Hey beautiful people!
Not sure
what the weather’s like in your part of the world but here in NY we had a
decent amount of snow earlier in the week. ⛄❅
But no matter what it looks like outside get ready for sparkling
makeup tutorial and review of Too Faced’s Unbearably Glam makeup collection!
You can watch my video review and step-by-step tutorial
here
You may have already seen my review of the counterpart to
this set; the Foxy Neutrals collection (or you can read it here).
If you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen
some of the fun makeup looks you can create with these makeup sets.
But today is all about the Unbearably Glam collection! 😊
REVIEW & SWATCHES
Of course, I had more fun with the Unbearably Glam collection than the Foxy Neutrals because you know what a sucker I am for glitter and shimmer makeup.😁
The Unbearably Glam makeup collection comes with an
eyeshadow palette, a face palette, and their cult classic mascara, all for $36.
The palettes have a beautiful iridescent shine to them
that looks blue, pink, or purple depending on how the light hits them. This extra touch of glam makes even the packaging aesthetically pleasing.
The eye palette has 12 eyeshadows in multiple finishes.
The face palette has a highlighter and blush, no bronzer or contour shade.
It comes with a travel sized mascara but no eyeshadow primer or lip product as it has in past Sephora-Too Faced collaborations.
EYESHADOW
A regal polar bear graces the cover of the eyeshadow palette decked out in jewels and a queen’s crown. 👑
I am a much bigger fan of this palette than the Foxy
Neutrals one because I love the shades and variety of finishes. The shimmers and glitters are so spectacular!
This palette is perfect for (Zoom) parties, special
events, virtual NYE or just when you want a little extra sparkle in your life.✨
Most shades have really excellent pigment and last quite a long time.
Let's look at each shade individually with some swatches!
SWATCHES
My arm sparkled like a Winter Wonderland for quite some time after I took these pictures, which is really just a testament to the great staying power these eyeshadows have.

Silver Bells – Gold & silver glitter

Stats:
Lasts for: 12+ Hours
Formula: Pressed Powder
Fallout: Minimal
Blendable: Yes (not the glitters)
Chalky/Flakey: One/No
Pros: These eyeshadows are gorgeous!
All of them are super long lasting with amazing pigments.
The shimmers & mattes are soft and blend lovely.
The glitter shades are super saturated and soft to the touch. They apply best with your
fingertip and a press-and-roll motion (you can see it in the video) as opposed to brushing them on. If you use this method you will get the most beautiful glitter effect, almost foil like.
Cons: One matte shade (Nutcracker) goes on a
little patchy so it requires a little more effort to work with it. The glitters, like most glitter eyeshadows, doesn't work well if you try to blend it or sweep it on. Gentle pressing is the way to go.
Star Rating for Eyeshadows: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I by it Again: Yes!
Final thoughts: A truly fantastic eyeshadow palette! With buttery mattes, glistening shimmers, and sparkling glitters you are bound to be bright spot of any event!🥳
FACE
No bronzer, which is truly inconsistent with the usual Too Faced winter season collections from Sephora 🤷
Angel Kisses – Champagne with silver shimmer
Makeup & Be Merry – Bubble gun pink with a matte
finish
Stats:
Formula: Pressed Powder
Smudges/Streaks/Runs: No/No/No
Blendable: Yes
Chalky/Flakey: No/No
Pros: The highlighter has a pearly/shimmery finish that glides on beautifully for the perfect lit-from-within glow. The blush is a powder but it has such a creamy consistency, it blends like a dream.
Cons: Honestly, none.
Star Rating for the Face Palette: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I Buy it Again: Yes
Final thoughts: Absolutely stunning highlighter and blush! Excellent pigmentation in both, a little goes a long way so you won't run out of these guys too fast 👍
MASCARA
I feel like I’ve reviewed this product every year because
it always comes with a Too Faced makeup collection, but here are some quick
stats on it on it anyway 😀
Stats:
Color: Black
Waterproof: No
Formula: Lengthening/Volumizing
Wand: Straight
Smudges: No
Drying: No
Flakey: No
Lasts for: 12+ Hours
Pros: This mascara has always been a favorite of mine. The hype is totally warranted; it is a phenomenal mascara. It gives lashes beautiful length, a lovely fanned out look, and a natural wispy appearance that I've never seen another mascara do. The wand is on the straighter side but has full, long bristles that are terrific for adding volume.
Cons: It's not waterproof, but it doesn't claim to be. They do sell a waterproof version it as well.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I Buy It Again: Yes
Final thoughts: An amazing mascara that truly deserves all the accolades it receives. It is so fantastic that I have even worn it all by itself, no other makeup, and gotten compliments on my eye makeup. This is an excellent mascara!
TUTORIAL
You can watch the video tutorial here
Here is a little step-by-step of how I created this look
1. Primer, Nutcracker, and Blend: Apply a thin layer of eyeshadow primer from lash line to brow bone. Take Nutcracker ( cinnamon brown matte) and run it right through the crease of the eye, taking it out at the outer corner and winging it. Then blend it to get rid of any harsh lines.
3. Press String of Lights All Over Lid: Use your finger to press-and-roll String of Lights (pink and silver glitter) all over eye lid, don't blend or sweep, 'pressing-and-rolling' it gives a much stronger glitter effect. Then use a small brush to press the glitter in the wing you created with Candy Cane.
5. Christmas Dreams, Mascara & Concealer: Sweep Christmas Dreams (baby pink shimmer) onto brow bone, apply signature mascara to top and bottom lashes and then add a concealer to under eyes. There is virtually no fallout, but this cleans up everything anyway.
And then we have...
I did a thinner swipe of eyeliner on the top lash line because I wanted the eyeshadow to be the star of the show.
I went for a shimmery, glossy lip color instead of a bold matte. I wanted to keep with the theme of glitter and glam.
