Too Faced has released the Summertime Sexy Eyeshadow Collection palette, which is a limited-edition release full of mostly shimmery, highly-pigmented shades perfect for the warmer months. The palette includes three highlights, three lid colors, and three crease/defining shades.
This palette caught my eye when browsing Sephora, and I decided to give it a go! It retails for $36 and includes three 0.07 oz. shades and six 0.03 oz shades. In grams, this complete palette includes 11.05 grams.

This palette includes three highlight shades, which can be used to highlight the brow bone or in the inner corner of the eyes.
Sugar Sand is an exact dupe for Urban Decay's Sin eyeshadow, which is found in the Naked palette. It's very shimmery and has a soft velvety texture.
Peach Fuzz looks like it would be a perfect matte shade for my skintone, but the pigment of this shadow is mostly useless, and only gives off a disappointing wash of shimmer.
Sunbeam is a slightly yellow-toned shimmery shade which is full of beautiful gold shimmer and looks great in the inner corner.
Above includes the three highlight shades, all applied over ELF Eyeshadow Primer.
Crush being the least shimmery (when applied and blended onto the lids) and Plumeria being the most shimmery (when applied and blended onto the lids).
Plumeria is a cool-toned pink that reflects high-shine when exposed to sunlight. When applied alongside Sugar Sand, it appears to be a great compliment to the highlight and possibly the same color but several shades darker.
Coral Crush is a cool-toned coral shade with more orange than pink. It includes golden shimmer and is velvety smooth.
Mermaid is a dark, cool-toned teal shade with exceptional shimmer. It appears to have a grey undertone and includes small silver flecks of shimmer. This shade along with the other colorful colors is highly pigmented and easy to work with.
Plumeria, Coral Crush, Mermaid (all swatched over primer)
Cocoa Beach, Chocolate Sun, Toasted Coconut (all swatched over primer)
Cocoa Beach and Chocolate Sun are both highly-shimmery shades, and Toasted Coconut is the only true matte shade in the palette.
Cocoa Beach is a dark, cool-toned brown shade with visible silver shimmer.
Chocolate Sun is a few shades dark than Cocoa Beach, but very similar in texture and tone. It includes more shimmer (including gold shimmer) than Cocoa Beach.
Toasted Coconut is a warm-toned mid-toned brown, with red undertones when applied on the lids. It is the only true matte shade in the palette, which no visible shimmer.
Thanks so much for reading!
