle Jangle, Claus Out, Drummer Girl, and More Blending : I pressed Jingle Jangle (Tawny brown, matte) all over lid up to crease then I topped it with Claus out (Bubblegum pink, shimmer) also pressing that all over the lid. Then I took Drummer Girl on a small brush and applied it to the outer 'v' of the eye and blended all the edges.
3. Lady Bells & Cookie Butter -- Cut Crease: I took a small angled brush and damped it with water, to help pick up glitter, then dipped it into Lady Bells (Copper, glitter) and pressed it through the line of the crease of my eye creating a cut crease effect. Then I applied Cookie Butter (Light bronze, shimmer) to the inner corners of the eyes.
4. Lump of Coal and (more) Drummer Girl: I ran a thin line of Lump of Coal (Black, matte) along my upper lash line and winged it just bit. I used a flat brush to add more Drummer Girl but this time ran it through my lower lash line for extra definition.
5. Mascara, Concealer, Contour & Frostbite Highlighter: I coated top and bottom lashes with Too Faced's newest mascara that came with the set, then used concealer to clean up the little bit of fallout from one of the matte shadows. I ran a contour shade under my cheek bone. Then I brushed on the highlighter that came with the set, Frostbite (Champagne, pearl), to the high points of my face; tops of cheek bones, bridge of nose, forehead.
6. Blush, Powder Foundation and Lip Gloss: I blended the blush that came with the set, Here for the Hos (Coral pink, matte), around the apples and tops of my cheeks bringing together the contour and highlight shades too. I used a powder foundation under my contour line to give it more definition and strength. Then I applied a shimmery lip gloss to my lips.
Which gives us...
I couldn't just go with neutrals and mattes, I had to get a sparkly glitter in there somewhere 😉
It is still a wearable neutral look, with just a pop of glam thrown in there for good measure
