Too Faced Primed and Poreless..... magical?

Good Morning Chicas!

As usual, I woke up with the damn cows and showered. I live in Ohio, and because of that. it was absolutly freezing. We got hit with a pretty big snow storm lastnight and an ice storm earlier in the day. Regardless, this isnt about my travels in blizzard like conditions. It is however about my love of beauty products. I am setting out on this journey to continuously review products. Mostly what I consider to be the "best", but there will be other not so good products as well. When I think something is hands down, amazing, it gets two thumbs up and 5 stars.

So on to the product of the day..... Too Faced Primed and Poreless Face Primer. Again, I have had this product that I am reviewing for quite some time and the packaging isnt always the best looking. So I have used a picture from their website. Because of this blog however, with all my future purchases, I will take pictures and swatches so I can show you.
I work in a pretty comfortable atmosphere. I have a desk job, and the climate is fairly nice. However, I tend to get hot easily. Ok, lets be real, I sweat a lot. Gross I know. But hey Im honest. I also work about 12 hours a day. I do not have time to touch up my makeup, and I need what I spend time putting on to last all day. To atleast get me through my work day. I do not have an oily face. actually for being 26, I have extremely dry / dehydrated skin. I also have an issue with makeup not lasting too long. I have tried a huge array of primers. From drug store to high end. (Mac, Tarte, Rimmel, Covergirl, BodyShop, Benefit, and Hourglass). I have finally found something that is "Holy Grail" status. The Primed and Poreless Face primer by Too Faced is awesome. It holds my makeup like no other. It has such a silky smooth texture, filling in my pores and fine lines. I am just amazed with Too Faced lately.

Too Faced has several primers. I am so eager to try them all. Again this is another great product from a great company. So what does that mean?! Well this gets 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

I have several other reviews that I will be posting in the coming days. Yes the last 2 have been reviews on products I highly recommend. However, will my reviews always be on products I recommend? I think you will need to stay tuned to see!!

Too Faced Brow Envy Kit = AMAZING!

Damn, Monday morning already?!?! Where does the weekend go?? Anyone do anything exciting? I must admit, the most exciting part of my weekend may have been re shaping my brows. I bought the Too Faced Brown Envy Kit which I forgot to take pictures of the before sticking my grubby hands in to the products. So I used the picture from the Too Face Official Website.

Brow Envy Shaping & Defining Kit

This kit is UNBELIEVABLE! I actually had it for some time and I either didn't know what I was doing. or was too lazy to take the time to figure things out. I love that this kit has EVERYTHING you could need to have the perfect shaped brows. From stencils, and wax, to brow powders, highlighters, tweezers and spoolie. It is definitely a kit that is worth the money. So now on to my furry caterpillars / eyebrows. I know they say that no one has two perfect shaped natual brows. But holy cow. I looked like two different people if you looked at me from either side. One brow was short and bushy with no arch, and the other was long, sparce, and high arch. There honestly was NOTHING similar about my brows. I would fill them in with a a brow pencil and set them with a little clear gel. I really wish I had someone tell me how ridiculous I looked. So I took about 20 minutes (yes, with this kit it took me less than 20 minutes to completely reshape and groom my brows!!!!! Perfect for a mommy! ) and used the stencil to  to fill in my brows. I had to figure out where to start the stemcil. I yused an extremely dark pencil and colored in where the stencil was. I then plucked everything outside of the dark hair. I did that on both sides. I then took a makeup remover cloth and wiped it off. Wa la!!! Awesome, even brows!!! I couldn't be happier. Getting in to the beauty community, I have always heard that brows help to frame your face. I was never big on that but now that I have this kit, and it did wonders on me, I am a huge fan of brows. I have even tried other brow products. The anastasia brow powder was pretty expensive and it honestly didn't compare to this.
This product gets 5 stars and two thumbs up without a doubt!!!

So is it lame that this was super exciting to me?! LOL! I hope you all have enjoyed your weekend and I will be back tomorrow with another amazing Too Faced product. Primed and Poreless Face Primer!
