Too faced natural eye palette




I got this palette a little while ago when I decided to get a nice natural eye palette as thoses are the colours i'm drawn to so i got the too faced natural eye palette .


Pros.........
Non-creasing eye shadows, variety of matte and shimmer eye shadows, pigmentation, cards that are included.
Cons............
Unnecessary packaging, brush, no- mirror.

The packaging..........................
U-D; Heaven, velvet revolver, sexpresso
It’s bulky and big and totally unnecessary. What about saving the planet too faced? Although it is undoubtedly stunning i would have been happier with a slimmer pallete like my urban decay naked palette. And the drawer which is home to that brush should have been cut from the final design as i see no need for it. The brush is basically a dual end brush (a stiff liner and sponge) i wanted to like it but i just couldn’t. It also doesn't have a mirror just a stupid big eye.


L-R; Nude beach, honey pot , cocoa puff
The palette...............
U-D; silk teddy, push up,erotica
The 9 eye shadows are AMAZING, honestly they were pigmented, buttery smooth and they will last for ages. Your 3 main colours are heaven, silk teddy and nude beach and they are a lot bigger than the other 6. My favourite eye shadows would be push up and honey pot.
At £23.00, each eye shadow only costs £2.55, its excellent value!!!!

Would i buy again........?
Yeah, if i ever need to. I’ve had it for ages and it hasn't even got a dip yet!!!

Bourjois smoky eye trio


Hey,
       Gorgeous

I bought the Bourjois smoky eye trio in nude ingénu (04) for £7.99

Good things........................
Nice colors, two are pigmented, nice packaging, all right price


Bad things...........
Lightest color lacks pigmentation, silly brushes

Packaging......................


Its nice 'n' simple with light brown lettering

The trio..........................
Well the browns are pigmented but the highlight doesn't really show up (que swatch pic)
They stay on reasonably well  (for 4 hours without primer)

Grade
B-

Urban decay primer potion VS Too faced shadow insurance

In a time before dinosaurs,cavemen and the IPhone 4 came 2 primers ( Urban decay primer potion & Too faced shadow insurance) constantly battling to be the best but which one REALLY is.......................................


Cost...........


UDPP & TFSI is £12.00 (sources from Boots)


The (Basic) differences..........
TFSI  is creamier & thicker .   
UDPP is silky & more watery. Sheer & nude.

UDPP..........

Light weight and very smooth when applied
The color it this light beige but when applied to the lids and blended it becomes translucent
Hold: No creasing, fading, or smears

TFSI..........

 This one has more than the Urban Decay
When applied its a bit sticky 
Hold: No creasing, fading, or smears

The best......................

ITs (almost) a draw !!!!!!!

In my opinion the Primer Potion would be better for people with oily eyelids. Also Urban Decay has bought out a new bendy application brush to help you get more out of it as everyone remembers the pain of cutting of the old bottles, which is pretty handy! Too Faced Shadow Insurance comes in a squeezy tube making it a doddle to get the product out and you get extra product.
