Too Faced Peaches and Cream: Just Peachy Mattes Velvet Matte Eyeshadow Palette

A couple weeks ago, Too Faced released their much-anticipated Peaches and Cream collection, which was created exclusively for Sephora. Peaches and Cream sees the release of 11 different formulas for face, eyes, and lips, including one new and permanent eyeshadow palette called Just Peachy Mattes. It is infused with "refreshing peaches and sweet fig cream — ingredients known for their hydrating and antioxidant-rich benefits — to help keep skin moisturized, comfortable, and beautifully matte." Just Peachy Mattes is described as "a long-wearing eyeshadow palette with 12 highly-pigmented, matte hues" consisting of "warm peaches, buttery creams, and rich browns" that "are infused with exclusive comfort matte technology for blendable, intense colour-payoff."

Like its name implies, Just Peachy Mattes is an entirely matte eyeshadow palette. It has a light "peaches and cream" scent that does not linger after application. (Compared to the scent of the Sweet Peach collection products, the scent in Just Peachy Mattes is softer and more muted — imagine peach Hi-Chew rather than Fuzzy Peaches.) It is housed in a rectangular mirrored compact with gold trim. The lid features a peach-to-cream ombré background with the name of the product and a peach graphic in reflective gold. Each Just Peachy Mattes palette contains a total of 15 grams of product (1.25 g per eyeshadow) and retails for $55 at Sephora (both in stores and online) as well as on Too Faced's website.

I'm not gonna say that this is a must-have because the market is so saturated with warm, red-toned eyeshadow palettes right now, but I will say that this is really freaking cute and the formula in this palette is truly gorgeous. Each shadow is smooth, silky, and pigmented, with great colour pay-off and superior blendability. I didn't find them to be particularly dry or chalky, nor overly powdery. All the shades here have great wear time (at least eight hours before fading), and I didn't find there to be a significant amount of fall-out. In terms of packaging, this is definitely the classiest and most luxe compact that Too Faced has released — they're known for their metal tin-style cases, but this one is sleeker with its gold trim and clasp enclosure (they definitely took a page from Becca here). There is a bit of overlap with the Sweet Peach palette in terms of tone, but overall, it's different enough to merit buying — whereas Sweet Peach focuses on more muted peaches, browns, and plums, Just Peachy Mattes features brighter peaches, corals, and reddened browns. (The inclusion of brighter corals like Just Peachy and Peach Punch might even be its saving grace, because it makes this palette more unique than other warm palettes out there.) Conclusion: Think of Just Peachy Mattes as the bolder and sassier sister to Sweet Peach, and if you're a warm palette fiend, this one is well worth looking at.
