Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Bonding: First Impression

 I picked this up when I went to Ulta on Tuesday, primarily because Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy was a total miss for me. I wouldn't bash it because I know a lot of people that like it, but it worked for a couple days then became incredibly "clumpy" and my eyeshadow balled up. So needless to say, I wanted another eyeshadow base that made my eye shadows/ glitter pop and adhere so well. I heard about they released it, and saw it and gave it a try. 

First Impression on this, it has the same feel as TFSI the regular one, but it is a tad pinker toned, and it is slightly stickier. It also has a very, very faint smell. But it is noticeable. Nothing crazy or that would irritate sensitive eyes, it goes away once it is on the skin. I like the packaging, I have always liked Too faced primers packaging. The holo glitter on the package where it says "Glitter bonding" is a nice touch as well :P In the last picture you will notice that I tried it out with an Eyekandy Glitter and on one side it is normal Too Faced Shadow Insurance and then next to it is the glitter bonding on! Amazing right? I will update once I test it out for a while :)

TOP 10: Best Buys of 2010

Merry Belated Christmas Everyone! Today I thought I would reflect upon some of the best beauty purchases I have made this year. I thought it was very hard to pick though, I mean it has been a long time since January and honestly I can't remember if i bought some products this year or last year :/ I am pretty sure that these products I am mentioning in this post are from the year of 2010. Enjoy!

#1: Too Faced Shadow Insurance

This has solved all of my eyeshadow woes. Before I used Urban Decay Primer Potion, yes I am a convert, and I decided to try this because I saw some of my Favorite people on Youtube love it. So I tried it and I will never go back to that stinky Urban Decay stuff. I am in love <3

#2: Shu Uemara Eyelash Curler

This eyelash curler is the best I have tried. I have tried about 6. Ranging quality wise, and this one is the best. Can I describe why? No. Why not? I don't know. Can I just say because it is?

#3: MAC Lip Liner in Burgandy

Yummy! I love red lipsticks and liner and this one is just awesome. Gives that real "I just drank your boyfriends blood" or "I just murdered a cherry". I think I like this because it looks striking against my lilly white skin, and creates an awesome contrast. The formula is very nice to!

#4:Dior Show Mascara

My first High end Mascara! I love everything about this! The wand is very thick and full in bristles and gets every lash. The formula is great as well! I will say when I first got this mascara I hated it. Just shows that you give everything a second chance. Applying the mascara is a technique, not hard but acquired through application.

#5: Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer in Porcelain

This concealer was really just something to tide me over because I needed a new concealer and needed to stop mourning over my BELOVED Makeup Forever Full cover concealer in #2. Thank you for discontinuing only my shade in the united states and making it permanent everywhere else in the world! But I was surprised to find that this is a great dupe for this! It covers extremely well, and matches me well. It smells slightly of paint but you can get over it.

#6: Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper

BEST. EYELINER. EVER. I am so serious. If I had to live with only one makeup product I would pick this. It is so black, and goes on smooth, and you have so much control! It is so easy to put on, and everything i love in an eyeliner in so much more!

#7: Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + in Alabaster

This is my Holy grail foundation. Yes it is full coverage, but I sheer it out with a damp sponge and get about medium coverage with it. It doesn't break me out, goes on lovely, and takes great pictures. Actually helps my skin, believe it or not! Have had this forever, and recently bought my 3rd bottle this year.

#8: Vera Wang Flower Princess

One of my Favorite perfumes! At first I didn't like it on me. I have the kind of skin genetics that scents that smell great in the bottle smell like icky caca on me. And likewise if they smell like icky Caca in the bottle they smell really good on me. This is one of the 3 i have found that breaks the rules and smells good on both me and in the bottle. Very flowery and light.

#9: MAC Dainty Blush:

My favorite blush. I can honestly say that I never wore blush regularly until September of this year, when I realized that I am so pale i look unhealthy and dead if I don't wear it. This blush was the first I liked, and it got me to blush experimentation. This gives me a healthy glow, and this blush is actually glowy and has a shimmery sheen to it.

#10: Fyrinnae Pigments

I finally caved into these babies after so much hype and talk about them. They are so pigmented, shimmery, glittery, buttery, ___insert word__y! They have amazing texture and quality for being sooo inexpensive! The colors are so unique and just.... dreamy!

#11 (Hehe): Rose Fix+

I love this! I sets all of your face makeup so it doesn't look heavy or cakey and gives you a radiant glow to your face. I also gives me a dewy look sometimes (since you are squirting water on your face ;P) which makes it look like you aren't wearing any makeup at all! The rose specifically makes some insignificant difference compared to the normal Fix+ but it does and it is better than the normal one. Again don't know why but it is!

What are your Top 10/11 products for 2010?
