Too Faced Natural Palette

Too Faced Natural Palette

Too Faced Natural  Palette

My Too Faced Natural Palette is my ultimate basic in my own makeup bag. I have one for my kit and one for my own use cause I just can live or work without it. This palette can take me to a day to evening look with a stroke of a brush.
When I teach workshops this is the palette I use and recommend as one of the best in the market.

Why this palette?

The Too Faced Natural Palette has a clever selection of neutral colors. Too Faced hands down have the colors schemes right. They even have it written on the side to help you Day, Classic and Fashion. They also have a handy little instruction manual for you to follow to get the look you desire.

What are the benefits ?

The shadows have excellent pigmentation and staying power. They are creamy and beautifully blendable. If you want a more intense look or some extra staying power their Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer is a fantastic addition to this palette.

The colors have been very carefully selected to enhance any eyecolor in a natural way.

Step-by-Step Instructions; Three easy to follow “how-to” cards teach you different looks for different occasions.

The packaging is beautifully designed in a little tin box. Its a great travel size to pop in your handbag to take you from morning to an evening look.

Too Faced is a Cruelty Free Brand, that’s always a thumbs up from me.

What else I love about this palette?

I can’t go past without telling something cheeky about this palette. Its the names of the colors. Its funny how excited my clients get when they read the names of the colors I am about to apply to them, like Sexspresso & Chocolate Martini. There is something cute a quirky about wanting to try out not just the colors but their name tags.

Smashbox BB Cream

Smashbox BB Cream

Smashbox BB Cream

I came across Smashbox BB Cream as sample I was given in a Makeup Store. I had never really tried a BB Cream before so I was intrigued to give it a go. First of all I was interested in what BB stood for. Some markets call it a Blemish Balm and some call it a Beauty Balm. BB Cream has both the perfection power of a foundation and the moisturizing power of a skincare product. On top of that, it also provides a sunblock. So I had to give this little tube of goodness a go.

The outcome of Smashbox BB Cream

Well I wasn’t disappointed. My skin had that lovely Natural Look which I love and felt very hydrated and moisturized. It has a soft creamy texture on the skin so you don’t feel like your wearing makeup. Because it is so light it wasn’t sitting in the lines and wrinkles and making me look older.

I was so happy with the sample I went back to the store to buy a full sized product. Its a little on the expensive side but the benefits far out way the higher price. Its now my go to product for a natural lovely daytime look. When I am changing it up for an evening look I simply apply a small bit of foundation over the top as I still want the benefits form my BB Cream.
