For today's review I'm finally going to talk about Too Faced The Bronzed And The Beautiful Palette-Original. They have a new bronzed palette out that is why I mention it's the original bronzer palette. I wanted to do this review not only because it's a great trio of bronzers for the summer but because it completely sold out at Sephora and other outlets but there is still time for you to purchase this at Too Faced Cosmetics before it's completely gone. This had always been on my "post" list and somehow got left behind so jump on it if you think you would like to have a set. In my honest opinion these shades are more highlighters than bronzers and I have light skin. Pink Leopard casts a warm soft glow and Sun Bunny provides most of the sun kissed warmth to your face as it's the darkest but can be worn on light skin. Snow bunny is more of a highlighter but all three would look great to amplify sun tanned skin. Snow bunny is great for me in the winter. Some product info before posting my results below.

TOO FACED THE BRONZED AND THE BEAUTIFUL PALETTE (ORIGINAL)

Go on and get your glow on with Too Faced collection of best-selling bronzers! A couture collection containing Snow Bunny, a skin-perfecting winter bronzer, Sun Bunny, the cult favorite medium bronze and Pink Leopard, an illuminating tropical tan.

  Pro: three best selling bronzers in one kit, travel size best selling flatbuki brush, synthetic hair brush, travel friendly palette, nice size mirror-decent pigments-cruelty free-long lasting powder, good size mirror, collectible kit, well constructed

Con: a bit pricey, small fill weight of individual powders, could be a little bit more richly pigmented

My results: I think this is a great kit to have if you want to try all three of Too Faced best selling bronzers and if your a Too Faced collector in general. It's a fun palette with lovely beach inspired graphics and comes with a good size mirror and a mini version of their best selling flatbuki brush. The reason I purchased this was for a chance to try all three shades and because you can never have too much Snow Bunny. I have snow bunny in the holiday palette plus a full size compact, it's one of my favorite highlighters. I also managed to get this at a discount because to tell the truth it is a bit pricey for such a small amount of product. I found the fill weight for each shade on back of the box- each shade is 2.5 grams and 4 for Snow Bunny but I think they look smaller than? If you like collectible palettes and want to try these shades you might like this or even consider giving this as a gift because it's pretty.

The Packaging: The palette is well constructed cardboard with a magnetic closure, good size mirror on the inside top and lovely beach inspired graphics all over the box. It's not really big about 4 x 4 inches all around which makes it easy to travel with and throw in your bag. Inside you will also find a small version pink metallic flatbuki brush about 2 inches long, very comfortable to hold in your hand with soft synthetic bristles. If you want the product to show up on your face with this brush you'll need a lot of swipes because the bristles are so soft. This annoys me a bit so I use a better professional thicker bristled brush when I'm running out of patience.

The Formula: The powders are decently pigmented but could have been richer in my opinion and they are a little on the sheer side. I guess that's good with bronzers so you can build on it without adding too much dark powder on your face. Snow Bunny is the lightest and more of a highlighter. Pink Leopard is almost like snow bunny with more warmth in the formula and you need a good hard bristles brush to really grab the pink pigment in this one or it comes up sheer. Sun Bunny looks darker than it actually is, it adds sun kissed warmth without any orange tint to it and you can layer it with light blending or turn it up a notch if you want more tint. I use Sun Bunny allover and on my eyes too. Snow bunny glistens more than the other two shades and is gorgeous in the winter for a pick me up to your skin! These bronzers should work well to brighten up all skin tones and because it's sheer in formula the actual tints may not pick up on some skin tones but it will add sheen to your skin especially if you get a nice tan. Fair to light skin will pick up pigments the most and medium to darker skin will pick up the sheen more. I love that the colors are natural looking like you have been out in the sun and will not make you look orange skinned. You either will love this or will be annoyed the pigments are not as dark as you like. For those of you who generally like a whisper of warmth and a touch of some glimmer to your face this will please you as it's very subtle and not darkening to you complexion. I like this more than the new bronzer palette that came out because those shades look darker for my light skin tone.

All in all it's a fun collectible palette giving you a chance to try all three shades before committing to a full size individual purchase with a cute flatbuki brush inside. If you can find this on sale or get a discount code like I did you wont feel so bad about buying it because it is a little pricey for this. It's also a good trio of highlighters to add a pop of glisten and warmth to wake up your skin although the formula could have been better pigmented. I was a little mixed up on how to rate this so I'm giving it a four starfish rating because for my skin tone the colors work great and the palette has all three shades conveniently placed in one set. It would have gotten a higher rating for more product because individually they aren't that big, collectively it's almost about one full size compact. Also I would like to have seen more pigmentation yet it still works good on my skin and it is cruelty free. If this seems like a set you may not like due to the colors then maybe the second edition which is available now in darker chocolate shades may be more suitable for you. Let me know which one you have or are thinking of getting and what you think of these kits. But if you want this one hurry up and grab one because they sold out everywhere else.Stay beautiful! XOXO
