Whether at a department store or convenience shop, I’ve always been a mono eyeshadow consumer. Didn’t matter if it was variations of a shade or pops of color, I’ve always preferred just one shade at a time. But lately, cosmetic companies are reserving their best colors for makeup palettes, so Jesenia’s Goodie Bag lists the top ones we’re loving right now.

TWO FACED – SWEET PEACH PALETTE
Jerrod Blandino is at it again! Inspired by what he recalls as a culinary moment during a dinner in Paris. He was presented with a peach truffle dessert of roasted peaches over an open flame. This dessert experience of caramelized peaches, with a rich bronzy peach color and a Bellini cocktail, helped bring his dessert experience to life in 18 delectable peach scented eyeshadows in candied peachy pinks, bright corals, rich browns and deep purples. Two Faced makes makeup application easy breezy with a booklet tutorial included in the palette to recreate 3 intense eye looks, entitled Peaches & Cream, Smoldering Peach, and Southern Belle.
Love this eyeshadow palette as much as we do? Then consider the Too Faced – Sweet Peach Creamy Peach Oil Lip Gloss in 7 delicious shades. Our favorite is Peach Tease, a charming electric peach.
