Too Faced Soulmates Blushing Bronzer

Hello loves! Been a long time since my last entry. So many things happened this month. It was my brother's wedding and had so many things going on with my life. I'm really sorry for not updating as often as I should.

Anyways, I was able to get my hands on this product. This is not a new product. This was released last year if my memory serves me right but it was only recently that it got released here in Sephora KL. 

This is the Too Faced Blushing Bronzer. It's a heart-shaped compact with a mirror  inside. It has a pretty pink blush and a nice bronzer inside. I bought the Ross and Rachel and there's another kind which is Big and Carrie. 

I am obsessed with this product. It's a powder product but it's sooooo creamy. You know what I mean? I can't describe how nice the texture is. It glides like a dream as a powder product. It's nothing comparable to MAC bronzers or blushers. It's really creamy and I like it. 

It has the Too Faced (TF) lettering on the powder. Although, in my opinion, it's not a must-have on your makeup list. It's not life changing and the price is quite hefty. RM135 ($45) for this compact. You can buy a palette with the price but for fans of Too Faced, I can say this is a product worth buying if you really are into their products.

Too Faced Melted Kisses Holiday 2014

I am back once again for my first holiday set review which is the Too Faced Melted Kisses lipstick set. 

This was only released in Sephora Malaysia yesterday while in the US it was released October 2014. The packaging looks very festive as you can see. These lipsticks by the way are only mini sizes. It contains 4 shades which are: Melted Nude, Melted Peony, Melted Fuschia and Melted Berry. The lipstick also has a velvety applicator that's why there's no need for a lip brush.

Swatches of the lipsticks:

Positive:

- comes with an applicator

- travel size

- packaging is adorable

Neutral:

- the shades are okay

Negative:

- it should be called a lip tint and not a lipstick

- price is steep 

- tint doesn't show the true color not unless tried with a lip concealer/neautralizer

My thoughts: 

I am confused on to why it is called a lipstick. I think it's more of a tinted lip gloss than a lipstick for me. It's very shiny and liquid-y. Lipsticks are supposed to be creamy hahaha but that's just me. I only liked the Melted Peony and Melted Berry. The other two are so-so for me. Good thing, I didn't bought the full-sized lipsticks because it will be a waste for me if I did. 

Where to Buy: Sephora 

Price: RM 99

Will you buy it again: Perhaps no, way too expensive plus I didn't like how it transferred to my lips. Not a fan of glossy items.

Review and Swatches: Too Faced À La Mode Eyes Palette

I bought this palette last month. I was supposed to give this out as a gift but I told myself this is a limited edition palette (who am I kidding? I loveeeee anything LE), hence, I decided to keep it for myself because I might not get the chance to own one. 

I was supposed to buy the UD Palette but I find the colors too bold. I can't use it on a day to day basis...plus I am not a makeup artist so it would be a waste to buy that. I bought this one instead. 

Packaging is gorgeous. I threw away the box but it was one of my basis for buying this one (HAHHAAHA...i know I'm not alone when it comes to packaging). 

Colors are to die for! Pigmentation is great. When I first used the eyeshadow, I didn't need any primer at all and I only used one swipe for each color and the payoff was gorgeous. 

I want to show you a picture of the eyeshadows up close: 

St. Tropez

Riviera

Cannes, Soleil, Jardin and Còte d' Azur

La Croisette

Monacco and De La Mer

The palette contains 9 eyeshadows and you can create 3 looks from the palette which are Day, Classic and Fashion. 

I want to show you the swatches for the 3 suggested looks:

Of the 3 looks, Day is my personal favorite as I always use the 3 eyeshadows. It is very wearable for office makeup since it looks natural. It also looks very dainty. 

Product Rundown:

Product: Too Faced À La Mode Eyes

Price: RM119 

Where to Buy: Sephora 

Pros:

- lovely pigmentation

- great color combination

- cute packaging

Cons:

- bulky packaging

- a little bit on the pearl/shimmer side but the shimmer is subtle. If you like matte eyeshadows then this might not be the palette for you 

Overall:

I'm very much satisfied with the palette. Definitely worth the price as the pigmentation of the eyeshadows are good.

Monthly Favorites: August

Sorry for being on hiatus for such a long time. My personal life has been a whirlwind. I've been sick for a long time and I've been moving in and out of the country that's why I wasn't able to update my blog for so long. I know it's a bit late to post my August Favorites but better late than never ^_^

Here are the products that I've been using for the month of August.

1. CLIO Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini - I bought this at Watsons in Malaysia for RM79. It contains 5 mini gel liners that can be used both as an eye liner or if you smudge it, it can be an eye shadow. What I like about it is that it is waterproof. You need a very good makeup remover for this one.

2. MAC LE Extra Dimension Blush Sea Me, Hear Me - I received this blush a long time ago and it was only last month that I got to appreciate the beauty of it. It takes awhile for you to get the right amount of color onto your cheeks but the effect is really gorgeous. Specially on my skintone. 

3. Beau.box Wonder Powder in Nearly Nude - I got this from a beauty subscription box in Malaysia. I forgot the price but this is the first mineral powder I own. The effect is flawless on my skin. I will do a separate review on this. 

4. CLIO Lipnicure in 03 Creme Pink - I love nude lip colors and this one is the perfect pinkish nude on me. It's a little bit tricky to apply this one but it works wonders. I bought this together with the Gelpresso liner at Watsons Suria. 

5. Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub - this lip scrub is divine. I can't believe this is the only time that I knew about this lip scrub. I got this from a beauty swap parcel from the US. The smell is amaaaaaazing! 

6. Too Faced A La Mode Eyes - one of my prized eye palette. Colors are goregeous. You can make 3 looks out of the palette. I will do a separate review on this one in the coming post.
