Too Faced Matte Eye Palette Swatches


Swatch time ^-^ Today I thought I'd share swatches from one of my favorite eye shadow palettes for Fall/Winter season, Too Faced Matte Eye Palette. This beautiful palette comes with 9 matte eye shadows that are both cool and warm neutral tones which easily compliment every eye color. This palette is perfect for creating an everyday look that's soft and refined or a sexy classic matte smokey eye. I definitely recommend this palette to anyone who's looking to have more matte eye shadows in their life.

STILA In The Know Eye Shadow Palette Swatches

I thought I would round-off the final swatches from my ULTA birthday Haul video with my current favorite palette, the Stila In The Know Eye Shadow Palette. I have been obsessed with this product ever since I received it in the mail and I can't stop playing with it :) I love that this palette is full of matte eye shadows, as I tend to lean towards matte products during this fall/winter season. The quality and pigmentation of the eye shadows is amazing. And I love that the shadows are wearable for everyday!






Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope that you found these swatches helpful ^.^ And as always I hope that you have a beautiful day.
xoxo, Katie
