Too faced Natural Eye Palette

Going au naturale? oui oui. I went into boots to buy my usuals. Hair products, toiletries, etc etc and passed through the urban decay counter. I quickly went to to see if they had the naked palette but to no avail. (UD we need them!) The other palettes were nice but I needed neutral everyday colors for work. I then noticed the Too Faced counter! They had cute little palettes. The naked eye and natural eye palette caught my attention right away. Both had great neutral colors. I went with the natural eye as it had more warm tone colors then the naked eye. Naked eye would suit cool tone people more as the natural eye would suit warm tone.



 
It comes in a cute nude colored box with a huge picture of a pretty eye. It has a magnetic closing. On the inside of the flap you get 3 cards with different looks and instructions on how to achieve these looks. You get Fashion, Classic and Day looks. Being a newbie with makeup, these were incredibly helpful.

Now on to the shadows. You get 9 shadows. 3 of them being an all over lid color. These are bigger at 6 grams. You get Heaven which is a matte light cream color. Silk Teddy a shimmery pink-beige and nude beach, a glittery pink champagne. The other ones are 5.4 grams. You get Velvet revolver which a matte cool toned taupe. Sexpresso, a matte dark chocolate. Push-up, a shimmery neutral bronzey light brown(this is one of my faves!)Erotica, a light shimmery charcoal taupe. Honey Pot, a shimmery gold and Cocoa Puff, a warm chocolate brown. Like milk chocolate! I would say these colors are very pigmented and are honestly butter smooth.

This palette also comes with a little pull out drawer that contains an eyeshadow/eye liner duo brush. This palette cost me £23 and worth every single penny. I find each shadow very useful and very matchable. My least favorites are nude beach for it's frosty color and heaven because it's too light for my olive skin. All in all though it's a beautiful palette that pretty much suits every skin tone. If your needing something to fill the void till you get the Urban Decay Naked palette, then get this! They can be found at Boots, Debenhams and House Of Fraser.
