Too Faced Love Flush Blush Palette Review + Swatches

Hey y'all! Happy Wednesday! 

It again has been a good bit since I last blogged, but college does that to you, definitely keeps you busy! Seeing as today I have some time to spare I decided to do a review post on this new blush palette I recently purchased! 

Now I am not sure if this is limited edition (I hope not so y'all can purchase it too!) but with the words Love Flush and it coming out (I believe) during the Valentine's time I would think it is, but again, I am not too sure! 

Now I had heard and seen Too Faced blushes around Ulta & Sephora but never really caught my eye and I wanted to test smaller portions just in case I didn't like it and when I saw this palette right as I was about to leave Ulta I knew I had to have it! 

First Impression 

My first impression was "oh my gosh what a cute package!" seriously, exact words! It was so bright and cute with all the hearts and gold lettering and little birds on the packaging! Now when I opened it for the first time I liked how the front looked exactly like the packaging and that the back had the names of the blushes and the gold lettering yet again caught me as well! (love gold lettering) It is a magnetic palette meaning magnets close the palette, now normally I like sturdiness when it comes to palettes but I figured well it would be hassle so that didn't really phase me! I loved how they put the blushes in heart shapes and gave the color behind them and the name of the blushes in a readable bold black color and standard font (blind as a bat here!) 

This palette has 6 blushes and I think these are perfect for bringing in the Spring and Summer time! They're subtle and not too harsh at all and they do blend pretty well and is buildable to your preference! 

Swatches 

Love Hangover is such a pretty light pink blush! Definitely a nice color to wear with your Easter dress or when you don't want to wear a blush that can be a bit harsh looking! Definitely gives you a flush of color! 

Baby Love to me is more of a pink with brown tones to it. It is a gorgeous color and definitely a color I would use during the Summer for that almost bronze goddess look! 

I Will Always Love You is a light coral color that I think is both gorgeous and perfect for the Summer time! It could even possibly be a highlight too if you'd like! 

How Deep Is Your Love? (yes, I did sing the song by Calvin Harris & Disciples when I saw the name!) This is the darkest pink that is in this palette and it's just so pretty! It will definitely make your cheeks pop!

Justify My Love is the lightest purple/lilac shade in this palette and I love it! It's not too harsh and it is still noticeable! Never owned a shade like this but I can't wait to try it out! This is such a pretty color that would be great for Spring! 

Your Love Is King is a cranberry color blush and to be honest I was thinking it'd be darker from how it looks I thought it was going to be more of a dark plum, but the color is still very pretty and it's more of a Summer transitioning into Fall color and I love it! 

All in all these colors are really nice, feel velvety, apply well, and are blendable! It gives you a little bit of everything, shade wise, and the size of these blushes is pretty decent, it should last you a good 2 months or even more than that! I'm not at all disappointed in these shades, they're all gorgeous and I think will suit every skin color! 

Price wise this palette is $36.00 and honestly I think it's a pretty reasonable price giving the fact that it's six shades, decent size and gives you a bit of everything so do I think it's worth that much? Personally, yes, but everyone has their opinions! :) 

Now right now it is sold out, but if it comes back in stock soon I would definitely recommend picking one up!

I give this palette a 4/5! Of course there are some cons for me personally, but in all this is a very nice palette, for sure! 

I hope y'all enjoyed this review and hope y'all are having a wonderful Wednesday! 

Are there any products you are wanting to try out?

I Am Very Busy. 2016 Ban.do Planner First Impression / Review

Happy Wednesday, everyone! :) 

So today I'm doing a review on this planner I got from Altar'd State last weekend! 

I got this planner (it's sadly sold out on the ban.do site , but there's a gold and floral one!) on a Sunday while looking around Altar'd State and when I saw it I had to have, it was too cute not to! (I'm a bit of a planner addict!) It's a light pink planner with rose gold font and elastic band! It's a 17- month planner just like my Lilly Pulitzer Agenda! The size of the agenda is 5.5 in. x 8.5 in. so it's the perfect size for on the go, it fits perfectly in my purse and doesn't take up much space which is great! :D 

So when you open the planner you have a sticker sheet and I must say these are some cute pictures. (The "but first, coffee" mug is my favorite, of course!)

Then after the sticker page, there's a "secret code" page! This reminds me of middle school when we made up the most random codes! haha 

As all planners, this comes with a 2016-2017 yearly pages! I also like that the tabs are colorful and not all the same colors!)

It also has a page for special dates, birthdays, etc. I love the title, super cute! 

Again, loving the title because it's so true, holidays are the best days, of course! I like that it's in the beginning because in one of my planners, these were at the very back! 

With every month, there's a different quote and image on the pages! Every page is different and very unique! 

Before getting to the monthly view, you get a couple of pages for notes or anything you feel like jotting down and I love this because I don't have to flip all the way to the back to write in the notes section! 

Here's the monthly view and I like how the holidays are different colors! The boxes are a bit small, but that's not such a big issue to me because I write small to begin with and if I run out of room I can just write in the little notes section on the left side! :) 

Here's the weekly view! They aren't lined like Lilly's, but it's not something I'm picky about, more space and more decorating for me! :) 

 Here are the rest of the months for this year! :) 

September!

October!

November!

Lastly, December!

 As a first impressions/review post, I must say that I am in love with this planner! It's small, lightweight and great for every-day use! I might do a how I organize my everyday planner soon! :) 

Rate: 5/5 

The verdict for this planner is : Stephanie Alexandra Approved! 

Love this planner and I'm so glad I got it! :) 

(P.s. I've filled it out already and it's easy to read and space is great, pen ink doesn't bleed through, all in all a great planner! :D )

What planner are you using this year? Do you use a different planner for life/school/etc?

Happy Wednesday, y'all! Have a great day! :)
