My anxiety pan

I had a lot of fun discussing my Benefit Tickle highlighter “almost pan” with y’all so I’m back with this **Too Faced Natural Eyes palette**. I can’t tell you how long I have had it, but it is from not long after they changed the packaging. For those unfamiliar, they used to be in flat, aluminum (?) packaging. I loved those because they packed well and were a bit more compact. We may have gotten bigger packaging with less product, but I don’t have an old one to compare. Anyway, this is probably my fourth of this palette. It makes a great, business-appropriate light smoky eye that has some warmth (Silk Teddy), which my skin tone needs to keep it from looking too harsh (my issue with the top row).

I saw a post a few minutes ago, where someone asked if folks get anxious when they hit pan. That inspired me to share this because it is probably the one product that I **do** get anxious over because, as you can tell from the photo, I really only use the middle row and occasionally the bottom row. It is tough to justify buying a whole palette just for 1/3 of the product. That’s assuming they still even make it—I haven’t checked in a while since I’m trying to work through my stash.

I also have yet to find suitable dupes for those three shades that are finely milled enough that the shimmer catches the light but doesn’t look like I’m going to a club. (no shade, but I’m 45 so I have to be a bit more careful about such things. If anyone has used these shades and has suggestions, please let me know!
