Too Faced La Belle Carousel - peach eyeshadow palette review
This is the last eyeshadow palette in the Too Faced La Belle Carousel and it has a peach cover with a carousel horse (not to be mistaken with the pink eyeshadow palette that I reviewed before). I feel very sad that I don't have any Too Faced eye shadows left for me to try out anymore (not to mention that it is difficult to get my hands on anything Too Faced here >_<). But at least, the Too Faced La Belle Carousel contains three very different eyeshadow palettes with which I can play with. Let me now show you the last one.
I basically bought the Too Faced La Belle Carousel for this eyeshadow palette. It contains 4 eyeshadow shades that just can't go wrong with my dark brown eyes, while it was more of a gamble with the other two eyeshadow palettes. With the mint green eyeshadow palette as the only exception (it has a highlighter instead), this eyeshadow palette also has an eyeshadow base.
I cannot believe how close it is to my skin tone, as you can barely see the difference between where I applied it and where not. I was very puzzled for a while, since I could not remember why I took so many pictures of my bare eye. I had to look very closely to see that the places where I applied Tufted Suede (mostly on my eyelid) has a brown undertone and my own skin has a red undertone.

Tufted Suede is a matte, skin color like shade with a brown-orange undertone.
Angel Hair is a warm gold eyeshadow with a bigger emphasis on the metallic sheen than the glitters. The Nude Beach eyeshadow in the pink eyeshadow palette of the Too Faced La Belle Carousel has a less warm gold color and a very silvery sheen.
Haute Chocolate has a very pigmented, smokey, chocolate brown color with a metallic sheen.
Yule Log is a very dark brown, near black, matte shade with many chocolate brown shimmers.
La Belle eye makeup look
This is the eye makeup look that I found in the La Belle Carousel How-To Glamour Guide for the peach eyeshadow palette. I have worn the Tufted Suede as the base all over my eyelid, the Angel Hair eyeshadow on the lid, the Haute Chocolate eyeshadow in the crease, and the Yule Log as an eyeliner. You might think that this is the last eye makeup look in the small guide book, but there is still another one, called Sweet Soirée and I will show that one another day.
Here is a bonus picture of the Tufted Suede on its own.

What do I think?
Tufted Suede really amazed me, as I can almost use it as a face powder or concealer.
Angel Hair is a beautiful, warm gold eyeshadow that I can perfectly wear on its own on a normal day.
Haute Chocolate sadly didn't have a chocolate scent (>_<), but it is together with the Angel Hair eyeshadow two of the gems of the Too Faced La Belle Carousel.
Yule Log is a great, smokey shade to have (alternative of the forever black), as it has many, warm brown, shimmers (which wasn't captured very well in the swatches) that makes your look more lively.
I still have two Blush & Bronzer booklets and a mascara left to show you, so stay tuned!
