[Tried & Tested] Melt Hearts With The All New Too Faced Love Palette

Hi Huneybees,

“Every great love starts with a great story...You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.” -  Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook 

I'm getting super psyched as September draws nearer and nearer, not only does it mean it's time for my birthday celebration, it's also time for Autumn. To me, Autumn equals time for a slightly heavier hand on makeup, I can start using my darker shades of eye colour and lipsticks. YAY!!!!

So, following my previous posts on the new Too Faced products, here's another to fall in love with - The Love Palette. 15 silky eyeshadow shades in shimmer, pearl and matte finishes,  passionately made for you to create your very own Fall/Winter love story with endless eye look combinations.

Utilizing a new formula - Slurry Powder Technology, these shades are a hybrid between cream and powder, which applies smooth and creamy with a hint of frost for some of the shades. Looking up the dictionary, "slurry" is pretty much a term used during construction, being the thin liquid mixture that has finer particles of powder giving the appearance and texture of a creamier, thicker consistency. It's pretty uncanny for Too Faced to be using this term for beauty products, but hey, it does work for this instance, coz this is what the eyeshadows felt like!

Though I'm infatuated with the shimmery shades, the matte shades were a little disappointing as they seem to be of drier consistency and apply on a little patchy. They certainly require the help of a eyeshadow primer or base.

I had to go around the sides to pick up the shades for fear of destroying those embossed little hearts, they send my heart skipping a beat everytime I "dig" my brush in. Splitting the palette into 3 shade groups, they are paired with illustrations that suggested with the 3 day to night looks - Pure Love, True Love and Forbidden Love. These look cards are hidden behind the mirror and serve as great "reminders" when you bring the palette out on your trips.

In the palette, you can also find a full size Too Faced Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Perfect Black. It has a matching packaging design like the palette and this pencil is the perfect finish for your eye looks, with its creamy and easy glide-on formula. You can get the perfect wing tip eyeliner within seconds and with the smudge tip on the other end, it is easy to smudge it out for smoky eyes. Its really long lasting and work well for those tight lining of the waterline too!

OK, back into the eyeshadow swatching. I bet the top favourite would be the au naturel nude shades from the Pure Love section, but my favourite for those electrifying come hither look, has got to be the True Love section with sweet pink and plum shades to make the magic work. The Forbidden Love section with its green hues might make things get a little steamy and mysterious, but green don't really work for my skin tone, I tend to look a little too matured, so I kinds steer clear of it...

Pure Love

From Left to Right: Cherish, Dearest, Adore, Desire, Amorous

True Love

From Left to Right: Smitten, Passion, Sweetie Pie, Romance, Obsessed

Forbidden Love

From Left to Right: Devotion, XOXO, Darling, Puppy Love, Everlasting

So, which are your favourite shades? I'm doing up a few tutorials using these new Too Faced products and tell me what would you love me to see ya? Do share your thoughts...

The Too Faced Love Palette will be made available in the Sephora stores in Singapore soon, but if you can't wait anymore, you can head on over to the Too Faced website and start purchasing them now! :)

[What's New] Come Into The Magic Shop For Beauty Tricks...

Hi Huneybees,

I recently dropped by TW Magic Shop, located in Far East Plaza. Those of you who frequents Taiwan would be very familiar with the brand. 

It has been mentioned in tons of magazines, newspapers and shows like Apply Daily, Nu Ren Wo Zui Da (highly recommended by Taiwanese beauty maestro - Kevin Chou), Teenage magazine and U magazine! It stands firm in Taiwan’s skincare industry since 2006 and their products have been working like MAGIC!

Once you step into the shop, you are already greeted by hundreds of nail polishes and lots of pink stuffs, but let me show you their BEST SELLERS!

The WaterProof Eyeliner is very intense. Just one swipe, you can get a solid black eyeline. Moreover, with water and rubbing, it doesn't get removed! It only works when you use a makeup remover and the 2-In-1 Makeup Remover shown below is their shop's best. Just shake and blend the contents, the toughest makeup can easily get removed!

The Lipstainer is my favourite. Simply just a swipe, my lips are in a healthy pink and it doesn't come off even when I drink water (or kiss transfer). I would have it on its own or underneath my lipstick colours, so even if the lipsticks get removed, I still have a pink tinge on my lips. Hehehe...

See how natural the lipstain is...

This one was highly recommended by the boss. The Protective Makeup Base helps you lock in all the moisture immediately. You know how you apply your moisturiser and it still feels "wet" against your skin? You are losing the moisture to the air, but if you apply the makeup base immediately after the moisturiser, you can quickly lock in the moisture and mattify you skin for any makeup...

Applying moisturiser.

The moisturiser is not absorbed immediately...

But once the Protective Makeup Base is applied...

The skin is dried up as the moisture is immediately absorbed and locked in!

These are also some of the other products that are highly raved about...

The UV Expert Serum, works like your foundations, BB Creams and CC Creams, but with the different colours, you can use it to hide the skin redness or the dark circles more. Use the natural shade on its on, or blend in those colour to get the healthy skin glow!

And it repels water!!!

Say goodbye to your blemish problems with the Blemishes No More Cream. It was quick grab amongst the bloggers that day! It is best to apply on the affected area, let the coolness calm the skin and then you remove it before doing your makeup...

There's also a lovely hair mist and body lotion selection. And if you are getting it as a gift, they can wrap it nicely for you too!

And for those who wants to have more elasticity and collagen in their skin, you can try the DNA Replenishing Cream. See how bouncy the cream is? Well, your skin will definitely have the "Boiing Boiing" effect after applying!

Last but not least, check out their falsies corner. They have a wide selection and what makes them special is that they are tilted upwards, so when you wear them, it gives you the wide eyes effect, making your eyes look more awake, more refreshed and wider...

So drop by the Magic Shop for some magical beauty tips!
