TXmaxx has done it again!
I love TXmaxx. I deffo one of those people that can spend
hours looking through the clothes and make up section (yes my TXmaxx has a
make-up section!) Im lucky as I have a good store which is often full of brands
such as Urban Decay, O.P.I, Monu and off course Too Faced.
For those of you who have
followed me for a while, or know me, you’ll
know that I love too faced make up, more specifically their eye shadow pallets.
As much as I love Urban Decay for pigmentation and longevity I love too faced
for its sparkle and cute colours. Too faced as a brand just screams what I wear
and what I love. Most of the too faced things I own have come for TXmaxx for a
fraction of the price.
This Too faced “In Your Dreams”
pallet came in at, wait for it, £9.99 instead of the RRP £35. That’s cheaper than drugstore! I was so happy,
and it had no finger prints in it! If you know TXmaxx you’ll know what im on
about…Ive seen this pallete in boots a while ago and looked at it then, but I couldn’t
justify that much on make up I didn’t need.
Firstly ill talk about the packaging.
I love this. Its sparkly and
cute, okay slightly immature and not exactly the most slick and stylish but its
certainly pretty. Although its made of of cardboard it feel snug and safe and if
I was to take this for travel I feel like it would be okay, and wouldn’t shatter.
That’s another thing I love about this pallet, it has 9 eye shadows, 3 blushes
(1 bronzer really) and 3 really nice lip colours. Perfect for shoving in a bag
for a long weekend. Im all about easy for traveling and this would cover most
of my basics.
It comes set out in 3 looks:
Natural
The most easy of the looks. The eye
shadows are gorgeous champagne browns and gold’s. ‘Silk Stocking, La Cage and
Rapture’, these are the type of colours I wear on an everyday bases so great
for just glancing in a rush and having a lid, shimmer and crease colour set out
for you. Perfect for a quick eye look and the rest of your face. I love the
natural eye colours and how simple they are to wear. All of the eye shadows in
this kit are super pigmented and soft. Almost like a buttery texture. Amazing
to wear and last for ages. The blush to
go with this is called ‘Wanna Play?’ and for me is a dupe for Nars Orgasm,
super shimmery and pigmented and gorgeous on my skin tone. The blushes with
this set are amazing too and feel very expensive and soft.
I have to be honest the
lipglosses with the set was what I was least looking forward too. Everyone
hates those cheap glosses you get that look like this as they are sticky and
plastic tasting with not much pay off.
Well these lipglosses are sticky
but smell and taste amazing! I think that the colours are sheer but give the
great compliment to the rest of the look provided and are a great alternative
to carrying around 10 lipsticks as well as this kit. Not the best, but by no
means the worst.
Feminine
Feminine is a super pretty pink
based look, which again features the quality and pigmentation as the others. I will say that this is about as dark as I get
eyeshadow wise as im very pale dark colour look way too harsh. However this
look comes with 3 eyeshadows called ‘Pink Peacock, Swing and Fishnet’ all of
which complement each other to create almost like a pink based smokey eye. I
love the colour Pink Peacock and have been wearing as a highlight on other
looks I’ve done. Again though all very wearable and pretty. ‘Girly Show’ is the
blush and is a baby pink frosting which look great just on the cheekbones as a
almost highlight. Fairly pale but works well on my fair skin, it is pigmented
though so would work well on darker skins too probably. The lipgloss is ‘Pink
Ice’ and is a nude pink easy colour to pop on.
Seductive
This look is the most out of my
comfort zone. But as they say every girl needs a smokey eye. Full moon is the
most gorgeous sliver blue colour which works well with others from the group.
Ill be honest, im yet to wear Dream on and Seduce as they are a bit dark for
me. Im thinking of using them as a liner on nights out. But very pigmented and
soft nevertheless. The Lipgloss is ‘Heart
on’ and is a more red based nude, which again would be a easy thing to pop on
on the move.
It’s the Blush that I love out of
the Seductive Group. Its called ‘You hold the Key’ and is an almost
brown/orange/pink. If that makes any sense. When I first bought this I thought I
will never wear that colour as its way too orange. Well when use lightly its
more of a shadow colour on me and so works great for contrasting and contouring
features as well as very light use as a bronzer.
Overall I love this set and would
happily of paid the full RRP. I might be biased as I love too faced and find
their stuff lasts for ages as well as being highly pigmented and lasting ages
on my skin. The fact that the Door opens and reveals how to wear each look is
useful, and may be more useful for those just getting into make up or if you didn’t
know how each look would work. So I might use those cards more with the darker sets
such as Seductive. I also am not overall thrilled with the lip colours but I do
think they add for a nice completed look if this was all you were taking away
with you apart from foundation e.g.
I really do like this set and am
so glad I found it!
What do you think? Do you like too faced?
