There’s no better way to sample all of Too Faced‘s bronzers than by getting your hands on their bronzer wardrobe: The little Black Book of Bronzers. I think this was limited edition, although I see it go randomly in and out of stock on Sephora’s web site and on TooFaced.com.
Too Faced The little Black Book of Bronzers
To my knowledge, this includes every single bronzer that Too Faced carries in a full size format (oops, maybe not, I see Bronzed & Poreless on their site, but it’s not in this palette). To make everything even more appealing, three of them smell like chocolate!

This was the first Inglot and palette and the shadows have remained some of my favourites! I got this palette in Dublin while on vacation in Ireland several years back (before Inglot was in Toronto) and I was soooo excited to finally get my hands on these raved about shadows. They do “normal” shades too, but I can’t speak highly enough about their colours. They’re pigmented, easy to work with and they’re the shadows I always go back to when I need colour that just WORKS. AMC Shine 15 and Matte 382 are my absolute favourite colours of eyeshadow – EVER. You can see my other Inglot mattes-only palette here.
For Holiday 2015, Bourjois has 5 Shades of Rouge for you to sift through to find your perfect shade. And I’ve found a favourite new red shade amongst them!
Bourjois Rouge Edition #10 Rouge Buzz
Bourjois‘ Rouge Edition #10 – Rouge Buzz is an absolute stunner. I put this one on and it completely blew me away. A neon orangey-red that glides on flawlessly and immediately lit up my face! This may be recommended for brunettes, but to hell with that, I love how this looks on me!
Wearing Bourjois Rouge Edition #10 Rouge Buzz
Rouge Buzz wears very, very well. Although it’s creamy, it stayed put on my lips which is hugely appreciated. It’s supposed to last 10 hours while being continuously hydrating. I never wear lipstick that long, but I did find this hydrating for the four or so hours I wore this before I removed it.

Come on. Tell me that isn’t gorgeous??
Bourjois Rouge Edition #05 Red My Lips
The BourjoisRouge Edition #05 – Red My Lips come in an “Aqua Laque” formula. It’s an intense red recommended for blonde hair.
Sidenote: I’m always so iffy on these “recommended for [insert hair colour]” products. If you like the shade, you CAN wear it, no matter what colour it is or who it’s recommended for!

This formula was a bit of a new one for me. It did have some shine to it, but after about 45 minutes it dried down to a bit of a tacky consistency. I had some trouble with application as I found the product would gather up a bit as I put it on and was patchy in other areas.

On the lips, it looks quite like a jelly finish, but I wasn’t in love with how it felt.

Final Thoughts
While Red My Lips was a pass for me, Rouge Buzz has become an absolutely favourite shade of mine. The lipstick barely has a scent and no discernible taste – a HUGE plus for me since I’m often sensitive to scents that are not to my taste. The formula of Rouge Buzz is cushiony and hydrating, which makes this lipstick incredibly comfortable to wear. It’s the kind of product that makes me happy when I wear it, and there’s really nothing more I could ask for in a lipstick!
Let me know if you’ve tried Bourjois lipsticks before! As this was my first introduction to them, I’m interested in hearing what you guys think!
The products in this post were sent to me for consideration.
My love for the Too FacedChocolate Bar palettes knows no bounds. I actually got up at 4 am on launch day to order this (it’s a good thing I did, the palette actually sold out on that day!) and then gritted my teeth as it took over a WEEK to get to me.
Makeup addict status? In full effect.
Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons
Say hello to the third installment in the chocolate palette lineup; the Chocolate Bon Bons palette (I was already lusting over sneak peeks back in SEPTEMBER!). While the packaging of the other palettes resembled a chocolate bar, this one is more… uh… Barbie-themed. (I’m not a fan of the pink packaging as I find it far too girly for my own tastes.)

Packaging aside, while I’m obsessed with the Too Faced chocolate line up, I wasn’t overly enthused by the shades I saw in previews for the palette. However… now that I own it, I take it all back. While it is “yet another neutral palette”, there are some unbelievable colours in here. Cafe Au Lait has stolen my heart. As has Molasses Chip (holy pigmentation). Bordeaux is the kind of shade that makes my heart swoon.
