Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey Palette

Peanut Butter and Honey: Every day Look



Hello everyone! I created this look using the Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey palette. This look is perfect for everyday and it is perfect for fall. 


I primed my lids using my Urban Decay Shadow Insurance primer. 


I then set that with the shade Queen Bee, which is a matte vanilla shade.


I used the shade Honey Buns (which is a matte yellow) and the shade Feelin' Nutty on a crease brush and applied those to the crease.


I used a smaller crease brush and applied Bee's Knees (a dupe for this could be Garnet from the Lorac Pro palette. I applied that to the outer V and blended into the crease.


I applied the shade Bee Sweet to the lid to keep it light.


I moisturized my face using my Farsali Rose gold elixir.


To conceal under eye circles, I used my Dark Circle Concealer from NYX and blended that using the small end of a beautyblender.


I topped that with Born This Way concealer in fair.


For face, I used my It Cosmetics CC+ in Light.


I used my Laura Mercier Secretly Brightening powder and a dry beautyblender to set my under eyes.


To set my face, I used my Physician's Formula powder and a big fluffy brush.


I then used a clean brush and wiped off the excess under eye powder.


For brows, I used NYX brow pencil in dark brown to fill in and essence give me brow in brownie brow to set.


As a brow bone highlight, I used the shade Creamed Honey.


For bronzer, I used my Too Faced Sun Bunny bronzer. (I think this product is past it's prime, I was having a hard time getting some pigmentation. but it is about 3 years old).


For blush, I used Cherry from the UD Gwen face palette.


For highlight, I used Angel from UD Gwen face palette.


I set my face using my Mario Badescu Rose Water spray.


I used my Tarte Amazonian Clay gel liner in black and lined the upper lash line (I skipped the wing this time).


For mascara, I combined Benefit's Bad Gal mascara and L'oreal Waterproof Voluminous feline.


I finished off the look utilizing the Lolita II liquid lipstick by Kat Von D. 

I hope you all enjoyed this look! As usual, thanks so much for reading.

Biweekly Makeup Basket

Biweekly Makeup Basket September 18th – October 1st

Hello everyone! Welcome to another round of bi-weekly makeup basket. This week, I will be focusing on the following products:


For the eyes, I will be focusing on my Too Faced Peanut Butter and Honey. I have not used this product since I purchased it off of Hautelook but I am super excited to try it!

For bronzer, I will be focusing on Too Faced Sun Bunny.

For blush, I am going back to my UD Gwen face palette and I will be focusing on the shade Cherry which is the light pink (first one on the top row from the left).

I won't be selecting lipsticks as I have been mostly going with the flow and selecting shades depending on my outfit of the day. 

Stay tuned for my first impressions on this palette and some of the looks that I will be creating!

Do you have this palette in your collection? What are your thoughts?


As usual, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Halo Eye using Tarteist Pro Palette

Halo Eye using Tarteist Pro Palette


Hello everyone! Today I wanted to play around with my Tarte Tarteist Pro palette and attempt to due a halo eye using some of the warm rose-y shades. I really like how it turned out. If you would like to know how I achieved it, keep on reading!

As usual, I began by priming my lids with my Urban Decay primer potion. I set that with the shade classic, a matte vanilla shade.

I then combined the shades mod (a bright watermelon pink) and no filter (a mauve-y shade) into the crease as a transition shade.

I applied the shade drama, which is a matte eggplant color, to the inner corner and then to the outer corner.

Once you do that, it should look something like this: 

For that middle pop of brightness, I used the shimmer shade in glam and applied that with my ring finger to the middle of my lid.

I moisturized my face with my farsali rose water elixir and applied that with my fingertips.

To conceal my under eye circles, I used my NYX dark circle corrector and blended that with the smaller end of my beautyblender.

I brightened that area with my Too Faced Born this Way concealer in fair.

For foundation, I used my It Cosmetics CC+ in light and blended that out with my beautyblender.

To set my under eyes, I used my Laura Mercier Secretly brightening powder and a dry beautyblender.

To set my face, I used my Physician's Formula pressed powder and a big powder brush.

I cleaned up the extra powder from my under eyes.

For brows, I used my NYX brow pencil in dark brown and my essence make me brow in browny brows.

For a brow bone highlight, I used the shade vintage which is a pinky nude matte shade.

For bronzer, I used my Too Faced Sun bunny and applied that to the hollows of my cheeks.

For blush, I used my iSOCiETY COSMETICS blush in lady bug. This is a nice terracotta/reddish blush. A little goes a looong way, particularly if you are as fair as I am.

For highlight, I used Angel from UD Gwen face palette.

I set my face with my Mario Badescu rose water spray. Note: I set my makeup before applying eyeliner/mascara as I don't want to end up with those products transferring to my under eye/cheek area.

For liner, I used my Tarte Amazonian clay pot in black and a bent liner from Makeup Geek.

For mascara, I combined Benefit's bad gal lash and L'oreal waterproof voluminous feline.

I finished off the look by applying UD Vice liquid lipstick in the shade Trivial. This is a nice cool pink.

I hope you enjoyed this look, I certainly enjoyed playing with these shades. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this!
