Too Faced Love Sweet Love Set

Recently I went to Ulta and got this set from Too Faced and I've been obsessed with it. This is the description of it from Ulta's website:
 
Description
A collection that celebrates the notion that life is never sweeter than when you're in love. With that spirit, Too Faced created 2 romantic looks, complete with flirty eyes, flushing cheeks and seductively pouty lips; one look for day and another for night. Sweet Value: $130 value for only $46!
  • Book of Love: 6 eye shadows, 2 blushes, 2 lip glosses
  • Full-size Lashgasm Mascara
  • Deluxe Shadow Insurance
  • Deluxe Perfect Eyes Eye Liner in Perfect Black
  • Half-ounce Primed & Poreless Face Primer
  • Exclusive Teddy-Bear-Hair Multi-Purpose face brush
  • Exclusive gold embroidered velveteen make up bag
  • Day to Night: Two complete, romance-inspired looks for day and night

  • As you can tell you get so many products! I enjoy getting kits and sets before buying full sized products because as most of you know, they're insanely expensive (for those of us who aren't doctors or lawyers). You get decent sized products and if you don't like the way it performs, guess what, you have other products to try! Also, you typically get a nice clutch or bag with it! So that's my rant for kits. Onto this specific one...

    First of all, I LOVE the bag it comes with. It's a blue/aquaish color and is very soft and actually a decent size! It says Too Faced on it as you can see in the picture and it's perfect for traveling when you only need to bring a few products.
    The eyeshadow book comes with really nice, rich, pigmented colors. The book itself is gorgeous and fun to display on a vanity! I couldn't get a good picture of the shades but basically there's too looks they suggest you create with the 6 shadows. The first being a romantic daytime look with nice shimmery gold shades which I love using, they brighten up your eyes a lot! The nighttime look is nice too, with a dramatic black to use for defining your eyes! The blushes and lip colors are also very useful however my favorite part is the shadows.

    The mascara it comes with is also very nice and the size makes it perfect to carry in your purse or... you can put it in your new Too Faced makeup bag when you travel! :D
    You also get a generous sample size of shadow insurance with I thought was a very very good size, it's like the size of any other eye primer I've ever purchased! I have noticed it makes it a lot easier when applying shadows and definitely helps the shadow last.
    The eyeliner I haven't really tested in regards to its lasting power or smudge-proof...-ness, but I do like it and it glides on very smoothly when applying, and I also use it on my lower lash line, and it's very hard to find a liner that is able to do that and still look nice.
    The Primed and Poreless face primer feels great on your face, and when used with the right foundation I think it really does help create a flawless finish. I used it underneath Kat Von D's new Lock-It Tattoo Foundation which I might do a review on soon... and it did create a flawless face.
    The face brush is nice, I use it for blush because of it's shape, I prefer to use buffing brushes for foundation and big powder brushes to apply powder (Check out ELF's Studio Brushes to find the ones I use) and typically an angled blush brush for blush and bronzer. However the brush is actually very very soft so it does work well.

    Overall I think this set is a great asset to anyone's collection who enjoys makeup and trying products. It's $46, which is expensive to me but you get so much with it, it really is worth it. It's a lot less than heading to Walmart and trying to buy similar products. It would also make a great gift for any makeup lover in your life! The packaging is all done for you! The box it comes in also looks very nice as I think they're kind of meant to be given as gifts (or gifts to yourself, right?). So if you're feeling like you need some spice in your makeup collection, save some money, wait for some coupons or coupon codes and check it out!
