The first time I heard about the Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly eye shadow palette ($36), I thought it was a joke. Like, a really good “Man, that would be so amazing!”-type joke.
But then I found out that it’s real!
I’ve been testing it out this past week, and there is nothing funny about how good this palette is. For lovers of warm sienna eyeshadows, it’s irresistable.
I kind of love that little peanut butter face with purple lips on the cover… She’s my muse!
At first I thought some of the colors might be too warm (like Nuts About You), but I decided to just go for it. I think the results are flattering and a little more interesting than a run-of-the-mill neutral eye look.
I call this look “Just Like Honey,” and it uses the warmest colors in the palette with lots of blending. Since it’s a monotone look, there’s room to play with the lip colors, but I highly recommend a purple or a bright pink matte lipstick. I’m wearing Too Faced La Matte Color Drenched Matte Lipstick in Pitch Perfect ($22).
Here’s a quick picture tutorial…
And swatches…
There really are no true duds in this palette. Jammin’ and Spread the Love aren’t quite as strong as the others and feel harder in their pans, but they’re still completely workable and show up nicely on the lids. The rest of the shades all feel buttery and smooth and make this palette an overall winner.

Hope you enjoyed this look and quickie tutorial! Let me know if you have this palette and have a look to recommend. Unfortunately, as of right now, it looks it’s already sold out on Too Faced, Sephora, and Ulta. But don’t let that stop you from using a comparable palette, like the permanent collection Semi-Sweet.
See you in the next,
Anna
Your illustrations are incredible! You e created a lovely look here. I was worried this whole palette may pull a little too warm for me, but you have nailed it!
I thought it was a joke as well. I mean, chocolate and cocoa powder, I could imagine that, but PB+J?
Maybe because that isn’t such a big thing n Germany as in the US.
Aw too bad it’s already sold out. Such lovely shades! I like how warm it is.
That palette tempts me every time I am at Ulta, it’s so pretty and so wearable! Your look is gorgeous, I love the pictures and that lip color looks stunning on you!
How is the lipstick formula? Does it dry out your lips?
Hi Agata! Sorry for the late reply 🙁 The lipsticks are pretty dry going on but they won’t dry out over time if that makes sense!
great look, and great suggestions on the lipstick color selection.
I have this palette and I loooooove it! but never knew what lipstick to wear with it. I was going for more nude/browns, but I like this option way better to brighten up the look!
also, can you talk about what blush/bronzer you recommend? I wasn’t sure what to put on my cheeks so I did a light bronzer only, I was scared to use a bright blush and just end up looking silly.
thanks!
Hi Yelena! Sorry for the late reply! I think the eyeshadow palette is pretty neutral with a KICK. So I wanted my lips to also have a kick!
I think a neutral-ish blush will do wonders! Like a contouring blush (Nars Madly or Tarte Exposed type deal!) Hope that helps xo
Fantastic tutorial. Love the illustrations! Thanks very much for posting this 🙂
From the pictorial, to the look itself, everything about this look is fabulous. Trying very hard to resist purchasing this. Don’t have much willpower, though. Love the lippie, too. Great post! 🙂
Anna your illustrations are so gorgeous, I love them.
Very cute on you!
So pretty! Great job on the blending. Your illustrations are wonderful.
Oh, I just adore this palette .. but haven’t purchased yet. Well, I want like five palettes from Two Faced so .. you can see my dilemma .. which do I purchase first !!??
