The "Alison" Look from Too Faced Loves Sephora palette

Hello dolls and boys,

[Sorry about the delay with the posts, I fell asleep last night while reading a novel before I was done!! Just randomly woke up so I'm posting 1 thing for now (maybe 2 if generous feeling), I've got 2 more posts coming later and one more post tonight about today's look.]

I have yet another look from the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette. I don't know if you can tell, but I'm just a little obsessed with my new palette. I'll probably be using it every day for a little while. Today's look is the "Alison", which is a look from the Look Book, or Glamour Guide, and is very simple and natural looking. Well except for the black liner and cat eye, but you could easily replace that with the same brown shadow used in the look, and you can simply line your top and bottom lash lines without doing the cat eye. The eyeshadows are really light and natural, you're using white and brown. I stayed true to the look and the products used, except that I used Chocolate Soleil in addition to everything in the look. I never tried Chocolate Soleil before and was excited to try it. I like the colour, but it can be a tad bit too dark for my light skin if I don't pay attention to the amount I'm putting on, so I prefer Bronzed and Poreless as a matte bronzer. It's lighter on my skin than Chocolate Soleil. Both are great bronzers. And I used the blush that comes in the palette, of course.




So I hope you like this look, I actually really like it and I see this look becoming a new favourite. If I hadn't done my Top5 before I got this palette, I would have surely included it on the list. When I've used almost every single colour, I will post a review on this palette. But so far I really do love it. It comes with 10 eyeshadows, 1 blush, 2 bronzers, mini Shadow Insurance and a Flatbuki brush. Everything is limited edition (meaning in this palette only) except for the two bronzers, Sun Bunny and Chocolate Soleil.

Simple and Effortless Makeup using Too Faced products and others

Hello dolls!

As you know, I've been sick all week and today I just wasn't in the mood to do a full-on makeup look, so I decided to keep it simple and effortless. This is for those of you that don't want to do heavy makeup during the day, or if you're sick like me and still have to go to school and work, this is like the bare minimum you should be doing. I kept it soft and natural using Too Faced's bb cream and their No Makeup Makeup Palette that I really love. As I mentioned in the Stila Haul post, I'm using the lipstick that I just got today. So here's the look!





Simple & Effortless Makeup Look



Eyes:
MAC Fluidline in Blitz n Glitz (a sparkly black, do your standard cat eye)
Too Faced Perfect Eyes Eyeliner in Perfect Black
Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara
Benefit Eye Bright



Face:
Too Faced Primed and Poreless Face Primer
Too Faced Tinted BB Cream in Snow Glow
Too Faced No Makeup Makeup Palette

  • Concealer: apply to under eye area
  • Bronzer: everywhere the sun naturally hits the face, or wherever you want to glow
  • Cream Blush: apply to cheeks
  • Luminizer: apply to cheekbones and bow on the lips
Too Faced Primed and Poreless Powder



Lips:
Stila Long Wear Liquid Lip Color in Petal



So that's my simple look for today! I forgot to take pictures of some items so I'm using some photos from sephora and mac.

Products Used:

MAC Fluidline in Blitz n Glitz - 19$CAD

Too Faced Perfect Eyes Eyeliner in Perfect Black - 25$CAD

Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara - 28$CAD

Benefit Eye Bright - 25$CAD

Too Faced Primed and Poreless Face Primer - 38$CAD

Too Faced Tinted BB Cream in Snow Glow - 44$CAD

Too Faced The Secret to No Makeup Makeup Palette - 48$CAD - 


Too Faced Primed and Poreless Powder - 36$CAD

Stila Long Wear Liquid Lid Color in Petal (discontinued on Stila and Sephora's sites)

I hope you enjoyed today's look. I know it's not particularly exciting, but this look can be work on a very hot summer day as it is very light on the skin and it can be worn on a day where you don't really want to wear much makeup.

Did you like the Stila lipstick? Do you prefer bright and bold or toned down and neutral? Are you a bb cream or a foundation person? What did you think of the No Makeup Makeup palette? Favorite product from this look?
