Is it just me, or is Too Faced completely obsessed with food?
I mean, I’m not hating at all. For the record, I am totally cool with this, but I’m just saying… It seems like all of their palettes have something to do with things that are delicious.
The Semi-Sweet Chocolate Palette has another cousin
Their new Peanut Butter & Honey palette is an offshoot of Semi-Sweet, from their Chocolate Bar collection, which has a shade in it called Peanut Butter.
So there’s the original Peanut Butter Palette, the Peanut Butter & Jelly Palette, and now this — the Peanut Butter & Honey Palette.
It’s $36 and available now at The Cheesecake Factory!
Haha! Kidding. 🙂 No, it’s available now online and at Ulta.
P.S. Are you hungry yet? I’m starved.
Warm oranges and reddish browns
The nine powder shadows are all warm-toned, and there’s a lot of orange-brown and reddish brown action happening, which have been very popular makeup color themes over the past year or two.
3 minutes — say what?!
The palette comes with an insert called the Glamour Guide that has instructions for three different eye looks. Actually, the biggest reason I wanted to try this palette was because it says, “3 steps, 3 looks, 3 minutes” right there on the guide, and I’m like, WHAT?! Tell me that isn’t appealing — being able to do an eyeshadow look in three minutes. Because it’s totally appealing to me.
Well..only one of the looks has three steps. The other looks have four or five. 🙁
I’m wearing the three-step look in these pics, and I really was able to do it in three minutes, BUUUUT I was only able to finish the actual eyeshadow part.
It took me a little longer to do the brows, lashes and liner. About eight minutes total, but I think it might be possible to finish everything in three minutes (maybe?) if you’re a less-is-more kinda gal.
Standout mattes
The mattes are the best thing about Peanut Butter & Honey IMO. They’re so much more pigmented than the mattes in Love Story, which was the last Too Faced palette I tested, yet just as easy to blend, so I don’t have to layer them as much.
I still get some fallout with these shadow, but you know…that’s just Too Faced.
I get the sense that if I were to accidentally pile on too much of these mattes, they’d look heavy, and they’d emphasize my fine lines, so on the scale of bomb-@ss mattes, I think these are pretty good, but not as great as the fine line-friendly mattes over at Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford and Chanel.
The final verdict
I think you’ll like this palette, especially if you love warm reddish brown liners like MAC Costa Riche and Teddy, which look amazeballs with it.
Oh, Peanut Butter & Honey also goes well with orange-red lipsticks, like MAC Lady Danger and Kosas Thrillist, which I’m wearing in these pics.

While I appreciate anything food related, I have more than enough shadows from this color family and don’t reach for them that much.
Plus, I get peanut butter and jelly, but is eating peanut butter and honey together a thing?
This seems like a nice palette. I have the PB &J and I feel like I have alot of similar shadows in other palettes. I do like these color choices over the purples in the PB &J.
It’s not just you – they are big into the food themed names! 🙂 Truth be told, I can’t stomach peanut butter and jelly but I’m OK with PB and honey. Tutorial #3 kind of scared me. I realize there is blending involved but it seems like there are too many colors and geometric shapes for my skill level. HAHA!
PS Have you used any of the konjac sponges (charcoal or red/yellow clay)? I have a bunch from Korea because we’re going to add a couple to our line in 2018. They are the same manufacturer that does Etude House, Boscia, Sephora and Honest Beauty. If you want to give one a whirl, I can pop it in the mail for you. 🙂 I’m really liking the bamboo charcoal and the red clay.
I really want Peanut Butter and Jelly, but this one I’m kinda men on. Like you said, I’d rather go for Tom Ford or Chanel.
This looks like a beautiful palette-I think I’m maybe warm shadowed out though! I have so many in my collection these days!
Looks super cute on you, I think it’s to warm for me though.
How lovely!!! The packaging is kawaii and I like the warm colour selection! One question: has it a particular scent?

Yes, Too faced is all about the food and those food palettes can make you hungry! I swear my chocolate consumption increased 10-fold right after I started using the Chocolate Bon Bon palette!
That look is very flattering on you. Too bad, the colors in this palette don’t suit me so I’ll pass on this one.
Happy weekend!
I have one of the Chocolate Bar palettes and the PB&J palette but I think I will be skipping this one! Your swatches look lovely! I do love the cute food themes (and scents!) though.
