Too Faced Primed & Preless Pressed Powder Review

Hello Lovelies!

Today I want to review the Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pressed Powder. I have used this powder before in the loose powder version. Although I loved the powder I wasn't sure if I would repurchase it because loose powder is just so inconvenient, it gets very messy if you are not careful. So when Too Faced released the powder in a pressed form I decided to purchase it once I ran out of my old one.

 As described by Too Faced.

"A pressed powder that turns any foundation into high definition makeup. This silky, translucent finishing veil adjusts to any skintone while minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines. The weightless formulation can be worn alone or under and over foundation to prep skin, lock down makeup, and control shine for a complexion smoothing, flawless finish. High-resolution, reflective powder technology transforms skin by visually minimizing pores, fine lines, and imperfections for an airbrushed-looking finish."

Too Faced product will usually come in cute packaging. This one is no exception.

Comes with a sponge

Close up of the powder

Packaging♥♥♥♥♥ I mega like the packaging the big mirror is a plus. Baby pink is my kryptonite, but the case seems very study and not cheap. I prefer this pressed version over the loose one because it contains more product.

Price♥♥♡♡♡ I got it at Sephora for $30. It's certainly a bit expensive, but I'm a huge believer in "you get what you pay for". In the long run I get my money's worth.

Formula♥♥♥♡♡ So this powder only comes in one shade, which is translucent. It can be used as a primer, and as a setting powder. Personally I prefer it as a setting powder because it controls oil very well, sure I get a little shiny during the day, but it's nothing a blotting paper can't fix. Love that it makes my pores look smaller. I don't like it too much as primer because feel like it makes my skin feel a little dry.

L- Without & R-With

Overall♥♥♥♥♡ I do recommend this product for anyone who has normal to dry skin. It might now control oil too well for people who have oily skin. I would repurchase this product. I'm happy because the powder is the exact same as the one in the loose form, and doesn't give my skin that ashy look most translucent powders give.

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer Review

Hey guys!
So sorry for not updating often. I've caught off in other things these past weeks. But today I will do a review on one of my most reached products. I actually I think I use this product at least 5 days of the week.

One of my biggest complains about bronzers is that many of them have this orange tint on them and can make me look muddy. It's a problem most fair skinned people tend to have and many opt for using a darker powder foundation as their bronzer or just not using a bronzer at all. I've always had this problem, until I bought the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Milk Chocolate. It was one of their new releases for the spring. It is a lighter version of the Chocolate Soleil.

It retails at $29 USD. Very expensive in my opinion, but it is definitely worth it for fair skinned people. Contrary to most bronzers this is a pure brown bronzer and it's completely matte.

It is very pigmented, and it so smooth which makes blending so easy.The best of all is that it really smells and tastes like chocolate. It is not edible, but I happened to tasted when I was removing the excess form the brush some of it got into my mouth.

Just to show you how it looks on my skin. Below is a picture before and after contouring my nose with the Too Faced Milk Milk Chocolate Bronzer. I love how natural the shadows look. 

This has been the most natural looking bronzer that I've ever tried. I would recommend to splurge on this product only if you have fair skin. If you have a darker skin tone I would skip on this one because there is probably something cheaper out there that could work for you.

Hauls and More Hauls

Hey guys!
So, I'm officially on summer break now. Which means I will have more time to blog, and do videos. Which makes me happy. College is so stressful, now that I'm in upper division classes have been getting so difficult and time consuming.  So here is this post summarizing most of the things I've bought recently. Here is an unrelevant photo. It is not recent, as you can see I was still in my old room.

Ok getting into the haul
H&M Lace romper.

This was pricey $35, but I had been looking for a pair or lace short for a very long time. So when I saw this romper I thought it was perfect, the only problem was that there were only 3 left in the store and the smallest size available was an 8. I'm usually a 4 or 6. So I just decided to try it on for just in case, and it fits so well!

SHINee and Girls' Generation Light sticks.

Because I'm going to SMTOWN in next week and I need to cheer lol. I bought these at kpoptown.com for around $8 USD each.

New Kpop Albums

I bought SHINee "Sherlock", Girl's Generation "The Boys" and "Run Devil Run". I got this at yesasia.com, with free shipping!

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Milk Chocolate

I would not usually pay $29 USD for a powder, but I had been looking for so long for a good bronzer. The problem with most bronzer is that they are orange, and I'm not trying to look like Snooki, and most of the times are too dark for my skintone, and I end up looking muddy and dirty, and this is perfect, it is a warm brown. It's a plus that it smells delicious!

T-strap Pink Shoes

I had seen this shoes at yesstyle a while back and wanted to buy them but they were sold out in my size. Shiro wrote an entry about buying this shoes and she was so nice to send me the ebay link where she got them from. I love these shoes, the heel is so tiny you can walk on these all day. They are comfortable too.

Ivory Wedges.

I got these at Kmart for only $25 USD!

Bow Suspender Tights

I got these at Asos for $14 and free shipping. I love the customer service, no other store is as fast as Asos, I received my order in 4 days! The bad thing about this is that they are "one size" so girls that are a little bit bigger might not fit in these.

Aquolina Pink sugar

I got this because it is my favorite perfume, and I'm running out of mine and had a 20% off coupon for Sephora.

Skin79 Vital  BB Cream (Orange Label) & Etude House Shini Star Lip balm in #5 Taemin

I bought these two at costimetic.love on ebay for aroung $22 USD. I wanted to try the Orange BB cream because it has higher spf than the Gold Label and Pink Label, and the Shini Star lip balm, well I'm just a fangirl, and anything that is advertised by SHINee I buy it! I got  Taemin's color because it was the one that appealed to me the most. Plus it has an autograph at the bottom of the pot!

New skincare products from Mexican Avon and Fuller.

I was able to get these because one of my coworker's son is married to a lady that sells Avon and Fuller from Mexico. It's all super mad cheap! I got the Avon Rejuvenate Night Sapphire Emulsion (this is the only product that is available in America), Avon Rejuvenate Glycolic Facial Treatment, Avon Solutions Hydra Illuminating Night Cream and Fuller Biowhite Clarifying hand cream. All of these for less than $30 USD.

So I think that's it!
If you want a review on something please let me know.
