Too faced SUGAR POP sweet eye shadows



Too faced came out with beautiful french macaron inspired shadows and I couldn't be more excited! The packaging is filled with bright macaron pictures. And inside the colors are just so colorful. Which makes it a great palette to have for spring.
I purchased it for $36 at Ulta.

Here are the swatches taken without primer.
Rock Candy,Macaron,Malted milk ball

I love this trio. It's really wearable and neutral. I love the rock candy color. It's a pigmented white shade with shimmers.

Strawberry Ice,Sugared Violet,Blackberry

This row is a purple lovers dream. It's an easy go to purple eye. The last color is blackberry is a matte and so beautiful. I love colors that are taupe with hints of purple.

Peach Fuzz,Bubblegum,Blue Raspberry

Now when I first saw this palette these are the three colors that drew me into buying it. The Blue Raspberry color is super pigmented and goes on creamy. I didn't even have to layer the swatch. I just swiped my finger through it and was so impressed!

It also comes with a little booklet of guides to how to create different shadow looks.

I feel like for the price these shadows aremore than worth it. I can createso much looks from nuetral to bright colors.

The consisteny of the shadows are so creamy and pigmented. Another winner in my book from Too Faced.

Too Faced Cocoa Contour Chiseled To Perfection review and swatches

 
 
 
With all the makeup companys coming out it can be hard to choose which one will be right for you.
So if your looking for an easy contour kit to use this could be for you. Now I somewhat know how to contour but with this palette it makes it so easy.
The colors are so creamy. They feel like a cream but their just a super finely milled powder.

It comes with four amazing colors. Two are bronzers and the other two are highlighters.
When I swatched these colors I loved how pigmented they were!
The color in light cocoa was extremly pigmented so when you high light with it,you'll notice a difference for sure. It's not a shimmery color it's more of a satin.
LIGHT COCOA

 
 
MEDIUM COCOA
Medium cocoa is a mid tone light grey brown. I haven't used it much because it is a little to light for my skin. But I could see it working great for lighter skin tones.
 
DARK COCOA
 
Dark cocoa is a matte warm toned color.I've already gotten so much use out of this! Usually when you contour you want a grey cool toned color but for me I notice for me warm colors look best.
I can say it is the softest bronzer I've ever used. It glides on my skin without being splotchy
 

POP OF LIGHT
 
Now I know your looking at this color like why is there big gold glitters?!
But hold on don't freak out because when it's applied over your makeup it doesn't look that instense.
I happen to love the shimmer it gives to my cheeks.
I would say just put a tiny amount on the tops of the cheeks sparingly.




It even gives a little paper showing three looks to try out!
 
 
THINGS to know about the product:
  1. Can be found at Sepohora or too faced.com for $40
  2. Not blotchy at all
  3.  Smells like their signature chocolate scent
  4. Great for light and dark skin tones
  5. I have worn this to the gym for the purposes of seeing how good it would perform on a hummid day and it held up! so great for the upcoming summer.

Too Faced #Nofilter Selfie light reflecting powders NEW


 
Who doesn't want to put the hashtag #nofilter
on their pictures? I know I would and the new Too Faced Selfie powders can make it happen.
This is a new product that can be found at too faced.com or Sephora's in JC Pennys. It retails for $36 dollers and comes with three light filtering powders.
 
 
Now I have to tell you when I first found about this product I thought it looked like a gimmick. I mean could powders actually change the way my skin looks in pictures?
When I tested out these products I noticed they did just that. They blurred the look of my pores and gave a brightness back to my face.

                                

                                
 
 
 

The first color in the palette is banana color (Sunrise) that is suppose to give a brightening warmth to your face. I apply this shade under my eyes and I truly notice a big difference. It counter acts any darkness and leaves me an awakened glow to my face.

 
The next shade is a warm toned bronze shade(Totally toasted).
Don't be scared to use to this color becasue it is so finely milled that it just gives a soft bronzy glow. I put it where I would put my contour and it just warms up those parts.

    Moon river is the last shade in the palette. This was is an interesting color. Usually when you think of highlighting your face you don't think to use a lavender shade. But when applied it gives a light etheral glow. I put it just above my cheek bones and it makes my cheeks so glowy without the shimmer.
      


                                  



These powders are something else. I can't even believe that powders could even do things that these do. First of all there so buttery and finely milled that the color will always come out natural. I can totally see this becoming something I have to use everyday!
 
I would say definetly go check this product out in stores and see for yourself how beautiful the shades are.

Too Faced Everything Nice holiday 2014 limited edition palette

 
 
So the holidays are coming early well atleast to makeup companies they are. This pallete released in September and I knew I had to get it early this time because last year I tried waiting till December to get the Too Faced 2013 palette and it was sold out. So I picked it up days after it was released and have been testing it out ever since.
The palette contains twenty eyeshadows,two blushes,one bronzer,highlighter,three piece blush set,mascara,and a glitter makeup bag.
 
 
 
  Since there is so many shadows I decided to showcase four of my favorite light colors and then five of the darker colors. The top two shadows are my favorite eyshadow duo.
  • The first is called"Shiny Happy" and that is highly mettalic pigmented white gold,perfect for inner corner highlighting.
  • Next is "Be You" which is a matte lavender hue.
 
  • Next row are both shimmer shades. "Marvelous" a glittery light baby purple. It is a sheer wash of color.
  • The one to to the right of it is "Don't settle" a tan brown glitter.
 



Now this palette also had some really great deeper colors that I will use on so much looks.
  • The first color I'll talk about is "Head over heels" a ultra chuncky glittery sheer blue color. It does need multiple coats to achive a deep color.
  • The very top color is"Knock out" a deep matte chestnut color
  • The one below that is"Secret Lovers" a green brown shimmer shade
  • "Kindness is free" is a pretty cool tone barbie pink
  • My Favorite dark shadow is"Girly" a duo chrome which is a beige pink color which speaks of green. It is an interesting color for sure.



 
 

On to the bottom half of the palette. It hold two blushes that I wish had deeper pigmentation. there also alittle powdery when applied. So I usually just end up using what ever other blush I have. The colors are a pink and a peach color.
The chocolate soleil bronzer is on the lighter side of bronzers too. I have to pack on the color to see it show up.
You'll also learn that I love highlights and wear one everyday because it gives the face a glow and so youthful. So when I saw that the palette had a highlighter I got  so excited. I like highlighters that are pigmented so I'll just need a swipe and I'll be done. Well the one in this kit is quite sheer so it takes me quite a few swipes to get any color.


 
Also included is a deluxe size too faced mascara. I use it everyday and dont see a big difference in any other mascara I have. I apply another mascara over it so it doesnt flake off.
 
 
Overall I'am very pleased with this set and happy I could get my hands on it. The shadows are insanly pigmented and great color selection. It has a great mix of neutral and more colorful colors. Just Great quality you expect from Too faced cosmetices.

TOO FACED Return Of Sexy Palette

 
 


I've been wanting to get this since December and barely picked it up since I could no longer resist the glittery appeal it has. Other people say it is too glittery but to me nothing can ever been to glittery. Yes it is true about all of the shadows are shimmery but it's not chunky glitter. The shadows take on the appearance of metallic shadows which is so impressive. Not only do they have a metallic appearance but these are so silky soft!


 
 
This palette is sectioned off in three distinct color palettes. This first one is called The Ingenue. It's comprised of warm brown hues. As you can see from the eyeshadow card you can create a beautiful soft smoky brown eye.
  • The top color is called Naive, which is a warm toned cream color. It has great color payoff
  • Next color is the first one in the second row called Ingenue,such a beautiful chocolate color with gold flecks in it
  • Middle color is Innocent, a light bronze color again with gold shimmer
  • Then the last color in the second row is New in town, this is the lightest color with minimal payoff but I love it in the color as a wash of gold iridescence
 
 


If you've ever wanted shadows to do an amazing purple eye look then here it is. I've wanted to always do a purple eye look but I never knew how to pair purple colors together to create a cohesive look but with the purple hues section it makes it so easy. It's called The Icon for a reason for it's classic elegance that I absolutely love.
 
  • The top highlighter color is called Pink Diamond, a nice light pinky highlighter that complements the other shadows so well
  • First in second row is Icon, a great magenta pink , beautiful as lid color
  • Then we have Divorce a taupe silver color. 
  • Last color in second row is Hopeless Romantic as a true pigmented purple color
  • Last shadow is called Primadonna, A black toned purple color.It looks so good when you put it in your crease.

 
     Last Section is comprised of the prettiest colors to give you as they say the bombshell eye. I'm delighted to tell you that I'm over the moon about these colors. It makes its so easy for me to create a smoky eye in no time.

  •  The top highlighter color is called 7 year itch.It's just a wash of champagne glitter
  • The the fist swatch in the second row is a blur toned silver that is breathtaking. It's rightfully named Bombshell
  • Next is called Hollywood, a putter grey color
  • Last one on the second row is called maneater. The color is rose gold beige color
  • Last is called Beautymark, a very midnight black with silver flecks




This kit also includes a mini shadow insurance primer and a full size perfect eyes waterproof black eyeliner. Such great little extras that compliment the palette.








Too Faced has definitely brought sexy back with this palette!

Too Faced Be Bright and Merry Review


 
 
 
 
 
 

 I originally wanted the other huge palette Too faced offered but it sold out so fast so I decided this was the
 next best thing. It is far better than I hoped for. The colors are insanely pigmented and velvety smooth. The kit itself came with a glamorous gold makeup bag with two palettes and a full size lash extension mascara. It retails for $45 but ulta was offering it for $38.
I feel like I got such a great deal as each palette comes with 6 eye shadows a blush and either an luminzer or bronzer.
 
What I look for in palettes is if I can use the palette for a whole look and not have to dabble in other random shadows or other eyeshadow palettes. It's more convenient and helps me get a lot of wear out of a palette. This kit not only has everything I'm looking for but the packaging is so cute. It has a chevron design to it making it look so chic.
 
Alright let's get to the palettes shall we. I'll start with the Be Bright palette. It's my favorite one out of the two.
 
WISH: is a semi matte beige color
BRIGHT EYES: The prettiest magenta pink you'll ever see
SEQUIN: A deep forest green almost duo chrome
MARSHMALLOW: light sheer baby pink
MARVELOUS: iridescence light grey

STARRY NIGHT: A black with silver sparkles
 
INNER LIGHT: A light pinky highlight
LOLLIPOP: baby pink
 




                                                                  Be Merry Swatches
 
EGGNOG:white matte
VERRY MERRY: olive shimmery green
BUTTERED RUM: a golden carmel
BUBBLY: pure golden shimmers
BROWN SUGAR: medium toned shadow
CHOCOLATE MOON: black with gold glitters
 
 
 
Such a good idea to add a bag to this kit. Very travel friendly.
