Too Faced Pin Point Mascara ($19.50) is just not a mascara that works with my sparse, all-willy-nilly lashes.
Claim: An extreme defining, volumizing, and lengthening mascara.
Results: Slightly longer, thicker lashes–but that’s about it. It’s not a dramatic difference between my natural lashes and with mascara. When I think “extreme,” I’m definitely thinking about getting close to false lashes status. I think if you have a lot of lashes, this might work better for you than it did for me. With sparser lashes, the mascara has to work pretty hard to get fabulous lashes, IMO. I didn’t experience any smudging or flaking throughout the day, which is always a plus. I doubt I’ll be reaching for this mascara in the future, because I have several that give my lashes better results.
Inspired by the euphoric and intoxicating feeling of new love. The New Romantic Unicorn palette contains everything needed to evoke your inner romantic. Three lovely shadows flirt with a trio of seductively shimmering glosses all meant to be mingled with the kit’s perfectly passionate blush! Create the look of innocent love or go all out glam to inspire an evening of lustful bliss!
What makesit worth it: The shadows have good color pay off, and the selection is versatile enough to give you the ability to create several lovely looks from the three eyeshadows. I think the blush is absolutely gorgeous; it’s a shimmering pink that is almost pale, but not quite, making it excellent for both warm and cool tones. The packaging is cute, so if this is your thing, you’ll love this palette for sure.
Why you might pass on it: If you aren’t a palette fan, then this obviously isn’t for you. The brush with this palette is similar to other Too Faced palettes, but I’d probably never use it myself. Also, with no blush brush, you’d have to dig into your own stash anyway.
From the glam labs of Too Faced comes this beauty kit that celebrates both extremes of your persona. Feeling a little naughty? Then transform yourself into a seductress with the ‘Bad Girl’ palette of sexy jewel-toned shades! Is your inner saint clamoring to get out? Then go naturally nude with the ‘Good Girl’ collection of toasty caramels and sugary beiges. Each palette features three shadows and three glosses. Finally, a makeup option to help your inner attitude bust out!
What makesit worth it: I was swatching this a few times at Sephora, and wow, you really do get amazing shadow pay off in this kit. I was pleasantly surprised at the smoothness of the shadows as well as how lovely the shades turned out on the skin. The glosses weren’t bad, but they didn’t wow me as much as the shadows do (I expect most glosses to be decent in a palette, even if annoying to apply). I think the packaging is adorable, and I love the good girl/bad girl aspect of the dual-sided palette. I like that they include brushes on the side for your application needs, too. I think this is an excellent kit for the price, and it would make a lovely stocking stuffer or gift for a gal pal.
Why you might pass on it: If you aren’t a palette fan, then this obviously isn’t for you. Otherwise, there’s no reason not to get it!
