A quick haul this month! Amazingly, I’ve been doing pretty well with sticking to my low buy! (Actually had a few moments in the past few months where I felt totally inundated by makeup so that definitely helped to curb my spending!)
The standout product this past month had to be the Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly palette. I was all kinds of stupid excited for this palette because I was madly in love with the Peanut Butter shade from the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette and I love that they expanded on that idea to make an entirely new product!
The warm shades in this palette, combined with the purples, really just make this palette for me. This is everything I could’ve hope for in a PB&J palette and I’m very seriously considering picking up a backup because it’s limited edition! (Sadly, the PB&J palette is only available in the USA via Ulta. I was lucky enough to have Shawna of Spill the Beauty order it and have it delivered to her US address!)
I have a Challenge Week coming up on Friday for this palette, but until then, you can check out my YouTube tutorial using it as well!
More Too Faced! I hadn’t purchased the Chocolate Melted Metallics because the Metallics have just never really been my thing (even in my recent review, I was pretty upfront about that), but I somehow ended up with all of the shades anyway! Katherine of The Green Bows, was super sweet and gave me two of the shades since she said she wasn’t inclined to wear brown shades anyway, the third shade I managed to snag in my gift bag at the Toronto Too Faced VIB Rouge event that Laura (of Lipstick and Laura) took me to. Talk about lucky!
This next one was also an unexpected gift from Katherine! She said she already had one of the Charlotte Tilbury‘s Wonder Glow and offered me a brand new unopened bottle of it. WOW! Charlotte Tilbury packaging kills me every. single. time.
The last item of the month is really just a replacement item since I’m close to finishing up my currently being used NYX Micro Brow in Taupe. NYX is now available in Shoppers Drug Mart, so I grabbed it when it was on sale. I’ve been overly lazy with my brows lately and while I prefer using a promade on them, this pencil is just soooo much faster for whacking on my eyebrows in the morning!
That’s it for this month! April should be… interesting, to say the least. I’m eagerly looking forward to IMATS New York as well as finally getting my hands on the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette!
EDIT:
I got me that glorious Sweet Peach palette!
I’ve barely even touched it, but dang is it ever pretty!
OMG, Chelle! I think I need an intervention!!! Ever since I joined E-bates, I have been addicted to online- makeup- shopping… Mostly Sephora. I am soon gonna hit VIB Rouge status and it’s only April! Yikes! Anyway, just wanted to say that I love, love, love your blog and youtube channel. It’s such a fun escape from the day to day monotony of life… even if you inspire me on a daily basis to further feed my unhealthly, sick, and twisted obsession with makeup… hehe
Hah, I know the feeling Inga! I’m so glad you’re loving Ebates – it’s nice to get something back for spending all that money isn’t it?
Thank you so much for your sweet comments! I really love doing both the blog and YouTube so it’s really gratifying when people are enjoying the content I’m putting out!
My Sweet Peach palette should be arriving today… and I’m clockwatching for the mail man like a crack addict.

I know… I’m dying over everything they’re releasing and I can feel my blog becoming very Too Faced-centric because I just loooove everything they’re putting out!
A small but powerful haul!! SO many goodies in there. Can’t wait to see your peach looks!
Hahaha I love that: “small but powerful”. Cuz that’s exactly what it was! I’ve already done two peach looks and I’m obsessssed.
Ahh, a Too Faced bonanza! So many gorgeous new offerings this month. And so curious about how you like Wonder Glow!

A Too Faced bonanza for sure!
I’ve tried the Wonder Glow a few times, but I don’t notice much difference on my skin. Have you used it?
No, I haven’t! I’ve heard mixed reviews (and am always tempted by CT products), which is why I was curious! Too bad it’s been ‘meh’ for you!

Did you want me to depot some for you? I may have a little container around at home I can put some in for you if you want to try it out!
That would be awesome, Chelle- thanks! If you have a little container, you can bring it Friday and I’ll give it a go in NYC 🙂

Perfect! I’ll see what I can dig up at home.
