Too Faced HSN Makeup Bundle

Happy April everyone! I thought that I should make yet another makeup haul/review post today. I recently bought the Too Faced makeup bundle from the HSN online as a birthday present to myself! I absolutely love Too Faced and I'v been a fan of their cosmetic brand since I was 15. Their packaging has always been so cute and feminine and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. The best thing about Too Faced is that their entire line is cruelty-free and have a wide variety of vegan products as well!! How cool is that?!
I just took some swatches so you guys can see the color pigmentation and how the colors contrast on tan skin.

I first have to say that their "Eye Shadow Insurance" is not very thick and it drys clear. I wish that it would color my eyelids a bit, so the eye shadow colors would stand out more, but it does keep the eye shadows on for a long time regardless. I wore this to work, where I sweat in a warm environment and my eye shadow didn't come off. I have naturally oily eyelids, so it was beginning to show at the end of the night, but other than that it was pretty good. Not my favorite eye shadow primer, but it works!!

The Love Flush 16-Hour Blush in Justify My Love is absolutely amazing. The pigmentation is off the charts, a little of this blush can go a long way!! I also tested out the blush by wearing it at work and when I went out with some friends. This blush stayed on for my entire shift and for the entire night I was out. I would definitely recommend this blush, I mean just look at the incredibly cute heart shaped case also!

If you are a big makeup buff then I'm pretty sure you have heard of the very popular Better Than Sex Mascara. This mascara truly does live up to its name. It creates amazing volume and length without having to use a lot of product. I have very short and straight eyelashes and this mascara does wonders for me. Too Faced came out with a waterproof version which will definitely come in handy over the summer.

Last but not least.... the "Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Palette". When you open up the palette it smells so sweet like candy which is enough to get you hooked, if you have a sweet tooth like me. Some shadows are obviously not that vibrant on very tan skin tones like mine, that's why I do depend on eye shadow primers to help make some colors look more vibrant on my eyes. These colors are actually very pigmented and you don't need much when applying them to your eyes. My favorite colors so far has been "Peanut Butter" and "Puddin".

 

("Pink Sugar" is basically non-existent on my skin tone)

Overall I would recommend these products. I absolutely love Too Faced and I hope you guys would consider shopping from cruelty free makeup brands in the future!

Much love and until next time,

Vlogging at a Vegan Street Food Fair

Good morning (or evening/night/afternoon, depending what part of the world you're reading this from). 

A couple of weeks ago I went to a vegan street food fair in North Hollywood, California with my friend and I vlogged about it. I really enjoyed being surrounded by other vegans or other people just interested in veganism. Since becoming vegan, I've often felt alone in my journey, but I've been engaging myself in the vegan community on Youtube and I've been feeling more and more encouraged. I want to try to make some vegan videos and vlogs on Youtube myself, so I began by posting my first vegan vlog. I do apologize for being so awkward in my vlog. Hopefully my vlogging and editing skills will improve in the future.

Enjoy!
