Well, I'd like to say that I do this all the time, but unfortunately, I don't.

Product Review: Tokidoki Polpettina Quad

Let me state once again, in case you haven't gotten it from any of my other many Tokidoki-related posts. I am a sucker for all things adorable, and i find myself getting enticed by pretty much every Tokidoki product made, because of how cute they are. This was no exception. Admittedly, my review might not be the greatest on this, as I feel really dumb for buying it, because the second I opened up the box, I realized that I already had 3 of the 4 colors from the Robbery Palette. Oops. Regardless, I will try to set aside the fact that I basically spent $19 on backups on products that I wasn't even close to needing to worry about running low on, and do the most objective review I could.

The quad is double-layered. The first layer has the eyeshadows in it (LA Gun, Polpettina, Candy Cane and Adios). The second layer has an adorable little charm inside it!

Shadows:
Adios- Matte black. Not the blackest black on the face of the earth, but not bad.
LA Gun- Dark, shimmery green. On its own, I'm not in love with the color, but over a black, it looks really pretty! Definitely my favorite in the quad.
Candy Cane- Sparkly, shimmery silver- It's a bit on the crumbly side, but it is really pretty. Just watch out for the glittery fallout of doom!
Polpettina- A soft, matte pink- The formula is kind of chalky, and it doesn't have a ton of pigmentation on my skintone, but it is pretty if you're trying to do a softer look.

Swatches! (Left to right- Adios, LA Gun, Polpettina, Candy Cane With Too Faced Shadow Insurance as primer)

Product review: Too Faced Fun in the Dark Palette (old)

I bought this on sale at Sephora for $16.50. Apparently, it's supposed to light up, although mine doesn't, which doesn't bother me, as I wouldn't use the mirror anyway. It comes with four eyeshadows, a bronzer, a blush, a lipgloss and a lipstick. All the colors go together really well, and are super pigmented. Excuse the lack of photos- my camera battery is dead.

The shadows:
Pin-Up: a silvery-ish shimmery color. Very light, and makes a fantastic highlight color
Peep Show- A slightly shimmery light pink.
Full Frontal- dark purple shimmer
Lucky Charms- Forest green shimmer

All go on really smooth, and have no icky glitter chunks or anything like that. They're not super flaky, so they don't crumble when you put a brush into it. It takes just a little bit of it to get a really nice color.

Bronzer: Sun Bunny
This is a two-toned  shimmer bronzer. It's a bit dark for me, but with a very minimal application, it's not too bad. A very light layer works for contouring, but anyone with a darker skintone could use it as a good bronzer.

Blush: Papa Don't Peach
It definitely has a nice pigmentation. Slight amount of shimmer, but not overly so. A light layer packs a lot of color, which is cool, and it's not very crumbly or flaky.

Lips:
Gloss: Tropical Pink (girls dig pearls)
I don't really like paleted lip glosses, but I'm pretty cool with this one. it has real pearls in it. it's a transparent pikak with glitter in it. The glitter isn't too chunky and definitely stays in place. It looks cool with the lipstick, or on its own. I definitely think I would prefer the liquid gloss though.

Lipstick: Free Love (Lip of luxury)
I love this color. It's kind of a pinkish, peachy almost nude. Glossy finish. It stays put pretty well, and doesn't have a weird scent or flavor, which is nice.

All in all, I think this palette is pretty sweet. While the colors aren't *super* edgy, so by itself, you can't do a lot of crazy stuff with it, but it works for all of your sensible makeup needs. It's pretty small, so it's portable enough. And while I hate palettes that have lip products in them, because they always get gross when rogue eyeshadow bits end up in them, this one is an exception.
