Hello, everyone! I have an exciting review to share with you all today. Thanks to 2 day shipping I recieved The Little Black Book of Bronzers from Too Faced. If you don't already know, this palette has all of the Too Faced bronzers in full size. I hesitated because of the price($139,$240 sold separately) but I just couldn't resist! Personally, I don't think everyone needs this limited edition piece. I think it's more for people who are makeup addicts or collectors.It is a great way to build your collection, though. Especially for those who are new to Too Faced bronzers or just bronzers in general.
Let's take a look inside!
When you first open the book you see 7 columns dedicated to each day of the week. The idea is that each bronzer has it's own unique purpose, Such as a power player, lunch with mom, date night, girls night out, play hooky,peace love & festivals, and Sunday funday. For the sake of your eyes, I will write each bronzers description with the individual swatches.
I have to say, what I love most about this book is with every purchase made money is donated to to cancer research! The founder of Too Faced has a sister who was diagnosed with Melanoma and he dedicated his life to creating beautiful bronzers that give a golden glow without the risk of sun exposure. Aside from his miraculous work, Too Faced has donated nearly $100,000 to the Melanoma Research Foundation. It's so inspirational when leading brands connect with the world and actually care. By the way, his sister is now healthy!
Here is the other page of the book. There are eight bronzers total in this bronzer wardrobe. Each bronzer has it's own colored section. The set up kind of reminds me of a game show. If only there was a spinner, it would make my decision so much easier when I'm deciding which one to wear! Anyways, under each bronzer it will tell you the name and what kind of look you get with each one.
The packaging
Like most Too Faced palettes, the packaging itself is very sturdy. It's not very travel friendly of course but I feel confident enough not to worry about damage to the goods inside. I'm not quite sure where I'm going to store it. I swear it's the size of medium pizza box. Some people might find it difficult to use. Whipping out a large palette is never fun/convenient but when you save $100 it's totally worth it. Of course you could always depot the bronzers but you would be taking a major risk of ruining the palette. Some people buy it for the saving and others, like me, buy it because of the packaging.

Here are all of the swatches together. I hope the comparisons makes it easier for you if you just plan on picking up a single.
Overall
All of the bronzers are soft, pigmented, long-lasting and blend very easily. None of the bronzers accentuate my imperfections nor look muddy of them. These have to be my favorite bronzers of all time! This book isn't a hit or miss deal, every single bronzer is the real deal!
The packaging is big but rediculously cute. Everyone can find their perfect shade from the bronzer wardrobe and if you don't want to pay that much buy a single.
The single bronzers sell for $30 each and the bronzers are $17.50 a piece in the Little Black Book of Bronzers.
That's actually a huge amount of money saved and you won't regret purchasing it.
I'm also pleased to know my part of my purchase goes towards Melanoma research. So if you plan on picking one up do it during May because the donation ends this month.
