Too Faced‘s holiday 2013 palette, A few of my Favorite Things, may be considered old news by this point, but this is one of my favourite purchases in the last year. For the sake of this challenge, I was only strictly going to use the eyeshadows.
The challenge week started off with a bang – I was extremely pleased with how this one turned out. Tealy blue-greens always looks really stunning – both in person and in photographs. It’s something about the shiny vibrance of the colour that is just really pretty to look at.
Eyes
- Party Time all over the lid (this colour is a lot more sheer than you expect it to be).
- Blue Satin Sashes on the outer third of the lid and smudged under the lower lash line.
- Pure Glam in a v-shape in the very outer corner and used as a liner on the upper lash line.
- Chocolate Milk at the top of the crease.
Cream Colored Ponies to highlight the brow and L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon mascara on my lashes. MAC Feline Kohl Power pencil on the waterline.
Rest of the Face
- Foundation: CoverGirl CC Cream in 110 Classic Ivory and Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 51 Light Vanilla
- Bronzer: Joe Fresh Sand Bronzer
- Blush: Milani Luminoso
- Lips: Milani Nude Creme
Ehhhhhh not as keen on this one. But I needed something not too bold since I was trying to wear a pretty bright lip colour.
Eyes
- Coquet all over the lid.
- Crisp Apple Strudel on the outer third of the eye.
Cream Colored Ponies to highlight the brow and Dark Chocolate to lightly line the upper lash line. L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara on my lashes.
Rest of the Face
- Foundation: CoverGirl CC Cream in 110 Classic Ivory and Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 51 Light Vanilla
- Blush: Tarte Blissful
- Bronzer: NYC Sun n Bronze in Fire Island Tan
- Lips: Too Faced Bon Bon
And a much better (and brighter) one!
Eyes
- Ooh La Orchid all over the entire lid.
- Snowflakes on the center of the lid (really pack this one on – it’s very sheer and very prone to fallout).
- Chocolate Milk to blend out the crease.
Cream Colored Ponies to highlight the brow and Sephora Full Action Extreme Effect Purple mascara on my lashes.
Rest of the Face
- Foundation: none
- Bronzer: Joe Fresh Sand Bronzer
- Blush: Wet n Wild Pearlescent Pink
- Lips: NYX Merengue
Another neutral one. This was kind of a “whoopsie” day because I forgot to bring the lip colour I wanted to wear to work and had to make do with whatever was in my drawer.
Eyes
- Buche de Noel all over the lid.
- Dark Chocolate in the outer corner.

This one was really cool. It’s unlike anything I ever do and as I was throwing in the crease colour I was thinking “oh man, this is going to look like hell…” but in the end I really love it. It’s nice to try something different (to me anyway) every now and again. I’m getting into pink crease colours and it’s given a really neat spin on some eye looks lately.
Eyes
- Tinsel on the inner two-thirds of the lid.
- Bluff on the outer two-thirds of the lid.
- Taffy through the crease.

Last one of the week! I was running out of creative inspiration at this point.
Eyes
- Moon on their Wings all over the lid (I put some Too Faced Glitter Glue down before applying this shade since it’s really flakey and glittery).
- Soiree on the outer third of the lid and through the crease.
