NYX Haul

Today I went and picked up a few things in boots, my new favourite stand by far! So today I found their Ombre blushers which are gorgeous! They remind me of the Estee lauder blushers, but for a fraction of the price. I picked up the shade in Heat wave and Mauve me. They're both really pretty and blend really well on the cheeks, I've also noticed that they last a really long time which is perfect. Additionally I love the concealer and contour palette. The product is very creamy and blends well although I find that unless I bake it under my eyes it creases a lot but it's fine on my face in other places. The highlighter I love and looks really great on my face! Blending nicely across my cheekbones and brightens my face a lot.

Maybelline New In...

As I was walking around super drug, I noticed that there was some new Maybelline products out and I decided I needed to try it out. The foundation sounded right up my street as I do have a few prominent pores on my face and I'm always up for a matte foundation and I love cream contour products so that was a no brainer to pop in my basket. 

On first impressions I really like the foundation it's quite liquid in consistency and I would say it's best to apply with a damp sponge to get the most natural result. The contour stick is interesting in terms of being half contour half highlight. I got the lightest shade and I think they could have done with making the highlight side lighter for paler people but the contour side is really nice and I love the blend-ability of the product and ensuring that a natural contour is achieved.

Let me know what your favourite contour products/ matte foundation is?! 

L'Oreal sculpt contour

Hello,

Today I've been loving this contour product! I've particularly been enjoying cream contour products recently and I really like this product, particularly the contour side, which for me is the perfect colour and shade for my skin tone and I love it. The highlight side is lovely and really nice but a heads up it's definitely a partial pink tone rather than a neutral colour so might not work for you if you've got a very yellow skin tone.

Contour product comparison

Loves -

Diego dalla Palma this contour palette is stunning, there are two shades of contour, two highlights and a blush. This is lovely and I find myself reaching for this a lot. The palette is great for travel and also the contour shades are true contours as they're slightly grey tinted compared the the warmer toned orange brown for normal bronzers. This also looks very similar to the Anastasia Beverly hills kit.

Smashbox contour kit in light - I've had this palette for a while and I've been loving it, they're so good and I've used this palette so much! Can't recommend it enough if you can spare the money as it's quite pricey. But definitely worth the money.

If you're on a budget I'd recommend that you cheek out the L'Oreal sculpt palette, Topshop cream contour and the freedom contour and highlight stick they're all really nice and very bendable, but all of them are cream so bare that in mind and set them with a translucent powder if you can. 

Then I also wanted to mention Hoola bronzer and Topshop mohawk bronzer. These aren't contour products but I'd like to point out the fact that they weren't contour but I just like these products anyway!

Topshop Sweep and Swipe

Hello,

Today I saw these in topshop and I knew I needed to try them, I've been loving these products, more so the contour shade, which is perfect for my contours and I can easily blend the colour into my skin to give a natural and flawless contour, and I can then set it with a powder contour if I wanted to have a more dramatic longer lasting look. The thing about the highlight that I'm not loving is the fact that it's just a matte white and I like to use it under another highlight otherwise it sits strangely on my skin. But I do like it, however I'd recommend the cream contour over the highlight and the contour also comes in a darker shade, Swerve, if Sweep is too light for your skin tone.
