Price | $30.00 / £19.58 / €26.15 / ¥3525
Availability | 8 shades available TooFaced.com

Product | “Infused with antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and signature bronzing pigments to create a unique matte bronzer that neutralizes red and evens skin tone” – TooFaced.com

Pigmentation | The color pay off was very poor. The color appeared cocoa brown in the compact but on my skin it appeared achy and dusty mousey brown.

Application | The application was very soft and seamless with no blotchiness. You can use a kabuki brush or a sponge and get great coverage.

Texture | The Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer is very soft and cushy with an almost creamy texture.

Longevity | This product is an all day wear.

Overall | I was very excited about this product. The concept was great and it smells AMAZING. Unfortunately, it was not created for medium to dark skin. Even though the tone would provide a light bronzey contour to my skin tone, it appears dull and ashy. I attempted to use with a primer and I got the same result. I would not recommend this product for anyone with a medium to dark brown complexion.

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer Review

Posted on 02/03/2015 by Amber Rose Posted in Face, Product Reviews, Too Faced

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer

I have to admit the name of this product caught my eye first before anything else. I wasn’t looking for a new primer but anything that recover your skin from a hangover, I need to try. I was intrigued to see that this product not only had cococut water, which is a favorite of mine for skin and body, but it also has electrolytes and probiotics. Too Faced was extremely clever to take an ingredient that is usually seen in ingestable products and add it to a topical product for the largest organ we have, the skin.

I was also very happy to see that this primer is silicon-free. I have very dry skin in the winter time and primers that are silicon based do absolutely nothing for me. And they normally do more bad than good.

Product | “Too Faced harnessed the science of hydration to create a creamy, penetrating primer that acts like an energy drink for the skin by replenishing moisture levels. It can be worn alone for a dewy, healthy looking finish, or under bronzers, foundations, and powders to create the perfect canvas.” – Sephora.com

Pigmentation | This product doesn’t have any pigmentation since it’s a primer. It comes out of the pump white but it smooths on translucent.

Application | This primer is a very silky cream. Not too wet and not to firm. I found that it only too about 4 pumps of product to cover my entire face.

Texture | The texture of the primer is very creamy and smooth. But I want to talk about what your skin feels like after you put it on. I applied this after doing a double cleanse with my normal face wash and my skin felt like it literal woke up. My skin felt very smooth and supple.

Longevity | This was the blue ribbon winner for me. I applied this to my face at 6am and at 11:33pm my skin feels like I just applied it. I even had my roommate feel my face to make sure I wasn’t having a placbo effect. My skin felt very soft, smooth and very hydrated.

Lactobacillus Ferment – Lactobacillus bacteria have the ability to convert sugars into lactic acid. Lactic acid improves skin’s overall texture by moisturizing, sloughing off dead surface cells and promoting collagen growth.

Tocopherol – Vitamin E

Glycerin – Glycerin is a great humectant.

Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Juice – Coconut water is very useful in boosting circulation, thereby allowing the skin to breathe a lot of healthy oxygen. This promotions clear, healthy skin.

❤︎ Is it Vegan?: Yes
This product is cruelty-free, vegan-friendly, and silicone-free.

Overall | I recommond this product to anyone that wears makeup often or that has a problem with keeping their skin looking and feeling hydrated. Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer has all the ingredients for a yummy cocktail for your skin. Coconut water hydrates and increases circulation, the lactic acid producted by the probitics helps cell turn over and the olive oil and glycerin keeps the skin moist and hydrated. It is definitely worth the price and it belongs in everyone’s makeup bag and/or kit.
