Too Faced Lockdown Cream Eye Shadow

Too Faced is a good mid-range price line of cosmetics that tends to have some fun and funky shades. Recently, they sent me a sample of their Lockdown cream eye shadow to try.

Too Faced Lockdown is described as a crease proof eye shadow with a Hollywood twist—intense metallic pigments are combined with color. I was sent the shade Jailbait, which is a luminous pink shade:

As you can see, this one really shines. The metallic certainly shows through and it really is quite luminous. The color is quite pretty and the shadow is indeed quite crease proof. It wears nicely and lasted all day for me.  I’m not one who tends to wear an all out metallic eye, so I have usually been wearing this as a highlight in conjunction with some matte or toned down cream shadows. Put a bit in the inside corner of the lid for a fun look, or try putting a bit in the middle of your lid for a bright pop of highlight that will really open up your eyes.

Lockdown retails at around $18.50

Mascara Monday: Too Faced Lash Injection

Too Faced Lash Injection Too Faced Lash Injection iconis a mascara that, as long as you carefully wipe the brush before use, gives very nice length and medium volume to the lashes.

I tend to not care for the big thick brushes, so Too Faced made me happy right off with the slightly smaller brush on its Lash Injection. The brush also works great at defining the lower lashes. The formula gives good length and volume, but I did get a bit of clumping when I wasn’t overly careful. The little brush tends to pick up extra mascara, so wiping it is a definite must!

I have also read some reports of this one flaking off for some people. I didn’t have problems with that though.

By the way, Too Faced also makes some of the cutest affordable makeup palettes on the market. so if you go browsing their mascara, take a look at their other items as well!

Two Faced Naughty and Nice Palette

The Two Faced Naughty and Nice Palette is a cute and fun way to get two entirely different looks. This palette comes with a slide out drawer holding a lip and eye applicator and two separate sides of eye and lip makeup.  The “nice” side of the palette consists of neutral cream and browns with a bit of shimmer. The “naughty” side has a pretty violet shadow shade, along with a silver and sparkly black. It also has more vibrant lip shades.

I like Too Faced products, especially their eye shadow. The pigmentation is good and they wear well. The lip shades in this kit are a bit sheer, especially with the lighter shades.  Below are swatches of both the naughty and nice palettes.

This palette is featured in episode one of the Home shopping Network’s online series Faces of Beautiful You. In that episode, Nicki and Smith share the secret of the “transition outfit” as Hallie prepares for a blind date. The Too faced Palette is certainly good for making a day to evening transition!
