Too Faced Gingerbread Spice Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Gingerbread Spice
Too Faced Gingerbread Spice 18-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($49.00 for 0.43 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette with a mix of warmer neutrals with a slightly pinker, rosier leaning across mattes, shimmers, and more glittery/sparkly shades. I was impressed by the palette–it was a good balance of mattes and shimmers, light and mid-tone shades (I could have gone with one or two deeper shades), and offered a variety of possible looks. The quality was good overall with only one shade being harder to work with (Frostbite Me, which was more like a layering, glittery eyeshadow) and a few of the mattes needing to be built up to get full coverage (which is very workable for most people).
I didn’t get much gingerbread-esque scent–more like a sweet, vanilla but it was less noticeable compared to some of the brand’s past scented products. I didn’t notice the scent once the eyeshadows were applied to my eyes.

Powdered Sugar
Powdered Sugar is a pale beige with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a soft, lightly powdery texture, but it was thicker than the average Too Faced matte shade, so I felt like it applied better to bare skin and didn’t have as much fallout nor was it as prone to sheering out too quickly. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me.

Warm and Toasty
Warm and Toasty is a rich, molten gold with strong,w arm undertones and a metallic sheen. The pigmentation was incredibly rich with a smooth, creamy texture that was thicker and denser than average but not in a way that emphasized my lid texture or was difficult to apply. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

Frostbite Me
Frostbite Me is a pale, off-white with subtle, warm undertones and a chunky, glittery finish. It had more of a translucent base with a chunkier, very glittery consistency where the eyeshadow came away from the surface of the pan in clumps. I used a flat, synthetic brush (MAC 247) to apply it to my inner tearduct, and by pressing it onto the area, I was able to get minimal fallout and semi-opaque coverage in one go. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours but had some fallout over time, so I’d recommend using this with an adhesive base.

Spice is Nice
Spice is Nice is a rich orange with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent color payoff in one stroke that applied well to bare skin with even, smooth coverage that was easy to diffuse along the edges. The texture was soft and velvety without being powdery or too thin, with the latter often being an issue with the brand’s mattes (for me). This shade lasted nicely for eight hours on me before it started to fade.

Oh Snap
Oh Snap is a medium-dark coral with strong,w arm undertones and gold micro-glitter over a matte base. The eyeshadow had good pigmentation but was drier and a bit firmer in the pan, so it was one of the weaker shades in the palette. The addition of micro-sparkle meant that most of the sparkles didn’t translate as there was nothing to help them bind with the underlying powder. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me.

Hot Toddy
Hot Toddy is a medium plum with strong, copper undertones and a cooler pink sheen paired with a metallic finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in one layer, while the consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and had a bit of slip–felt more silicone-heavy compared to most of the other shades. It applied most evenly with a flat, synthetic brush and pressing it onto my lid, as this yielded good, even coverage with little fuss. It blended out easily along the edges and lasted for just over eight hours on me.

Reindeer Paws
Reindeer Paws is a muted, deep plum with warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff that applied fairly evenly to bare skin. The texture was soft, slightly dusty in the pan, but I didn’t have issues with fallout and was able to diffuse and blend out the edges with minimal effort. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Gingerbread Latte
Gingerbread Latte is a light-medium brown with warm, golden undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with less than half of an additional layer. The eyeshadow was soft, a bit powdery in the pan, but it blended out easily and didn’t have fallout. It wore nicely for seven and a half hours on me before it showed signs of fading.

Spiced Rum
Spiced Rum is a medium-dark bronze with soft, warm undertones and a glittery finish. The consistency was more loosely pressed, and I found that it was quite pigmented to the point where a little went a long way, so using less still yielded the higher coverage but ensured minimal fallout. This shade was most foolproof when used with a dampened brush or fingertip, though. It lasted well on my lid for eight hours and had slight fallout over time.

I got my broken one exchanged yesterday. After seeing this review, I can’t wait to use it. It’s nice to see them put out such a solid palette.
Happy to hear you received your replacement!
I hate myself for loving this but I’m totally gonna buy it when it releases here…
Haha, that is sort of how I felt.
i have an extra i can sell ?
Stunning high quality palette right here for anyone who does not already have these shades strewn across their own personal stash! If I did not already own Viseart Tryst, UD Beached, Born to Run and Heavy Metal palettes, plus some other shades of MAC singles, I would try this one out. I do not see sodium saccharin listed in the ingredient list. So, if I were to think about buying it, I would literally swatch the product and put it on my tongue. If it has sodium saccharin in it, I would taste it immediately.
Nancy — I’ve been meaning to express gratitude for your advocacy on the sulfa/sodium saccharin allergy topic.
I had a rather severe eyelid irritation issue late last year, and thanks to you I realized it might be due to my having worn TF peach mattes palette shadows almost every day for weeks. After discontinuing use of any TF shadows and a prescription steroid cream treatment, I haven’t had the issue since.
AB, no problem! Because so many people do have sulfa allergies, I believe that the decision to use sodium saccharin in any cosmetic formula that will come into direct contact with mucus membranes is a highly irresponsible decision for TF and other cosmetic companies to make. Especially when done without providing a clear allergen warning!
Dear Nancy, As someone who suffered through a pretty bad reaction to a sulfa allergy as a child, thank you for this PSA. I had absolutely no idea that sodium saccharin is a sulfonamide. Good thing I bucked the trend of too faced food themed palettes.
I think that as someone who suffers from life threatening allegories, it irresponsible to push our problems it on to a company. I dont think any company is responsible for making a product specifically for me, and i think its strange people get irritated other wise. Like, what if restaurants stopped cooking food with…….. vegetables. Thats the example i use, allergies can be so generic.
Well I agree with you, it’s silly to expect businesses to put up with a made-up illness like your “Allegories”.
Now with allergies, that can be actually life threatening. And, most restaurants do put warnings on their menu about possible allergens in their menu items. They don’t entirely stop using those ingredients. So your example is nonsensical. No ones asking businesses to bend over backwards to accommodate people with allergies but a warning is important. And that’s what people are expecting here.
I never heard of this, so thanks!!!
It’s gorgeous but I am sure I have dupes for every single shade. I’m still very tempted though…
I wish the rating was under B+ for this one, Now I actually want to buy it. Argh!! haha.
I love this palette! Like really love it but I can dupe it with two of my palettes. I’m going to pass but this is the first Too Faced palette that has gotten my attention in years!
Right? I was pleasantly surprised by this one!
This looks great! I never bought any of the Too Faced eyeshadows because of reviews saying the pigmentation was on the weak side. Can’t wait to check this out.
I really like the colors here. I have avoided TF in the past because of the fragrance but I will check this one out.
This is so pretty! I’m really loving the overall color story.
This is a really beautiful palette – lots of gorgeous spicy shades that are not leaning towards red. I think this is a winner and it’s good to see Too Faced get their mojo back.
If my stash weren’t as large as it is, I would almost certainly be getting this, despite the metallic golds.
Mine arrived on Friday, and I’ve worn it once so far. I’m very happy with it, and thrilled to see it got such a high grade!
It’s a beautiful selection of colours but the fragrance always kept me away from the TF palettes. My eyes become watery in seconds and they remain watery as long as I keep the ESs on. If this palette is available in the Sephora stores in Canada (for the moment it’s not), I need to try the shades on my eyes to see how I react. Never had any issues of this type with the eyeshadows, only with the TF.
I like Jerrod and his product so much better, when he is adulting. Great to see! Let’s hope tf keeps it up. The Holiday peach stuff has been a big improvement, as well. I think there are still some offshore mfg’d less than desirable tf this season, but some of the recent palettes have been wonderful.
Hi Christine, just wanted to note that this is tagged as Viseart.
This one looks so nice but also very durable with it’s shades. Tapping out on this LE palette. ?
This looks soo nice!! But it’s so sad that whenever Too faced releases something worth having they seem to make it limited for the US market only… It was the same it seems with the cartoon inspired palette that came out a year ago or so… From what I have understood hearing it from different youtubers this too is a US only item…? Why, for the life of me I cannot understand… I mean Christmas I celebrated everywhere and this is by far more interesting than any other Christmas releases they have ever made that they pollute the entire world with…
The Gingerbread and the Gingerbread man is even of European origin, so why it is not released here I do not understand.
My hope is it is misinformation and that it will launch also world wide or at least also in Europe. If any one knows, please share your intel!!
scout
Sorry, Too Faced doesn’t send me any information so I don’t have any “intel” to share!
I live in the US but am going to Europe next week. If you’d like, I can purchase this and mail it to you once I get there. I know I’m a stranger on the internet but I promise I’m not a crazy person and will not show up at your house. 🙂 email me at whythirteenwhy@gmail.com if you’re interested.
They’re selling the palette at Debenhams in the UK!
So pretty and excellent scores. I have too many similar palettes. Pass.
It’s pretty and I’m glad it reviewed well, but it’s not a color combination that would suit me. (And that is very good for me because I have such low willpower when it comes to makeup!)
Beautiful palette, but I truly just want the bottom row, and if Two Faced had released a 9-pan palette with the pink/bronze shimmer shade, the purple shimmer, and the orange matte I would have been all in. Luckily, I have dupes so this is a skip for me.
I bought this palette and the two minis (tickled peach & sugar cookie). Believe it or not, the minis are the same quality, imo. TF has really upped its game, so maybe the Chocolate Gold palette’s success tipped them off on what to do? I love, love, love the gingerbread palette, I haven’t felt able to say that about TF in a while! p.s. did anyone else break down and buy the Natasha Denona Gold palette sight unseen, *and* before the VIB sale :P??
It looks really nice but I want the born to run from UD and having both is unnecessary.
My eyeshadow palette collection isn’t as so extensive that I can dupe everything and I’m so tempted to get this shipped to my country, tax duties or third-party shipper handling fees be damned. I’m such a fan of Too Faced palettes ever since I bought the Sweet Peach palette, which Christine rated so much lower than this palette (which I find to be accurate for the most part as that palette’s pigmentation was a bit lackluster on my medium skin) and if this had better ratings surely I’ll end up enjoying this palette more! I’m a little scared that they won’t make this available in our Sephora because I would love to get my hands on it. Here’s to hoping it will.
Hi Christine
Happy Friday! I made a duplicate Gingerbread palette looking thru dupes on your list. It took a few days and nights. Lol
All singles and I am almost done with a DIY z palette! All thanks to your hard work!!
So huge thank you:)
I’m inspired to try out some other palettes. I don’t own any palettes from ABH, Colorpop, Tarte. Huda. Sephora. MAC, Too faced or anythingfrom Becca. Mainly because of your ratings ok a big part. Haha
I own tons of UD and meteorites. I still haven’t found highlighters or bronzers.
You have inspired me. I wanted to take a moment to say thanks and never retire. Marie
Quick question if I have an off the topic question, would I send you an email?
Your eyelooks are stunning!!
Thank you, Marie! Yes, if it’s off-topic, it is best to email me.
