Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette | Review

I'm back!
Sorry its been such a long time since I like posted on my blog, well for me it feels like forever!
However, I am here today to give you another review on a product I am in LOVE with!

This month I went out to Blackpool for the day with my boyfriend and his family to do some much needed retail therapy after a stressful few weeks!
Whilst there I accidentally slipped and fell into the Debenhams makeup department ;-)
Whilst I was there I came across the Two Faced Palette stand and had to pick something up whilst I was there..

So what did I buy?!....


That's right! I bought the much raved about Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bon Palette, and can I just say that this palette smells so damn good, like actual chocolate! What more could a makeup & chocolate lover want ;-)

So I know your probably dying to have a sneak peak inside, so here you go..


So this is what inside the palette looks like and I must say that I'm so impressed with how the palette looks, the heart shaped pans are adorable and so eye catching!

This palette cost me £39 from Debenhams which is expected as it is a high end palette, I am a true believer that you get your moneys worth from more high end/expensive brands. Most of my experiences with high end makeup products have been a success therefore I was willing to try this palette out.

I created an eye look using only the colours in this palette and this is the final look..


I created a really simple yet elegant smokey eye, using mainly the brown shades in the palette, I added a hint of the pink shade called 'Totally Fetch' to the inner corners of my eyes, by the way how cute are all the names for these eyeshadows!?

To then add colour I used a NYX neon eyeliner to add a pop of colour to the whole look and to brighten up the eyes.


These eyeshadows blend like a dream, they don't give a lot of fall out like some eyeshadows do.
You get a good range of matte shades and shimmer shades, with 14 eyeshadows in total, therefore you are very likely to get a ton of use out of this palette.


This Too Faced palatte is fantastic, the eyeshadows really helped bring this whole look together and as the shades I used were pretty neutral, it meant I could create a dramatic, bold lip!

If you would like to take a look at this palette on the Debenhams website or purchase it for yourself (which I highly recommend) you can click HERE to be taken directly to their website.

Overall I would give this palette a 10/10, it has everything I look for in a makeup palette: attractive packaging, bright colours, nice layout inside the palette and a wide range of shades to chose from!

Thank you so much for having a read.
I hope you all have a fab week..

Product Testing | Make Up Revolution, What You Waiting For? Palette

TGIF!
 
Hello, today I have another review for my lovely readers and followers, whoever you may be!
I am going to be reviewing a palette from the newly discovered makeup brand.. Makeup Revolution.
I got sent this palette from the product testing team and you can find out more about this company by clicking here: beauty product testing they work with beauty bloggers and will send you products of your interest to review, if you meet the product testing requirements and when they have a product suitable for you. This is my first time working with this company so I'm not sure on the ins and outs of how everything works, however if you want to find out more, I'm sure they would love to hear from you!
 
I was so excited when I opened up my package from Mr Postman, as I have been keeping my eye on the Makeup Revolution brand for a loooooooooong time, but I'm not the biggest fan of ordering makeup online, just because the product may break in the post and I like to see the products with my own eyes, so I can see the true shades and colours of each product. Unfortunately I do not have any beauty/drugstore stores locally which supply Makeup Revolution products, I'm not even sure if they sell there products in stores or just online, let me know..

 
 
I was a little bit curious as to how this palette would turn out, as Makeup Revolution is known for selling there products at very low, affordable prices, which sometimes can mean, the lower the price, the poorer the quality.. This was not the case.
 
 
I cannot express enough, how impressed I am with this £6 palette.
The colours are beautiful, it comes with 12 shimmer shades and 6 matte. I normally go for matte eye colours more than shimmer as I haven't quite got the hang of shimmer eye looks yet, due to not being the best blender in the world, these shades however are so easy to use, whether your a MUA or a beginner in makeup. I am still teaching myself makeup tips and tricks, so this palette is great for me, the colours are simple but once blended together create a dramatic eye look.
 
This palette is soooo pigmented for the amazing low price, especially the matte colours. My favourite shade is 'Super Hot Female', this shade is so good for a transition colour and looks great on any skin tone. I'm still practising with the black shade as its so pigmented that I sometimes end up with more on than I wanted and then look like I've been punched in the eye!
 
Who would I recommend this palette to? I would recommend it to anyone who likes to get a bargain when buying makeup, anyone who's a beginner in makeup, or like me, is still practising as this palette is so cheap and will last you a long time. Makeup Revolution have so many different palettes to choose from, ranging from different colours, themes and prices.
 
Here I created two eye looks, the first one is very simple and more on the natural side, using mainly matte shades from the 'What You Waiting For' palette. This look is so simple, that you can hardly even see the colours used, you would have to try this palette out yourself to see how great these matte colours are.
 
 
The second look is a more of a dramatic, girls night out sort of look, but without the colours being to dark.
 
 
With both looks I used the matte shade 'Your Capable' as a base colour, and it works a treat, making the eyelids and brow bone very clean looking.
 
Overall, I am beyond impressed with this palette, and now want to go and buy every other palette Makeup Revolution have to offer, and I can finally say I own a Makeup Revolution product YAY!
 
Thank you for reading, let me know what Makeup Revolution products you've tried before and if you liked them or not.
 
Have a brilliant weekend.
