FOTN: Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette

Hey everyone! I wasn't going to post this at first (I didn't even take pictures), but after we got back home I decided I really liked how everything turned out! The weekends are the only time I really get to take my time to do my makeup. Since I work (more like live) at a mill 6-7 days a week, I don't really do my makeup much. So you best believe I get uber excited when the weekend comes!

I did use quite a bit of products for this look. I feel like I've been using the same things over and over and neglecting everything else I have. There were also some new products I haven't tried yet, so I took the opportunity to test them out!

The lighting wasn't very consistent, so I added these two for you too see how the outcome looks in different lighting. Plus I was loving my new comfy sweater my bf bought me earlier(;

Prime and Conceal

⚫ Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Pimer.

⚫ Maybelline BabySkin Insta Pore Eraser.

⚫ L'Oreal True Match Super-blendable Concealer.

⚫ E.l.f High Definition Under Eye Setting Powder.

Once I toned and moisturized, I used Maybelline's BabySkin to prime my t-zone to blur any visible pores. This was the fist time using this product, expect a review (and possibly a comparison)!

I used my favorite Rimmer primer around the rest of my face. Then, I used my favorite concealer to hide any blemishes I may have and under my eyes to help brighten up my dark circles. And lastly, another product I hadn't yet used was the E.l.f HD Undereye Setting Powder to set the concealer. Though, I didn't just set my undereyes, I used it everywhere I used the concealer (i.e cheeks, chin, around the forhead).

Foundation and Illuminate

⚫ Nyx Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator.

⚫ Revlon Colorstay 24Hr Makeup.

I didn't do anything special with these, I just mixed them on the back of my hand with a brush and applied as usual. 

⚫ E.l.f Blush Palette in Dark.

⚫ E.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream.

I used the bronzing cream to contour, and the blush on the apples of my cheecks. From the E.l.f Blush Palette I used the top left peachy color right over the cream blush very lightly to set it. 

Eyes

⚫ Too Faced Chocolate Bar.

⚫ E.l.f Liquid Eyeliner in Coffee.

⚫ Revlon Photoready Eye Primer + Brightener.

⚫ L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Excess.

Top Row:

⚫ I used the 1st Star (White Chocolate) all over my lid, up to my brow bone.

⚫ I used the 2nd Star (Milk Chocolate) in my crease.

⚫ (Very last step) I used the 3rd Star (Triple Fudge) in my outer crease to add definition.

Middle Row:

⚫ I used the 1st Star (Salted Caramel) all over my lid, and with a blending brush lightly blended it with my crease to rid any harsh lines.

Bottom Row:

⚫ I used the 1st Star (Hazelnut) in my outer crease and blended it out.

⚫ I used the 2nd Star (Champagne Truffle) in the inner corners of my eyes to help brighten them a bit. Again blending everything together to rid andy harsh lines. 

That was my look for tonight! I hope you all enjoyed and thank you for reading!

Have you tried any of the new products I mentioned?

If so, let me know your opinions down bow!(:

FOTN: Featuring Maybelline's The NUDES Palette

So I was going to wait till tomorrow to try out the new Maybelline palette, but I was too anxious I couldn't wait. 

First, let me apologize for the horrible quality of these pictures. Unfortunately, my phone finally had enough, and was forced to buy a cheap one until I can afford the one I really want. (No, I do not own a camera).

But anywho, this is the look I came up. And I have to say, I was really happy with this palette. Now I can't wait to find Maybelline's other new palettes, The SMOKES and The BRIGHTS. Have any of you seen or tried them yet?!

This is everything I used to create this look.

For the face:

⚫ Rimmel's Stay Matte Primer.

⚫ L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Healthy Makeup.

⚫ L'Oreal True Match Super-blendable Concealer.

(to conceal and highlight).

⚫ Covergirl Tru Blend Pressed Powder in Translucent Honey

(to contour).

⚫ Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Light Nude.

For the lips:

⚫ Nyx Butter gloss in Creme Brulee.

⚫ Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Violet Frenzy.

First I coated my lips with Revlon's Violet Frenzy. I let it sit fot a few minutes before wiping it off to leave a stain behind. Then I topped it off with the Creme Brulee Butter gloss.

For the eyes:

⚫ Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara.

⚫ E.l.f Eyelid Primer in Pearl.

⚫ E.l.f Eyebrow kit.

⚫ Curling wand.

⚫ Maybelline's The NUDES Palette.

Even though the Maybelline's NUDE Palette comes with pre-set looks with directions on the back on the packaging, I decided to be creative and do my own look. Well, this is what I came up with! 

Top Row:

⚫ The 1st X I used all over my lid, up to the brow bone as the transition color.

⚫ The 2nd X I used all over my lid.

⚫ The 3rd X I used in my crease and blended it out.

Bottom Row:

⚫ The 1st X I used in the inner corners of my eyes.

⚫ The 2nd X I used in my outer crease and blended it out. I also used this to line my bottom lashline.

⚫ The 3rd X I used also in my outer crease and blended out to add definition.

Like I had said before, I don't wear eyeshadow much, so I am an amateur in training! But I hope you all enjoyed this post and liked the overall look. Have a fun and safe holiday weekend everyone!

Have you tried The NUDES Palette yet?
