Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance Policy Palette

I've been wanting to try Too Faced Shadow Insurance (aka TFSI) for a while so I went to Kit Cosmetics to buy a tube. I noticed they had a palette pack called Eye Shadow Insurance Policy which has 6 pressed eyeshadows & a full tube of TFSI for $49.95AU.

The palette has the following colours:

• Full Frontal
• Glamazon
• Socialite
• Boy Toy
• Skinny Dip &
• Lucky Charms

Considering a full tube of TFSI is $34.95 by itself, I figured that for an extra $15, it was worth getting the palette too.

I haven't used either since I bought it, and am considering whether or not I will keep the eyeshadow palette for myself or gift it to family (my Niece would love it!).

I didn't see many packs left in my local Kit Cosmetics, so if you're looking at getting TFSI, consider buying the set!

Edit: Well I happened to go to www.kitcosmetics.com.au & found the same set for $24.95 plus postage at $10, which still makes the set $20 cheaper. Don't you hate finding things at a cheaper price after you've bought them???? Oh well that happens.... however I've also looked at the eyeshadows & found that a couple of them actually looked like they've been swatched. Really disapointing. It feels like I've bought a secondhand product :( It leaves me with a bit of a bitter aftertaste.

Just Ordered: UNII Cosmetics Palette

I have blogged about the UNII Cosmetics palette previously & hadn't gotten it as I thought it was expensive with the postage to Australia & conversion of dollars.

As I've been home sick for a few days, I've been spending a bit of time on YouTube watching makeup tutorials & reviews on various products, including UNII. I have changed my mind as looking at other palettes, it just seems like a great quality product, something that has been manufactured with forsight & has covered issues that may arise (eg makeup breakage).

That old saying comes to mind "you get what you pay for".

Well, I saw a Tweet from @uniicosmetics advising of a holiday discount from $29 to $24!!!! So, to cut a long story short - I'm in the holiday spirit & put an order through!

I bought 2, one as a gift for a friend for her birthday (Coal - a beautiful sleek black which I know she will love), and one for little old me (Pomegranate - a gorgeous shiny Red).


My friend has no idea what depotting is & I look forward to introducing it to her to it & getting her on her way to using it!!!!!!

I've already depotted all of my makeup & bought an Inglot palette which has removable pans, so I will be using my UNII for travel/touchups.

I can't wait until it arrives next year. I will give you a full review plus photos when I get it! I will also compare it with my other palettes!

UNII Palette

Yes, I know..... I have palettes on order but on my travels I found a cute travel palette by a company called UNII.

It seems to have been created by a makeup consumer who was looking for a way to keep her makeup together without having to have everything in separate packages.

It has a cute little square "thumb grip" (moveable) which looks weird at first, but makes complete sense as you can hold the palette steady whilst using it, as well as a rubber gasket which would stop spillage in your handbag if any shadows decide to break. This sounds perfect for travel. Love the different colours too. Hmmm I wish I found this site last week before I bought the 3 other palettes.

One thing is, these palettes do seem to be great quality, but even so they're a little pricey at $29US each plus International postage. This means it would probably make it too expensive for me in Australia. :( However, for those of you in North America & Canada (lucky peeps!) for a limited time UNII are offering free postage!

Their website is good, with de-potting tips, links to reviews & a video on the "history" of the palette. There's also a page showing photos that people have sent in of their own palettes. I love seeing how other people arrange their makeup inside a freestyle palette.

The website address is www.uniicosmetics.com

Do you have this palette? What do you think about it?
