Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette

After purchasing this palette in France, it has become a staple in my everyday makeup and I use this religiously. Firstly, I use the colour triple fudge to fill in my brows-yes this is a dark and scary colour, which is very pigmented, but I promise you it works wonders, for someone with the same brow colour of me obviously. My all time favourites in the palette (which are swatched from left to right) are: haute chocolate, marzipan, creme brûlée, hazel nut, salted caramel and semi sweet. My go to easy-peasy look is salted caramel in the crease and marzipan (my favourite) on the lid, I use a large fluffy brush to apply it and it takes literally 10 seconds to do and is effortless. I also love to use champagne truffle in my inner corners and to highlight my brow bone. The shadows are so creamy, pigmented and easy to blend. The shimmery shades are my favourite as I feel there the easier to blend and are the most vivid. 
 
You can't forget the amazing smell of chocolate every time you open up this palette, as the eye shadows are infused with cocoa powder-not necessary, but highly appreciated! Too faced as a brand have a amazing reputation (I can see why) and are known for there amazing scented products-I really want to get my hands on there other palettes and there chocolate bronzer. Yes these products can be on the pricey side, but are defiantly worth it as the quality is there.

The Japanese House @ The Haunt

I went to a small gig in Brighton to see Amber Bain, better known as the Japanese house, and no its not j-pop music. The venue was small and just off the sea front, quite hidden and tucked away with scaffolding (at the time I went, anyways) and with £10 a ticket, it was worth it. The Japanese House are opening to the 1975 on their current tour and have a unique sound, however will probably become mainstream soon and be ruined (rip catfish).

Inside it was very, very cold and full of smoke but the acoustics weren't bad, I'd recommend standing by the speaker on the right, where I stood, because you can stash your bag/jacket on the side, instead of putting it in the cloak room. This can avoid long queues afterwards and the loss of your things, which according to other reviews happens a lot...of course if your going to leave your stuff on "the side" stay near by, which shouldn't be a problem as the view from there is good and close the stage.

My favourite songs on the album are defiantly teeth and cool blue so be sure to give them a listen. Shout outs to the opening acts fake laugh and Isaac.
