A Tokidoki Haul/Review



Yay it's here! So this is my Haul/Review on the Tokidoki cosmetic line. Grab yours before they sell out completely. I had a very nice time seeing the sale grow bigger and items run out. From the original sale at 40% to a nice 60% off on all products. Grabbed a bunch of palettes for gifts and even got to try a good brand on a fabulous deal. I collected a few more products though after I did this haul too, of the colors I wanted to try. There were surprises and disappointments. Overall I's just glad I was able to grab this amazing sale. Hopefully you can too on the Sephora website (Just type Tokidoki or Sale) and check it out in your local store. So without further excitement.

1. Romeo
2. Skeletrina
3. Bastardino

Nail Polish -

Shadows:




These were the single shadow packs that I bought.

Romeo: A nice wine brown color with a light shimmer. Now at $6.00. I love how on the shadow lable they show you the character it is named after. A cute love letter caring sparrow.

Skeletrina: A wonderful colbalt blue shadow with a very little shimmer, almost making it a matte shade. It just sparks some inspiration. Named after a Bluish purple lady kitty with Tokidoki's version of a Louis Vuitton printed design on her.

Bastardino: Oh I've been wanting this shade for a while. A forest green with gold glitter specks in it. My personal kryptonite. Named after a Cactus dog with an cute under bite that reminds me of our first dog Max.

Savana: A bright light gold shimmery glittery shade. I really love the color payoff for this shade. Looks like a foil liquid gold on the lids. Named after a fashionista lioness with blue hair.











Love from London Palette:



The Love from London Palette was a complete surprise for me. I originally bought one online. To use for the Berwick Street shade, dark brown shadow with small blue and purple glitter in it. I eventually ended up falling in love with all of them. Even the blush Parliament Square. Sadly that palette I had depot-ted them to put in my unii Palette that somehow when kicked around the shadows broke apart. So I had to go buy a new one. :(

This Palette is wonderful. They are quite unique, and best used with a base or a primer. Because they can be chalky.










Sloane Square: A cute matte light baby pink, mostly for a highlight shade it is great with warm colors. It is a little hard to pick up and you can build it up.

King's Road: A nice sliver glittery tan color that catches light very well. For a simple everyday look use this color with liner.

Berwick Street: Was the shade that made me talk myself into buying it. A dark red brown with purple and blue glitter in it. When you first dive into it you hardly get any of the glitter but the more you used it the easier it is to work with.

Savile Row: A shimmery bronze that give off a great sensual warmth. Very pigmented not chalky at all and even great on it's own.

Parliament Square: At first sight this blush doesn't seem at all interesting. But after swatching it on and trying it out, soo flattering!  Ravishing coral rose with a gold shimmer.

Baker Street: A matte beige highlight, it is as chalky as Sloane Square and sometimes this shade in a sheer swipe matches my skin too much. This is a great shade to highlight your inner corners.

Park Lane: A pastel yellow shade. I love using this shade as a highlight or a base color for the lid. Although it can look washed out while in sunlight or flash.

The Strand: A light silvery blue a cute flash of color, and just a cute light blue that can be used as a single shade and a brown liner.

Carnaby Street: First sight this blue didn't really pop out to me, crazy right? It is chalky like the others but can be build-ed to a great pastel version of a jet blue color.


















































































 Lips:

L-R: Carina, Mozzarella, Dountella, and Devil Girl.




I gotta say the Lip balms weren't really that great when I first tried them, I felt they were over priced because it's just a sticker design on a case. So the design would sometimes get scratched off in my bag. That and the product wasn't as good as other tinted balms that were cheaper. Originally they were 9 bucks a pop! Now a whoaping 3 dollars. Do I feel cheated or what. But the Gloss was the best! The design the product and the application. Totally divine love for the lips.



























Carina: A cute fuchsia tinted glossy balm. Sweet smelling and tasting. It also taste like wax. This tint is stronger then the other two.


































Mozzarella: A light glossy red tint. Has a different smell to it almost like a cherry flower. Has the same light sweet taste to it also including the wax.
































Donutella: A orange red tint with a glossy finish. Smells the same as Carina. Not really my favorite out of the bunch bust nice natural tinting.












Devil Girl: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this gloss. Even though I hardly wear gloss. The color is a nice sheer glossy red. Literally looks like water on the lips. The smell is amazing! Like candy and the applicator is unreal. It is just a plastic prong that smooths the gloss on like butter.

























  




Nail Polish:








































Stellina: One of my favorite glitter polishes out of the line. Has a clear base with little Purple glitters and bigger glitter in fuchsia or pink. Opacity was accomplished after three coats.


































Sandy: An adorable gold and purple  little glitter has slim glitter in gold and blue. With a clear base. This was two coats. I like this color because it's not to thick and can pretty much be matched with a lot of colors.































Latte: A blue small glitter with slim glitter in purple and gold. This glitter polish is great and not as dark as it looks in the bottle.


































Val - Beauty is in anything you put your mind's eye too. Even dirt, if it inspires you to see roses it's worth digging.

Holy! Tony Moly - Haul/Review

The Story: Tony Moly Haul/Review

Ok short story TonyMoly is a Korean based Cosmetic line from skin care, to make up, to nails. Did I mention the cutest designs for their products? Well if not, let me tell you they are adorable. I remember looking for other dupes for the Deborah Lippmann's glitter in the air. Now most of us know by now that you can grab a dupe for this color from Revlon's nail polish Whimsical. But there are at least two more products that match this nail polish. One of them is the TonyMoly nail polish GS08 Milky way. There is one more company that makes this type of nail polish but I didn't want to buy it and have three different dupes for just one nail polish (Innisfree Color #84). But there were other colors I bought for a future post for milky glitters with bases. Any way getting off topic, not only did I get nail polish but these soo cute lip balms with rabbit covers. I wanted to collect them all, after testing these colors I decided not to I'll tell you why later. Also got a BB cream that I find I use almost every day. So here is the Haul/Review with Pikchas!

List of Products:
1) Dear me BB cream
2)Petite Bunny Gloss bar #3 apple,5 peach, & 6 orange (There are 9 to choose from)
3) Nail polish Star line GS08 Milky way, 09 Shooting star,10 Pinky star.



 (I'm making the pictures big so you can see the products better.)
Products L-R: Dear Me BB cream w/30spf, Petite Bunny gloss bar, Star nailpolish

TONYMOLY Dear me BB cream:
Dear me BB cream

The TonyMoly Dear me BB cream: One of the best BB creams I've been trying out this year. It has 30SPF with whitening, skin tone evening, and sun protection. You can see that it also brightens and whitens the skin a little when you put it on, be in mind that this is not settled with powder. Usually when I do it helps it blend into my skin better. I like it, I use it almost everyday. Not enough to see a dramatic change in my skin, though knowing that it has 30SPF does keep me relaxed. Cause girl I got some acne scars I don't want getting any darker. So I would recommended this product.





























 TONYMOLY Petite Bunny Gloss Bars:
Petite Bunny Gloss Bar: #5 Happy Peach, #6 Mad Orange, #3 Wink Apple





Petite Bunny Gloss Bar #5: This Gloss bar is a peach scented + light tinted color. It gives a muted glossy glow and even tones your lips while hydrating them. Now I was hoping it was a great lip moisturizer like the one from Dermstore lip quencher but frankly it's not. It lost it's fuel at least in two hours and the color as well. But maybe because I bite my lips when in deep thought or work. This cover smiles :)
(Other colors include: Strawberry, Grape, Apple, Cherry, Peach, Orange, Neon Orange, Neon Red, and Neon Yellow.)













Petite Bunny Gloss Bar #6: This Gloss bar is a orange scented + tinted color. I really liked this one because it reminded me about Revlon's Butters in Tutti Frutti but with less color. I like how it's not a lipstick but a balm. It still ran out on the conditioning during the rough day. I like how it's a nice touch of orange you can barely see but know it's there. This cover is mad >:(
















Petite Bunny Gloss bar #3: This Gloss bar is a apple scented + tinted color. I LOVE the apple smell lately. I have no idea why but I do, so I was happy to buy this. One of the darkest shades you could order out of the 9 shades/scents you can choose from. I really like this one because it leaves a more red-ish tint. I also like how the cover winks at me. ;(















TONYMOLY Star Nail polish GS08, GS09, &GS10:








Tony moly's GS08 Milky way:
This is the color I thought could be another dupe of the Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the air & Revlons Whimsicle. It has a nice yogurt like polish with Pink, Blue, and little Sliver glitters in it. I do like this more then the Revlon one because I always seem to get bubbles in it. But with this polish none. It does have a chemical smell.





Tony moly's GS09 Shooting star:
I really like this glitter polish, because the polish is a nice lavender yogurt with rainbow glitters. This is definitely something I have never owned or tired before and is a complete delight. It's different from Deborah Lippmann's Candy shop. It does have Light blue, Green, Yellow, Sliver, and Red glitters. I would say this is a must have! And yes it does have a chemical smell to it. But once it's dries it's gone.






 Tony moly's GS10 Pinky star:
I love this color so much! The pink yogurt with the Red, Yellow, Pink and small sliver glitters are sooo pretty. I really like this one out of all three of them. Just because it's so warm and it looks just absolutely delicious. I would say this is a must see,try, and have. Same chemical smell but once it's dry it's all glitters.



(I will show all my Yogurt cream glitters in one post with base coats sometime. So stay tuned.)


So whether your late in the game or ahead of the trend, do it cause it makes you happy.
