Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette

First of all, I want to apologize for not updating this blog in over a month. I have been super busy with life. I actually just started full time with a web marketing company so I've just been adjusting to everything and I'm also having issues with my apartment and now I'm currently in the process of looking for a new apartment. So yeh, just a lot of stress and changes.
Onto what this post is really about...I purchased the Too Faced Romantic Eye palette not too long ago after I was getting bored with my Urban Decay Naked palette. I love all of the purples and pinks as well as the gold toned colors. It also has a lot of matte colors so I couldn't resist! The entire palette has wedding themed names and this time Too Faced left out the brush drawer. It still has a magnet closure and I personally find the colors to be much better quality than my other Too Faced Glamour to Go II palette.

I actually find myself reaching for all of the colors in the palette, but the one color I reach for the most is Honeymoon. It's like an antique shimmery gold color which looks almost green toned. It's a great spring color and I love it with Ever After in the crease.
There is also "Soulmates" which is a shimmery cream color. "I Do" is a matte lavender gray color. "Un-Veil" is a matte soft black.
Then on the second row is "Kiss the Bride" which is a matte baby pink. "Cut the Cake" is a shimmery silver and "First Dance" is a matte deep purple.
Third row begins with "Bouquet Toss" which is a matte cream color. Next to that is "Honeymoon" (best color in the palette) which is an antique goldish-green color. "Ever After" is a shimmery deep bronze.
For the past 6 weeks or so I've been using just this palette everyday. I think it makes great eye looks for spring and I will continue to use it through summer. I also love that the eye looks can be pretty neutral which is great for my 9 to 5 job. I wouldn't say that I love it more than the Naked palette, but to me it has more wearable colors because none of the colors in the Romantic Eye palette are glittery. When I think of my Naked palette there are several colors that come to mind that I haven't even touched because of the mass amount of glitter in them. Like I said though, I find myself using every color from the Too Faced Romantic Eye palette.
It came with these cards on different eye looks. I've tried all of them out and my favorite is "Fashion." But yeh I definitely recommend this palette and it cost somewhere around $35 which I think is a great deal for the quality and quantity of eyeshadow given. Let me know if any of you have tried it or want to try it and what you think of it

February Favorites

Hey! I am going to try to post my favorites every month, but we'll see if I can keep up with that! hah
Let's begin with my February beauty favorites:
1.) Tarte Cheek Stain in "Tickled." I love this blush! It goes on nicely and I love the sheer peachy red color and it's even peach scented!
2.) Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette. I've pretty much been using this palette everyday. I was getting bored with my Urban Decay Naked Palette and I loved the colors in this palette a lot! I am going to do a review on it in the next couple of days :)
3.) Coach Poppy Perfume. I am addicted to this scent! I wear it everyday and the scent is very long lasting. The Coach website describes the scent as "sweetly scented jasmine and gardenia mingle with fresh cucumber and candied rose petals" (I'm bad at describing scents haha)
4.) Nail Tek II: Intensive Therapy for soft peeling nails. This stuff really works! I have definitely noticed that my nails are getting stronger and it's an excellent base and top coat as well.
5.) CoverGirl NatureLuxe Silk Foundation. This foundation provides a very light coverage and goes on like silk. I really like the way it blends into my skin. It doesn't feel like I have any foundation on at all!

Now for my non-beauty favorites...
1.) Little Big Planet 2. Ahhhh I love LBP!!!!! I was so excited when this came out. It is a very addictive game to say the least! All of the levels are so fun and creative and you can even collect costumes and stickers.
2.) Bath and Body Works candle in Japanese Cherry Blossom. I love candles from B&BW and right now the 3 wick candles are on sale 2 for $20. Yay! This scent is one of my favorites and I even have the matching lotion.
3.) Parks and Recreation. This isn't a tangible thing I can take a picture of because I watch it on Netflix and it comes on every Thursday night on NBC. Anyway, I am obsessed with this show! April and Andy are my favorite characters and I also really like Ron Swanson. Such a good show!

So, that's all for now...if you want a more in-depth review of any of the items I mentioned just let me know! I am for sure doing a review on the Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette and will post it in the next few days so stay tuned! Thanks for reading :)
