The Palette Tag!

 

 

Hi Everyone!
I recently did the lip product tag and really enjoyed it so I thought that I would do the palette tag! This was a really tough one but I think I have made some good choices!

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette

Hi everyone!

Today I have a review for you! This is the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette which contains 16 shadows in a mixture of matte and shimmer finishes. The packaging is in the form of a metal box with a magnetic snap-shut closure. Inside there is also a decent sized mirror. Two of the shadows (White Chocolate and Champagne Truffle) are larger in size than the other colours which is quite common with Too Faced palettes. To keep with the theme of a chocolate bar, the palette has a chocolate scent to it which is quite strong but disappears when the shadows are applied to the eyes.

 

Too Faced Bronzer's Series - Part 3 - Sun Bunny

Hi Everyone!

This is my third and final post in my series of 3 reviews of Too Faced Bronzers. Today's post is a swatch and review of the Sun Bunny Bronzer which is one of the brands best selling products. This bronzer is made up of two shades of brown that Too Faced describe as Deep Bronze and Golden Bronze. As you look at the compact the colour on the left looks much lighter than the colour on the right, however, I did not find this when I swatched the Product!

Here is the swatch of the bronzer shown on NW20 skin. I swatched both sides individually and then swatched the 2 sides blended together.

Sun Bunny contains a lot more shimmer than the previous TF bronzers that I have reviewed, so stay clear if you prefer matte powders. I found the right hand side of this bronzer to be quite orangey and not all that flattering but the lighter side, when used alone, is much nicer. This may be more suited to darker skin tones but it certainly isn't for me. Overall I am a little disapointed. After review the 3 bronzers I would say that Snow Bunny has to be my pick of the bunch!

I purchased this bronzer from Look Fantastic for £17.60. You can also purchase it from the official Too Faced website for $29.

I hope that you enjoyed my Too Faced bronzer mini series. Please check out my other 2 posts in the series if you haven't already!

Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette - Review & Swatches

Hi Everyone!

I have just received the Too Faced Romantic Eye palette through the post and it is a palette that I have wanted for a while now and I finally gave in and ordered it! This is the first eyeshadow palette that I have tried from Too Faced but I am a big fan of there Shadow Insurance and bronzer's so I thought that I'd give this a go as the colours appeal to me so much. The palette is made from strong cardboard with a really pretty floral design, the lid features a magnetic, snap shut closure. The palette comes with 9 eyeshadows and 3 tutorial cards.

Tutorial Cards

Soulmates: Shimmering Nectar: This shade would make a great brow highlight colour, it is quite shimmery so I would pair it with matte shades on the lid.

Kiss the Bride: Pink Petal: This is a beautiful pale pink colour that you could also use as a brow highlight but would also look great all over the lid.

Bouquet Toss: Baby's Breath: This is a matte cream colour and is great for highlighting the brow bone and inner eye area.

I Do: Smokey Taupe: This is a basic, medium taupe colour which would look lovely all over the lid for a day-time look or would be a great colour to use to blend out a dark shadow in the crease.

Cut the Cake: Heathered Mist: This is a very dark chocolate shade which is great for darkening up the outer corner of your lid and could also double up as eyeliner.

Honeymoon: Gilded Fern: This is such a pretty colour, it is a mid-tone grey/ purple colour that would look great paired with purples and browns.

Unveil: Smouldering Coal: This is a really rich, dark eggplant shade that reminds me of MAC's Shadowy Lady eyeshadow.

First Dance: Midnight Orchid: This is a stunning, highly pigmented, shimmery gold colour and is my favourite in the palette. It would look amazing as an all over lid colour and would also look great along the lower lashline with a neutral lid for a pop of colour.

Ever After: Spicy Chocolate: This is a deep bronze shade that would make a great lid or crease colour.

Swatches shown on NW20 skin:

(L to R) Soulmates, Kiss the Bride, Bouquet Toss

(L to R) I Do, Un-Veil, Cut the Cake, First Dance, Honeymoon, Ever After

I am so impressed with this palette, I think it is amazing. I love the colour selection as it is right up my street. The tutorial cards that come with the palette offer 3 pretty basic looks which would be great for a beginner starting out with make up but there are a lot of possibilities with this palette. All of the colours are really nicely pigmented and the majority are matte which I like. All 9 shades work really well together and apply and blend out wonderfully. I will definitely have to check out Too Faced's other eyeshadow palettes and add them to my Christmas wish list!
I purchased my palette from for £23.50. You can also purchase it from Too Faced Online for $36.

Too Faced Bronzer's Series - Part 2 - Snow Bunny

Hi Everyone!

This is the second in my series of reviews of Too Faced's Bronzer's and today is about Snow Bunny. This bronzer is made up of 4 strips of colour that Too Faced describe as Fawn/ Pink/ White/ Beige.

Here is the swatch of the bronzer shown on NW 20 skin. The first 4 swatches are of the 4 individual colours and the fifth is of all 4 colours blended together.

I have to say that I am super impressed with this bronzer! The 4 colours work so well together and blend easily too. I have quite a pale skin tone and, when used as a bronzer, it warms my skin up really well, as I am a MAC NW and I have pink undertones to my skin so the pink strip helps the bronzer to blend into my skin to give a more natural and less muddy look. If you have a smaller brush you can also use this as a highlighter and blush if you pick off the right colour. Big thumbs up from me for this versatile product which makes the fairly high price tag worth it!

I purchased my bronzer from ASOS for £18.50 and you can also get it from the official Too Faced website for $29. I hope that you have enjoyed this post, please click here to read my review of the Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer and look out for part 3 of this series coming soon!

Too Faced Bronzer's Series - Part 1 - Pink Leopard

Hi Everyone!

This is my first in a series of 3 posts about Too Faced Bronzers. The first bronzer that I will be reviewing is their popular Pink Leopard Bronzer. This is such a pretty looking bronzer that I am sure many of us are drawn to. Too Faced describe it as Golden Bronze/ Gilded Pink/ Neutral Fawn. Here is a swatch of the bronzer shown on NW20 skin.

This is a fairly standard bronzer. Its is a light bronze shade with no shimmer which is great. It is not matte, it is more of a frost finish which I like as I think that you could also use it to contour your cheekbones if you have paler skin. I really like the pinky tones that the bronzer has as I find that it blends into your skin easier and looks more natural. Due to the paleness of the powder I wouldn't recommend this for darker skin tones, if in doubt I would suggest swatching it in store before purchasing.

I purchased my bronzer from Boots for £22. You can also purcahase it from Amazon here: Too Faced Pink Leopard Mini Bronzing Powder 1 ea

Look out for part 2 of my Too Faced bronzer series coming soon!
