Review: Too Faced "A Few of My Favorite Things" Holiday 2013 Palette

Hi Ladies!

Since many of you have already read reviews on this palette I will be brief. This was the #1 palette that I wanted for Christmas. Too Faced is one of my favorite makeup lines. Their palette shadows are always super pigmented, reasonably priced, and the packaging is always so cute!

Besides the palette, the kit also comes with a cute travel bag, the new Lip Injection Color Bomb Moisturizing Plumping Lip Tint in Bee Sting, and a travel size of the Better than Sex Mascara.

I liked the mascara but at $23.00 its a little bit expensive. I'm not sure yet if I would buy the full size or not. I was scared to try the lip plumper because in some reviews people said it stung hence the color name Bee Sting. I HATED their Lip Injection gloss because of the stinging. I don't really dig lip plumpers for that reason. When I tried it out it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The sting was very mild and tolerable. The color is a pinky nude that is close to my natural lip color. The plumper actually made my lips look a little bit fuller. I will definitely continue to use this product.
