Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette

Recently I made a post about how you could get your own Too Faced Cosmetics Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette with full sized eyeshadow primer for only $29!

I jumped on the bandwagon and picked up my own palette. I've been wanting one for a while but I didn't want to dish out the $49 for it. When I saw the chance to get if for $29, with free shipping AND a full sized eyeshadow primer, I felt as though the makeup gads had made my choice for me!!

At first glance it looks just like a candy bar. From the beautiful cardboard packaging to the actual chocolate casing, too faced hit it right on. It is suppose to smell like chocolate. Although it does have a sweet smell, it doesn't smell like the chocolate I'm use to but that doesn't bother me at all.

Here's what everything looks like:

This was such an amazing deal. With tax I only paid $30.96! The palette itself sells for $49 while the shadow insurance sells for $20. That's $69 for both items. Before tax!!! I saved more than $40! I'd definitely say SCORE on this one!

If you haven't already picked up your too faced chocolate bar palette, then head over to nouveaucheap.blogspot.com to find out how you can get yours for only $29!

I got mine! With tax it came to $30.96. Considering you get the palette that sells for $49 an a full sized primer that sells for $20, that is more than a steal!

Something Different

I usually post about makeup but this time I wanted to make a nail post.

I am apart of a program by Influenster, tht allows you to test out products. Sometimes even before they hit shelves.

My last vox box contained some new Sally Hansen nail polishes.

I decided to keep the mint green one and the dark purple one and have the red one to my mom.

I have to say that I actually like this polish. It's suppose to be an all in one type of Polish where you have a base coat, top coat, it levels itself, and low drying time.

I would have to say that it lives up to its claim. I tend to wash my hands many times throughout the day and use hand sanitizer. Despite that, the polish still lasted about a week before it chipped out. Usually polish barely last a day or two. I'm not sure of the price but if you are a real deal polish girl, this one is a winner! For reference, I own more than 50 polishes and I like this one the best. My only con is that the mint green one required three coats before I felt it was opaque. 

Makeup of the day

This look was done using my coastal scents hotpots!

For the lips I used a combination of a nude maybelline lip butter and a pink milani cosmetics lipstick.

Merry Christmas

And happy holidays to you and yours!!!

Real Techniques

Just about everyone knows what I mean when I say pixi woo on YouTube! Well Samantha Chapman has (well a while ago) come out with a brush line. I decided to finally take the plunge and purchase some when the real techniques site had 50% off!

I decided to purchase the sets so that I could try more of the brushes out at once. The sets usually run about $14-$18 depending on sales and where you purchase them from.

I must say that they live up to all I'd the hype I've heard! I really like that the sets come with their own brush holder/travel roll to make storage easy. In addition to that, you can fit extra brushes in the cases as well. 

I ended up only spending $50 for all of my brushes with the 50% off deal. If anyone would like to see a full review please let me know.

Coastal Scents Black Friday

Coastal Scents has some of the best sales year round so I did not need much but I just couldn't say no to buying something!

The entire site was 50% off!!!! I have a bunch of the hot pots but I just had to have more. Lol. I went through my stash and picked up some new colors. I already have the creative me palette, and a bunch of neutrals so I added a few more bold colors (and a few more neutrals). I picked up:

1. Persian Green

2. Deep Viridian

3. Medieval Gold

4. Black Berry

5. New Penny

6. Chocolate Berry

7. Nude

8. Amber Bronze

I also have been wanting to try some of the beautiful glitters. The glitters all come in a sifter top jar with a screw lid. I picked up:

1. Starburst (yellow)

2. Black Out (black)

3. Bejeweled (teal)

4. Sparkling Chrome (silver)

5. Ruby Slipper (red)

Last but not least, I picked up three brushes.

1. BR-C-S16 (angled eyeliner brush)

2. BR-C-S17 (small angled brush)

3. BR-250 (pro blending brush)

Including shipping I was under $30 for everything. Take that MAC! Lol.
