Review: Too Faced On the Prowl Set

Too Faced On The Prowl Set

This set is one that i had eyed on the shelves of Sephora for months. Then when i finally decided to take the plunge and purchase it, i was so glad i did. The set is made up of a face primer, brush, and palette. The palette contains a blush, bronzer, and brightener. All by Too Faced. The kit can be purchased here.

Leopard Love Complexion Perfection Kit

When i first opened the complexion kit, it was a lot smaller than i expected. I really wanted them to be full sized. The powders are holding up and lasting pretty well though. I also love the packaging, very chic.All these shimmery powders are highly pigmented and blendable. The kit is broken up into three Too Faced leopard products...


Peach Leopard: This is the bronzer in the palette. It is very soft and  smooth. I love the way it applies. Most soft bronzers are hard to get out with a softer brush. With this, that isn't a problem. I tried it with my e.l.f bronzing brush (coarse) and the Flatbuki the set comes with (soft). Both apply the product well. There is shimmer in the lighter brown shade, but it is very fine and barly noticeable when applied. The peach tone in this bronzer is what sets it apart from others. Bronzers with all one dark brown color can be overpowering for fair skinned people. Because i am fair skinned myself, this works perfectly for me. Too Faced claims that this bronzer is corrective. I don't really see that. It is able to warm up the whole face very well but as far as hiding imperfection, not so much.

Candy Leopard:This blush is made up of three colors as well: rose, light pink, and a shimmery champagne-white.This blush is not as soft as the peach leopard so it's harder to actually get out of the pan. Candy Leopard is not sold separately so this product makes the whole palette original.


Pink Leopard: This can be used as a highlight or an all over face brightener. This is the most versatile powder in the palette. It can be used as a highlight, blush and bronzer. My favorite way to use it is to highlight.

Lip Of Luxury Lipstick in Cougar

This is where i believe the set really lacks. The name matches the set because it keeps with the "kitty theme". The color is just not flattering to me. It's mocha brown with very fine purple shimmer throughout. The lipstick itself is also a bit dry. To make this set perfect the brand could have had options on the color or picked a more flattering shade.

Flatbuki

This brush is very soft. It's domed bristles make it an exeptional bronzing brush (which is what i use it for). It's also good for an all over buffing brush, or to apply powder after foundation.

Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer

This first thing that makes this primer different is the fact that it has a tint. Nothing to the power of a tinted moisturizer though. This primer reminds me of the L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base. It has the same silky smoothness and scent. 

For those of you who are not familiar with that primer, it makes the skin very smooth. I like to wear it by itself on days where i'm not wearing a lot of makeup because it makes my skin look very even and soft. 

There's the whole set. I am officially in love with the Too Faced Leopard products now, and i will be repurchasing peach leopard, pink leopard, and the primer.

Overall Rating 4/5

Tell me, have you tried this set? What are your thoughts on it?

Thank so much for stopping by!

CVS Haul

Hey everyone! At 9am this morning i decided to make a CVS run and i came out of the store with all kinds of beauty products. This isn't a huge haul but it is certainly worth mentioning.

Here are the details...

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser 

(Dark Circles)

I heard Ashley Sander on YouTube rave about this product, so i gave in. I am always up for a new concealer. I love concealers and i use them pretty much every day. Since i do have dark circles i figured i could put this to use.

Wet n wild Megalast in Club Havanna

This color is actually a little lighter than it look in these pictures.
This polish was highly recommended by Emily on Beauty Broadcast, so of course i had to try it. The first thing i noticed that was different about this polish was the brush. It's really thick so i'm not sure what effect that will have on the application, we'll see.

Essence of | BEAUTY's Crease Brush Duo

This was another recommendation by Emily. As you can tell, i absolutely love her. I have been searching for "the best" crease brush because my favorite eye look is a smokey eye. They are a bit smaller than i expected. They are not very soft.. at all, and i'm noticing some fall out with the both of them. Like seriously A LOT of fall out every time i touch the bristles. I'm worried about this purchase, but i trust Emily....

Conair 75 pack of black bobby pins

I ran out so i got some more :) I always seem to misplace bobby pins. I got black out of habit because my hair has always been dark. Now that i'm going auburn i may regret that decision. 

Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant 

I have a phobia of smelling bad. I know that's so strange but it's true. So i am really picky about my deodorants and perfumes. Ever since i can remember, i have been trying all sorts of different deodorants. This one is really something different. It lasts the longest and smells amazing. I love love love it! So, of course, i repurchased. 

Conair Styling Essentials for teasing & shaping styles

I am getting my hair cut on Tuesday, and it's going to be completely different. It's going to have shorter choppy layers at the crown and longer layers too. It's hard to explain but i'll post pictures. Anyway, i'll need to have volume in order to make the style work so i got these to help me with that.

The Original Turbie Twist in pink

I have been wanting to try these for as long as i can remember, but i could never find them anywhere in person. I did find some online but they were sort of pricey so i always put it off. I always put my hair in a towel when i get out of the shower. Surprisingly, towels can get really heavy and strain my neck. So after years of that, i am so excited to be able to keep my hair in a towel while i do my face masks and things of that nature. 

Wet n wild Megalash in Very Black

I want to try different mascaras because i'm pretty sure i can count on one hand how many i have tried in my life. After i got it home i read the back, and it's supposed to go with AM and PM serums to make lashes longer and thicker. I'm pretty happy with my lashes so hopefully this wont be a dud by itself. 

So that's it. Let me know if you have tried any of these things and what you thought of them. 

Outfit of the Day: Blues

• The top is from Macy's. The brand is BMX. i love off the shoulder tops, i think they look so girly and super cute.
• These jeans are from Macy's as well. They are the Hydraulic Boot Flare, definitely one of my favorites. 
• The flip flops are for Old Navy

Review: Seacret Mud Mask

I was introduced to the Seacret at my mall. One of the little vendor people had a whole line of the Seacret products. The guy was trying to sell everyone who passed on Seacret's Nail Care Collection. I hastily walked past him to avoid him reaching out and taking my polish off. About the third time i saw him in the mall, i stopped at his booth. He showed me how shiny this stuff could make my nails, i won't lie i was pretty amazed. I went to school that week ranting and raving about how awesome Seacret was. One of my friends ended up buying me the whole nail care kit (which was awesome of him). The stuff was phenomenal! And the lotion that came with it? Wonderful! I was officially hooked.

I had stopped using the kit after high school for some reason and recently picked it up again.

This reuniting lead me to go online to find out what other products they had, and if there were any improvements or additions.  There was! I found their mud masks, and i had to try one out. 

Initial Reaction: OMG this is so exciting my first real mud mask!!!! It's so cute!!

Double Take: ...that smell eugh.. not so cute. 

When i first put it on, it feels really sooth. Then after i let it sit for a bit, it kind of burns. Maybe it's more of an intense tingle, but i can definitely feel it. The smell is something to be brought up. It's really really bad. Almost like actual mud, that's honestly what it reminds me of.


After about two or three minutes, when the mask is dry, it has a cooling effect. It dries very stiff. I personally like that about it, but if you have sensitive skin this mask would not be a good idea.
I would recommend this product for combination to oily skin types because of the way the mask dries on the skin. The burning/tingling feeling when you first put the mask on will irritate sensitive skin. Once past that feeling the mask is quite refreshing. The longer it's worn the better it feels. I'm not sure if that is because i am getting used to the feeling or that it's actually going away. 


After worn for four to five minutes the smell goes almost completely away (thankfully). 
To remove the mask from my face i take a towel, drenched in warm water, and rub in circular motions. It comes off very easily. The cleanness it leaves behind is amazing. i feel as if my face as never been this clean in my life. It also leaves my skin feeling very smooth. It looks as if i put a primer on. 

Should you try this if you have...

• Sensitive skin: no
• Combination skin: yes
• Oily skin: yes
