I remember when I was younger and I did competitive dance wearing M.A.C. products. They always worked so well with every outfit I had to wear, and I even have some makeup still from back then. They still are in working use and still deliver the same amount of pigment and that is what I love about M.A.C. products. Velvet Teddy has a price point at $17.50 with 0.10 oz. for the standard container and $10.00 with 1.8g/ 0.06 US oz. for the mini.

My Personal Opinion: 
This is a matte formula, yet it is not drying and is very comfortable to wear. It looks matte, but feels a little more like a M.A.C. satin, which is my favorite finish. There is probably cheaper color dupes of Velvet Teddy, but M.A.C.'s luxurious, creamy. long-lasting texture makes it worth the extra money. It looks very natural on my lips and compliments any make-up. Since, this is a natural color on my lips, I only have to reapply after a big meal. Otherwise, it's long lasting on the lips. ♡♡♡

I love how his lip scrubs and liquid lipsticks are very lightweight and moisturizing, because my lips tend to get really dry.

His lip scrubs have a standard price point at $ 12 and have 30G./1OZ. of product in the container. One last feature I would like to point out is his amazing packaging!

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

About the Brand and Background Information:
Pretty is a state of mind for Too Faced founders Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson, makeup is power. They love to inspire women to express themselves and have the confidence to take on the world. I first tested this product out when I got a sample of it with the Too Faced peach products and I decided to try it out. When I did it changed the way I applied my makeup because before I looked one color without any dimension. This was just the right thing I was in search of!

Details:

Go, ahead, indulge yourself. You won't add pounds when you dip into Too Faced's antioxidant-rich, cocoa- licious, zero-calorie bronzer. It is the perfect bronzer since it doesn't have shimmer in it and is matte. The light/medium is nice for a more natural look and the medium/deep is great for a more defined contour. The standard size is $30 and has 0.35 oz and the one I am giving away is $ 15 and has 0.4 oz.

Features/ Benefits:

• Infused with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and signature bronzing pigments to create a unique matte bronzer that neutralizes red and evens skin tone
• Matte Formula: Choose between the original Chocolate Soleil (deep tan) to achieve a perfect sun-kissed, shine-free glow.
• Real Cocoa Powder: The neutral coca shade tones down red and evens skin tones, naturally, while exciting the senses with its signature chocolate scent.
• Vegan friendly
• Paraben free

How to Use:

Sweep bronzer onto face with a brush. Contour under the chin and cheekbones to create a slim neckline and thinner face. Swipe a little Chocolate Soleil on the brow bone to give the eyes a lift.

Ingredients:

Talc, Mica, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Zinc Stearate, Boron Nitride, Sodium Saccharin, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Phenoxyethanol, Silica, Benzyl Benzoate, Parfum/Fragrance, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Fruit Powder, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Benzyl Alcohol. May contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Manganese Violet (CI 77742).

My Personal Opinion:

I enjoy this product because it blends easily without it appearing cakey. It has great pigmentation and it is long-lasting. The Chocolate Soleil looks very natural and smells delicious. They also come in other colors for fair and darker skin tones. My personal favorite way I like to use this is for eye shadow. I have all the shades even though I am fair for that sole purpose. I love how it is buildable if you want a harsher more defined look or soft is you want a more natural bronzed look. ♡♡♡
