TOO FACED "NATURAL EYE"

 Im not a big "eye makeup fan" but I have heard a lot of rammblin' about this set so I decided to pick it up and see what all the deal was about. 
 The product comes in a magnetized box that once you open , the product is exposed , there 9 rows and 3 "looks".  On the top portion of the lid theres a compartment that hides 3 "step by step " makeup looks
 The looks that you achieve with this palette are " DAY ", " CLASSIC ", " FASHION ", the instructions are pretty easy to follow since each eye shadow is labeled, and they walk you rite tru the eye "look" you desire.
 They also include a basic sponge/flat brush, I honestly did not use either, I find it hard to put eyeshadow on with a sponge. You dont need pro brushes either, a basic set would do or if you like the "sponge" technique then they got you all set.
 These are my FAV. color combo "DAY" from top-bottom ( cream , super soft beige-brown, mocha ) they are kinda-matte and have almost no shimmer Im not a fan of shimmery eye shadows just for the fact that I feel that if you pack on too many shimmery they will overpower the rest or it will look like you have a lightbulb in your lids lol.
 Now here is were they start to get shimmery but not to overwhelming "CLASSIC", from top-bottom ( shimmery creamy pink, ,bronze with gold reflections , mocha with very very subtle silver shimmer almost not noticeable )
This look is"FASHION" and if by "fashion" they mean shimmer oh yeah its fashion lol ! , for me these combo has a lot of shimmer in the 1st 2 to the last will end up with shimmers as well.
Top-bottom ( Shimmery pink with silver-gold reflects, gold-bronze with silver reflects, deep brown with very subtle silver-gold reflects ) I feel this look will stand out too much in front of a camera flash and we dont want to blind the camera with your eye shadow rite.

Overall is a nice product I dont regret buying it but I wont repurchase just for the fact that I feel I will not use the last colors and I payed for 3 colors Im not going to use. Maybe I will use the deep brown but not the other 2 pink bronze shimmery ones, it was not a "bad buy" because the pigmentation is pretty good and they work  amazing with a brush so you do get quality and the presentation on it is pretty nice-clean, for traveling it is bulky but other than that its a really nice product overall.

TOO FACED "FLATBUKI" & "PINK LEOPARD"

So yesterday I was near one of my "walmart's" as I like to call " ULTA " and " SEPHORA " , ok so back to the review , I was near Ulta and I decided to go and peak in , IDK maybe something "new" would be there awaiting for me , and I get near the entrance I see the 21 Days of Beauty or Beauty Days. Which basically consists of 21 days dedicated to certain brands and they have what they call "beauty steals" which are discounts on full size products and let me you THEY HAVE SOME GR8 DEALS , so be sure to check out your nearest ULTA if you have a chance. So I was running out of my Tarte bronzer which BTW I really loved and SUPER recommend , so I decided to try a new one just for the fun of it. I see towards the register they have the "travel sizes" so I reach out just to check out if they had any travel size bronzers so I could try some. The one that really got my attention was TOO FACED PINK LEOPARD , pink packaging super cute little square so I got some other goodies that I "needed" and walk to the register to make my way out. When I was about to pay the girl was like oh since you made a TOO FACED purchase you get a freebe I was OMG cool , the she trows in the bag a little pink box I was oh cool. I was sossoososo curious to see what was in the bag that I reached out and opened the rectangular sorta box, and OMG I see a "flatbuki" a small super adorable flatbuki its really really adorable. I then opened the PInk Leopard and was so happy because it has a cheetah print to it in pink and bronze and cooper colors and omg I looked just adorable.

The product itself was $15 for 2.5g/ 0.08Oz I thought it was kinda pricy but oh well it was pink , I actually liked to product better to look at it , than an actual bronzer just for the fact that it had one to many shimmery thingies for my like. It is a really nice finish though DONT get me wrong , its not cheap , or else its just that I prefer my bronzers and blushes with juust the tiniest bit of shimmer and with this one I felt like Edward Cullen.

Its a really nice product amazing "eye-candy" as I like to call super adorable cute stuff, the quality is deff. pretty nice and it glides on your skin perfectly , the flatbuki its actually a very good bronzer brush or conturing. Juts for the fact that it has flat-kinda sides to it.

Packaging: A+
Looks: A+
Quality: A+
Will Recommend: DEFF.
Will Re-purchase: PROB. NOT just because I dont enjoy shimmer to much, but if had the choice to NOT but I would DEFF. STILL DO.
