Like most fashionistas on a budget, I’m always looking for quality products at an affordable price.  One of the most economical ways to purchase makeup and beauty products is when they are bundled.  One of my favourite places to get a quality makeup steal is Too Faced Cosmetics.  If you’re looking for a few new products to try this year, a Too Faced beauty bundle may be the perfect solution.  Priced at around 60% off, they come with a variety of items and are a wallet-friendly way to search for your new favourite beauty products.

I recently tried the Natural Flirt Makeup Collection, which contains seven different beauty items:

Too Faced Makeup Bag – This mini makeup bag features the famous Too Faced logo and feminine black ruffles and bows.  With a length of eight inches, it won’t fit all full size brushes, so it’s best used for travel or makeup touches on the go.

Screen shot 2012-01-08 at 11.33.59 AM Full Size Glamour Gloss (.12 fl oz) – This lightweight lip gloss isn’t overly sticky, and has a slight lip plumping component.  Although I didn’t notice any visible plumping effects, I felt a subtle tingle and loved the sweet scent that reminded me of cotton candy.  Unlike many lip plumping glosses, the tingling sensation wasn’t overwhelming and didn’t leave my lips feeling cold.


Sample Size Lashgasm Mascara (.13 fl oz) – This mascara comes with a flexible brush that makes it easy to apply to short or fine lashes.  It creates a flirty but natural look by lengthening and separating lashes, and is perfect for daily wear.

Screen shot 2012-01-08 at 11.21.57 AM Full Size Pink Leopard Bronzer (.31 oz) – I’m a sucker for anything that has stylish packaging, so this leopard print bronzer was the first thing that I tried.  It has a lot of shimmer and sparkle that can be seen with the naked eye, which made me slightly skeptical that I would like the final result of this product.  It applied easily and quickly, was lightweight, and to my pleasant surprise, wasn’t too sparkly.  The shimmer creates an overall glow when applied to the entire face, and the result is a bronze dooey look.  Alternatively, the Pink Leopard Bronzer can be used as a highlighter on cheekbones, eyelids, or even on the neck and chest.

Petite Pouf Mini Brush – This mini brush is made out of their signature “Teddy Bear Hair,” which is a synthetic hair that’s animal friendly and extremely soft.   At just three inches long, it’s ideal for travelling and fits perfectly in a purse or clutch.

Screen shot 2012-01-08 at 11.23.45 AM Shadow Insurance Candlelight (.17 oz) – This primer acts as a shimmery base for any eye shadow to stick to.  It goes on very light, and increases the intensity and longevity of any brand of eye shadow.

Screen shot 2012-01-08 at 11.21.27 AMSeparately, these products are valued at $112.50, but as a beauty set, they cost just $45.  Mom was right; you should always bundle up.
