Review and Swatches: Too Faced “The Return of Sexy” Palette ♥


Hey everyone!!





Today I’m going to be reviewing the Too Faced “The Return of Sexy” palette.  There is somewhat of controversy around this palette but I personally love it. Some people think it fades easily and it all blends together throughout the day but I don’t agree AT ALL. You can get it at Sephora stores for $54 CAD (+tax).

  • Unlike some palettes the Too Faced “The Return of Sexy” palette is super sturdy. 
  • It’s made out of black plastic and once you pick it up you can immediately feel the quality because of its weight. 
  • It’s not too big or too small, which makes it the ideal size for travelling.


  • Once you open the palette, the top section is a huge mirror that can easily be used to complete an eye look. 
  • Behind the mirror are three cards for the three different colour schemes in the palette. 
  • For each scheme they have a day time and a night time look, which I thought can be super helpful for beginners to makeup.


  • Now for the fun part! The inside bottom part of the palette is where the eyeshadows are. 
  • Like I mentioned before, there are three different sections of eyeshadows based on their colour scheme. 
  • Each scheme has a combination of five different cool and warm colours. 
  • There is a neutral section called “The IngĂ©nue”, a purple section called “The Icon” and a super smoky section called “The Bombshell” –which one are you lol-.
  • The eyeshadows themselves aren’t like other Too Faced eyeshadows. 
  • They aren’t as velvety or buttery. 
  • Although you can noticeably see that the formula is different the quality however is still amazing. They are super pigmented and last really long. 
  • When you apply them they may feel a little dry but I haven’t noticed any falling or blending.




  • The palette also comes with a baby Too Faced “Shadow Insurance” (which I personally prefer to the Urban Decay “Primer Potion”) and a Too Faced “Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner”. 
    • Can I just take a minute to rant about the amazingness of this eyeliner! 
    • Its honestly one of the creamiest eyeliners on the market AND its actually waterproof! Texture-wise it’s exactly like the Urban Decay “24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil” and staying-wise it’s like the Makeup Forever “Aqua Eyes” without the tugging!
    • The more and more i use it the more its becoming one of my favourite eyeliners!

SWATCHES:





Overall I would definitely recommend the Too Faced “The Return of Sexy” to anyone who is looking for a great Fall/Nighttime palette!

Stay Fabulous!!
