HAPPY SATURDAY NIGHT!!!!
Hope all of you have been enjoying your weekend!!!
My week has been hectic, as usual, but the highlights were definitely my 3...YES, three...TRES...visits to Ulta. What can I say? It's on the way home from work...AND it's 21 Days of Beauty at Ulta.
I do have to clarify, though, that on my second trip, it was purely for picking up a gift for a friend. So, I guess I wasn't being too bad...
On the last post about my Ulta haul, I had mentioned that the current mailer is advertising the Too Faced Spring 2014 line to include a bronzer palette.
Well, that is what I am going to be giving my friend, and also reviewing for you today!
Like I said before, this palette is definitely a MUST HAVE!!!
This is what the box looks like! Instantly, I fall in love with the color scheme. Nevermind what's in it...ring me up immediately!!!! (Ok, I'm not that EASY of a sell).
Inside, the palette is a tin case that matches the outer box (ooooh, fancy!!!!) and it comes with a matching insert...
...and the insert is AWESOME!!! If you are a beginner to bronzer, or are looking to elevate your bronzing technique, this cute little fold out is a great visual. It tells you EXACTLY where to place each product to achieve 3 different bronzy looks!
When you open up the very gorgeous palette...you hear angels singing (Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!)....Not really, but you do feel like Heaven's gate has parted.
Now, if you decide to get this palette (which I highly encourage you to do), it comes with the perfect tool: a flat kabuki brush that is oh-so-very-very-LUXURIOUSLY- plush!!! (I'm infinitely jealous!)
Flat...so it's PERFECT for contouring and sculpting.
Yet, plush and fluffy to help blend and diffuse the pigments and blur any harsh lines!!! (Did I mention how green with envy I am...right..now?!?!)
This is a top view of the palette. Three beautiful bronzers and that amazing brush!
A closer look of the bronzers...
Here is why this palette is so wonderful - just the bronzers alone:
1) They are CLEARLY labeled not just with their cutesy names (i.e. Chocolate Soleil, Sun Bunny, and Snow Bunny), but they are also labeled with what each bronzer does: Chocolate Soleil for a matte finish- great for contouring; Sun Bunny for a natural look- great to wear everyday, and Snow Bunny for the luminous bronzed look- great for bronzing as you transition from the lighter skin tones coming off of winter and going into spring/summer).
2) The bronzer on the far left, Chocolate Soleil, smells like CHOCOLATE!!!! So heavenly!...And why does it smell like chocolate? Because it is made with real Cocoa Powder, which is a natural antioxidant that is also great for the skin!!!
3) You can do SO MUCH with this palette: contour with the matte bronzer and get a natural glow with Sun Bunny or a healthy bright glow with Snow Bunny...Mix and match and play as you please!!!
Like I said, I bought this palette as a gift for a very dear friend of mine...But, trust me when I say that these are truly fantastic products...because I own all three in full-size!!! (Left to Right): Chocolate Soleil, Sun Bunny, Snow Bunny.
Below are swatches of (l to r) Chocolate Soleil, Sun Bunny , and Snow Bunny. Are those not just the prettiest finishes???
If you haven't been able to tell already, I am a huge fan of Too Faced bronzers. This palette has three of the most popular bronzers, but if you happen to also try the other ones that this line offers, you definitely won't be disappointed!!! Each full-size compact retails for $30 each...the palette is selling for $44!!!
Definitely has my stamp of approval!!!
As always, let me know if you have tried these bronzers and what you think of them, questions, comments, ideas for more reviews or blog posts!!!
Have a lovely night, y'all!!!
