I have a ton of Fresh sugar rose samples the same deluxe size as the one in the kit. Can never have too many tho

Chihuahua comes with every too faced kit...sigh. Plus i have a full sized. I wish they switched it out for one of the melted lips...yummm

Star of the show. Completely worth it. Formula is soft and comfortable. Color looks great on a wide range of skin tones

All in all this set is worth it. It goes in and out of stock all the time. If you do find it in stock, do not hesitate to pick it up.

Looxi Beauty: The Highlighters

I introduced Looxi Beauty in my last post, Read Here . And now onto the highlighters. They are smooth and pigmented and my favorite part, do not accentuate pores. Yay. They are offered in two styles, pan only and compact style. And of course, swatches below, enjoy.

The Best Summer Foundations

Summer! Oh the beaches, sundresses, sandals, ice-cream, the heat, my makeup melting, umm, na uh. Tackle the beauty and heat of summer with these foundations

*NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint - $44

Pricey! yes i know, but the benefits are equally as good. A skin tint but surprisingly very good i
would call it medium coverage, light-weight foundation with SPF 30. What more can you ask for.

The Best Setting Powders

Welcome to the world of makeup where new trends pop up everyday. Latest on the gram is the pizza highlighter, and i tell you it looks delicious enough to eat. While we try to spring up new trends and decide on which ones to join in, here is a stapler one. The under-eye; oh yes, those limited edition one of a kind Chanel bags with sensuous lines that sometimes come in different colors. Now in order to mask them, short of applying glitter straight out of the bottle, the next best thing is concealer. But to prevent the cream of concealer from creasing and to make it last longer, we need a setting powder. Here are the top five i have sourced in no particular order


1. RCMA no-color powder - $12

Kat Von D Shade and Light Eye Palette with Swatches

If you are still undecisive about this palette, stop reading, and go purchase yours. This is the definition of awesome when it comes to eyeshadows and the mother of all matte palettes. I bought this palette in October and regretted all through the first week on not getting it when it launched. The shadows are buttery goodness and the pigmentation is out of this world. 

My initial hesitation stemmed from the color selection and i thought that they would not vary enough on my skin tone. Boy oh boy, was i wrong. Each color is unique and beautiful on its own.
The only downside is that the shadows can be powdery when a brush is dipped in them, but the pigmentation, softness and ease of use of this palette makes up for that.
