Too Faced: Romantic Eye Kit (review and swatches)

I'm  SO sorry for the lack of blog posts, but I've just been so busy with Christmas and New Years, but I have a whole list of products that I want to review:)

Anyways, on with the review.. I've had this palette for quite sometime and have kept meaning to review it but just kept on forgetting hehe;) Its a really nice palette and its set out the same as the natural eye palette (which I reviewed a while back) except its much slimmer and less bulky, mainly due to the fact that it doesn't have that little pull-out draw. However, it still has 9 shades, 4 of which are shimmer, and the remaining 5 are matte. This retails at £26, and I purchased mine from Boots. 

Same kind of lay out as the Natural eye, except this one is pretty and pink hehe

Un-Veil, First Dance and Ever After all seem to look very similar  but in the
swatches you'll see they look quite different...

Still got the little guide cards

 Soulmates- a shimmery white shade, that when caught in the light appears to be quite pinky.

I Do- a matte grey, with a purple tint.

Un-Veil- a very deep matte chocolate brown.

Kiss the Bride- a sheer matte pink.

Cut the Cake- a frosty lilac shimmer.

First Dance- a deep matte purple.

Bouquet Toss- a very pale, sheer green.

Honeymoon- a very pigmented, shimmery yellow-green.

Ever After- a quite glittery copper brown.

Although I do love this palette, I find that it isn't the most wearable for everyday. I find myself reaching for other (more neutral) palettes, even though this one is so pretty. However, I think I may try to use this more and maybe I'll even try to come up with some new looks using this palette and blog about them, let me know what you think!

Sleek: Idivine Eyeshadow Palette in Storm (review and swatches)

 About 2 years ago I purchased one of these palettes from sleek (I had bought the "original" palettes) so when I noticed saw the "storm" palette, I decided to buy it! It has 12 eye shadows, 3 are matte and the rest are satin shimmer, the top row of colours are light and more neutral that are good for everyday eye looks- the bottom row has darker, deeper colours which are perfect for smoky eyes that are more dramatic. The shadows are really soft and blendable! I love some of these colours, the jade green satin colour is gorgeous! The only colour I don't like is the matte black colour, it doesn't show up at all, as you can see in the swatches its a terrible colour. No matter how hard I press my brush in the black colour, but I still don't seem to get any colour. It comes with a sponge tip applicator as well. This palette is great for the price and I recommend to anyone!

Very, sleek packaging!;)

Neutral on top, more dramatic on the bottom!

Daylight.

Sunlight. 

Daylight again.

Too Faced: Natural Eye Shadow Kit (review and swatches)

This is a kit of 9 shadows, each very soft in texture but still very pigmented. This kit is very popular, and I've hardly ever heard someone complain about it. It also contains 3 cards showing you how to create each look as well as a little pull-out drawer which holds a double ended applicator, one end a sponge, the other a slanted eyeliner brush. This kit has 6 shimmer eye shadows, and 3 matte eye shadows. They're each divided into different looks that you can create: "day", "classic" and "fashion". I think Too Faced have made a really good job of making it so simple to re-create a natural eye shadow look. I use these with Too Faced shadow insurance, and they stay on from morning til night when I remove my makeup. The colour "sexpresso" could also be used as eyebrow shadow if you have darker eyebrows. I do really like these shadows, and plan to buy more of Too Faced shadow box/kits! :)

Personally, I love the packaging, I've never really seen a box like this before, however some people think its too bulky.

It opens with a tab, and closes shut tightly magnetically. 

These are the help cards, these are good if you're starting out with eye shadows and don't really know what to put where, but after a while I think most people stop using the cards.

Just some close ups of the colours, as you can see, very neutral!

I love all these colours, but I must say, heaven is extremely sheer, and doesn't really show up (as you can see in the swatches). There is only one colour however, that I really don't like, and its "nude beach", Its so glittery and the glitter is very chunky I think other people would probably like it but I think maybe its just not for me! 

Sorry the swatches aren't very good..

Heaven- Sheer matte creamy white colour.
Velvet Revolver- Matte milky coffee base colour.
Sexpresso- Deep matte chocolate brown.
Silk Teddy- Shimmery, cream coloured iridescent pink.
Push up- Shimmery brown, slightly coppery.
Erotica- Deep ashy brown with golden shimmer.
Nude Beach- Very light pink coloured glittery shimmer.
Honeypot- Rich golden shimmer shadow.
Cocoa puff- Deep red brown, with golden shimmer.


I defiantly recommend this kit if you like shimmery neutral shadows!
