Too Faced Cinnamon Bear Makeup Set Review & Swatches
Too Faced Cinnamon Bear Eye, Cheek, and Lip Makeup Collection is a new, limited edition set that launched with the Too Faced Holiday 2020 Collection. I picked this up a few weeks ago when it originally launched as many people were asking me to review it. Sorry for the delayed review but here I am finally getting to it!
Too Faced has been pretty good with Holiday releases lately. Many of their Holiday launches can be repetitive but the last three years or so they have switched things up and released some very cool items not to mention the quality is very good. For a while there, it felt like they were headed downhill but they picked themselves up, dusted themselves off, and made a valid attempt to launch some cool items. They also slowed down a bit as well and we aren’t seeing a release from them every two seconds.
Too Faced Cinnamon Bear Eye, Cheek, and Lip Makeup Collection is a value set that includes an eye and face palette plus a full-size Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick as well as a very cute makeup bag. The inspiration for the color story is cinnamon gummy hears and the palette is supposed to smell like cinnamon. Cringe I know! Who wants to put cinnamon anything on their face and eyes? The novelty of a cinnamon scented palette sounds amazing but in reality there’s a certain cringe factor to that. But have no fear this smells like absolutely nothing. There is no cinnamon scent at all and I’m not really sure why they are promoting any of it as being cinnamon scented! Even the Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick is a vanilla cake batter-like fragrance! Nothing cinnamon gummy bear to be had here. I found almost all the reviews to be positive on the quality of this set but many people deducted stars because they were disappointed it didn’t smell like cinnamon! I’m in that batch of people feeling a little let down on the smell but this isn’t really new for Too Faced. Many of their scented releases have been disappointing!
