when i first got into makeup, i had no idea what i was doing. let me re-phrase, i had no idea how to apply foundation the right way, properly do eyeliner, i had no idea which makeup brands were the best, what brushes contoured the cheek bone correctly, and so on. but for some reason, i loved doing makeup. as time went on, i learned how to apply foundation, properly do eyeliner, which makeup brands are the best, and i now know which brushes do better with what i'm trying to do. one of my favorite makeup brands that played a key role in me falling in love with makeup is too faced cosmetics; i adored how cute their products were (and still are)! i remember one of the first products i bought from them was their melted lipstick. so i've compiled a little list of all my favorite too faced cosmetics!

1) too faced totally cute eye shadow palette 

totally cute is the first eye shadow palette i ever bought from too faced, and if you can't tell from how much is left in the shooting star shade, i love it. i had previously tried some of their other products, but didn't know what to expect in an eye shadow palette. needless to say i wasn't disappointed. personally, i wasn't a big fan of all the other colors but they actually come in handy. obviously my favorite shade is shooting star because it's so simple and can go with anything. this shade is also a shimmer, so it adds a little more to my eye.

2) better than sex mascara

so i've talked about this mascara before here, but it's a too faced favorite. i really like how dark it makes my lashes look. the darker, the better. better than sex mascara also adds so much volume to the lashes, which i like.

3) too faced melted lipstick in melted peony

my very first too faced cosmetic!! personally, i'm not a big fan of lipstick, glosses, or anything. i don't particularly like how sticky some go on, or clumpy, but the melted lipstick isn't too shabby. i bought this product in the shade of melted peony, which is like a light pink that goes well with my skin tone. my first reaction i didn't like it because of the way it came out (does that make sense), i prefer wands just because it seems easier. the melted lipstick goes on smooth and isn't sticky or clumpy. the lipstick also stays on well and doesn't dry my lips out! this is definitely a favorite.

4) hangover replenishing face primer 

i never used to prime my face, i would literally just brush my foundation on and go on with my day. of course i learned. the too faced hangover replenishing face primer is a great primer. it goes on smooth and helps refresh me. another great thing about hangover is how it smells like coconut--it smells so good, like you're at the beach.

5) too faced sweethearts blush 

last but not least, is too faced's sweethearts blush in sparkling bellini. up until most recently, i didn't use blush in fear of looking like a clown but as i mentioned before, i now know what to do (lol). this is one my overall favorite makeup products, i love how it shimmers so it's not just a plain pink. and the sweethearts blush comes with three shades, lined next together. the colors blend nicely together, creating a nice shade that goes on smooth and not overwhelming.

when i have a sephora gift card, too faced is the first section i go to. too faced is honestly one of the best makeup brands i know of, and if you're looking to buy something new from them or just in general, these are, in my opinion, the best buys. i hope this helped!!!
