This is probably my most exciting purchase of the entire year, and most adored Christmas release in my eyes! Too Faced always bring out AMAZING collections from the quality, to the names of products, to the packaging. I almost didn't even pick this palette up as I thought that it was quite similar to the Chocolate Bar Palette, with the neutral shades. Boy was I wrong! Keep reading to hear my thoughts on the Too Faced Merry Macarons Palette!!
Seriously, that packaging though. It comes in a box with an adorable bow pictured on the lid, and when you remove the lid, it opens up to be a cute little 3D display box. I am horrible at describing things, but it reminds me of the boxes you would make in primary school with the 3D objects coming out of the box. Catch my drift? Moving on.... it is absolutely adorable, and the pastel colours just scream Too Faced Christmas! This set comes with a deluxe size of the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara which is my all-time favourite mascara!
The best part about this gift set is that the palette actually separates from the display! Often times, companies create AMAZING packaging for holiday collections, but they can be quite bulky and often not as desirable for everyday use and/or travelling. This eyeshadow palette can be taken out of the display, meaning you can store it easily. If you desire, you could even keep the box/display for keepsake if that tickles your pickle. The downside to this palette is that there is no mirror inside, which could be a deal-breaker for some, but honestly it's not even a huge issue for me as I generally will have a million other products with a mirror that I can use!
The palette is vanilla scented, and just smells like a delicious cupcake! With 12 warm eyeshadow shades with a mixture of matte and shimmer, you can't go wrong. There are a lot of purple hues in the palette which I absolutely love, as I find purple compliments a lot of different eye colours. They swatch like a dream! So buttery and pigmented and VERY easily blendable! Stand-out shades for me would have to be Banana Cream, Champagne Rose & Honey Lavender.

This palette retails for $57 at Mecca and is Limited Edition, which I believe to be a bloody bargain for the products you get! This is hands down probably one of my favourite palettes I have ever owned, and highly suggest you go have a play with it in-store before it sells out ! I am giving it a 4.5 out of 5, ONLY for the fact that the palette doesn't come with a mirror.
Stay tuned for more Christmas posts to come xo
