Too Faced Le Grand Palais

 Too Faced Le Grand Palais Palette

Price: $58.00

      Here is the holiday limited edition set from Too Faced, called the Le Grand Palais.  I think that Too Faced has really done it with their display of cosmetics.  I love Too Faced not only for the quality of their products, but also for their displays.  The packaging on all their products are very cute and eye appealing.
     This palette here comes with an amazing display (as seen below).  When you open the palette up it shows a mini display of a little house.  I think it is very cute and makes the palette that much more fun.  Not only does this palette come with 15 eyeshadows, 3 highlighters, and 4 blush/bronzers, BUT it also comes with their "better than sex" mascara, shadow eye insurance primer and a melted lipstick in peony.

Overall, Too Faced has yet to never disappoint me on their packaging and product.  It comes with a very cute dollhouse box and it also has many different deluxe sized products to try out.  This palette also comes with everything from highlighters to blushes and their famous sun bunny bronzer, along with 15 pretty eyeshadows.

Drugstore Makeup favorites!!

All of my favorite makeup in each category!  

I used ONLY drugstore products in this favorites review.  This is my own opinion on my favorites(:  Enjoy!

1.  face powder:

-Cover girl clean oil control pressed powder/Rimmel stay matte pressed powder.

-Both of these are my favorite when it comes to face powder.  I feel that both of these keep my face matte throughout the  day.  It also helps keep my oil controlled. They both feel really light on the face without it being heavy and cakey.

2.  foundation:

-Maybelline fit me shine free foundation stick.

-This has to be my all time favorite foundation!  I never liked maybelline's fit me foundation but this stick foundation works wonders for me.  I just wish the lasting power was longer but overall this does not break me out.  It stays matte throughout the day since it has mattifying powers.  The feel of this is very light and dries to a powder finish.  It also covers pretty well to my liking.  But if you have alot of acne or scars I suggest using a concealer.

3.  bronzer:

-NYC smooth skin bronzing face powder.

-This bronzer matches my skin great and it is matte.  It contoures my face well without it being orangey for my skin tone.  It is also very blendable and easy to work with.

4.  blush:

-Elf contouring blush&bronzer.

-This elf conpact has both a blush and a bronzer but I really like the blush because it is very natural and not a too heavy blush to work with.  It doesnt have too much glitter particles which makes the finish nice.

5.  eyeshadow:

-Wet n wild coloricon eyeshadows.

-I am in love with wet n wilds eyeshadows.  Their eyeshadows are very pigmented and they last long with an eye primer.  It doesnt matter which of the palettes from wet n wild, but I like all of them!  The colors are vibrant and I think they match up to high end shadows pretty well.

6.  lipgloss:

-Maybelline elixir lipgloss.

-This is the new lipgloss' from maybelline.  Everyone has been raving about them and I am not a lipgloss person.  But, this really caught my attention since the packaging is cute and sleek.  When I tried it the formula is really thick.  But when it sets the texture isnt to heavy and it is not sticky.  The pigmentation is great and it is also waterproof.

7.  lipbalm:

-Walgreens watermelon lipbalm.

-Walgreens made there own dupe of the EOS lipbalms.  I really liked the EOS lipbalms.  However when I came across this lipbalm I really liked it.  I love watermelon and when I tried it, it smelled great and it is really cute!  Just like the EOS lipbalms, the packaging is shaped like a ball and the lipbalm is kind of shaped into a ball too.  

8.  lipstick:

-Maybelline color whisper lipstick.

-The maybelline color whispers lipstick has a sleek container.  The pigmentation is great and it is very hydrating.  It can be worn with a light coverage or a heavy coverage.  

9.  mascara:

-Maybelline the falsies volumizing express waterproof mascara.

-This mascara was one of my very forst mascaras and I still really like this.  It holds and seperates my lashes well.  It is also waterproof so it last quite a while and hard to take off.  There is no fallout for me either.

10.  eyeshadow primer:

-Wet n wild fergie eyeshadow primer.

-I have very oily lids and this primer is awesome!  I usually use too faced insurance and this compares to just as good or even better than that!  I wish i got the neutral primer, but I got the shimmery one.  I dont mind for shimmery things but I still like it since it makes a good highlighting color for your eyelids.  It really brightens up your eye.

11.  face primer:

-Maybelline instant age rewind skin transformer primer.

-I hardly use face primer.  But when I do, I use this primer and it keeps my makeup staying on longer than when I dont use it.  It is easy to blend and it creates a smooth canvas on your face.  It makes your face feeling smooth and soft.  

12.  eyeliner:

-Maybelline eyestudio cream eyeliner/revlon colorstay liquid liner.

-I have 2 favorite eyeliners because sometimes I like to use gel or liquid.  For more eventful or special outings I like to use gel since it has a more bold look.  I use liquid on a day to day basis.  The maybelline gel eyeliner is easy to apply and it doesnt crease on me.  It is very pigmented and the packaging doesnt dry  out the product.  The revlon liquid liner has a felt tip and at first I wasnt use to using this.  But after some practice it got easier.  It last throughout the day and it isnt too bold for an everyday look.

Elf contouring blush and bronzer compact

Elf contouring blush and bronzer in 83601 st.lucia

Price: $3

*elf compact*

This is the elf powdered blush and bronzer compact.  The packaging is very sleek and compact which is great for traveling with.  It looks similar to nars' blush and bronzer compact, which I heard is a dupe for that.  

*open view*

When opened it has a plastic protector to keep the product safe.  It also comes with a mirror which I really like.

*blush (left) and bronzer (right)*

So this compact comes with both the blush (left) and the bronzer (right).  

The blush is a nice light pink which is pigmented and has a few sparkles in it.  It adds a nice flush to the face.

The bronzer really matches my skin and is very similar to the NYC bronzer.  But i feel that this elf bronzer is a more warmer and deeper bronzey color compared to the NYC one.  

*swatches*

*measurement*

This compact is around 3 1/2in. which is great for traveling and on the go.

I highly recommend this product if you love blush and bronzers.  And especially if you want something that is on the go and compact.  This is a inexpensive and great product compared to the NARS blush and bronzer compact(:

Hard candy fox in a box blush in hot flash

Hard candy fox in a box blush in hot flash.

5.6g/0.20oz

Price: $6

*top view*

This is a very affordable blush by hard candy.  The packaging is cute and it has a magnetic closer.  Some people say this is the dupe for the benefit box blush'.  I have not tried those so I wouldnt know but I thought why not try this product out.

*back view*

*blush*

This blush has 4 different shades of pink colors.  It comes with a brush that kind of broke since the brush hairs came out.  Anyways, you are suppose to mix all 4 blush' together.  It comes out to this nice pink color.  This blush is really pigmented so I suggest not to apply to much because you will look like a clown.  However, this blush is very blendable and gives a nice flush of color.

*whole blush and brush*

*swatch*

It has a nice pinky coral color and very few sparkles.

*measurement*

The blush box comes out to be about 2in.  

I would recommend this product for anyone who loves blush and any type of skin type.  I also think any color skin tone can pull this color blush off.
