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.

DiorShow Liner Waterproof Review, Pictures, and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of DiorShow Liner Waterproof in Plum. This is a pencil eyeliner that has a really creamy formula with great color payoff. And since it's waterproof, it doesn't fade. At all. The only way to get this liner off is with makeup remover. I really like that about it because I know my liner won't fade. One of my favorite favorite things about this product is that even though it is a retractable pencil, it has a sharpener on the other end, just so you can keep the point of the liner sharp and precise. And it doesn't waste a ton of product like some sharpeners like that do. The product just glides on and doesn't skip and I can line my upper lash line in 2 swipes. Seriously! Great color payoff also. Plum is a dark grape color with no shimmer, very matte. And when you apply it, you can smudge it quickly but when it dries, it is not going to move. I love this liner and would love to try more colors. I probably will buy the dark brown one next. I think it is definitely worth the price tag. If you would like to purchase this product you can here for $29.

Sephora + Pantone Universe Venus Lure Lip Balm Review, Pictures, & Swatches

Hey guys! Long time, no see. I'm here today to review Sephora's + Pantone Universe Color of the Year Lip Balm in Radiant Orchard. Each year they team up together and release a slew of new beauty products centered around the color of the year. I'm a little late to the game, but this years color is Radiant Orchard. I bought this on its own a few weeks ago but it seems like they no longer sell it by itself, but it is still available it the set with all the other beauty products and luckily for you, since I waited so long, it's on sell! I'll give you the link after the review. So onto the product. It looks like a regular lipstick when you open it, but when you apply it to your lips it feels like a lipbalm and if you bare down to hard it will break. Mine did. I had no idea it was this soft. It literally melted down into the tube. I was a little heart broken. So I can't use it as a lipstick anymore and apply it straight from the tube, but I can use my finger and apply it but I don't like it as much. At least I took pictures before I used it. The color is extremely sheer and not very build able but it is still a pretty color. It doesn't last very long on the lips either. So, I'm pretty disappointed in this product but I have high hopes for other products from this collaboration. If you would still like to try this product and others, you can here for $39.

Urban Decay Electric Pressed Pigment Palette Review & Swatches

Hey guys! I'm so excited today because I am here to review Urban Decay's Electric Pressed Pigment Palette. This palette consists of 10 pressed pigments that are insanely pigmented and bright and a double ended brush. Before I want to start this review, I have to point out that a few of the shades are not intended for immediate eye area. Those colors include: Slowburn, Savage, Jilted, and Urban. The reason why you can't use them in your eye area is because they are some of the brighter colors. If you have sensitive eyes, I would not recommend using those colors on your eyelid, or around you eye. But if you do not have sensitive eyes, I believe it would be okay. So lets start reviewing the colors! Starting at the top left, Revolt is a bright silver shade. It has tiny silver specks of glitter which are prone to fall out. If you tap off your brush, it doesn't fall out too bad though. It's one of the rougher shades that are not as smooth, but it has good staying power. The next color is Gonzo which is a matte turquoise with a silver pearl finish. It is very soft and blends beautifully. Slowburn is next and it is an orange red matte, with almost a peachy pearl finish in the pan. On the eye, its a lot more matte and very soft. Next is Savage which is a very hot pink matte, but is one of the drier shades, but still blends okay. The last shade on the top is Fringe which is a metallic teal. It's a great shadow, but one of my least favorites. The first shade on the bottom is Chaos which is a cobalt matte blue. This shade is amazing. It is a little dry, but blends really well. It is definitely an uncommon shade. Jilted is next and it is a bright fuchsia which a blue shift to it. It is very soft and blends well. Next is Urban and it is a bright shimmery grape purple. It has pink undertones and looks really well with green eyes. Next to last is Freak which is a very light green with yellow gold shift. It is one of the softest colors and blends very very well. Finally we have Thrash which is a lime green matte with a gold hue. It is a little dry but still blends on the eye. If you would like to buy this palette, you can for $49 here. Now lets see some pictures!

Marc Jacobs The Tease Eyeshadow Palette Review

Hey guys! I'm here today with a review of Marc Jacob's Style Eye-Con palette in The Tease. This palette contains seven different eyeshadows ranging from shimmer, glitter, matte, and satins. It is full of plums, purples, and taupe colors. A few were a little hard to blend and then other colors were very smooth. They all have great staying power, but I used a primer underneath them. The package is my very favorite for eyeshadow! It comes in a very sleek case that had a clasp in the middle. The case also is enclosed in a sleeve that can close. This palette is very well designed and feels luxurious. It costs $59 and you can get it here.

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!

Smokey Purple Eye Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm here today with a deep purple smokey eye tutorial. The products will be listed down below :)

Final Look

Now let's get started!

First prime your eye and use a white base.

Then add a dark purple to the lid. Don't go above the crease with this color.

Now blend a black in the crease with a small precision brush. Try to keep the shape that I did which will make a soft cut crease. Go all the way down to the inner corners with this color.

Then with a flat shader brush, add a light purple to the very center of your eye.

Then I lined my upper and lower lash line with the same black eyeshadow. Then I added black pencil liner to my waterline and mascara.
