Too Faced Glamour To Go Palette: Fave

I bought the Too Faced Glamour to go Palette a few months ago and I love, love it. I saw it in Sephora while I was debating what I should buy for under $25--I like to get a variety of small things, instead of a larger item, most of the time. I'm just someone who really loves variety. Well, I tested out the colors and I really liked it... I just didn't know if I wanted to pay $22 for it since it's kinda small... but, it's really pretty and I really, truly like everything in it & it's super-convenient! So, I didn't buy it... I went home to think about it and then I bought it online! ha! I'm so glad I did, because--like I said--I love, love it! Here's the scoop...

Glamour To Go Palette

Why this little palette rocks:

• It's small--great for travel or purses
• It's all there--all the color you need for your face
• Bronzer AND Blush! They are great colors, too. I have a light complexion, so it doesn't take much for my skintone, but if you have darker skin, or want a bolder effect, consider putting this on wet. You could put it directly over your foundation before you use powder or wet your brush. I actually love the bronzer shade so much, that I'll probably repurchase it in the future--either alone or in a set.
• Pigmented Eyeshadows--most of the colors in this kit are very bold and it only takes a tiny bit. The lighter colors are lighter and drier--this is common for light shades, so I don't really think anything of this.
• Lipgloss--it's easy to apply and looks good mixed with other lip colors. I don't use much of it, because it's really shimmery, but I do mix it with my other lip colors, regularly. It's a really pretty summer color.
• Compact case--the bottom drawer slides in and the top closes. It's all right there like a tiny makeup case.
• Mirror--good size and quality. You can clearly see yourself; it's not a funhouse mirror.
• Fave shades--the bronzer, blush, the golden brown, the gray and the purple. I like the silver a lot (have it on right now), but it has glittery fallout, so I avoid it when I'm in a hurry.

What needs a little improving:

• The glittery fallout in the silver color. Its a beautiful shade, though. I put it on my brush and tap it against my hand and let the glitter fall out before I apply it. If you use a good amount of primer, it will stick to your eye pretty well. It's very similar in practice to Urban Decay's Cowboy eye shadows--you know how they have a lot of glitter pieces, but they're pretty... same concept.
• The only real complaint from others is that the lipgloss is between the blush/bronzer. I totally get why they don't like that and it could benefit from a little lid over the lip gloss, but here's a simple solution: use a small blush brush and don't shake powder everywhere! I don't like to waste good makeup, so I always use it carefully. I use a blush brush and just lay it on the color--sideways--and wiggle it back and forth, then I apply it to my face... no need to create a bronzer cloud to walk out of... you look good--no cloud effect needed ;)
