High End Cheek Product Haul

Luxury face products are something I always have my eyes on when I walk through Sephora, but never actually purchased. That is, until recently.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in "Pink Quartz" ($44 at Sephora): This is one of the most beautiful highlighters that I've ever set eyes on. It has this gorgeous gold-pink shift to it that I think will compliment almost any look.

Becca Mineral Blush in "Gypsy" ($32 at Sephora): This is a really soft cool-toned pink. It almost has a hint of lavender in it. I love the formula of Becca powder products. They are super smooth and finely milled.

Becca Mineral Blush in "Sweetpea" ($32 at Sephora): This is what I would define as a darker neutral Blush. I, personally find that on the skin, it looks similar to MAC "Warm Soul". I love the formula of Becca products. They are super finely Milled, which makes blending a dream.

What has been your favorite high end cheek product as of late? Tell me in the comments!

Serena Van Der Woodsen/Blake Lively Makeup Tutorial :)

If you have been following me for any length of time, you would know that I have become shamelessly addicted to Gossip Girl. I'm in the middle of season four and it's about all I think about *hangs head in shame*. It is such a guilty pleasure for me. The makeup and fashion is to die for. I like to think of it as Sex and the City for teenagers.

When I watch any TV show or movie, I keep my eyes open for potential makeup tutorials. Let me know what character you want to see me do next!

Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette Review & Swatches

I have had this palette sitting in my drawer, waiting to be used, for a few days. I have been wanting to play around with it since I got it in the mail, but I was trying to be a good blogger and wait until I got my new camera (Canon Rebel t5i if you're curious) to photograph it. Better late than never, right?

The first thing I noticed when I opened the palette was the smell of chocolate. Each eyeshadow is formulated with real cocoa powder, therefore it smells delicious.

From Left to Right:

Licorice: Deep matte black. This is one of the blackest blacks in my collection (second to only Makeup Geek "Corrupt".

Cocoa Chili: Medium brown with tan shimmer. The shimmer doesn't transfer well onto the skin but it is a beautiful shade.

Rum Raisin: Frosty taupe.

Coconut Creme: matte cream. This shade doesn't show up very on my skin tone.

Pink Sugar: light pink with pink shimmer. This shade was the most surprising out of the bunch. I did not expect to like this at all. Now that I've swatched it, I cannot wait to incorporate this into a look.

Mousse: matte cool toned brown. Perfect for the crease!

Puddin': matte cool toned medium brown.

Caramel: frosty rose gold. More gold than "Bon Bon".

Nougat: matte tan with a purple undertone.

Blueberry Swirl: navy with cobalt sparkle.

Bon Bon: frosty rose gold. More pink than "Caramel".

Truffled: matte medium warm toned brown.

Peanut Butter: matte warm toned brown. Slightly lighter than Makeup Geek "Cocoa Bear".

Hot Fudge: matte dark cool toned brown.

Frosting: frosty medium brown.

Butter Pecan: satin yellow toned highlight shade. 

$49 at Sephora or Ulta.
