Too Faced New Teddy Bare Palette ~ Swatches and Review ~ Do you really need another nude palette in your collection?

 * Purchased by me*

The new Teddy Bare Palette by Too Faced Cosmetics was not on my radar at all. The only reason I have it is because I got an amazing deal on it. 

But is this a palette that you need? I mean let's be honest, how many nude palettes do you own? I know I own quite a lot The amounts of palettes I have could compete with Sephora, like no joke. But back to Teddy palette. 

First thing that you will notice is just how small the palette really is. Seriously its really small... Even the shadow pans are tiny. I use fingers when I do swatches and I really had a tough time digging in it. The packaging is thin tho so it can be easily store and travel with. Outside on the cover you can find a cute teddy bear that is risen up. 

Once you open, you can see that the palette house 14 shadows. And can you see the small pans? the is a mixture of 10 mattes and 4 multi dimension metallics. And there is a scent like with most Too Faced Palettes. This one has a mixture of honey and graham crackers. I can smell honey more then crackers. The scent don't bother me, as it's not as strong. Plus when I was applying the shades it didn't last long. 

Here are the shade names and swatches:

• The Snuggle Is Real (light peachy-taupe matte)
• Fur Real (champagne, gold- and purple-speckled metallic)
• Teddy Bear (light yellow-brown matte)
• Pot of Honey (shimmering golden-bronze metallic)
• EmBAREassed (medium peachy-pink matte)
• Lace Teddy (maroon, white- and gold-speckled metallic)
• Boop (deep plum-brown matte)

• Bare It All (warm-alabaster matte)

• Mama Bear (warm light-brown matte)

• Gild A Bare (peachy-pink with pink-sparkles matte with sparkles)

• Fuzzy Wuzzy (deep red-brown matte)

• Press Paws (rich medium-brown metallic)

• Stuffed (rich medium-brown matte)

• Sharing Is Caring (medium terracotta-rose matte

Now my thoughts -  Let's start that I really like the shimmer shades coz duh they are shimmer shades and I love them no matter what. All 4 swatched and layered on the eyes beautifully. Mattes on the other hand were hits and misses. The lighter ones were ok, but the darker ones when I tried to layered them on in my outer corner, they didn't look so good. We have two creased colors that pans are a bit bigger than others. One is more beige-y gold and the other rose. As you look at the palette there are two directions the look can go - gold or rosey. But then again for the gold look it would be nice to have a chocolate brown shade to deepen the outer corner. Overall it is a cute palette, very nice and wearable color story, but the price seems a bit too high... It retails at $45 which in my opinion is a bit too steep... maybe $30-$35 would be a better price range.

So what about you? Are you going to get it? Or you already did? Share your thoughts in the comments :)
