Chocolate Bar - Too Faced

Hey peeps!!

How are you today? I hope your week is going great so far. Today I went out for the first time since NYE which I had a lovely time. We met my sister and my 11 month old niece; Ciara for lunch out.

In this post I want to chat a little bit about the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette. I received this as a Christmas present off my sister and brother-in-law. I love it! The appearance of the palette is very different to my other palettes that I have and it stands out in a good way. As soon as you open the case, you can smell the cocoa from the shadows. It's nice and refreshing to have a palette that smells delicious! In the lid of the palette, it has the mirror which I think is great and just the right size to do your eye makeup.


I've already used quite a few of the shades such as the White Chocolate which is brilliant for inner corners. All the shades are nice and warm toned so I'm finding it's perfect for autumn/winter season. A favourite shade of mine has to be the Cherry Cordial! For anyone who knows what I like and this is like a burgundy shade. It has both matte and shimmery shades. You could easily use several shades to create a smokey look.

The shades in the palette are;
▪️Gilded Ganache
▪️White Chocolate
▪️Milk Chocolate
▪️Black Forest Truffle
▪️Triple Fudge
▪️Salted Caramel
▪️Marzipan
▪️Semi-sweet
▪️Strawberry Bon Bon
▪️Candied Violet
▪️Amaretto
▪️Hazelnut
▪️Creme Brulee
▪️Haute Chocolate
▪️Cherry Cordial
▪️Champagne Truffle

Would you like to see me create a few different eye looks with this palette? I could do another blog post or show you in a video on my YouTube channel, just let me know what you would like.

I found all the shades to be easy to apply as they feel creamy and they blend so well. They feel light on the lids too.

 Below is a few swatches for you to see...








Cherry Cordial. Strawberry Bon Bon. Candied Violet. Hazelnut. Salted Caramel and Gilded Ganache.  I must apologise but I'm unable to remember which is the other one that I did a swatch of. I do think the Strawberry Bon Bon needs to have a bit more applied but it could be great for using in the middle of your lid. The others are all pigmented brilliantly.

I would definitely recommend this palette to you all especially those of you that are chocoholics like me. Trust me, I'm sure you'll end up wanting some chocolate for real after using this palette!! 😜

Anyway that is enough from me for today and I thank you for reading this blog post. I hope to see you back soon. Take care and keep smiling no matter what is thrown at you in life!! xxx

Child Prodigy

Image
It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

Dating and Disability

Hi peeps!! How are you doing? I hope you're all keeping well and that life is treating you with love and kindness.  As I've been watching ITV2's Love Island and have continually be surrounded by couples whether it's friends, family or even celebrities, it's really made me think about dating.  Everyone makes it seem so easy and I know it's not, but that's how it looks to me. I'm thirty-two and it's been way too long (much longer than I dare to admit here!) since I dated anyone. I feel it's definitely gotten harder for me. In the last four or five years, my health has deteriorated which means I no longer go out on nights out, I don't go to any clubs and there's rarely a chance for me to meet anyone. Although when I used to go out night-clubbing; meeting someone who was heavily intoxicated, really didn't do any favours and it wasn't my preferred way of meeting someone. A few friends have suggested trying out dating apps/site
