These are my very first products
from Too
Faced Cosmetics! I did receive a bronzer a while back with Beauty 101
Sephora Favorites set inside JC Penny but that is still untouched.
Actually, a very few products from Too Faced generates interest in my mind.
Mainly their packaging is girly and cute …which is not really my style.
I have previously shared that I
am fanatic for Sephora (and Ulta) Value Sets :-) In these sets you get a few of their most popular and
best-selling products to try out at a very justifiable price. I saw this newly
created set and thought of giving it a try! If you are a beginner in makeup or
beginner to the brand these are just perfect. Here are some other kits of
similar nature.
This limited-edition set has 5 of their innovative and must-have
products at a price of $25. By simple
calculation, you will pay $5 of each item. I went a bit further and found that
based on price per weight ratio this set is worth $43. You can find the link to
shop the set here.
Hangover Replenishing Face Primer: This is a relatively new product
in their line. I have been skipping primers a lot during the summer. So, I
believe the very true test of this product will be in the winter when I cannot
simply imagine wearing any type of foundation without primer. On application it
is very cooling on my face and it worked well with my foundation and it did
give me a nice canvas to work on. I like it but I don’t find it overwhelming impressive,
yet. Plus, for a face primer it is a very small size…It will hardly last for a
week of usage – at best.
Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer: Even though I said I hate their
packaging; I do actually like the vintage-y looking design of these tubes! The
product has a hint of color in it so it can cover up any redness or vein in
your lids. I don’t have oily lids; but it did perform as well as any other primer I use. Plus
this size will be perfect for travelling.
Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in "Medium/Deep": I have been pretty happy with the
two bronzers that I use regularly – Bare
Minerals First Resort Bronzer and Lorac
Tantalizer, both of which I have reviewed earlier.
I do not really appreciate the cardboard plastic type packaging; it simply kind
of appears cheap. The bronzer smells like chocolate and it’s a cool toned
shade! But it still warms you up and is very easy to blend. I still favor my
other two bronzers but this is a nice alternative for some days!
Melted Long Wear Lipstick in “Melted Fig”:
I will admit that this was the product that I was most excited about! I have
finally and slowly started to experiment with purple lip shades. And I LOVE, LOVE it. I don’t understand why
it took me this long to jump in the “Too Faced Melted Lipstick” bandwagon! I
love the rich and opaque formula; because of the unique applicator it is easy
to apply too and stays all day. I wore it at 7 am and it was still there, bold
and strong till the time I reached home around 6 pm surviving 1 cup of coffee,
lunch, and several snacks! I have been wearing it a lot these days and I am
super impressed. “Fig“ is a muted mid-tone
purple with a lot of mauve which makes it very wearable on my skin tone.
I am really very happy with this!
Better Than Sex Mascara: This is one insanely popular mascara in
the world of beauty! Maybe because it’s genuinely good or maybe because of its
quirky name. I have a ton of mascara to try out; hence have not opened this and
used it yet - I will definitely share my thoughts when I do. But, I like the
shape of the wand!
So, my first experience with Too
Faced has been really good! Affordable price for 5 universal products, comprehensive
products to wear every day and I am in love with the lipstick. Apart from
really tiny face primer size and the cheap packaging for the bronzer, I am
really enjoying this set. I will highly recommend this! Especially if you are
looking for travel-sized goodies, or if just want to dip your toes into the Too
Faced world!
Love,
