Too Faced Chocolate BonBons Palette Personal Thoughts and Swatch

Hello Fellow makeup junkies in this blog i'll be sharing with you my thoughts on the famous Chocolate Bonbons Palette by Too faced . 


I'm pretty sure you guys all heard about this Palette, i know i'm a bit late in making a Review and Swatch Blog  on this but i love this makeup soooooo  much that i just have to do this.

Last October 10 i finally decided to purchase this Palette because it was my birthday and i have all the reason in the world to splurge in every thing that i want!! :) no guilt it's my birthday after all hehehehe, Anyway it's no secret that Too Faced is a bit  Pricey so i was actually hesitant to buy this one because it was 2,928.00 Php in Sephora ph (click here for product link ) and that is way too expensive if you compare it to other beauty brands such as Maybeline and L'oreal which are very good makeup brands, but this  one belongs in the high end shelves so expect it to be pricey.  The good thing is my ever supportive and loving Boyfriend offer to pay it since he doesn't know what to get me for my birthday so lucky me hehehe. 


I got my Product just Four days after i placed my order which is actually pretty fast knowing that  Sephora Ph. is Singapore based so all products are being shipped from Singapore to Philippines via Aramex courier and LBC. 

The Packaging is so cute!! which is expected because Too Faced is one of those brands who gives effort with their products packaging. The palettes case is made of metal so i assume that's the reason why it's kinda heavy and very sturdy.  It has a magnetic lock which makes it easier to open and close the palette and a descent size mirror in the back of the top cover.



When you open the Palette the 1st thing you will notice is the YUMMY SCENT!!! like a real Chocolate so if you're a chocoholic this will definitely trigger your chocolate cravings. 


This Palette contains 14 favorite eyeshadows and 2 totally new shades: Almond Truffle, Satin Sheets, Sprinkles, Molasses Chip, Malted, Cashew Chew, Cotton Candy, CafĂ© Au Lait, Bordeaux, Mocha, Black Currant, Dark Truffle, Pecan Praline, Totally Fetch, Earl Grey and Divinity. 

also the product included a step by step "how-to Glamour Guide" to master three eye looks using different color combination of all the shades in the palette. 

Here is a swatch of each shade in the palette..


the Palette has 7 Matte shades and 9 Shimmer Shades..


Almond Truffle, Cashew Chew and dark Truffle


Satin Sheets, Cotton Candy, & Pecan Praline



Cafe Au Lait, Totally Fetch & Sprinkles


Bordeaux, Earl Grey, & Molasses Chip


Mocha, Divinity, Malted & Black Currant

What i love about this products is it is Paraben-free, sulfate-free, phthalate-free, Gluten-free, and the most important is Too faced is Cruelty free. Not only it is safe to us humans but also to our little furry animal friends. I've been using this for two weeks now and i can definitely say this is worth the money!! it is very pigmented, creamy, very easy to blend and it does not fade easily (unless you keep on rubbing your eyes), i tried using it without any eye shadow primer just to test the product and it actually stayed on my lids for like 8 hrs without creasing. 



Personally i really love this Palette although i would probably buy the other Chocolate Bar Palette and other Too faced Products than repurchasing this because i kinda consider this as a collectibles so for me since this is a bit expensive i'll rather want to try other palettes than to just limit myself to one Palette if it makes sense?? hhehe i'm sure you get what i meant... 

is it worth my money? yes most probably is, from it's packaging up to it's formulation you can see that Too Faced really made their products in the highest quality. I'm not saying that other products are made cheap, i know there are brands in the market w/c also offers quality products in a much cheaper price, But if you have extra money that you want to splurge or if you want to treat your self with something worth your bucks , Too faced is worth it!! so 2 thumbs up to this yummy Palette i'll definitely be buying other stuff from them so stay tuned.. :)

Thanks for dropping by... mwah <3

Unboxing my DROP DEAD GORGEOUS GLAMOUR BOX

Hello Beauties and fellow make up junkies!! we're here again with  another Unboxing Episode (yay!!). Last October 13, 2016 my Subscription Box from Glamour Box finally arrived. It was called the Drop Dead Gorgeous Box featuring the Pop Beauty Cosmetics. For those who is not familiar with Glamour Box here's a short overview, Glamour Box is an Online Shopping site w/c caters Different Cosmetics and Beauty Products varying from local to international brands. They also have Curated Boxes were they feature certain brands. I got two of their Subscription Boxes the first was the Perfectly Pixi Box w/c i also made an Unboxing Blog that you can check Here.


These Curated Boxes cost 1,290.00 Php but the total product that you'll be getting is worth 4,000.00 Php. If you want to try their Curated boxes you can click Here for the Drop Dead Gorgeous Box, or you can Click Here for the Perfectly Pixi Box. Here is a Short Video of my Unboxing Moment.





Product Details:


Permanent Pout in the shade Razzle Rose ( click here for product link ). This is a Liquid Lipstick That gives a Velvety and Matte Finish you can buy it for 750.00 Php and it comes in six different shades. I'm Glad that this was the shade that i got because currently i am obsessed with nudes. This one has a coral brownish pink color w/c you can wear with any make up look. The formulation of this Liquid  lipstick is also quite good, it is very pigmented, easy to apply and very creamy. Although it dries in a Matte Finish it does not clump up my lips but it does transfer to things that touches your lips like when you drink coffee or you take a bite in your friend's burger :) it leaves a stain in it, so you need to reapply your lipstick after eating or drinking. Personally i would rate this lipstick 8 out of 10 stars for it's quality and price. 


Peak Performance Brow in the shade Natural Brunette (click here for product link ). This Eyebrow pencil is sold for 790.00 php it has a slanted triangular shape which claims to make application easier and gives off perfect eyebrow arches. It also claims to last the whole day. Personally i'm not a "KILAY IS LIFE" kinda person because i have a decent natural shape eyebrows and i thank God for that since i don't like spending 1-2 hrs just to get a perfect Brows, however i did tried this just to test the product  i guess i would still prefer powder rather than pencils because for me it's easier and faster also in some weird way eyebrow pencils tend to make my brow bald?? i don't know if it's just me or it happens to other people but yeah i notice my eyebrows became thinner when i used pencils... let me know in the comment box if any of you experience this as well.


Pow Wow Powder in Rockin' Rouge Pallete (click here for product link ). The curated box offers two palettes the Beachin Bronze which is a bronzer palette and the Rockin Rouge which is a blush palette, i am glad that i got the Blush palette because i already have tons of bronzer palettes and i was actually planning to purchase a blusher , it seems like Glamour Box can read my mind :) . This quad palette also have a Highlighter Palette called Strobin Glow. The Rockin Rouge consist of  two Matte blushers and two Shiny ones all are very pretty vibrant pink.

You can Buy this for 1,190.00 Php which is a bit pricey but i mean you get four pretty shades of blushes so i think it's still ok. I also love the packaging of this palette and the short message you see when you open it i think it's just cute and pretty.


"A CHEEK WITHOUT ROUGE, IS LIKE A CAKE WITHOUT FROSTING"




Pouty Pop Crayon in the shade Rose Romance ( click here for product link ). This is sold for 395.00 Php This is basically a colored lip Balm which is very moisturizing to the lips like the products in this curated box they offer different shades, and again in some weird way glamourbox sent me the shade that i really love, I've been using this crayons since last year because i purchase the Pop Crayon kit where you get all 6 shades of these very moisturizing and pigmented lip crayons you can check my previous blog that included these crayon kit here


Nail Glam in the shade Seventy Five Purple Plum (click here for product link ).  Again i got the pretty shade :) ( i love you glamour box) i was actually wearing it on my unboxing video above although the application was not perfect because i just tried it a soon as i opened the box :). You can buy this nail polish for 450.00 php a bit pricey for a nail polish i wouldn't buy it unless it will be 50% off hehehehe , but the formulation of this is quite good it is Formaldehyde and DBP free w/c make this nail polish safe for human health, it is easy to apply and it dries up quickly.
