Two Things From Too Faced



For years of being a beauty junkie, I have always heard of the brand Too Faced. It is currently being known for its incredibly cute packaging and having a range of amazing quality beauty products to go with it. People have been raving on Too Faced products left and right that it could get overwhelming to choose which one to get first. I have to admit that the packaging of each product made me want to get every single one because other than me using it on my face, it would work so well as a vanity decoration (they are seriously so cute!).

Since there isn't any physical stores near my place, I browsed through Sephora PH and read about people's experience with each product to help me decide which one I should get and try out. Took me a little while but I decided to get 2 things from there.







It does smell like chocolate! When I first heard about this product smelling like chocolate, I was a bit skeptical because how could a product actually smell like that? Not gonna lie, I found myself popping this open whenever I see it just to get a whiff of the chocolate scent (Shh!). I do like that they finally included the name of each of the shades on the actual palette rather than having to keep the paper where you'd have to place it back on the palette to figure out each shade's name. It seriously bothered so much people that I'm glad they listened to their customer's requests.

For the actual product, the shades are all neutral which is quite easy to pair up with almost any look that you're going for. The colors are a mix of warm and cool tones, each one looking good with the other that you'll most likely be using every single shade. The pigmentation is good since you won't have to worry on going too overboard when you try to build up the color.



Some personal favorite shades of mine would be "Salted Caramel" because it looks so peachy that it almost looks natural whenever I apply it on my eye lid. "Triple Fudge" looks amazing when I smudge it on my eyeliner on the top and bottom because it makes it look softer around my eyes. I like to add "Marzipan" right in the middle all the time because it makes my eyes look bigger and more awake.









Too Faced Sweethearts Bronzer
PHP 1,618




This bronzer is both a shimmery cool bronzer and a shimmery warm bronzer. You could use either one but mixing them both on your brush really does create that very natural looking flush to your skin which makes it look radiant. I like how this looks subtle on the skin that when someone looks at you, they realize that you did something to your look but can't pinpoint what because of how glowing it makes your face look. The only shade that they do have at the moment is Sweet Tea which I think is the perfect shade for fair skinned people like me.

Unlike the Too Faced Chocolate Bar, this doesn't really have a scent to it other than what I feel how bronzers usually smell like. The packaging is a teal colored heart which I am so obsessed with since it gives my vanity that extra touch of decoration,  although I do feel like it is kinda too bulky for traveling purposes.  The longevity isn't really a problem for me which impressed me considering I live in such a humid place where makeup could practically melt off of your face at any minute. It stayed in tact without me having to retouch it.

Maybelline Color Show Lipstick in 401 Sweet Orchid Review



I just recently found Maybelline's Color show Lipsticks and I honestly didn't know they had these or I just walked passed it everytime. I noticed that all their colors are pretty vibrant and what I would not always wanna wear but I wanted to try it so I got this which is Sweet orchid.




Price: P165 (3.52 USD) from Watsons

What do I think about it?
First thing would have to be the packaging. Very simple and sleek and gives the professional looking type of casing. The scent is kinda strong but once it's on your lips, you won't even notice it anymore. It has a creamy texture that is good for those who has dry lips since it also doesn't crack but not really the feel for those who doesn't like to be aware that they're wearing a lipstick since it feels the same thing as when you're wearing a lip balm. The color is buildable and it doesn't bleed. It does transfer especially when you eat and drink but still leaves some color on your lips. 


No filter. Indoor shot.

Is it worth the money?
Yes it is. If you are on a budget and want to try out huge ranges of colors, then this would be a good way to go. It does kinda remind me of those lipsticks that are used by makeup artists for when you're doing a shoot or a party. 





Hope you found this review useful and comment below for any more further questions, suggestions and requests and subscribe for more updates on my personal take on beauty and things in between one post at a time.

Haul! Halloween, Beauty, Art Related Products.



Me and my brother went to SM Megamall last Friday and we got stuff for Halloween and other random things. I don't know, I'm really a sucker for Halloween, I just love it! Eventhough I'm pretty much a wimp and scared of ghosts. Anyway, here are the things that I got, First the halloween stuff:



Cat Ears with gems headband from H&M P399 ($8.73 USD). I do wanna dress up for Halloween but I decided it to be a little bit low key so I just got these cat ears to be really simple but cute at the same time.



Chromastix Hair Chalk (with applicator) P149 ($3.26 USD) and Chromastix Hair Chalk Intense P99 ($2.17 USD). Like I said, I actually wanted to go abit lowkey on the Halloween Costume so I just decided to put different colors on my hair. Looks really simple and looks like I've made an effort.



Face & Body Crayons from National Bookstore P36.50 ($0.80 USD). I have an idea on how I wanted to dress up my brother as for Halloween so I got this to put face paint on him for that day. I remember getting this for a school fair back in high school and it worked perfectly so hopefully this'll be enough.



lol (Lots Of Love) Eyeshadow in 01 Black Betty from SM Department Store P139 ($3.04 USD) I am contemplating if I wanted to go for a bit of a dark or metallic look for Halloween so I got this palette since I don't have any of these colors in my vanity and would be able to experiment on which one I would like because it has both of the colors that  I imagined that I want to use.



Nichido Tru Lashes Eyelash Adhesive from SM Department Store P60 ($1.31 USD). If you read a previous haul of mine, you'd know that I do not have any eyelash adhesive so I got this one to dress up my eyes and finally get to use my fake eyelashes.



Sweet Cherry Nail Polish in Magic Black from SM Department Store P17.75 ($0.39 USD). I have an idea of a nail art that I wanted to do for Halloween and when I checked my stash I noticed that I was out of black nail polish so I got this and hope that it works well.

For other non-halloween related beauty or fashion products...



Tights 2 Pack from H&M. The original price was P499 ($10.92 USD) but it went on sale for P150 ($3.28 USD). I don't own any tights or stockings and when I saw this, I decided to get it because I don't know when I might need them so it's nice to have some in my closet.



Color My Brows from Etude House in #6 P498 ($10.90 USD). If you have been reading around  my blog posts related to beauty for awhile now, you would know that I really love this product and I kept repurchasing this over and over. I only now noticed that they have a bigger version of what I used to buy but the numbers are different. I used to always get the #2 and that is #6 on the bigger sized ones. I used up all of my small ones so I got this and hopefully it'll last me a lot longer.



Minimal Shirt from Forever 21 P445 ($9.74 USD). I am all about that comfy t-shirt life so I got this one that says Minimal on it. Pretty simple and cute, a good shirt to throw in for everyday or when you're doing errands.

For non-beauty related stuff that I got...



A plain lined notebook from National Bookstore P99 ($2.17 USD). I actually needed a new notebook to write some stuff on since I used all of my usual ones up and my phone is working overtime from taking notes so I got this really light and plain one that I could decorate when I feel like it.



Best Buy Fine tip brushes from National Bookstore P194 ($4.25 USD). I have picked up a new hobby which is caligraphy / lettering or just painting in general. So I got these little brushes to practice on.



Best Buy's 12 Brush from National Bookstore P32 ($0.70 USD). I don't any kind of brush like this since I just got some flat tip ones and I've been wanting to design something that would involve me using something like this so yeap, picked that up and hope that it would be really useful.

So I guess that's it for this haul and hope that you find this somehow helpful if you are trying to find some products or stuff like these and where to get them or how much were they. If you have any more questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to leave a comment down below and I'll be sure to reply to them as soon as I see them.
