Too Faced Naked Eye Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection Review

January 21, 2016November 3, 2012

This palette contains 9 neutral colors, 3 matte shades, 4 shimmer shades, 1 frost, and 1 glittery/shimmer shade. The lid holds three little tutorial cards that show you how to create a few different looks with the palette.

This was the first Too Faced palette that I bought and I instantly fell in love with all of the highlight colors (the larger shades). Most of the smaller shades are great too except for Satin Sheets which is just too frosty for my personal taste and Unmentionables which can have a bit of glitter fallout.

I picked this up when the first Urban Decay Naked Palette was all the rage. I compared them and I found this one to be much more suitable for those with cooler skin tones. Of course, I later caved and bought the UD Naked Palette too LOL.

Ardell 301 False Eyelashes Review

January 21, 2016November 2, 2012

The Ardell 301 false eyelashes are like the 305 eyelashes but they are not as thick or dramatic. They are more appropriate for everyday use and are easy to wear since they are only half lashes. Full lashes then to peel up on the edges, especially near the inner corner of my eye. These don’t give me any problems though. The band is clear and there are individual bundles of lashes along the band, getting progressively longer as you reach the outer edge. These lashes are good for those that want a natural, flirty look. They add just the right amount of length and fullness to the outer half of your natural eyelashes. I’ve been able to get about 3 uses out of a pair before the lashes start to look ragged.
