Too Faced The Classics 5 Piece Collection

So I was in my local Ulta this weekend , low and behold what do i find a Too Faced Bargain kit, as you all know this is only available around the holidays... So I was quite surprised to see this sitting on the shelf. I hesitated for maybe a millisecond before I was at the register handing over my money to pay for my latest find.


Here's what came in the box:

Full-sized Items:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance $18.00

Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara $ 21.00

Too Faced Poreless Face Primer $30.00

Too Face Lip Of Luxury Lipstick in Free Love $ 20.00

Travel size :

Too Faced Peach Leopard Bronzer $13.00

Bonus Gift:

Free Too Faced eye shadow brush

Suggested Retail Price : $102.00

Actual Price: $39.00 plus tax

Totally worth it to test all those products..

Smash Eyes

As the title states the eyes are Smash... Smashbox cosmetics that is... I have always said that the best time to try expensive makeup is around the holiday season because they usually have a kit.... Typically in the kits you receive a better deal, more products... and last but most importantly... less guilt..

Eyes :

Mac Prep & Prime Medium

Lid: Mac Paint Stilife,  Smashbox Pronto

Crease: Smashbox Asap

Mascara : Covergirl Professional Superthick Lashes.... in my opinion this mascara does not live up to its name...but we live we learn we buy something else..

Face:

I used the Victoria's Secret Primer, which according to the company is number 1 in the world... I seriously doubt that.. It  might make the top 30 list but it does not deserve the distinction of being number one..

My issue with this knows no bounds.... the packaging gets a big fat( F) it comes in a pump bottle which does not pump...what's the point of having a pump if it doesn't work... it is like going out in the snow without a coat...and as all of us know..you would freeze your kester off. the formula is alright I would give it a (C+ ) because the pump doesn't work you got to shake the heck out of it to get it to come

 out which then causes you to get too much.... In my opinion this does not make the grade.

I used the Maybelline Dream Mousse foundation in the jar and Mac Desert Rose Blush to finish off my look..

Sephora Gift Sets

I happened to stumble across these as I was doing my holiday shopping.. The Too faced kit was only $20 it contained a full size mascara, lipstick, 3 of the lock down cream eye shadows with the built in eye primer, full sized lip gloss.. in my humble opinion totally worth it..

The Urban Decay gift set contained : full sized primer in sin, the 24/7 pencils, 2 full sized liquid eye liners, small eyeshadow in gypsy and gems for you to put on your eye... valued at $52... but I paid $39....

Also as an FYI: Mac is having a great collection released on 12/26/2010
