Here's what I picked up!

| L to R: Pot Foundation/concealer in True Beige, Cream Blush in Cotton Candy and Peachy Rose, and the Vegan Oily Lid Primer in Buff |
Pot Foundation/Concealer in True Beige: This is a creamy and medium coverage concealer. I actually applied it under my eyes to see how much it would cover and how much it would crease, it worked pretty well. It definitely needs to be set with a powder but it didn't crease much. Sadly, the colour is too dark for me but at $6.50 USD for 10g, I'm not going to cry about it. I will be ordering another shade and possibly a pink shade for use under my eyes.
Cream Blush in Cotton Candy: Bri didn't lie, their cream blushes are fantastic! The colour of this one shocked me a bit because it has a strong purple tone to it but looks beautiful on. It's creamy, pigmented and long lasting.
Cream Blush in Peachy Rose: Beautiful colour and I love it as much as Cotton Candy. It's definitely peachy! Both colours can be sheered out for a wash of colour or built up for more intensity. These are $5.75 USD each and I will be buying more for sure!
Vegan Oily Lid Primer in Buff: This shade is a good match for my skin. It sadly creases on me no matter how much or little I use. I have deep set eyes though, that's probably why I'm more prone to creasing. I'm still playing with it but I think I may end up just using it as a concealer. It was only $3.45 USD.
Crystal also included a mini sample of an eyeshadow and a sampler of all the foundation and concealers shades available. I thought that was fantastic because it now allows me to pick my actual shade and easily order what I need.

Yes, I love TANF, and I actually have the same creme foundation in True Beige! As a tip you can order all the powder foundation samples in your range for like, 4$. That way you'll know your shade for all the products. I also initially tried the oily lid primer but it didn't work great, try the magic primer - it's dream and I find it works better. PS I just moved back to Canada from the States and shipping prices to Canada can be nuts!
ReplyDeleteI knew I should have just gotten the magic primer! Crystal was kind enough to send me the foundation sampler, I'm playing with them now. What else have you tried from them?!
DeleteWelcome back to the land of high shipping lol :)
I use a lot of their stuff... the powder foundation, magic primer, the midas concealer, cream concealer pot. I find their strength is in the concealears and foundations, primers, etc, but a lot of the stuff is good. In the summer I use the oil control powder too. I so so appreciate how affordable it is.
DeleteIt's always great to get some feedback from other people who use this brand. I'm not a huge fan of the pot concealer (maybe because it's the wrong shade) or the powder foundation but I'm still playing with both. Thanks for the comment :)
DeleteI haven't tried this brand yet... So many nice clean brands from across the world, which means shipping would most likely be a killer. Not to mention, the long weight.
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the lookout for good concealers so that would definitely be on my wishlist already. The Cotton Candy cream blush also looks lovely on the photos.
TANF has some good shipping costs, but the wait time was a little long. It took about a week for it to even ship and then another few days for it to arrive but not bad. Check them out anyway :)
DeleteCotton candy is beautiful! I didn't think I'd like it very much when I saw it, but I've been wearing it the last couple of days.
I've been planning an order from TANF too, for similar things to you actually! I was thinking of the concealer, magic eye primer and a cream blush. You've totally sold me on Peachy Rose now:)
ReplyDeleteYou must! I really enjoy mixing the primer and concealer to get my perfect shade.They're both creamy and wonderful (so far anyway lol). The peachy rose blush would look amazing on you! Order right now lol.
DeleteYay!! Love this post :) I'm so glad you love the cream blush. They're my FAVORITE. I think you'll like the magic eye primer a lot. I'm testing buff now and it works great as a lid concealer, but for all day wear I love magic! :D
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, thanks! Omg I am so obsessed with the cream blushes, I want all of them. The buff is great for brightening/concealing but fails as a primer so I can't wait to check out the magic one!
DeleteHey girl! First off, I think your blog is great! I just discovered it, and I've just recently been introduced to the world of natural products and cosmetics. I also live in Canada, and I'm just wondering how long it took for you to receive your order from TANF. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteHayyy! Thank you so much, that's very sweet :). Welcome to the world of natural products! You're gonna love it. My first order took about 2 weeks and my second took 3-4. It depends how busy they are I guess. If you plan on ordering cream products, order before it gets super hot or they might melt. Xo!
DeleteI'm loving it so far! :) And thanks for the tip on the cream products - I'll consider myself warned! Those cream blushes do look lovely. And I've been waiting almost two weeks now, but I put in a mammoth sized order. I am clearly impatient, lol!
Deletehahaha I was the same way! I even contacted them and was like why is it taking so damn long!? What did you order??
DeleteOh geez...too much, haha! I ordered one of the face foods, the glazed strawberries lip gloss, a bunch of eyeshadow and blush samples, the eye primer that comes in the tube, a foundation primer, one of the mineral glows, a mineral veil, a lipstick, foundation samples...the only thing I didn't order was the cream blush :( I just got the lip2cheek from RMS and I didn't feel like shelling out more money for a product that could do the same thing. I recently purged my stash of (most) things toxic, so I'm building up my collection from scratch again! The key is to make sure I only accumulate what can be used up. No more hoarding! lol
Deletedammmnnn you got a bunch of great things!! You'll have to let me know how you like them all and what worked/didn't work for you. RMS sadly doesn't work for me :(. lol @ no more hoarding! I hate having stuff sitting around, taking up space, so my makeup collection is VERY small. No hoarding here! xo
DeleteI will definitely let you know! They just shipped my order yesterday...yay! :D
ReplyDeleteYayyyyy! Finally! I'm not sure if I'm more excited or you are..I think I might be lol
DeleteThe verdict is in...after a couple months of review, I can say with certainty that I absolutely hate the Glazed Strawberries lip gloss, the Magic Eye Primer is just kind of okay for me, and the lipstick was a bit patchy in application. BUT, I love the mineral foundation and blush, and the eyeshadows are lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad you're at least loving some of the products. Cream blushes are my absolute fave, can't get their foundations working for me and the shadows are very lovely. xo
