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.

Bee Naturals Lip Gloss and Luxury Lipstick Reviews and Swatches
Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of Bee Naturals Lip Gloss in Fig and Luxury Lipstick in Chaste. I already gave a mini review of the company on my post with the Blemish Lotion and Oil-Free Moisturizer which you can read here. So lets get started with the reviews.
Lip Gloss in Fig - $6.95
This product comes in a squeezy tube which some people don't like, but I prefer this packaging. I feel like applicators waste the product. The color is a very neutral brown red. It can be sheer but buildable on the lips. But here is where things start going wrong. The consistency is like grape jelly. When applied to the lips is was so streaky and would not blend no matter how much was applied. My lips looked patchy and sad. I really wanted this product to work because I love the color but I couldn't. If you would like this product you can purchase here.
Luxury Lipstick in Chaste - $24.95
Lets start of this review by saying I LOVE this lipstick. It is so creamy and the perfect color. It is a neutral pink and matches my lips perfectly. It comes in black packaging with gold in the middle. It looks very gorgeous. This color is also sheer but can be buildable. It looks very natural on the lips and wears very well and doesn't smear. I seriously need every lipstick in this line. If you would like this product you can get it here.
I really love every product I got from this brand and would love to try more! If you would like to purchase any of their items head on over to http://www.beenaturals.com/.

Urban Decay Naked3 Rosy Neutral Eyeshadow Tutorial
Hey guys! I'm here today with a rosy neutral eyeshadow tutorial using the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. A.k.a - Best palette ever created. Let's get started.
First prime your eye. I used Sin from Urban Decay.
Then I added Buzz all over the lid.
And then blended Mugshot in the crease and Darkside in the outer corner. Blend blend blend.
Next I added Strange to my brow bone and in the inner corners to highlight and brighten everything up. And then I mixed Darkside and Mugshot and added them to the bottom lashline keeping very close to the lashes.
To finish I used a black gel liner on my upper lash line, a black pencil liner in my waterline, and added mascara. On my lips I'm wearing Burt's Bees Tinted Lipbalm in Pink Blossom.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation Review
Hey guys! I'm here with a review of Tarte's Airbrush Foundation. It is a powder foundation that feels velvety smooth on the skin. When I put it on, it has a flawless, matte finish and stay on the whole day with zero shine which is amazing. One of my favorite things about this product is that it has buildable coverage, so on days you want more or less foundation, it's really easy to do! I use a dense fluffy brush meant for mineral foundation but I really really want the Airbuki Bamboo Powder Foundation brush that Tarte created along with this foundation. I received a sample of this foundation along with a Sephora order and I will purchase the full size as soon as I finish my mini! It comes in 11 shades and the shade I got is faire - light neutral. The full size costs $36 and if you would like to purchase this foundation for yourself you can here. Now for photos!

Sephora Desert Sunset Eyeshadow and Blush Palette Review and Swatches
Hey guys! I'm here tonight with a review of Sephora's Desert Sunset palette. This palette contains 12 eyeshadows, 1 blush, and 1 bronzer. It is a lot smaller then I thought it would be, about the size of my hand. I really like that because it is perfect for travel. The shades are fairly neutral with a dark purple, olive green, and dark black. There are only two matte shades and they are black and an off white. The rest of the shades are shimmery with minimum fallout. The one that has the most fallout would be the medium brown at the top right, which I was sad about because I was really excited about that shade. The blush is bright pink and the bronzer is crazy shimmery, so it is kind of hard to use as a contour but is perfect for putting color back into your face! This product retails for $16 but is one sale for $10. If you would like to purchase this for yourself, you can here Ok, now onto the swatches.
