Too Faced La Creme Colour Drenched Lip Cream


After using the Too Faced bronzer set which i reviewed in full here, i have wanted to try more of their products,its a brand that isn't too well known and isn't sold in any of my local beauty stores,Too Faced can be purchased online from Beauty Bay though. Next on my list to try was one of their lipsticks. I purchased the La Creme Drenched lip cream in the colour Juicy Melons(love the name!) from Sephora in New York,but you can buy it from Beauty Bay for £18.00. As i have said before i love their packaging!The casing of the lipstick is gold with the Too Faced name embossed into the side of it.Juicy Melons is a gorgeous pink colour,its neither nude nor bright pink and i would liken it to a pink coral colour. 






The application of it is heavenly,it applies so easily and it is really hydrating so it doesn't leave your lips looking or feeling dry,as it states it is a creme colour and it really is creamy when you apply it to the lips,it has a distinctive gorgeous scent to it,unlike some cheaper makes which have that similar scent. I need to apply this a few times to get a full coverage,the colour does fade after a while when you eat/drink etc but apart from that the staying power is brilliant. I also love how it has a gloss finish which you can see from the above pictures. This lipstick stands out from the crowd for me because of the hydrating benefits,the creamy application and the colour/gloss look win me over. For me personally it is expensive at £18 which is more than you would pay for a Mac lipstick, but you really do pay for the quality here,i picked it up as a treat but i wouldn't normally pay this amount for a lipstick.


What do you think of this lipstick? What Too Faced products have you tried?

Too Faced // The Bronzed & The Beautiful


Hello everyone,i hope you all had a lovely weekend! I'm going to be telling you about my favourite bronzer today. I purchased this set called 'The Bronzed & The Beautiful' while I was shopping in New York last year. I purchased this set from Sephora,my first ever visit to one of their shops and i was in love!!You can also purchase it from boots which retails at £28.00.







The packaging on this is gorgeous, it looks old fashioned with the sepia seafront scene and with the pink and brown stripes. It really reminded me of the soap and glory collection as well as Benefit,maybe this was why I was so drawn towards this product.The set is a perfect size and it contains 4 different shades of bronzer, my favourite is the Chocolate Soleil which is a matte bronzer and it really helps to achieve that darker looking tan if that is the look you're going for. There is the classic bronze which can be used for most looks and this is called Sun Bunny, Snow Bunny is deemed as being a winter bronzer and lastly the Powdered Sun which is great to be used as an illuminating highlighter to contour areas of your face. Also included is the Deluxe Primed & Poreless SPF 20 bronze tint skin smoothing face primer. This can be used before putting on your foundation or bronzer,it also helps to achieve an overall smoother and flawless tan on your face. As I am no makeup artist I love how enclosed in the set is 3 how to do cards; How to lose 10lbs in 10 seconds,Glamour Bronze and Classic Bronze.

I have been using this product for almost a year now and i will definitely be repurchasing!!Personally, I think that the primer included is perfect if you have a natural dark tan anyway but for the times when my skin is pale(most of the year then!) the primer is far too dark for my skin and it ends up making me look like i'm caked in makeup, and not in a good way! I love all of the different bronzers as you are able to achieve different looks  with the added help of the to do cards. I use this product daily and on nights out , and it really does make me look like I have just got back from holiday with the perfect sunkissed tan, it looks so natural as well. On a night out I tend to use the Glamour Bronze look and in the day I usually dull it down a bit with the Classic Bronze. 

This product retails at the high end but for me it was totally worth it and i am still using the one i bought last year,amazing! Although, I am lusting after the Nars Laguna bronzer but is it worth the cost?!Please let me know if you have tried it i would love to know how you got on with it!



Have any of you ever tried this or any other products from the Too Faced range before?
