e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzer Powder - review

Hi!

So I love blusher and bronzer. And I am always on the look out for the best possible products for the best possible price. And this little duo from e.l.f. is definitely one of my favourite products. It is affordable, has good-looking packaging, and contains genuinely great powders. What's not to love?

I have the shade 'St. Lucia' and it only costs £5!



Firstly, the packaging of this product is very nice. It comes in a sleek, matte black case, and is very similar to that of Nars. This packaging also features a good sized mirror and therefore makes this product perfect for traveling with. The casing also feels very sturdy, and unlikely to break.


The actual powders are really lovely. The blusher is a pale peachy-pink colour and has gold shimmer running through it. The pigmentation is perfect so that it adds a subtle glow to the face. The bronzing powder is also warm toned, again with the gold shimmer within it. When applied to the hollows of the cheeks, temples, and under the jawbone, it does do a brilliant job at warming up your complexion. However, if applied to heavily, it can look a bit orangy. That is the dangers with warm toned bronzers.


As for the lasting power, when used in conjunction with a good base, and/or a setting spray, they are likely to last a good few hours on the skin. I also believe that the shade of this duo will suit many different skin tones, but if not, then there are many other shades, including a matte version, and a cream version.

Overall, I think that this little compact is wonderful! The powders themselves are beautiful, and the casing is designed to be so travel friendly. At only £5, it is such a good bargain as well.

Pros of this blush & bronzer duo-
- Beautiful powders, versatile and high quality
- Affordable at only £5
- Packaging is strong and good looking

Cons-
- Not easy to get hold of in the UK as it is only available online
- Bronzer can be slightly orange looking if applied too heavily

Rimmel Kate Moss Sculpting Palette - review

Image
Hi!  So, contouring and highlighting a beauty trend that is likely to last forever. It is incredibly popular, with many brands releasing their versions of contouring products, and of the latest is that from Rimmel London; their Kate Moss Sculpting Palette. This one is in the shade '003 Golden Bronze'. For a few years now I have been using the Sleek version of this product, and I didn't think it would be possible to stop me from using it. It is affordable, pigmented, and travel-friendly. However, this Rimmel palette may just have beaten the Sleek one. This kit only costs £6.99, whereas the Sleek one is £9.99 Firstly, the packaging is very good looking. The lid had rose-gold on it, and it lifts up to reveal the powders nestled in sturdy, black plastic. That being said, this type of plastic lid does have a tendency to break at the hinge. So, if it was to spend a lot of time in a makeup bag or handbag, it may not be the one. On the back, it contains a useful

Rimmel Brow This Way Highlighting Pencil - Review

Image
Hi! I have mentioned this is a couple of my earlier posts, but if you don't know, I love highlighters. What I also love, are products that are new and that I haven't tried anything like it before. The products that I am reviewing today is all of those. It is is the Rimmel Brow This Way Highlighting Pencil in the shade '002 Shimmer'. I never thought I needed a highlighter specifically for the brow/eye area, but this little product showed me that I did need one. And it is very affordable as it only costs £4.99! This product is a very cute, little chubby stick, that is iridescent/champagne in colour. The outside of the pencil is the same colour as the highlighter. It is small, but it is mighty. It is a typical wooden pencil, with a clear, plastic lid that fits nicely onto to the top, and feels unlikely to slide off in a makeup bag. The actual highlighter is firm in texture, to applies smoothly to wherever you apply it. it has a slightly warm undertone

Olay Double Action Day Cream & Primer - review

Image
Hi! The thought of waking up first thing in the morning, having to stand in front of your bathroom mirror and doing your 10-15 minute skin care routine can be tiring just to think about. It is why I like skincare products that can minimise the time I spend on skincare/makeup in the morning. A few months back, I first tried the This Works 'In Transit Camera Close-Up', which is a mask, moisturiser, and primer in one. It was an amazing product, but the £28 price tag was, for me, too expensive. So I endeavored to find one in the drugstore and picked up this little gem at only £4.89. This Olay product is a moisturiser and primer all in one. It reduces the time I spend on my skincare/makeup regime as I don't have to wait for my moisturiser to absorb into my skin before I apply my primer.  It is a pale pink cream that comes in a sturdy tub with a black lid, and it comes in a box when you buy it. The packaging certainly makes it feel more than the price that I paid
