Too Faced Peach Collection

There is no denying that the Too Faced Peach collection is highly sought after, wanted and lusted after, the packaging alone is incredibly cute and kitsch.
Too Faced Peach Collection
In my collection I have two, Too Faced 'Peach Oil' lip gloss in shades 'Tickle Me Peach' and 'Peach Fuzz', both of which I adore. 

Peach Fuzz is a light-medium soft pink-coral with warm undertones. I actually found this lasted a bit less time than the other shade. it lasted a good three hours and was incredibly hydrating. The two have a deliciously subtle peach scent.

It's not surprising these are so hydrating when I noticed the Ingredients for the Lip Oils include coconut oil and vitamin E which as we all know are renowned for their moisturising properties.

Tickle Me peach, Lip Oil Gloss is described as 'warm coral with a cream finish, semi-opaque coverage' - I'd definitely agree with that. This is really easy to apply and feels less like a 'full on' product and more like a lip balm.

It's claimed to last 4-5 hours once applied and whilst I haven't timed it, I'd say this definitely is the longest wearing 'balm' like texture product I have tried.

I'm also lucky enough to have the Peach infused highlighting palette in my collection.  It is absolutely beautiful. This is a beauty of a palette which contains a highlighter, blush, and bronzer.  The scent is of course of peach and it smells good enough to eat. Its press release described it as being a "Sweet Peach Glow Illuminating, blushing and bronzing palette is infused with the juicy scent and skin loving the essence of peach to give your face a radiant natural peach glow" and to be fair, it describes it to a T.

On the palette, the blush is the biggest compartment of the palette and sits in the middle with highlighter to the left and bronzer to the right. Unsurprisingly, The entire palette is infused with peachy gold tones.

Starting with the Sweet Peach Highlight, it is a golden peach (shocking, right?) with a metallic sheen. Initially, I thought it might be a little bit overkill working with the other two products, but actually, this is the perfect balance between subtle and mirror reflecting. I still noticed this on my skin after 7/8 hours, so I'm pretty impressed with its lasting power.

Onto the Sweet Peach Blush. This is again, a peachy coral shade with warm undertones and a golden shimmer-sheen finish. The pigmentation is mostly opaque which allows you to build up the colour as much as you wish which is great considering it's easy to overdo it. This blends out amazingly well and applies like a dream. As with the Highlighter, it lasts for around 8 hours.

Last but by no means least is the Sweet Peach Bronzer which is quite a soft, medium brown with golden yellow undertones and a pearly sheen. This has a good buildable pigmentation, easy to apply, feels silky and lasts for around 8 hours.
Using the three together with a light hand is a winning combination and particularly for Summer, this looks incredible on a sunny day.

GlossyBox July Edit

This months Glossybox is one you cannot miss, the bright coral box shouting 'Hello Summer' capturing your attention.  This month, the team behind the scene at Glossybox have decided to help keep travelling as chic as possible with the contents of the box being travel-friendly sizes, summer problem solvers and makeup that can stand the heat.
GlossyBox July Edit

GlossyBox July Edit
The first item out of the box is the Bellapierre Banana Powder.  I have used Banana setting powder for years as makeup artist friend of mine  introduced me to how amazing it can be.  
GlossyBox July Edit
To all intents and purposes, Banana Powder is a essentially a colour-correcting setting powder and it has a yellow hue to counteract any redness or discoloration. Ideal for setting under eye makeup, spot correcting, or even used as a base for your eyeshadow. This product actually retails for £25!

Next comes MONUspa with their Soothing After Sun Lotion. This lotion uses the active ingredients of Aloe Vera that reduces redness and restores hydration and Vitamin E  which helps to protect from environmental aggressors alongside Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter which is incredibly hydrating and nourishing. 
GlossyBox July Edit
As an after-sun lotion, it isn't as thick as I was expecting it to be and it is the perfect travel sized companion for a a few days away in the Sunshine.

If cute Lip Balms are your thing then this Macaroon Tint Balm is for you! In shade Crushed Berry. Paraben free and from Cute Balms, this Tint Balm not only gives your lips a lick of colour but it also doubles up as a cheek stain too.  
GlossyBox July Edit
Smelling incredible berry like, there isn't anything to dislike about the balm, it is just incredible cute and retails for £5.99.

If like me you like your hair off your face and the back of your neck in the heat, then these spiral hairbands from Papanga might just be a life saver. Available in two sizes and a wide range of colours. 
GlossyBox July Edit
Like similar products out there, the hairband spirals "grip" your hair instead of compressing it like conventional hairbands do and it leads to less pressure which is not only good for your hair but in turn helps to prevent headaches and tangles. By doing away with metal fastenings, Papanga® spiral hairbands do not cause any split ends or hair breakage either. They range in price from £1.69 right up to being able to purchase multiple hair bands on Amazon.

The final item in this months box comes from Spectrum Brushes and it is the A10 Small Fan Brush. A Fan Brush is descried as being a multi-tasking brush and you can use it to lightly apply highlighter or powder products for a soft focus finish, or clear the under eye skin after applying eye shadows by sweeping away any excess product.

The brush is made using premium cruelty free synthetic bristles and is incredible soft to the touch and on the skin. Priced at £4.99 it isn't going to break the bank if you haven't got one of these brushes within your collection.
