Sleek Face Contour Kit

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!
Its amazing!
It took me two weeks to find a drugstore in London which actually stocked the light shade so now that I have it, it feels much more special :)

Sleek Face Contour Kit in Light

 

Ive been dying for a good, decent contouring kit to start my makeup artist career off with, and now I have it (well, only in the light shade so far!)

 

 

 

The kit comes with a contouring powder and a highlighting powder. I love the texture of the products, and they really are easy to use. Here are the swatches:

 

 

That was just a once over with the product and then swiping it on my arm, so as you can see the highlighter is pretty good!! Of course you'd have to blend it in quite well but it is very easy to work with.

The contour powder is matte which is excellent, there shouldn't be any shimmer in a product your using to create a contour as the light reflecting shimmery bits will bring out parts of your face instead of concaving them.

 

Love love loveeeeeeee <3

 

 

MUA Undressed Eye Shadow Palette

My sister showed me this eye shadow palette which she bought from Superdrug in the UK for £4 and I had to buy one myself and test it out!

The MUA Undressed Palette

 

I have already heard alot about MUA, apparently its quite good for the price. There are a few other palettes with different colours but I figured this one had the colours I would use the most.

 

 

It comes with an applicator (shown above) which I normally dont use but if you do its double ended which is good if your planning to do a smoky eye, one side for the dark colours and the other for light.

There are three matte colours which are not as pigmented as the other shimmery shades but are still nice eye shadows.

 

Swatches from top right onwards.

 

The eye shadows are all nice to touch. They are soft creamy feeling eyeshadows which blend very well. If you use a good primer I imagine they would last all day.

I think I will be going back to Superdrug before I return to Australia to look at the other palettes they sell :)

 



Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Ive heard and read alot about this foundation, and it seems that it is well loved.
I had reallllly high expectations when trying this foundation because of this and have a few different thoughts about the product.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

 

 

I like the packaging and I have to admit I did not realise that it was a squirty bottle and was spooning out the product using the tube!!!! I felt so stupid when I discovered the pump! HAHA!!

First thing I noticed is that it says that it has an anti-fatigue effect and radiant glow. This would be useful considering I do shift work and always look a bit tired :(

When I opened the bottle I could smell the foundation, I think its quite refreshing to have a foundation that has a fruity smell rather than nothing! My sister said that she didnt like the smell and it smelt like an airplane toilet, I wish airplane toilets smelt like this foundation but I admit its not as good smelling as I thought it was going to be.

 

 



The foundation itself is so easy to apply to the skin. I do use a brush to apply my foundation but I did try using both my brush and my hands and either or its still easy to apply.
It has this nice moisturizing feel to it making my skin feel and look soft and dewy (maybe not the best word to use but cant think of any others!) but I dont know about anti fatigue! Im blessed with dark circles and the foundation is buildable but theres no covering these circles with this foundation without a little help from a concealer!
There is a slight shimmer to this foundation, only seen when the product is in contact with light which Im guessing is where the radiant glow comes into it.

Dont get me wrong, overall I LOVE this foundation!! It agrees with my skin, leaves it soft all day and makes my face look radiant. I dont think its as great as I thought it was going to be, but I will be repurchasing it once I run out of this one.

I bought this one from Superdrug in the UK for £6.99, I believe in Australia it is roughly $15.
