The "Margarita" Look from Too Faced Loves Sephora palette

Hello everyone!

I have 9 empties and I'm so excited because this means I'm so close to posting my Empties & Extras post that I've been working on for a long time now. I want to have at least 10 empties so it has enough content. Obviously it can't be a monthly thing, but every time I finish 10 products I will do a post.

Today I'm doing the "Margarita" look from the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette. As I've said before a million times, the palette comes with 10 eyeshadows, 1 blush, 2 bronzers, a mini shadow insurance, and a flatbuki brush. It also comes with a Glamour Guide that contains 15 looks. Why 15? Because it is a celebration of Too Faced and Sephora's 15 years of working together from the beginning and it is also Too Faced's 15th Birthday!! And with that comes this special limited edition palette that is exclusive to Sephora, meaning you won't find this on Too Faced's website.



Again, I will leave a link to my palette review, and all the looks I've done so far using this palette.

In my opinion, this look is extremely simple and doesn't require much time. You put TF <3's The Cast all over your lid and up into your crease and you line your upper and lower lashes with Envy and smoke the top out with Perfect Eyes in Perfect Black. Add some mascara, and voila! Fini. This is perfect for a woman on the go but still wants to have a beautiful and glamorous look. Just add some blush, bronzer, and lipgloss and you're all set for a night on the town! This look is definitely more of a night time look because of the extremely sparkly TF <3's The Cast eyeshadow. While the blush is not part of the Glamour Guide, I feel like I can't just wear bronzer, I need that added pink and this blush is beautiful. It does remind me a lot of Benefit's Bella Bamba, I'll have to swatch the two and compare them one day.



Also, ignore the random eyelash that's floating around in my eye lol.

The "Christie" Look from Too Faced Loves Sephora palette

Hey glam girls n boys,

Today I'm finally doing another look from the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette!! I got really into MAC this past week so I've been doing a lot of MAC looks but I still wanted to finish doing all the different looks that came in the Glamour Guide with this palette. At the bottom of the page I'll leave you the links to the review and to the other looks I've already done. I won't talk about the palette here, as I feel like I've talked about it a million times so if you've been reading my blog religiously, then it'll be really boring for you.




The Too Faced Loves Sephora palette was released by Too Faced exclusively for Sephora. It is their 15th birthday and they have been working together since the beginning. This palette contains 10 eyeshadows, 1 blush, 2 bronzers, a flatbuki brush, and a mini shadow insurance.




This look is a good way to add a pop of color to an otherwise natural look. It's still classy and work appropriate but it still has that fun vibe. If it's too much for you, you can always forget the green and just continue Jer Jer to the inner corner. I actually really like the green, it's subtle but cute.

Also, this palette is and all Too Faced products are cruelty-free but this particular palette is not vegan.

And that is the look! I quite liked the look, I thought the green made it pop out and made it unique, as opposed to your standard bronze and brown neutral eye. The nude lipstick and gold shimmer added to the brown eyes is what really makes that bit of green stand out.

So what did you think of the "Christie" look? Is this something you could pull off at work or would you only wear it out? What did you think of the Stila Kitten shimmer? Do you like it more than the Benefit High Beam that I usually wear? And did you like the Too Faced Loves Sephora blush and bronzer?

I would recommend this palette to someone who isn't afraid of colour. I personally really like it.

Too Faced Loves Sephora Palette Review

Hello dolls!!

I haven't done a review post in a long time. Sure, I've talked about the products I've used in a look and why I like it or not but I haven't done a post strictly reviewing a product. I'm going to be reviewing the new Too Faced Loves Sephora palette, which is exclusive to Sephora and it celebrates Too Faced's 15th birthday as well as their 15 years working together. My mom bought this palette for me as a little treat along with a couple other items. I was so ecstatic! I really wasn't expecting this even though I was hinting at it every chance I got.

Too Faced Loves Sephora Palette Review

This palette contains 10 eyeshadows (2 are slightly bigger), 1 blush, 2 bronzers, a mini shadow insurance, and a flatbuki brush.

Eyeshadows:
Piano Keys (bigger): shimmer off-white
So Cal: shimmer light pink
TF <3's The Cast: sparkle/glitter silver/gold
Jer Jer: shimmer bronze
525 Market: shimmer purple/brown
Behind The Counter (bigger): matte medium brown
Soho: shimmer light purple
Envy: shimmer dark purple
David & Marg: shimmer green/blue/teal
1998: shimmer with a bit of sparkle violet

Blush:
Who's Your Poppy?: pink with a touch of coral

Bronzer:
Chocolate Soleil: matte dark brown
Sun Bunny: shimmer, dark brown and a more golden brown (2 colours)


It also comes with a Glamour Guide, showing you 15 looks you can do with this palette.
I've already tried the Alison, the Artemis , the Jen and the Stephanie and I've even tried my own look. I'm going to try all the looks in the Glamour Guide eventually, as well as come up with my own look.

The Glamour Guide is very straightforward and shows you easy to slightly difficult looks. I know some people have trouble doing the cat eye, just a little bit of practise and you'll get it. Always use the guides as a basis for your look and adjust it to your eye shape. You don't need to do the exact look on the card, do what looks good on you.








As I've come to expect from Too Faced, the shadows are really pigmented and come on quite easy. They're all shimmer except for Behind The Counter. TF <3's The Cast is a glitter/sparkle shade. I find the colors are a bit light, like Soho for example, but I'm in love with the night so that's probably just me. There is a look for every occasion in this palette. I wanted it to play around with bright colours, since that's something I don't really do too often. My favorite eyeshadow in this palette is David & Marg. I just love this green. It reminds me of MAC's Aquadisiac.

The blush, Who's Your Poppy?, is a really nice colour that should be pretty much universal for almost every woman. I really like this blush, it looked great on me. They also included their two most popular bronzers, Chocolate Soleil and Sun Bunny. I don't think they do anything special for me, I much prefer Pink Leopard, but they are decent bronzers that give me a nice summer glow. I also prefer Bronzed and Poreless as a matte bronzer because it is lighter than Chocolate Soleil and it is a better shade for my light skin. And all 3 shades were a generous size. Which I love because it's almost even fullsize.

The Verdict: I would definitely recommend this palette to a friend! But only if she likes bright colours along with her neutrals, because it's a summery and fun palette. I really enjoyed doing the looks in the Glamour Guide and I think other women would like it as well. Too Faced always comes out with high quality products and I'm never disappointed. All their products are cruelty-free, but this palette is not vegan.


I hope you enjoyed my review on this product. I've been using it every day lately to try out the different looks and I'm always impressed at how well the looks turn out. I would definitely run out and buy one before they're all gone!!

Did you like this palette? Would you buy this? Let me know what you think about the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette. What is your favorite eyeshadow shade? bronzer shade? What did you think of the blush? What did you think of all the looks in the Glamour Guide? I encourage you to show me your own looks!! Are you buying this palette this summer before they're gone forever?

The "Artemis" Look from Too Faced Loves Sephora palette

Hey babes!!

I finished the Top5 Makeup Products for the Lips Category (to be posted later) and I did the Artemis look from the Too Faced Loves Sephora Palette. Sorry it took so long!

Today I'm doing the "Artemis" look. It's pink and green eyeshadows, which look lovely when they're put together. I used the blush even though it wasn't part of the look. I don't find I can only wear bronzer, I need a blush to brighten up my cheeks. It's a fairly easy look to do at home too. I also used the Too Faced Air-Buffed BB Creme. Now I remember what I liked and disliked about it. I like it because it covers more than their Tinted BB Cream but it's a pain to blend and set. And if you have any patches of dry skin, it makes it a million times more noticeable. I'm also wearing that MAC lipstick that I mentioned in my Top5, it's the one that I loved as a teenager but haven't worn in a while. It's called Pretty Please.




I usually do my eyes first and then my face, but because you're putting eyeshadow underneath your eyes, you should do your face first and then your eyes. The only downside is that is it harder to wipe away the fallout.

So that's the look! Hope you enjoyed it. Just realized that I did this look on Friday and it fits perfect for Fashion Friday! lol. Even though it's colourful, you could still pull this off in the day at work/school.

So what do you think of the "Artemis" look? Is it too colourful for daywear for you? And what do you think about MAC Pretty Please? It used to be my alltime fave lipstick as a teenager. What did you think of the Too Faced Air-Buffed BB Creme? And what did you think of the Sun Bunny bronzer? Which Too Faced bronzer do you like the most?

If you have any suggestions or ideas for a Fashion Friday look, please let me know!
