Too Faced Love Flush Review

Long-Lasting 16-hour Blush 

 A Long-wear, fade-proof, smudge-proof formula keeps your cheeks 
perfectly flushed for up to 16 hours!
Pigment-rich, high-impact shades give a pretty pop of colour for any skin tone.

♥

Six bold pops of colour enriched with buttery soft pigments that bond with skin & take on a weightless, suspended look. From a soft dusty, nude hue with fine gold sparkle to a watermelon-pink, you can create an array of looks for day & night!

Another Too Faced review because I can't get enough of their gorgeous products!

I ordered the shade "I Will Always Love You" - Gilded Peach with a Natural Sheen, along with 

the new Born This Way Foundation from the Too Faced website (www.toofaced.com)

Check out my review on the foundation here -

Once again, the packaging is to die for cute! Embossed blush product encased in a 

colour matched, heart shaped compact, even the box it comes in is worth keeping! 
These retail for $26 usd (approx $39 nzd) for 6.0g of product.

Now for what's inside..

This is exactly what I expected from Too Faced, they never dissapoint!

Highly pigmented, buttery soft & so easy to blend. They even smell good!

I can't say I've tested the 16-hour wear but it does last on my skin while
I work in a busy hair salon all day.

"I Will Always Love You" is my kinda shade! A stunning dusty peach with a subtle, natural sheen, perfect for everyday wear to add some glowing colour.

Available in 5 other shades:

Baby Love - Soft Dusty Nude w/ Fine Gold Sparkle
Justify My Love - Bright Pink w/ Fine Gold Sparkle

 Love Hangover - Perfect Warm Pink

How Deep Is Your Love - Watermelon Pink

Your Love Is King - Plumy Rose

Even the names are cute & creative!

Plus, these compacts look so pretty on your vanity! What's not to love, right? 

What shade sounds like your style & you'll be picking up?! I want "Baby Love" now!

Bonus! - All Too Faced Cosmetics Products are Cruelty Free, they love Fur babies too!

www.TooFaced.com 

 (All the information above is found on the box & website)

Let me start with the packaging as always! 

Too Faced never fail with their gorgeous packaging, doused in gold detail, pink boxes & cute designs

This Foundation comes in a frosted glass bottle with a plastic black lid & gold Too Faced rim, 

And I'm sure you all notice - The Pump!! 

Can we just praise the Makeup Gods for finally granting our beauty wishes!

I ordered mine in IVORY (fair with Neutral/Golden Undertones) from TooFaced.com for $39 usd (approx $59 nzd) for 30ml of product

Currently available in 12 shades with 6 more coming later this year,

 including 2 fairer shades & 4 deeper shades!

♥

100% said this foundation BLURRED their imperfections

98% said it made their skin look absolutely PERFECT

97% said it provided NATURAL coverage

Once again I applied one side using a Beauty Blender & the other using a Flat Top Kabuki Brush

I used approximately 2 pumps to cover my face, the beauty blender gave a more natural & skin-like finish, but soaked up more product, as it does. The Kabuki gave fuller coverage but made the foundation slightly patchy & needed more product to even it out.

I didn't set with anything today (because I forgot!) but I noticed after I had finished the rest of my makeup, it had set smooth & not tacky at all! 

                                     
 BEFORE                                                                  AFTER

As you can see, it covers imperfections & blemishes well, looks radiant & natural,

not matte or luminous, just naturally glowy

Beauty Blender:

Medium coverage, even skin tone & blemish scarring is covered :)

                                    

Flat Top Brush:

Fuller coverage, even skin tone & blemishes are blurred. The skin looks natural!

The more I use this foundation, the more I love this kind of radiant, natural finish for everyday.

It lasts all day while I'm at work, it does start to shine around the nose & needs slight touching up throughout the day, but other then that I have fallen for this foundation! 

As a shade reference, I am MAC NC20 & this shade Ivory is perfect for my skin 

with NO oxidising throughout the day. 

If you are fairer, remember they are bringing out 2 new shades soon, made just for you gals!

SNOW Very Fair with neutral/pink undertones

PEARL Very Fair with neutral/golden undertones

Chi Chi Cosmetics "Nudes" Palette

Review & Swatches!

"A collection of everyday nudes with light smokey highlighters"
 This is my first Chi Chi Glamorous eyeshadow palette from their large range
And I was blown away by the pigmentation & creamy texture of these shadows!

♥

"Chi Chi's collection of velvety soft, highly pigmented eye shadows are easily blended 

to create individual looks. They may be worn sheer or dramatic, wet or dry

 to reflect your mood or desire"  

www.chichicosmetics.com 

 I already have a few Chi Chi Viva La Diva Lipsticks & love all of them!

For an Affordable, "Drugstore" Brand, Chi Chi has some amazing

 formulas & such a massive colour variety to choose from. 

As I said, this is my first Glamorous Eyeshadow Palette from this brand & I'm Impressed!

It was SO hard to pick a palette out of all the choices they offer 

E.g - Naturals, Metallics, Bronzes, Mattes, Taupes, Brights & more!

I finally chose "Nudes" - very similar to Urban Decays NAKED 1 Palette

Each Palette is $22.95 AUD 
Duo Palette Sets $30 AUD  

♥ SWATCHES ♥

These colours are what I tend to reach for everyday.
The shimmers & metallics are so creamy & pigmented when swatched & on the eyes,
 particularly when using your finger to apply.
 Use with a wet brush to enhance intensity & pigmentation!
But the two mattes used for transition/crease shades are slightly chalky & take a little longer to blend.
Overall, I am so impressed with the quality of these & use them most days.
Another amazing product from Chi Chi Cosmetics that won't hurt your bank account!
I love this Awesome Australian Brand!
