OH JOY

When I purchase eyeshadows, almost always buy a palette.  I just feel you get more bang for your buck, and I love the fact that you get multiple shadows for one price.  My latest purchase is Too Faced's Joy To The Girls eyeshadow palette.

My first reaction when I saw this palette was one of awe. There were so many colors in various hues that I did not know where to begin.  The palette comes with 15 eyeshadows, a full-sized Lashgasm mascara and three helpful glam guides showing how to achieve looks for the weekday, the weekend and party time.

From Left to Right: Cookie Dough; Cheers!; Prancer; Sugar Plum; Mulberry and Snow Angel

Some past Too Faced palettes have had spunky pops of colors.  However, in this palette Too Faced played it a little safe and relied on neutral colors.  It is very girly and not too harsh or too edgy.  In addition to neutral looks, you can create sultry looks or more of a festive look.  The shadows are highly pigmented and has finishes which include shimmery, matte and metallic shades.

The mascara, Lashgasm, has a thin, rubber wand.  I liked how long it made my lashes appear and that it did not get overly clumpy.

Joy To The Girls makes going holiday glam amazingly easy. The palette come with universally flattering shades and van be worn alone or layered beautifully for endless possibilities.

Too Faced's Joy To The Girls retails for $46.00.  The company lists the value as $275.00.  They have discontinued  a majority  of their shadow singles, so it is difficult to say if the value is accurate.  You can buy Joy To The Girls at Sephora, Ulta, www.toofaced.com and www.hsn.com.
