THE BIGGEST LASHES EVER?! Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara First Impression

03:00 0 Comments


I tested out the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara for a review on my channel in a new First Impression. (video above) 
Because this mascara promised thick, full lashes with false lash effect, I decided to compare this to my Holy Grail Covergirl The Supersizer Mascara. I love the Covergirl mascara because it gives me lashes that I wish I had - thick, long and separated - and it's super affordable! 

This mascara promises dramatic Volume, Longer Lashes and a Dramatic Look with only one coat! Looking at the photo on the front of the packaging, it also seems to show that you will have a false lash effect. 
I used this mascara for the whole day (over 10 hours) so I could see how this mascara held up, and I feel like I have mixed feeling about this.


This product is a bit controversial, as I've seen so many reviews where someone either loves it or hates it! I know that I'd probably be on either end of the spectrum, which made me more excited to test it out and give my overall opinion. 




I like the way that this mascara makes my lashes look - thick and full with a false lash effect. During the 10 hours of wear, it didn't smudge or break off, and my lashes held their curl. 

Saying this, I had to use 3 coats of this for my lashes to actually look any good! With all mascaras, I don't do 3 coats as the most I do is 2. After 3 coats, the mascara can start to make he lashes look clumpy and spidery, and it just doesn't look that good at all. With this, it really didn't look clumpy, and it did almost the same as what it showed on the packaging - beautiful full lashes. 

I would have liked it to give me title more volume - as I usually get more volume from my $5 Covergirl mascara, but it did look nice during the day. 


I found the wand to be way too big! I couldn't really do my bottoms lashes with the wand because of how big it is, and it just ends up getting messy! If I was to use this everyday, I'd probably; end to use a different mascara for the lower lashes. 


Would I spend £19/$23 on this mascara? I don't think I would. I think because I know that my Holy Grail mascara gives me the same amount of volume, separates my lashes more and is super affordable, I think I actually prefer that one - plus, it's a quarter of the price, so you wouldn't be breaking the bank by repurchasing it! 
Also, as you need to use 3 coats of this to give you the effect it promises, I don't think the bottle would last that long, as you need to use a lot of iron each lash. 

I've been testing this mascara out for the past week to see if In can make up my mind, and I do really like it, but I'm still not sure if I prefer my Covergirl mascara over this. 

Pros:
Holds the curl all day.
Makes my lashes super log, full and thick. 
Doesn't clump.
Doesn't flake. 
Good formula - not too dry or too wet. 
Nice packaging. 

Cons:
You need to use a lot of the product to get the look promised - 3 coats. 
Very expensive. 
Wand is too big. 
Very messy on the bottom lashes. 
Won't last very long, as you have to use a lot of the product. 


Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

08:27 0 Comments


Hi guys,
If you have recently been watching my channel, you will know that I have uploaded a new Makeup revolution Haul this week.

I am slightly obsessed with Makeup revolution, and always have to place an order in when they have new products released.

I recently took advantage of a 20% off offer which they are holding for everyone who is subscribe to their newsletter - you even get 20% off of sale products too!

My haul is above for you, so you can see all of the products which I purchased. I have also added swatches on all of the palettes which Purchased so you can see the pigmentation of them.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Redemption Palette Iconic 3 

This palette contains 12 shades in rose gold, gold and brown shades. I have seen so many blog posts comparing this to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, and I have to say that it is pretty much identical. 

As you can see from the swatches, the matte shades are not as pigmented as the shimmer shades, but they are all super beautiful and buttery, and they blend like a dream.







Shades 1-6 with no Primer

Shades 7-12 with no Primer



I Heart Chocolate Palette

This palette contains 16 shades - 5 Matte and 11 Shimmer. I have seen many people comparing this to the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, and I have to say that the similarity is uncanny. They literally look exactly the same! 

From the swatches, you can see that, again, the matte shades aren't as pigmented as the shimmer shades, but they still are so beautiful. The blend amazingly, and the pigmentation is literally incredible.

The packaging is amazing, and you can tell that they have put so much thought into it. It makes it stand out so much more than any of the other palettes I have. It literally looks like a melting bar of chocolate, and has a light chocolate scent to it to...Yum! 

This is probably my favourite palette from Makeup Revolution that I own. Love, Love, Love!










Top Row Swatches: (L-R) You Need Love; Piece Me Together; One More Piece; 
Love Torn; Stolen Chocolate 


Middle Row Swatches: (L-R) Thank Friday; More!; Pleasure Girl; Meet Chocolate; 
Unforgivable; Love Divine 


Bottom Row Swatches: (L-R) Smooth Criminal; Love Chocolate; You Need More; 
What A Way To Go; Endorphins Ready


Highlighter Palette - Radiance 

This is a palette containing Makeup Revolution 3 Best Selling Highlighters - Breathe, Exhale & Glow.

All of these highlighters are warm toned highlighters, so are great for summer and for all skin tones.

I have seen many videos and blog posts comparing this palette to the Hourglass Ambient Lighing Palette. I don't agree with this fully, as the Hourglass palette has a two shades which are more pink toned. But both palettes look very similar with their shimmer and texture. 

Exhale is the shade which I believe is best suited for pale skin tones - as it is the least warm toned shade, and is very pale.

Breathe and Glow are perfect if you have tanned skin, a these will enhance your glow, without making you look orange. 

I love that these shades are pigmented and shiny - not glittery. This is great, as you will not look like a disco ball if you over do the highlight, as it is pretty hard to build up too much product.







(L-R): Breathe; Exhale; Glow
