The All Natural Face Cosmetics Review

Hi guys! About two months ago I found a groupon for The All Natural Face where I paid $15.00 for $30.00 to spend on their website. This deemed to be the perfect opportunity to test out some products I had been lusting after for weeks.

I decided to purchase the vegan "magic" eyeshadow primer, two cream blushes, tinted lip balm, and a small cream foundation pot. The two loose pigment eyeshadows pictured above were received as part of a monthly subscription service the company offers on their website. 

Cream Blush Swatches- Peachy Rose (left) and Barbie (right)

I've heard nothing but rave reviews regarding the cream blushes offered by TANF, and I was certainly not disappointed! I chose the colors Barbie and Peachy Rose. Both of these are extremely smooth,  creamy and wear like a dream. I like to use my finger to pat the product onto the apple of my cheek and use a damp beauty blender to blend into my skin for a flawless finish. Peachy Rose definitely has more peach/brown tones to it with a slight hint of pink which makes it a perfect for those natural "no makeup" makeup days. Barbie is a great cool toned pink shade that can be worn very subtle for a slight pink glow but I like to build it up a little bit for a brighter pop of pink. These products are sold as multi-use cheek and lip colors, however I found them to be a little drying to wear on my lips and keep them strictly to use as blush. I have found that these tend to start fading on my face after about five hours of wear, of course these can be topped off with powder blush or translucent powder to extend the wear time! The 27 different shades are available here for $5.75 each. 

Vegan "Magic" Eyeshadow Primer- Left (heavily swatched) Right (slightly blended out)

I am so in love with this primer! A total winner for me and a definite repurchase. You receive .43oz in a cylindrical tube with a doe foot applicator, similar to classic lip gloss packaging. I love that this primer comes with a wand because I find that it is so much easier to apply on my eyelid. TANF website states that this is comparable to Urban Decay Primer Potion which I was currently using when this was purchased. I find TANF version to have a slightly tackier finish than UDPP which helps my shadows really stick to my lids (especially loose mineral pigments). I do notice my eyeshadow will begin to fade after about seven hours of wear with this primer underneath, but that happens to be the norm with my eyes and any primer. Bonus points for the "magic" primer because I never experience that dreaded creasing with this! Available on theallnaturalface.com for $7.00

Vegan Just Kissed Tinted Lip Balm in Blush Pink- Top (four to five swipes) Bottom (two swipes)

As you can tell by the swatches above this is a classic tinted lip balm with a light tint that can be built up to a brighter pink. I really love this lip balm and find myself reaching for it much more than I had anticipated. However, for a lip balm I find that this isn't the most moisturizing on my lips and will accentuate any dry/flaky patches I have. It wears much better with a regular lip balm underneath which will help it glide on smoother. It's just enough color on my lips for everyday wear, think your lips but better :) Available on theallnaturalface.com for $4.03

Cream Foundation Pot, Light Beige Warm, 10 gram pot. 

Cream Foundation- Left (heavily swatched) Right (blended out)

I'm constantly on the hunt for new foundation, it has to be one of my favorite cosmetic items to test out. This cream foundation is very affordable at just $6.50 for the 10 gram pot (which I think will last quite a long time!) and $12.45 for the 20 gram pot. I decided to make an educated guess on which of the 51 foundation shades would match my skintone, although you do have the choice of ordering a sample of every foundation shade in your range for about $5. The color I chose was Light Beige Warm and as you can see it is a very light shade. If your extremely fair skinned I think you would have no problem finding a match from TANF. The color I chose matches my neck pretty well, but can make me look washed out if I don't apply contour and blush to bring some color back to my face. I think next time I will try out a color from the medium beige series. The foundation itself is in solid form but becomes extra creamy and delightful once warmed up on your skin. I will use a small spatula to remove some foundation, place it on the back of my hand/warm it up with my finger, apply streaks to my face and lightly blend with my fingertips. I always get the best result when I fully blend this product in with a damp beauty blender sponge. The coverage is pretty light and basically evens out my skintone without feeling like a heavy mask. I do still need concealer under my eyes when wearing this. I like the natural finish this leaves on my dry skin, yet it seems to take about an hour to fully sink in and not look like I'm wearing makeup. I give this a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

TANF Eyeshadow. Top Left French Vanilla (w/o primer) Top Right French Vanilla (w/ "Magic" primer). Bottom Left Honey Pot (w/o primer) Bottom Right Honey Pot (w/ "Magic" primer).

Way back in June of this year I noticed that TANF had a monthly beauty box similar to Birchbox, except it was a box of only products from The All Natural Face. For $15.00 I thought this would be a great opportunity to try out some of their products. I received a lot of their skincare products which will be reviewed soon :) These two eyeshadows were included and at first glance I wasn't too impressed. They've been neglected in my eyeshadow drawer since. I recently started playing with them and found that French Vanilla is the perfect brow bone highlight, applied lightly and blended well it looks very subtle and natural. As you can see above Honey Pot is very sheer upon application without primer underneath, but paired with the "Magic" eyeshadow primer it becomes a gorgeous shimmery golden bronze! A perfect lid color! The texture is soft and very finely milled and I have no problem applying them to my eye with a brush. The shadows run $3.50 for a 5 gram jar and $6.50 for a 10 gram jar. 

All in all I was very happy with my purchase from TANF. Most of the products offered are vegan, the ingredients are great and everything is very affordable; think drug store pricing.  I definitely recommend trying some of the products whether you are trying to use more natural cosmetics or you just feel like buying some new makeup ;) You can purchase several different sample packs without committing to full size products, available here.

Have any of you tried products from The All Natural Face? What did you think?
