Holiday 2017: Too Faced Best Year Ever (Review & Looks)

Too Faced Best Year Ever

You guys, I feel like I’m on the constant Too Faced hustle! They just put out so many products for the holidays that it’s hard to keep up! For today, we’re focusing on the Too Faced Best Year Ever holiday set – a three pack of Too Faced goodness housed in a cute makeup bag.

Although the Too Faced holiday 2017 collection was very much planner focused, this is the only set that does not come with one. I’m not much of a physical planner person, so that works out for me! This set comes with a Glamour Guide, three palettes with seven shades housed inside, a deluxe size sample of their Better Than Sex mascara, and a makeup bag that says “I have way more makeup at home” (#accurate) to hold everything inside. The makeup bag is a wonderful size and doesn’t feel cheap – I love how much it can hold!

Out of all three holiday sets themed around “Best Year Ever“, this is the one that is the most neutral leaning. It has some additions of pink, but overall this is definitely a more nude/natural friendly set.

The first palette I dug into was the I Believe In Pink palette. All six eyeshadow shades lean towards the pink side of things (although one of the top shades is more cream then the more pink-leaning one beside it). It always has a really bright, hot pink blush to complement the colours.

This palette will definitely get you a very pink eyeshadow look, but it’s beautiful! At first I was nervous about the blush pairing, but I found it worked out really well in practice. Since it’s such a bright shade, definitely go easy with it!

Natural Beauty Palette

The more neutral palette in the set is the Natural Beauty one (makes sense, right?). Instead of a blush, this one has more of a bronzer shade, although since it’s a face product, it could easily double as blush as well. (Really, any powder product can!)

On the eyes, you get your very basic, yet easy to wear neutral eye. The shade, Oh, Deer!, is an especially beautiful shade that I loved in my crease. I wasn’t as in love with the bronzer shade (Warm My Heart) because I felt it was a bit too warm leaning and almost too pigmented for a bronzer.

Super Fun  Night Palette

The last palette turned out to be my absolute favourite. This one is Super Fun Night, and while I had thought the shades were awfully neutral overall, I was so, SO pleased with how my eye look came out!

Sleighhh Girl is a beautiful almost-patina lid shade – I wasn’t expecting that at all from looking at the pan! Tipsy is an interesting bronze… it almost leans kinda green? The pairing of the pink crease was also completely different from what I normally go for, but I really love how it all came together!

If you’re curious about the liner, it’s Hey Mr. DJ from Too Faced‘s Glitter Pop eyeliner range. Full review on that collection over here!

Final Thoughts

Because of the neutral-ness of the Too Faced Best Year Ever set, I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. All three palettes had wonderful colour combinations that I loved so, so much. They were easy to put together eye look without needing to resort to bringing in another palette to help you complete the look. Quality was also EXCELLENT – they were easy to blend and quite pigmented. I found layering shades wasn’t problematic at all, and even when blending in another shade on top, the original colour didn’t lose its integrity.

In short? This is definitely a good buy!

The Too Faced Best Year Ever set can be purchased on sephora.ca for $62 CAD or on sephora.com for $49 USD.
