Enamored with Too Cool For School ( 투쿨포스쿨)
Oh my stars. I fell in love [with TCFS] the way you fall asleep, slowly, and then all at once.
That's right. I feel so mushy about my TCFS haul that I quoted John Green. Who knows, maybe my feels will reach Nicholas Sparks level some day. In any case, I hope you're ready to fall in love with TCFS too.
Too Cool For School is a brand that does both makeup and skincare. They're known for their cute, quirky, and irreverent designs. Their brand concept is that they create that cosmetics that double as mini artworks (check). Their brand slogan is also really adorable. It goes ...
Although life can get boring,
You can not succumb
You do not get bored,
Because you're special!
Gah, so friggin' cute!
Below are some of their makeup and skincare lines.

Today's haul is from the Dinoplatz and Art Class lines... I wanted to get some more cream eyeshadows / crayons / sticks / pencils for summer and picked up:
Art Class et Contre Tous Colors-for-All in Creamy Nude
Dinoplatz Eye Krrrayon in Cocoa Puddle
Dinoplatz Eye Shadow on Flatiron (Platiron) in # 3 Bronze
I kick myself because I once randomly sauntered into their Garosugil (a Seoul shopping district) store before I knew what they were all about, and I didn't pick anything up! Their stores are a must-see. The design concept is "things that have fallen out of the back of the moving truck of a girl who's off to see a whole new world" (roughly translated). I mean, how could you resist that back story?
So my haul comes a little later than it should have, but what's important is it finally happened.
The Packaging, My God, The Packaging!
But first, the packaging.
The Flatiron eye tint comes in a replica of the Flatiron building in New York!
WHAT?!!! Are we on 23rd & 5th right now?
They get all of the details just right. Every little thing they do counts in my eyes. Like THIS little product insert, reminiscent of a macabre Land Before Time, or THAT little mint green rubberband that's going to live in my hair tie drawer forever and ever.
The products I bought are, from left to right: the Dinoplatz Eyeshadow in 3 Bronze, the Dinoplatz Eye Krrrayon in Cocoa Puddle, and the Art Class color in Creamy Nude.

So are they all flash with no substance? Or do their products measure up to their designs?
Art Class et Contre Tous Colors-for-All in Creamy Nude
Creamy Nude is a pink-toned beige (ecru?) shade with a fine white shimmer.
This is a cream eyeshadow, but has a smoother, balm-like feel to it. I purchased it to use as an eyeshadow base, but it works as a nicely as a subtle highlight as well. Its texture reminds me of the RMS Beauty Living Luminizer. It is in fact, a functional dupe for that product.
It's got pretty good lasting power; basically, it will get you through your day job.
I've got no qualms with the packaging.
Cocoa Puddle is a rich brown satin shade.
This is a creamy eye pencil that is retractable. The product comes to a medium size point at the tip. I purchased it to use both as an eyeliner and an all-over lid shade.
I found that it is really long-lasting and unfussy as long as I'm inside most of the day. I'm able to apply the Krrrayon in the morning and not look in the Mirrror for the rest of the day. Big ups to this product because it is also water resistant. However, outside in the sweltering heat, I tend to sweat it off.
The packaging on this could be better, however. It can't be cuter, but it could be better. As you can see, the product isn't fixed to anything and can fall out. It's easy to just slip the product back into the container, but in case you'd be bothered by this.. be forewarned. The good thing is, each Krrrayon comes with over 2 inches of product.
Dinoplatz Eye Shadow on Flatiron in # 3 Bronze
Bronze is a gorgeous, knock out of a bronze shade.
This one is a creamy liquid eyeshadow, similar to the Becca Eye Tint, but much much better. The TCFS is more opaque, has more pigment, and way more shine.
The lasting power is really good as well.
The packaging is excellent. I've had no issues with it. The product is quite small, but a little pigment goes a long way.
Swatches
A FOTD below with Cocoa Puddle and Bronze on the mobile lid, and Creamy Nude as a base, and taken under the eye. Also, Creamy Nude was used as a highlight on the nose bridge and cupid's bow.
They're about to be sold at Sephora, which means they are going to blow up! And they deserve to!
Have you tried Too Cool For School? What are your must-haves?
Also, I finally purchased a real camera! I'm so excited to start learning how to photograph products better. Look out for sexier pictures in the near future!
