TOO FACED CHOCOLATE BAR EYESHADOW PALETTE REVIEW!

Hi Guys & Dolls!

I was so excited to receive my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette..even more so than the Naked 3!

It's actually part of the Too Faced Spring collection but was exclusive to Sephora until 12/31,and launched at Ulta on 1/1/2014.

It simply looks delicious ; the packaging reminds me of a Hershey bar I've been waiting to devour around that time of the month.

It's so cute-and the eyeshadows are formulated with real cocoa powder,making it even more decadent.

The colors:

There are 16 shades with a perfect combination of mattes and shimmery shadows.

The texture:

I was very impressed with the pigmentation and blendability of the shades.

The colors are all new also:

• Glided Ganache
• White Chocolate
• Milk Chocolate
• Salted Caramel
• Black Forest Truffle
• Triple Fudge
• Marzipan
• Semi-Sweet
• Strawberry Bon Bon
• Candied Violet
• Amaretto
• Hazelnut
• Creme Brulee
• Haute Chocolate
• Cherry Cordial
• Champagne Truffle

Overall,

I think it is definitely worth the $49 investment,and I find myself reaching for it everyday to create an array of neutral,soft and smokey looks.

You can purchase this at Sephora here.

What do you think about this palette? 

Do you love it or leave it?

URBAY DECAY VICE 2 PALETTE REVIEW AND PHOTOS!

Hi lovelies!

Check out my video review here!

I'm reviewing a beautiful palette that I was so excited to get my hands on;

Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette!

I have mainly MAC eyeshadows,but I received the Naked 2 palette as a gift last year,and I loved the buttery smooth texture of the shadows.this palette is no exception.

The packaging is very sleek and attractive,as most Urban Decay products are.

The color story is diverse,so you can create a multitude of looks with this.

I think for the colors,quality and packaging it is a great value for $59,plus I got an extra Sephora Discount (friends & family of 20%),so to me it was a double win!

My favorite colors in this palette are Prank,Betrayal,and Lovesick.

I wish it had a few more matte shades to use them as a transition/blending colors,but I can't complain.

You can get the palette here!

What's your favorite Urban Decay Palette?

SEPHORA AND CHANEL COLLECTIVE HAUL AND REVIEW

Hey lovely ladies! I've been hauling some products that I'd love to share with you!

Im such a shopping junkie,and my boyfriend is convinced I have a serious cosmetic hoarding condition..I'm afraid he's right :/ 

Makeup is what I do though,so its not like I won't use the products..thats how I justify it! :) 

Now onto what I got!

• Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in B20 (Im about M.A.C NC20) ($45)
• I love the luminous finish of this tinted moisturizer..It can actually be built up to medium-full coverage,yet feels really lightweight on the skin!
• Chanel Double Perfection Matte powder in Vanilla .5 ($50)
• This powder is silky,and smooth..can be used alone as a foundation powder or dusted on top of a foundation for full coverage.
• Benefit Play stick cream foundation in Spin The Bottle ($34)
• This foundation is buildable to full coverage,and covers redness and imperfections nicely! I use a M.A.C 182 Kabuki brush to buff it into the skin for a flawless finish.
• NARS Bolero Velvet Matte Lip Pencil ($24)
• I love the Nars velvet matte lip pencil.They wear for hours,and look nicely layered with other lipsticks or glosses on top.This colour is a gorgeous bright peachy tone.I combine this with M.A.C Playing Koi lipstick for a gorgeous nude peachy pink lip.
• Tarte amazonian clay 12-hr blush in Blissful ($25)
• I've read alot of good things about these blushes,and I can see why! Its quite smooth,and last for hours and hours.I love the colours,they are very pigmented.
• TiGi S factor wonderful tonight overnight treatment ($30)
• I purchased this from Cosmoprof,a professional beauty supply store,normally it retails for more.This was recommended to me by a girl who works at Toni & Guy.I have yet to try it but will update as my hair is quite damaged from heat & chemicals.

You can purchase these products at Sephora,Nordstrom,or Amazon

Hope you guys enjoyed my haul,will be adding more hauls soon! :)

Sephora TEMPTU AIRbrush Makeup System Haul and Review

Temptu AIRbrush System

So I took the plunge during the Sephora friends and family sale.
I got the Temptu machine,Porcelain airpods, and a Kat Von D palette in rock and roll (for free becoming Sephora V.I.B).
I've really been wanting an airbrush for awhile,and I do have an SKII but thats a mini handheld airbrush machine,and nowhere near the quality of this.
I must say it is so beautiful.Its small,portable,and the compresser isn't to loud.It has a control to change the settings from low to high depending on how much pressure you want which determines how much coverage of the foundation you'll get.
The design is very sleek and modern,and the perfect size.
The price is $225 for the machine and $55 for the 2 foundation pods.

Now onto the pros & cons:

Pros:
-Lightweight system-good for travel
-Quiet compressor
-Controllable coverage
-Hygenic makeup application
-Fast makeup application

Cons:
-Had to use alot of foundation to get full coverage
-Feels heavy on my skin (dry,dehydrated skin)
-Finish was very matte looking
-Foundation faded after a few hours
-Can only use TEMPTU airpod foundation

Final Conclusion:

These are just my opinions,so you may have a different view.
I recommend going to Sephora to have them put this on you,and wear it for a day before making a decision.
While it is nice to have,unfortunately for me it didn't live up to the hype.
This may work better for someone else,but I think i'll be giving other pro airbrush systems a try.

MAKEUP ARTIST DREAM :SEPHORA LUXURY LIGHTED MAKEUP STAND

Luxury Lighted Makeup Stand

This is every makeup addict's dream come true! I saw this while browsing Sephora,I never knew they had this.This would be also be great for the traveling makeup artist,and give a professional feel for Photo shoots,outside sets,weddings,or any makeup occasion.
I would give my left kidney for this! Hehe.

The cost is $998,and ships free from Sephora.

What it is:
A professional-caliber mobile beauty workstation.

What it does:
Take a world of show-stopping beauty on-the-go with this portable, standing lighted case, specially designed for makeup artists, hair stylists, and serious glamour girls. The central compartment's four cantilever trays can be lifted out and used separately, for increased versatility.

This ultimate beauty tool features:
- Ample size (23.6 x 18.1 x 9.1" external dimensions)
- Mirror (dimensions 14.2 x 16.5")
- Mirror extension to stand 3' above the floor
- 6 x 40 watt light bulbs around the mirror (U.S. specific electronics)
- Light dimmer feature
- International-compatibility plug

What else you need to know:
When you are on the move, just fold the legs back into the case, pull up the trolley handle, and away you go! A sturdy aluminum frame and flame-retardant side panels make this must-have durable enough to go on a flight (should be checked in as oversized baggage; the case can get banged up like any other suitcase going through the airport).

The case weighs 34.5 lbs.

REVIEW: SUGAR COSMETICS SUGAR SHELLAC & SWEET CHEEKS BAKED BLUSH CUPCAKE

Sugar Cosmetics is an awesome brand..Cute packaging,yummy scented products,beautiful colors..what more could a girl ask for? Supposedly this brand is/was discontinued,you can still find some products online. Such a tragedy as Ive loved Sugar forever!

I scored some great deals,though. I got Sugar Shellac gloss in Modge Podge from Sephora for $7.50. The gloss is soo delish..smells & tastes like sugar cookies.Color is a pretty pink,and its not too sticky of a gloss.My only gripe is the brush..its far to small to evenly apply product.


I also got Sugar Sweet cheeks baked blush in cupcake from TJ Maxx for $3.99!
What a steal! Its so pretty..a light frosty pink,and a deeper purple pink.
They're both sheer,and mostly add a sheer frost shimmer.

Grab it while you still can..it won't last long!
