I am super excited to bring you a review on Too Faced's Beauty Blogger Darlings. I've been eyeing their Better Than Sex mascara ever since I saw it being in this year's Sephora Favorties Lash Stash (2013).
I was very tempted to get Lash Stash again but hestiated just long enough to come across Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings. It's a 4 piece set that includes deluxe sample sized Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer, Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer, Primed & Poreless Face Primer and Better Than Sex Mascara.
I was very tempted to get Lash Stash again but hestiated just long enough to come across Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings. It's a 4 piece set that includes deluxe sample sized Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer, Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer, Primed & Poreless Face Primer and Better Than Sex Mascara.
These four items are some of the best selling items from Too Faced. Aside from the bronzer, which I will cover here, I will go through the items individually in seperate posts. Links for each below.
Production Description From Official Website
Set includes:
Deluxe Better Than Sex Mascara
"Two coats take my fringe from stubby, shy violet to long, luscious vixen, and what a super cute pink tube! If you’re gonna bat your lashes all day long, this is the mascara you want," says Karen of makeupandbeautyblog.com
Deluxe Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer
"I love the Chocolate Soleil bronzer because it smells SO good and gives my face a natural deep tan," says Jen of mybeautybunny.com
Deluxe Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer
"My holy grail primer for an airbrushed finish," says vlogger Weylie of youtube.com/ilikeweylie
Deluxe Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer
"I love Shadow Insurance because it lasts all day with zero creasing on my oil-prone lids, it prevents shadows from fading and just a dab does the trick," says Kelly of vampyvarnish.com
In the photo above, I applied the bronzer on the sides of my nose, jawline and on the hollows of my cheeks. For light contouring, you could also apply it ontop of your loose setting powder but for long-wear, apply the bronzer underneath loose setting powder.
With the set, I was able to try the eye primer and mascara, two items I looked most forward to using and not have to pay full price. Size-wise, it'll take a good 4-6 months before you use up the eye primer and bronzer (daily usage) so that's excellent value. If the Poreless Face Primer was double in size, I would've given it a better value rating but it can't all be this good.....?
Overally, good value. Definitely recommended if you want to try at least two of the four items in it. I get no perks for saying this but if you are buying the set, consider getting it online from Two Faced because you can choose a deluxe sized sample when you check out. :)

These four Darlings are deluxe-sample sizes, basically miniature versions of their full-sized counterparts. The blue squeeze tube is the Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer and the pink tube is the Primed & Poreless Face Primer.
Their deluxe-sized Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer comes in a black compact with a mirror. I was surprised to find that the product not only smells like chocolate but actually has cocoa powder in it. The cocoa powder is labeled as Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Fruit Powder in the ingredients list. While I am not sure how much chocolate aroma comes from the powder itself, there is fragrance and parfum in the bronzer that gives it an unmistakable chocolate aroma albeit smells like artifical chocolate... The cocoa powder apparently serves more than just a marketing gimmick. Sephora has on their product description:
"A light matte bronzer infused with real cocoa powder and long-wearing pigments.
Too Faced has combined the natural detoxifying effects of real cocoa
powder with their signature bronzing pigments to create a lighter
version of their bestselling Chocolate Soleil original matte bronzer.
The Milk Chocolate shade is perfectly suited for pale to medium
skintones for a touch of summer warmth all year-long."
The matte bronzer goes on smoothly and has a satin finish. It's suitable for contouring as it's easily manipulatable. It's a light/medium brown shade most suited for light to medium skin tones. It's very easy to correct with a Q-tip if you make a mistake.
With the set, I was able to try the eye primer and mascara, two items I looked most forward to using and not have to pay full price. Size-wise, it'll take a good 4-6 months before you use up the eye primer and bronzer (daily usage) so that's excellent value. If the Poreless Face Primer was double in size, I would've given it a better value rating but it can't all be this good.....?
