Shade Descriptions:
Poison Orchid – midnight amethyst
Magic Mushroom – neutral pink shimmer
Firefly – antique gold shimmer
Nice Stems! – golden clover
Does it live up to its claims?
Yes. The packaging for the new shadows is really quite cute. Firefly seems to be a ‘rock-crystal shimmer’, while Poison Orchid is a luxe ‘velvety hue’, and Nice Stems! & Magic Mushroom fall into the ‘irreverent iridescence’ category. I found the four shades I picked out to blend easily. Poison Orchid completely blew me away in terms of color, texture and the effect of the shade on the lid. I guess I’m a little jaded when it comes to shadows these days, but I wasn’t wowed by Nice Stems! though it is a pretty shade. It really reminds me of MAC Juxt, but it just isn’t very vibrant. I do like Firefly, as I think it’s an extremely versatile neutral. Magic Mushroom reminds me of Fyrinnae’s Rapunzel Had Extensions. The colors do last all day on me, with the caveat that I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance. If I don’t use a primer, shadows crease and melt off of me in less than an hour.
Would I purchase again?
Yes. If there’s a shade I like, I’ll definitely nab it. If you can only choose one shade, I highly recommend Poison Orchid. It’s definitely the jewel of the shades I picked up. Overall, I think these are another great addition to the Too Faced line.

Hello Cotton
test
It loads, but slooooowly.
I just set up Cloudflare, which is supposed to speed it up. I have no idea why it’s so slow right now
Super frustrated with Hostgator.
The comments are working again! Yay!
I don’t understand why the hell Hostgator turned off my comments or my theme.
I <3 you!
Aww <3
nice choice of colours! I can see them working together for a look – that is, if you haven’t already tried it
I actually was thinking that the colors would all pair up together nicely, green and gold, purple and gold, purple and pink, pink and gold.
ooooh, pretty!
Thanks Cin!
The packaging is so pretty and I love Poison Orchid!
It is so gorgeous Lillian!
Poison Orchid is gorgeous. I also like Firefly. I’ve been a fan of TooFaced for awhile (They make my favorite gloss). Nice Stems reminds me of Astroturf, a shade they released years ago. I’m almost out of it so I may need to snag Juxt.
They’ve got some great stuff, like their amazing face foundations.
Poison Orchid. I really want this for my stash!
It’s beautiful to wear
Poison Orchid is just divine, I love that the shimmer is actually really noticeable!

It’s amazing to me how the deep base shows up, yet doesn’t hide the sparkles.
