Too Faced Series - Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection

This is the second installment of my Too Faced Series. The Natural Eye palette is also full of nudes. The difference between this and the Naked Eye palette is that these colors are much more saturated and some are darker.

Swatches

swatched over bare skin

 

 Top - (Day) Heaven, Velvet Revolver, Sexpresso

Middle -  (Classic) Silk Teddy, Push-Up, Erotica

Bottom - (Fashion) Nude Beach, Honey Pot, Cocoa Puff

This palette has a lot of warm shimmery and glittery shadows. I really love the richness in the colors. I also feel like you would wear any of these shadows combined and always look classy and elegant. I honestly forgot how pretty some of these shadows are. Looking at Erotica in the pan, it doesnt look like much, but swatched here, I think I will start using it more!

 What do you think of this palette? Do you like the colors in this one? Do you own this palette?

Do you think there is such as thing as too many nude-ish palette?

Too Faced Series: Naked Eye Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection

Today is a start of a series of Too Faced palettes. I do not have the three newest ones yet, and may only pick up one, if any. I am starting to run out of room in my apartment! I want to share with you the first palette I ever bought from Two Faced. I was on a serious neutral kick, and I had no idea what I was doing with makeup at all. Enter a foolproof palette for beginners: The Naked Eye!

Swatches

Top -(Day) In The Buff, Pillow Talk, Like A Virgin

Middle - (Classic) Birthday Suit, Satin Sheets, Unmentionables

Bottom - (Fashion) Pink Cheeks, Lap Dance, Stiletto

What is so great about this palette is the versatility as well as ease of use. The shadows are easy to blend and rather pigmented. This makes is easy for someone just learning how to use eyeshadows effectively. Not only are the shadows wonderful, but it comes with three cards that show you simple looks and gives you step by step instructions on how to create the look. Once you are comfortable with these techniques, and shadows, you will probably feel comfortable to mix and match within the palette. Every single color in this palette goes with every other color. It makes for a no brainer, beautiful, fuss-free look. This is also great to travel with as you can do many different looks for many different occasions. The only complaint I have about Too Faced is some of that shadows have very chunky glitter that irritates my eye.

What do you think of this palette? Do you like Too Faced? What was your first product from them?

Do you use the cards enclosed? Or make up your own look?

Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Palette Swatches

Today I just wanted to share with you a quick post. I have for you, swatches of the Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Palette. I bought this when I was on a neutral and pink shadow kick. Let's take a look.

Top - Ivory, Pink Flannel

Bottom - Pink Chiffon, Chocolate Caviar

Pretty Pink

Top to Bottom - Soiree Pink, Bubble Bath, Sandwash Pink

Swatched

swatched over bare skin - no primer

Top - Ivory, Pink Flannel, Pink Chiffon, Chocolate Caviar

Bottom - Pretty Pink, Soiree Pink, Bubble Bath, Sandwash Pink

This palette comes with four eyeshadows, a blush and three lip glosses. I had to admit this, but I have not used this palette yet. I was so excited about it when I purchased it, but now it just sits in a pile on my dresser with a few other palette, some of which I use often, some of which I would like to use but just don't reach for. The shadows are beautiful and swatched well. The blush seems like a nice color that a lot of people could wear, and the glosses don't seem that spectacular, but the don't seem horrible either. I think the issue I have with the gloss, is that I do not want to just stick my finger in them to apply, for some reason I feel the need to use a brush, and that is just too much work for a plain old gloss to me.

What do you think of this palette? Do you have any products you were so excited

about, that you like, that just don't get any love?

ELF Holiday Studio Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette - Warm - Swatches

I just wanted to share some quick swatches of this palette in case anyone was interested in buying it. I got this during my Target haul a while ago. There are 32 shadows in this collection. All of these shadows were pigmented well and were easy to work with. This would be a great present for someone just starting to get into make up and looking for a bunch of neutral colors to work with. This is also a great gift for someone who works and needs a more conservative look for the office.

I actually bought Queen Phyllis, True Gold and Pussycat when I went to Bare Escentuals for a make under. I said I wanted some neutral colors that I could wear every single day. This is when I started getting interested in makeup again after high school and I just wanted something that I knew would work and I couldn't mess up when I try to do it at home the next day. I think anyone looking for some good shimmery neutral colors might like these. I bought Tenderheart when I picked up the Customizable Get Started Kit (Foundation, Mineral Veil, All-Over Face Color, etc). I loved the cocoa brown with purple glitter in it. Just a little something to make a neural everyday eye really POP! Thank you I received free when I purchased the READY 8.0 palette during a customer appreciation event a few weeks ago. I have not used this color yet, but it is a very pretty color.

Pumped is cocoa brown with gold glitter. Chart Topper is shimmery light gold. Max Volume is blackened navy sheen. Louder is copper. One Hit Wonder is butter cream sheen. Most Requested is cranberry with red or gold glitter. Remix is shimmery yellow gold. Speaker Box is dark grey with gold glitter.

These shadows are very silky and smooth. Similar to the Top Shelf duo just lightly swatching them a little goes a long way and the color pay off is great.
