Too Faced "Melted" Liquid Lipstick

 I recently lightened my hair from dark green to light green and the transition has been tough for me. Figuring out new eye brow color and what eye and lip colors play well with this new hair has been difficult. I felt like a lighter eye and bold lip may pair well so I went to Ulta to pick up some new shades. First off, my Ulta is always out of stock of whatever it is I am shopping for. Ugh. I wanted to get some NYX lip products but of course they did not have any of the colors I wanted. I ended up being intrigued by the Too Faced display and decided to try the new Melted liquid lipstick in Melted Candy. Below are my thoughts and opinions on this product!

What is it? Long wearing liquid lipstick.

 How much is it? $21

 Where to buy it? Ulta, Sephora or Too Faced

 What is it supposed to do?  Description from the Too Faced website says:
Get the staying power of a stain, the intense color of a liquid lipstick and the high shine of a gloss in one long-wear formula. Using exclusive technology to keep cauldrons of molten lipsticks liquid and creamy, Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick comfortably coats lips in bursts of intense, high-impact, super rich, saturated color that lasts for hours.

 What does it ACTUALLY do? It lived up to the claims of intense color and high shine for sure. The long wear formula was a bit of a stretch in my case. I found that it did last longer than normal lipstick or gloss but not as long as long wearing liquid to matte lipsticks that I have tried. It was super creamy, it had a great texture, smell and application was really easy. One thing I did notice was that a lip liner is a must with this product. It started to feather out of my lip lines quite quickly and looked messy after an hour or so.

 Overall thoughts? I like the texture and color of this lipstick quite a bit. However, I did not like how much it feathered off my lips and the fact that it stayed quite wet was an issue for me because I have a 9 month old who loves to grab my face and give kisses. Overall it is a really nice product but not for me right now. I will save it for a few months and hopefully be able to wear it because the color is gorgeous!

Too Faced lashGASM mascara

What is it? Vitamin rich lengthening mascara
 How much is it? $21

Where to buy it? Too Faced website, Sephora and Ulta

What is it supposed to do? Information from the Too Faced website :

The vitamin-rich, creamy formula penetrates for high-color absorbency and exaggerated length. Multiple rows of flexible yet firm, molded bristles are designed with micro-hooks that grab each and every lash for a gorgeous, clump-free application. 

Pigment-Rich Payoff: Vitamin-rich, creamy formula penetrates for high-color absorbency and exaggerated depth. Lash Protection: Meadow foam Seed Oil forms a protective barrier to lock in soothing emollients that promote long term wear without drying or harming lashes. Conditioning: A moisturizing combination of Panthenol, Vitamins A & E and Jojoba Seed Oil hydrates and soothes lashes to keep them soft, light and flexible.

 

 What does it ACTUALLY do? It did noticeably lengthen my lashes. I can't say that my lashes felt more conditioned. As far as the color pigmentation they claim, I have tried many other mascaras that are blacker and more pigmented.

Overall thoughts? I liked this mascara a lot. It does live up to it's claims to lengthen which I really liked. The formula is nice and smooth. I was able to apply two coats without clumping. It wore well for hours, no flaking at all and washed off easily. At $21 it is out of my normal price range so I most likely would not buy it again.

Have you tried Too Faced lashGasm? If so what did you think? Do you think that drug store mascaras compare?

Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons Palette

'

            I came across this palette last month while browsing Ulta. I went in for a measly NYX Jumbo Pencil but wanted to look around a bit. I instantly fell in love with the look of this palette. I finger swatched a few of the shadows and was just done. I needed it. Of course I was on the strict no buy. I left Ulta without it but decided it would be mine....eventually.

            Well, obviously the eventually happened! A couple of my friends gave me some Sephora gift codes so in the end this palette ended up costing me very little. I ordered this palette and everything pictured below and paid only $52. The palette itself retails for $42 so I totally scored!

  Cut the Cake, Candy Rose and Peach Fuzz are my faves so far. I had this for a few days before I had a chance to play with it. After using it only once I am sort of sad. I suddenly realized that this is a neutral toned palette. Derp, I do not usually wear neutrals. I think I fell more in love with the packaging and the glittery lavender and pink shades. The shadows themselves are gorgeous and this palette offers matte, metallic, shimmer and glitter all in one which is great. I did find the shadows swatched more opaque and bold on my arm than on my lids. . If I wore neutrals more this palette would be the BOMB, but I find nude tones so hard to work with.

 I have only used this palette once so far. I could not get any good pics close up so this is the only one I have. I used a little Vanilla, Cut The Cake, Framboise and Candy Rose. I liked the look but I just have a hard time blending and making nudes look right. I plan on playing with this palette a lot more in the coming weeks. I am glad that I got it because of the range of finishes that it offers. I have a great Ben Nye neutral palette but it is all matte so this palette is a nice addition to my collection. I think this is a fabulous palette if you are looking for neutral shades!

Did you pick up Too Faced Shadow Bon Bons? If so, what did you think?

Too Faced Haul

             I recently placed an order at Apothica for some Too Faced items. Too Faced has been on my want list FOREVER!!! I found a few things I wanted in the sale section which was nice. I paid approximately $50 for his haul.  I ordered on a Friday and had this all in my hands by Tuesday! Apothica is awesome!!

Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance Policy Set

$37.60

             I have been using Too Faced Shadow Insurance for about a week and I really like it. It works as well as Urban Decay Primer Potion and is around the same price. I still think for the price and performance I prefer elf primer. One thing I dislike is that it doesn't have a doe foot applicator like UDPP or elf primer. This one you have to squeeze out onto your finger and then apply.  The Two Faced shadows are gorgeous and very easy to blend BUT they seem to bring out all the wrinkles and lines on my eyelids. The shadows I bought all had either a metallic, duochrome or shimmer finish to them which really just settled into all the lines on my eyelid. I asked around and most of my friends said they did not have this problem so I would say it is very unlikely unless you have pretty wrinkled eyelids that you would have this problem.

Too Faced Eyeshadow Duo

Lucky Charms $17

              I did not take a close up picture of this look because my eyelid looked like snakeskin. YUCK. I am pretty bummed about these shadows not working for me because I really like this look from far away LOL.

Too Faced Starry Eyed Liner

Mad Mad Love

$17.30

            I am in love with his liner. It is so pretty and filled with glitter. I have used it a few times in some super sparkly looks. I will post some pics of those soon!!

           So that was my Too Faced haul from Apothica. Do you have a favorite Too Faced product? Have you ordered from Apothica? If so did you have super fast shipping too?
