Hello my loves! So today I am doing a review of the Too Faced Everything Nice Set. This review marks the first time where I have reviewed Too Faced products! I've been eyeing this set for awhile now, unable to decide whether or not I should pick this up or not. Last year I missed out on the My Favorite Things palette from them and I really regretted not picking it up! I eventually caved in and bought this palette! I've only tried two things from the set prior to purchasing this palette, the Better than Sex Mascara and Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. Everything else from this palette is brand new to me (I have never tried any of their eyeshadows, blushes, and highlighter)! So, stay tuned for this lengthy review of this makeup set!

The Transitional and Blending Eyeshadows


Hello lovelies! Today I am featuring my transitional and blending eyeshadows! While I do not have a lot of mid-tone brown eyeshadows in my collections, the ones I do have pack a nice punch and work wonderfully when I want to blend out eyeshadows and ensure that I do not have any harsh lines. The ones I have here are my favorites and the eyeshadows I gravitate towards the most!

Review: Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadows (353, 07, 09, 12)

Top Left to Right: Matte 353, AMC Shine 07
Bottom Left to Right: AMC Shine 09, AMC Shine 12

Price: Freedom System Empty Palette ($10), Each Individual Eyeshadow ($6), Total Palette Costs ($34)
Where Can It Be Purchased: Beautylish, Inglot, and Select Macys

Hey guys! So today I will be doing a review of the Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadows. I have here four colors I purchased back in July, and I've finally gotten around to settling what my final thoughts are on this palette! This review was requested by several readers of the blog!


The packaging of this palette is very secure. I am very pleased with how sturdy the packaging is! This is one of the few palettes I own that I feel extremely comfortable traveling with. This palette has a nice weight to it and along with a very strong magnet that keeps the lid attached, I don't feel like my eyeshadows are in danger of being destroyed by minor things.

I picked out four colors in this palette without checking any reviews online. After swatching for a good half an hour in the Inglot counter at Macy's, I decided on creating a somewhat "rose gold" eyeshadow palette. Out of the four colors I picked out, only one color is matte, the rest have a shimmer finish.




 Swatches from Left to Right: Matte 353, AMC Shine 07, AMC Shine 09, AMC Shine 12

Matte 353: A cream, off white color. The pigmentation here is nice, the formulation is not chalky. Easy to blend on the skin, and has been a favorite of mine for highlighting my browbone.

AMC Shine 07: A pale gold color. This is the least pigmented color in the palette, but the pigmentation is still good. Beautiful formulation, is not too shimmery on the eyes and is not chalky. One of my favorite golds in my makeup collection.

AMC Shine 09: A rose gold color. This is more on the peachy side of rose gold. Once again, the formulation of this product isn't too shimmery and it isn't chalky. 

AMC Shine 12: A rusty, cranberry color. This is a very wearable cranberry color, can be built up and to create a smokey look and can be used lightly to create some dimension in your eyes. One of my most worn eyeshadows in the fall. 

I don't have much to complain about these eyeshadows to be honest. The pigmentation and staying power is really good (especially if you wear a eyeshadow primer!) These colors blend very easily and they swatch and apply true to color. Out of this palette, my most used eyeshadow is definitely Matte 353, I can't live without that eyeshadow because I use it for my highlight on a very consistent basis! The only con I have against this palette is that I can't see the number of the eyeshadow in this palette because the magnet is too strong! Besides that, all I can say is that I can't wait until I try more Inglot eyeshadows! 

Have you guys tried Inglot eyeshadows? Any recommendations for me? Let me know in the comments below!

Review of Elf Essential Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick in Little Miss Thing

Elf Essential Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick in Little Miss Thing

Claims: This creamy and pigment rich Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick is perfect for creating a natural or smoky eyeshadow look. Infused with nourishing Vitamin E to condition the delicate eye area. The twist up component and smooth glide formula is easy to use for on-the-go beauty. All colors, except Like A Boss, have a shimmer finish.Price: $2.00
Shades: 10
Sizes: .11 oz/3 g
Where can it be purchased: eyeslipsface,Target



I recently purchased this jumbo eyeshadow stick from Elf at Target a couple of weeks back and I have been trying it out ever since. I purchased it in the shade Little Miss Thing, a champagne gold jumbo eyeshadow stick with shimmer. There were three options in total at Target, but I felt like this one would get the most use from me because I mainly wear natural eye makeup. 

The packaging of this product is slim and convenient to throw in a small travel makeup bag if necessary. One of the big perks about these jumbo eyeshadow sticks from Elf is that they do not need to be sharpened--it is a mechanical twist up pencil, which makes it convenient for lazy girls like who can never seem to find their eyeliner sharpener....

Swatches of Little Miss Thing with Flash

Swatches of Little Miss Thing without Flash

The shade Little Miss Thing is a light champagne gold shimmer. With just one swipe of the jumbo eyeshadow stick, I was able to get a very opaque swatch on my hand without too much pressure. For those who have the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold, Little Miss Thing is much lighter and has a slight pink tinge whereas Bold Gold is more of an antique gold. I had no irritation when using Little Miss Thing from the jumbo eyeshadow stick. The eyeshadow was very buildable and blended easily on the eye. 

The main downside of this jumbo eyeshadow stick is that in creases almost instantly on me without any primer. Within 10 minutes, I already saw the eyeshadow creasing on the inner folds of my eye. I am used to wearing eyeshadow without primer, mainly because of the humid weather in Florida, so it is not that big of a deal for me. I've also tried wearing the jumbo eyeshadow stick with eyeshadow on top but it still creased within 10 minutes for me. With the eyeshadow primer, it lasted for 9 hours (I haven't tried it longer than that, but it still looked as good as when I first applied my makeup!)

Overall, I would recommend this product if you do not mind using an eyeshadow primer (Wet n' Wild Take the Day Eyeshadow Primer is a drugstore eyeshadow primer that I recommend!). However, if you do not use eyeshadow primer, then I recommend you pass on this product. Hopefully one day Elf will make an jumbo eyeshadow stick that doesn't crease! The closest thing so far I have found for a drugstore creaseless eyeshadow is the Maybelline Color Tattoos, and even then they crease on me after 8 hours!

Let me know what you think of this products on the comment section below! I'm currently waiting on the weather in Florida to hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit before I post a review of the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation. It's survived with the Elf HD Powder and Rimmel Stay Matte at 90 + degrees, but I have yet to try it by itself!
