Too Faced Chocolate Bar Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! Long time, no see. Sorry about that, I was busy with school. But now it is summer and I am ready to get back into the groove of blogging. Today I am reviewing the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette. I'm late to the party on this one, so I hope that's okay. This eyeshadow palette is full of brown neutral shades and a few purple toned ones also. I'll go through each shade individually but I want to give a brief overview. The actual palette is shaped into a chocolate bar and smells like a Hershey's chocolate bar when opened. It smells exactly like their chocolate bronzers, because both are made with cocoa. I think the eyeshadows overall are of nice quality, but nothing amazing. They have great pigmentation but are not buttery like LORAC eyeshadows. Some are on the dry side like Black Forrest Truffle. I think this is a great palette, and if you want to buy this for yourself, you can for $49 here.

Gilded Ganache - A dark brown with an antique gold shimmer. Great pigmentation, very soft.

White Chocolate - A matte beige, with yellow undertones. Is very similar to one of their popular shades called 'Heaven'. It's not very pigmented but makes for a great browbone highlight.

Milk Chocolate - A matte medium warm brown. Good pigmentation. A little stiff in the pan.

Black Forrest Truffle - Burgundy with gold shimmer. Like I said before, this one is dry and not as pigmented as it could be. Also, when swatched, the gold shimmer teems to disappear.

Triple Fudge - A matte dark warm brown. Very soft and great pigmentation. One of my favorites. Easy blendable.

Salted Caramel - A matte peachy orange with undertones of brown. Amazing color when swatched but very powdery.

Marzipan - A peachy rose gold metallic shadow. Great pigmentation. One of my favorites. Love patting this onto the center of the eyelid.

Semi-Sweet - A warm matte medium brown. It is dry and patchy. But it can be buildable.

Strawberry Bon Bon - A matte baby pink. Not very pigmented and stiff in the pan. I use it to blend out the other shades, not just a color by itself.

Candied Violet - A purple shadow with pink shimmer. Oh man do I hate this eyeshadow. When swatched, there is barely anything there. It's just dots of pink shimmer. Nothing like it looks in the pan.

Amaretto - A frosty dark brown with red sheen to it. This is a very buttery shadow with great pigmentation.

Hazelnut - A bronzy brown shimmery eyeshadow. Good pigment, but on the powdery side.

Creme Brulee - A very warm gold. Smooth and good pigmentation.

Haute Chocolate - A dark warm bronze with lots of gold shimmer. Amazing pigmentation and very smooth.

Cherry Cordial - A dark red with hints of purple and silver flecks. Very dry and when swatched, there's not a lot of pigment and fallout with the flecks of silver.

Champagne Truffle - A light pink shimmery eyeshadow. Almost on the frosty side. Very buttery, great pigmentation.

Vapour Organic Beauty Trick Stick Highlighter Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today to review the Vapour Organic Beauty Trick Stick Highlighter in Dazzle. This company was very to send me one to review, so thank you guys so much! This product comes in four different colors, and like I said earlier, I received Dazzle, which is a yellow gold toned highlighter. Their website states "Trick Stick is made with 70% organic ingredients and 30% natural mineral pigments". I have been dabbling in organic makeup lately, so I was very enthused when I came across this brand. They have a wide range of makeup, including foundation, powders, lipsticks, cream eyeshadows, and cream blushes and bronzers! That's a lot to choose from, so I can't wait to try more of their things. So let's start talking about the actual product.

So this product is a cream highlighter. It comes in a twist up stick applicator, with a small, found, flat surface. I really like that it is so small and compact because it would be great to travel with or just throw in your makeup bag. The color is a light yellow gold with gold shimmer. You can use this product on your cheekbones, brow bone, cupids bow, or inner corner of your eye. Really anywhere you want to put a highlight. You can apply this directly to your cheek bones or you could use a brush. If you would use a brush, I would recommend a stiff flat one. When I applied this to my cheekbones, it was very creamy, I blended it out with my ring finger, and it blended so well! The color is very pigmented when you first apply is, so I definitely recommend to blend it out. Throughout the day you could clearly see the highlight well. I will say that it was very cold the day I wore it, so I don't know how well it would hold up through sweating all day. There was some fading near the end of the day, but it still looked gorgeous.

I don't know if you can tell, but I really love this product! It's pigmented, it blends well, and it has very good staying power. What more could you want? I definitely will be ordering more colors and different products from this company soon. If you would like to try this out, head on over to http://www.vapourbeauty.com/ and order it for $20 here.

P.S. - I'm not exactly sure what happened during shipping, but my box arrived completely busted up, but thankfully the product was not messed up at all! Just explaining why the box looks the way it does.

Sephora All Access Glam Gold and Silver Eye and Face Palette Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of Sephora's All Access Glam palette today. This is a small palette, about the size of my hand, that contains four neutral shades on the left, four smokey eye shades on the right, two blushes on the top, two blushes on the bottom, and a face highlighter in the middle. That's a lot of stuff for such a cheap price, folks! This is one of Sephora's holiday palettes, so it is limited edition. And you may be thinking that this palette is amazing but lets get down to business. The color quality is nowhere near mind blowing. Even with a primer underneath, the swatches were so underwhelming. Another thing is that the blushes are so small that it is very difficult to dip a regular sized blush brush into the pan without getting another color on the edge of the brush. That's really annoying because the blushes are the best thing about this palette. Other than that it is very travel friendly.

On the left side, you have four neutral/gold shadows. This first one is a white shadow with golden sheen. When swatched it looks almost completely matte. There is a slight sheen if you apply it with a stiff brush, but when blended out, the golden shimmer completely wipes away. Really disappointing.  The second color is a gold color. It is a very orangey gold, not a bright cool toned gold which a really like. Again this one in the plan look very shimmery with light golden pearls, but when swatched, it is completely wiped away and you're left with a light orange/gold color. Bleh. The third color is a yellow gold color with a slight sheen to it. When swatched there's very little color. Very very difficult to blend and even show up. In my opinion, one of the worst colors. The last color on the left side is a warm brown with lots of gold shimmer. This is the only color on this side that holds them shimmer when you use it. It does blend okay, but not buttery smooth.

On the right side, you have four smokey/silver eyeshadows. The top shade is a matte cream shadow. Very stiff and no pigment. My other least favorite shadow. The second shade is a taupe gray with silver shimmer. When swatched it is a very cool toned gray with a slight sheen. Nothing silver about it. One of the more better shadows. Still not blown away though. The third shade is the darkest in the palette. In the pan it looks like a dark gray with lots of bright silver glitter. When swatched it takes on an almost brown tone. Very strange. The last color is a bright silver. When swatched it's very shimmer and one of the softer shades.

In the middle you have four blushes and one highlighter. On the top you have two blushes. The left one is a very bronzed dark pink with lots of gold shimmer. You could use this has a bronzer if you have tanner skin, but if you have very light skin like I do, just use it as a blush. The color looks very weird on my skintone, so not my favorite, but the pigment is very smooth. The one next to it on the right is a bright pink. In the pan it has a very slight sheen, but when swatched it's matte. Very smooth, lots of pigment. My favorite part of the palette. On the bottom you have two more blushes. The left one is a coral/orange/pink color. Very different. When swatched it looks quite similar to NARS Deep Throat, but lighter. The right one is a rose toned pink. Nothing special, just a little stiff in the pan. In the middle you have a light golden face highlighter. It almost looks on the bronze side, but when on the skin it's very light and looks gorgeous. The very best part of the palette.

So all in all, I do not like this palette. It doesn't have amazing pigmentation and doesn't blend at all. I was very disappointed, but I will try to use it. If you guys would like to see a tutorial using some of these shades, let me know in the comments! And if you would like to check this out for yourself, you can for $15 here. Let's see some pictures.

Urban Decay Naked3 Palette Review and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of Urban Decay's Naked 3 palette. Ahhhh!!! It's finally here!! I felt like dancing when the mail man brought the package to my door. Everyone and their dog is obsessing over this palette and I can see why. This palette contains 12 rose gold toned eyeshadows ranging from shimmers to mattes. It is the same packaging as the Naked 2 palette which is good because I hate the packaging of the first Naked palette. It comes with a dual sided brush; one end is small and flat which is good for packing on the color and the other side is a small flat blending brush good for getting inside the crease. It also comes with four samples of their primer potions including the Original, Eden, Sin, and Anti - Aging. I think this palette is amazing but would really look good on pale skin and people with green eyes (like me!). If you would like to purchase this palette you can here, for $52 and also here. Ok on to the pictures and swatches.

Thanks for reading!

Autumn Eyeshadow Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm here today with a autumn/fall tutorial. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I love all the makeup looks that come with it! So here is my everyday autumn makeup :) Products will be listed below. Let's get started!

First prime your eyelid with a primer. Then cover your lid with a cream or pencil liner that is a light gold color. I used an eye pencil.

Then put a gold eyeshadow all over your lid.

Then add a matte orange to the outer 3rd and then blend a dark purple in the crease.

Next add the dark purple on the lower part of your lashes and only to the outer corner to the middle and at the middle blend the light gold to the inner corner. Finally add a matte cream color as your highlight on your brow bone.

After you add gel liner to the top lash line, black pencil liner to the water line, and mascara you're done!
