Holy Grail Beautyy . . .

This is a look I made yesterday and posted on Instagram.  The products I used were:

• Rimmellondon Hazel Professional Eyebrow Pencil
• Lorac Pro Palette Two
• Colour Theory Queen of Green eyeshadow palette 
• Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Primer
• Ardell Demi Wispies False Lashes

The Colour Theory palette is awesome for shimmer shadows with no glitter in them, you get five shadows four being shimmers of varying colours in the chosen colour and one matte shade in the middle.

I had been thinking of buying this eye shadow primer for a little while since Too Faced became available in local shops in (Perth, Western Australia) and when I received a sample of it from a beauty product loyalty program I was very eager to try it out.

I don't have too much to say on this primer other than it is extremely good! No creasing, colour does not fade basically it comes off when you are ready to take it off. 

It is a nude beige colour in a squeeze tube and the packaging is cute.  The product itself is easy to use, I applied it to a synthetic concealer brush and applied it to my eyes.  The product has a smooth, slightly thick consistency which applies easily and evenly.  I then applied a similarly coloured eyeshadow as the final base layer currently from Smashbox Light Theory palette. This then provides the perfect canvas to start creating your beautiful eye looks.  There is no smell to this product either.

Definitely recommend this product, no hesitation.  I will be buying a full size ASAP!

• Went on the skin so well
• Easy to create full coverage
• Easy to blend
• Hid pores

What I did not love

• A cakey look was always imminent especially on the nasal folds
• Started to wear away from the perimeters on my face after the first hour

Overall I think I would buy this product to use as a evening out to dinner or some social event type foundation.  I would have to be very light in how much product to use due to the cakey factor.

I think this foundation is all up to personal preference.  The main thing I did not like was the colour chosen for me.
I recommend asking for a sample of the product and try for yourself before committing to buying it, it may turn out to be your Holy Grail! I intend to go back and ask for a sample of Porcelain and also to for some reason Perth only have four shades that are stocked?????

I fell in love with the packaging Too Faced cosmetics created for the Melted lipstick line! They also smell so yummy! Every time I reach for this in my travel bag in my handbag its as wonderful as ever!


There is 18 shades to choose from and now there is also the Melted Metals collection and The Melted Chocolates collection.

I swatched this on my hand before I bought it, and the colour is gorgeous.  I found the product to not dry my lips out at all.  The colour intensity will depend of course on your own lip colour,  I have only realised now that my lips are quite pigmented and it came off lighter than I expected.  The image of the lips is very true for me.  This is also meant to be a long wearing formula but it is not sadly.  It is not matte but more of a creme matte.  Possibly why it is not so drying!

Its a bit expensive to buy for what it is, I do love this colour though but I will not be re-purchasing again.  BUT, if I can find the right brown that I am forever looking for in the chocolates collection then I will purchase that!
