The Sweet Indulgence Palette comes in a metal tin which is not practical for travel because it's bulky. I really wish that Too Faced had made each product removable from the palette. When you first open it up, on the top is the eyeshadow palette then on the bottom is the blush, bronzer, primer, highlighter, brush, and "get-the-look" cards.

These are the eyeshadows in the Sweet Indulgence Palette. The palette comes with 16 (0.06 oz) shadows. You get basic neutrals and some bright colored shades. A great mix to try something new each time!

Below the tray of eyeshadows is more make up. It contains a full size Shadow Insurance (eye primer), two bronzers, two blushes, a highlighter, a double ended brush, and three "get-the-look" cards.

The brush is sponge tip applicator on the left side and a fluffy blending brush on the right side. This brush is exclusive to the palette.

I've always wanted to try the Too Faced Shadow Insurance but I'm very loyal to my Urban Decay Primer Potion. I'm excited that they included this products. One can never have to many primers! The value of this primer is $24.00 CAD when sold separately at Sephora and is 0.35 oz.

Often times palettes can be overwhelming because it can be hard to choose the right combo of shadows for a beginner, let alone an entire face of makeup.  These cards state the products you'll need to get a Pink Chocolate, Rock Candy, and Brown Sugar looks.

Candlelight Glow is a beautiful shimmery white highlighter with a golden sheen. This highlighter can be used on the brow bone, inner corner of the eyes, on the bridge of the nose, cupids bow, and of course on the top cheek bones for a brightening glow.

Swatch of Exclusive Bronzer

Exclusive Bronzer is a warm shimmery brown bronzer. I typically don't like to contour with shimmery bronzers since I'm so pale so I might use this as an eyeshadow! If you love a bronzed glowy complexion then this product would be great for you especially on medium to dark skin tones.

Swatch of La Vie en Rose

La Vie en Rose is a rose cool toned pink with a golden sheen from sparkles embedded in the blush. Very pretty for a light flush of color!

Swatches (L-R) Honeymoon, Pastille, Cop a Teal, Black Sugar

Honeymoon is a light frosty gold. Pastille is a dark forest green with a slight teal sheen. Cop a Teal is a dark blue more than a teal with silver sheen. Black Sugar is a matte black shadow.

Overall this palette is a great value since you're getting products for the face and eyes. All eyeshadows were pigmented and easy to blend with the exception of Cherry Cola being powdery and not so pigmented. All the blushes and bronzers do contain shimmer which is a downside if you prefer matte bronzer and blush. However all blushes, bronzers, and the highlighter were pigmented and easy to sheer out or build up. In addition this palette contains mostly frosty and shimmery eyeshadows (only four are matte). Although I do appreciate that it's not all neutral shadows. It contains very unique colors especially Satin Sheets. The swatch doesn't do it justice! All eyeshadows will require primer underneath to keep them crease free and vibrant all day. In terms of wear time, the shadows will last seven to eight hours easily with a primer. I really recommend this palette to anyone who wants value for their money along with some great Too Faced products! This product is exclusive to Sephora and is limited edition so if you're interested get it asap!
