Chocolate Bar

I’ve been drooling (pun intended) over this palette for almost a year, and I’m so glad that I finally decided to purchase it about a month ago. It’s (obviously) the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eye shadow palette and I purchaced it from BeautyBay.com alongside this Stila Convertible Color. This palette has an amazing colour selection; it’s mostly neutrals, but mixed in with some more colourful shadows. The palette contains 16 eye shadows, and as far as I can see and feel the shadows come in three different finishes/textures; there are 6 matte shades (White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Triple Fudge, Salted Caramel, Semi-Sweet, and Strawberry Bon Bon), 4 (slightly chalky) glittery shades (Gilded Ganache, Black Forest Truffle, Candied Violet, and Cherry Cordial), and 6 (buttery) metallic shades (Marzipan, Amaretto, Hazelnut, Créme Brulee, Haute Chocolate, and Champagne Truffle). My favourite finish/texture is definitely the latter. They are so buttery smooth and incredibly pigmented (my favourites right now are Marzipan, Amaretto, and Hazelnut). I love the matte shades as well which are mostly neutral shades (I’m in love with Salted Caramel!). The only disappointing thing about this palette is the glittery shades. The colours look gorgeous in the pan, but are quite chalky, and not as pigmented as the other shadows. All in all I do absolutely love this palette, and I would highly recommend it. Oh, and how cute is the packaging and shadow names:)

Neutral pinks

I did quite a lot of shopping in January and I still haven’t shown you a lot of the stuff I bought. I bought these three products when the drugstores had a 2 for 1 deal on Rimmel and a 30 % off deal on Maybelline. From Rimmel I bought another Lasting Finish Colour Rush Long Lasting Intense Colour Balm and a Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush. The Colour Balm is in the colour 110 Make Me Blush. I’m really into neutral pinks at the moment, and I been swatching this one on the back of my hand many times and finally decided to get it. It looks more like a neutral pink in the tube and on the hand swatch than on the lips. It’s less neutral and more pink on the lips, but it’s still very pretty. The blusher is in the colour 020 Pink Rose, and even though it looks like a peachy nude in the pan, it’s actually more pink on the skin (which fits with the name), but I really like that. I really like the colour and I really like the texture and finish as well, and I been wearing it quite a lot since I bought it. Last, but not least, I bought my first Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil. It’s in the colour 210 Keep It Classy and I’m obsessed! It’s obviously a jumbo pencil type product, but it’s sooo smooth and really easy to apply. It’s long lasting as well, and the colour… the colour is incredible. It’s the most gorgeous, deep, neutral, rosy pink. One of my favourite lip products at the moment.

Brush and bronze

I bought these three amazing products in the beginning of the month. I’ve been wanting these items for so long, and I’m really glad that I finally bought them. The brush is a MAC 217 which is probably the most famous MAC brush. It’s a great brush for applying and blending eye shadow. The bronzer is The Body Shop Honey bronzer which I’ve been swatching in stores so many times, and I can’t believe I didn’t purchase it sooner. I got the shade 02 and it’s the perfect matte bronzer for fair-skinned girls like me. And last but not least the Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and on Bronze finally came to Denmark, and I had regretted not bying it when I was in England, so I had to pick one up, and I love it.
