Holiday 2018: Too Faced Sugar Cookie & Tickled Peach Mini Palettes (Review & Swatches)

Too Faced mini eyeshadow palettes

Too Faced launched a lot of holiday items this year, and two of the most surprising and unique ones were these mini palettes – Sugar Cookie and Tickled Peach!

What surprised me about these launches is that they’re not particularly holiday inspired (not a problem for me really, I like the departure from the traditional Christmas-y stuff), and yet they’re great for stocking stuffers or smaller presents for people. Each palette has 8 shadows which is fairly impressive given that the entire palette fits in the palm of my hand!

The Sugar Cookie seems to be an Ulta and TooFaced.com exclusive item as I haven’t spotted it at Sephora yet. It retails for $26 USD and contains 8 shadows – 2 of which have 0.95 grams of product, and the other 6 have 0.8 grams.

The Sugar Cookie palette is on the more neutral side of things with a touch of pink. And the best part? It actually smells like sugar cookies! Kind of a sweet, sugary slightly vanilla flavour.

The swatches are quite pigmented, and I did find they blended out nicely on the eye.  Nom Nom is more of a particle shimmer than a smooth shimmer, but I liked it nonetheless.

I was happy that I was able to diffuse Tough Coookie to make it look more purple than the almost black it appears in the pan. Gives me a little bit more colour variety to work with, you know?

While Sugar Cookie was fun, it was really Tickled Peach that I was the most excited to use! Too Faced has definitely gone down the road of adding products to their Peaches & Cream range, but for me it’s the original Sweet Peach that really gets me excited.

And this mini palette smells just like the original Sweet Peach! I was so excited! I love that sharp peach candy scent, and I was so happy they decided to release this one since it’s basically an extension of the larger palette.

That being said, you definitely don’t need the larger palette in order to work with the mini because you do have a full set of shadows in here to cover every area on your eye: brow bone highlight, transition, lid and outer corner colours are all covered here.

I was wearing the look above in my October haul video and got a ton of compliments on it – seems I’m not the only one in love with the colour combination!

Final Thoughts

I’m pretty impressed with both two mini palettes that Too Faced has launched for the holidays, but it’s definitely Tickled Peach that has stolen my heart. I wish they’d continue to put out more and more products in the original Sweet Peach scent since it’s far and above my favourite.

What really stuck out about these palettes is that they’re incredibly compact, and yet they’re only one shadow short of their regular 9-pan palette structure (a la Peanut Butter & Jelly, Totally Cute, etc.). I like that the packaging doesn’t feel cheap either – with a palette this small you want it to feel sturdy, and since these replicate their larger Chocolate Bar packaging with the metallic tin and magnetic closure these do feel like they’re quite solid. There’s also a good mix of metallic and shimmers.

I’d love to see Too Faced put more of these types of mini palettes out with different themes. I love their big palettes, but it’s nice to see something a bit more compact.

The Too Faced Tickled Peach palette can be purchased at sephora.ca for $32 CAD or on sephora.com for $26 USD. The Sugar Cookie palette can be purchased at ulta.com for $26 USD.

    1. I do feel like the peach one had a slightly better formulation in comparison to the cookie one, so you didn’t miss out on too much. BUT, I get the sentiment of wanting to own both and I doubt I would’ve left it alone until I had both in my possession. The Ulta exclusives are so bloody frustrating!
