Natural Eyes Eyeshadow Palette

PACKAGING: Ridiculously Heavy, Impractical, Expensive, & Dated I prefer the old packaging (light-weight, firm & durable cardboard?). The lace, gold & pink is also too Victorian & feminine. The esthetic is too specific & doesn't speak to a broad consumer base. INGREDIENTS Talc: A potential carcinogen (cancer causing substance), used to absorb oil/moisture & increase staying power. However, other products have staying power without it - there are effective substitutes. Coumarin: Can cause allergic reactions, breakouts & liver toxicity (it's absorbed directly into skin & 'processed' in the liver). All coumarin does is provide a sweet, nutty, vanilla scent. It's utterly useless in makeup & is an unnecessary risk to skin & health. Fragrance/Parfum: Why? Upon opening this container, I was slapped with a strong, sweet, perfume. This can cause allergic reactions, breakouts, & toxicity. Perhaps it was added to try to legitimize their 'coco-butter infused' claims? Regardless, it's very unpleasant for those who want mild/unscented products & is an unnecessary risk. NO CRUELTY-FREE CERTIFICATION Too Faced claims to be cruelty free, however, with no cert/label this is meaningless & untrustworthy. Too Faced should have a Leaping Bunny Cert. COLOR CHANGES Nude Beach (shimmer) was a perfect base color - not too light/dark, not too pink. It was changed to the darker Strip Poker. It has a pinkish hue upon application that I don't like. I do like that it's matte - a matte version of Nude Beach would be perfect. The neutral light taupe Velvet Revolver was changed to the darker caramel-ish Cashmere Bunny. I like both colors & prefer both in the compact rather than the pink-ish 'Push-up'. If I want pink, I'll get a pink pallet. PROS Blendable, minor fallout, good staying power, good pigment, easing to use, nice natural colors for everyday look.
