Last Christmas, Too Faced released 2 bite-sized eyeshadow palette that looks on par with each other :

Christmas Coffee & Forbidden Fruitcake. I was actually looking for a simple eyeshadow palette before came across with these two. Ended up with the latter one instead. Packaging wise, Christmas Coffee is definitely way much cuter therefore outshined Forbidden Fruitcake. It's somehow cruel to read many reviews said the packaging look kind of gross despite the name and I have to agree somehow that it's not visually attractive especially at first sight. But just like book, you don't judge by it's cover ,right? Moreover, the design team themselves likely aware of this issue in the first place. No wonder they specifically put stamp "nobody loafs me" on the front box. Perhaps it's a part of empathy marketing strategy, no? For now, let's take a look more of it.

It consists of 8 shades - 4 mattes, 4 shimmers. I just love the combination between rum for the hills, nobody loafs me, hatters gonna cake are super wearable for everyday use . It creates a casual eye look yet still bold. While Frosty Buns, Candied Pineapple ,Cherry, and Forbidden Fruitcake are actually softer than it looks when applied ,visible enough without being too flashy.

On texture side, it's pretty decent with minimal fall out. Pigmentation level is 8/10 It's blends well both using fingertips or a brush. and Not chalky which impressed me , unlike the old Chocolate Chips palette that I reviewed before .I gotta admit for such price and compact size ,it makes a good deal and can be perfect present for someone who seek an all -in starter palette that has value for money.

So yeah, that's sum up my quick impression on this palette. Love it or leave it? All depends on what you seek in eyeshadow palette , a mere packaging visual or versatility. But as for me, the latter one wins :)

review toofaced matte chocolate chip eyeshadow

I always wanted to own an eye shadow palette from this brand, Too Faced since I've read too many good reviews both on blog and video, especially the chocolate bar series. I was juggling between the chocolate bar or chocolate bons-bons yet i gave up because that it contains shimmery colors which is not so-me , a matte junkie.How good is that if all of them were matte..? i was thinking like that to myself and wow ,like suddenly, they really made my wish comes true! Here's the recent all matte palette and still, inspired by original chocolate bar palette ; Too Faced Chocolate Chip Bar Matte Eye Shadow

TOO FACED Chocolate Chip Bar Matte Eyeshadow

original price : around USD 26

Where to get : TooFaced US site

It's kind of hard get this item in Indonesia.luckily, with help from a local online shop , they can pre ordered this palette for me all the from US.The downside is only about price. It's more expensive due to shipping fees ,etc ( around IDR 500k ) But I'm happy to get this item handy like finally, so that I can kill my curiosity lol.

really love the design
tho it's just so small, just like the size of my palm hand,it's absolutely travel friendly

Same with any chocolate bar series ,Too Faced Chocolate Chip Bar Matte contains real infused cocoa powder that's why the smell is just like a real chocolate.

Inside, there's 11 matte colors in warm tones,And just by looking at it, I can mix match each other into different looks already. My fave shades is matte marzipan , which is mix of peach - dusty pink , along with matte cherry cordial ,simply because it's the most pigmented among all.

taken after using eye primer , sorry i can't capture white chocolate and matte champagne truffle because the color payoff are too low even after eye base / primer *__*

C O N C L U S I O N

I actually wanna give 4.5 out of 5 ,considering the concept,packaging, and design ..Yet, after all it's back to the quality,right? I just drop the rating to 3.5 out of 5. The pigmentation is very sheer if you don't use primer,and i hate the fact that it's quite dry and patchy..Shades like strawberry bon bon and matte champagne truffle are strangely too powdery than the others *sigh* .Fall Out level is just so - so while i was expecting it to be zero.I guess i'm putting too much hope on this palette just bc of the brand and appearance while forgetting all about user experience.Yet, I can't say it's not worth to buy. I guess it still work for you who want to play and explore with matte colors without looking too bold,moreover,i guess it's kind of hard to create total smokey eye look just by using this palette. However,for all matte lovers, how can you not get 11 in 1 in such price?in the end, that reason is what makes me less dissapointed.

february beauty make up skincare favorites

Hello ! Time for another monthly faves, like what I said on last month post, I try to be content on posting favorites once a month. As for myself,It's a part of learning to be more organized and grateful more.For you as reader, maybe you can get some insight about what made me decided to buy certain items plus telling you quick review about my newest- recommended picks. Let's start, February 2017 Favorites 💖

💙 The FaceShop Real Nature Facial Mask 💙

For more than 2 years, I've been using facial mask regularly from different brands (both Japanese and Korean) and so far, my favorites is from The FaceShop. Any kind of their mask successfully revitalize my skin.These two are absolutely budget friendly too.On top of that, these two is formulated without added parabens.

💙 Too Faced Chocolate Chip Bar Matte Edition 💙

My heart was literally scream when Too Faced released this limited mini edition of Chocolate Bar Eye shadow Palette. I planned to buy Too Faced Bons Bons but I kinda hesitated to throw lot's of bucks over a product that I'm not really familiar with.At least, with this Mini Version ,I can test whether I'll invest on their normal size eye shadow bar or not.And now,my answer is... Yes! I'll write about full review and swatches soon,maybe next month 😉

teh faceshop haul cc cushion ultra moist review

💙 The FaceShop CC ULtra Moist Cushion V201 💙

My first CC Cushion, I bought the refill tho because I still can use my old OCWC case and it comes with a cushion puff too..I liked it better than the OCWC because it literally has a smooth natural glowing finish that can last for day with medium coverage!

fkate tokyo japan foundation concealer best haul

💙 Kate Tokyo Powderless Liquid Foundation & Stick Concealer 💙

My fave Japanese liquid foundation all time, that's why I bought the stick concealer too and it works awesome ! I like how the concealer is a stick type just like a lipstick and not runny at all but creamy, if you feel like it's way too creamy just add some water on your brush and apply lightly in patting motion. Both are so light and economical too so it's perfect for travel ,make them easy to toss inside make up pouch.

💙 Flormar Nail Polish Enamel💙

Flormar just opened their first store in my city and I just grab one because why not, the price is reasonable and super pigmented and dry quickly too.I'm in the mood of pink especially a soft of barbie pink so this nail polish kinda boost my mood throughout this month of love !

last but not least,
It's not beauty related tho, but it's one of the highlight of the month..

I just got a Chihuahua !

After debating myself for years to pet or not, I finally get this cutie apple head chihuahua 😁💕 say hello, her name is チワ // short term of 'chihuahua' because I can't think any and that name just pop out on my head when I see it wagging its tails at the first time meet.It's quite shy but so playful and loves snuggle, move a lot so kinda hard captured it directly looking at my camera, hahaha.
