Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush

This Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush was released for Valentine's last year, and I think it might still be available online. I bought this around last summer but didn't get around to using it until now. This is a tri-color baked blush housed in a heart-shaped paper carton that's huge and bulky, especially when the blush itself is less than half as thick as the box!

Too Faced Liquif-Eye

Just a super short review for Too Faced Liquif-Eye since the product had long been discontinued.

This is a clear gel with a pointy tip applicator that allows you to turn any eye shadow into a liquid liner, just dab the applicator tip to the shadow and then line away! Sounds like a really neat concept, right? Just imagine all the possibilities!!!

Too bad it is too good to be true. Sure, the gel will melt the powder shadow into a liquid liner, but it doesn't hold at all and will fade in an hour or so on my lid. And that's not to mention it ruins whatever eye shadow you dip it in, so I had to be careful to dab at the very edge of the pan. Blah, too much work just for a liquid eye liner. I ended up tossing my tube. Meh.
