Seventeen Contour Kit

                               

Seventeen ' Define & Conquer' Contour Kit / Link  - £5.99




I love a good old contour going on, it's vastly become a staple part of my make up routine, I don't think i'd not even be able to go without a bit of a the old dusting of the bronzer on my face. I have a fair few freckles and do find I do need to be a little careful so I don't ' over do it' but I just think it gives me so much dimension, it takes away from the freckles and being on the pale side it's kinda, well needed. I do enjoy the look contouring gives and I don't think i'm alone in doing it, I haven't quite mastered the whole Kim K of contouring but we need to start somewhere don't we and what a great way to start when these drugstore brands are absolutely smashing it with their kits and their take on the contouring trend that's hit us and the latest 'must have' kits or cheeks.




Okay so let's get onto the review shall we? - how sleek is this packaging, oh yes in true beauty blogger style I've noticed the somewhat Nars esc packaging that I do love. I do find the powders to be somewhat that little tad chalky, not that much of a big deal really, not for me but others it could be, if that bothers you. I found both powders to be decently pigmented and i'd most definitely go with the term ' buildable' which let's be honest is a good thing not bad. The darker powder obviously defines the face and it does but I did have to tap my brush to ensure I wasn't going to end up 'too chalky' and the lighter - highlighter shade illuminates, isn't orange tinged as some often can be, i'm not one for that whole orange face.

Overall / This has wowed me, contouring and kits like this scare me slightly due to my freckles. I'm light handed but it's so easy to 'over apply' minus it's slight chalky-ness it does blend lovely, and effortless. It's definitely buildable so it's fab for the daytime as well as the night time, or those cheeky nights out where you'd be a little more dramatic. The staying power was very surprising as it really did stay put for the whole day and for the whole night - can't complain, I think we can go as far as saying this is a right old bargain. I think it's a product i'll happily continue to play with and hopefully.. Master the skills of Kim K! Ay, it could happen.

Sleek - Face FORM Contouring And Blush Palette, Light. Link



This brand is really hitting it hard in my opinion I can't help but find myself impressed to tells you the truth, let's be honest look at it ^ isn't gorgeous. I personally know from the pallets - i love them! That their products are that pigmented that a little goes a long way and for your pennies, you can't complain.
I did have the intention of picking up a contour kit to be honest - yep, i wanted to jump on that bandwagon - wait am i too late again?! I couldn't find the Contour Kit sadly but after a few sobs i did see this sticking out of the shelf - multipurpose, and my? Is that a rose gold blusher i spotted? Oh nelly, yes.

The Palette itself is a must've - it's perfect. The Contour powder is a warm matte shade doubling up as your bronzer, The Highlighter is somewhat of glittery one, it's not chunky as ugh. Who's after a highlighter with chunky glitter?! It's beige and sits on top of cheek bones and brow bone gorgeously and effortlessly even this worn alone is lovely. The Blush is what excites me the most a beautiful rose gold shade with a gorgeous peachy, orange undertones it reminds me a lot of the coralista shade from benefit - it's so beaut on those cheeks it's very glowy too so this itself works as a highlight too - £9.99 and available in 4 shades, I personally like to apply the contour powder with my Real Techniques Contour Brush, The blush with my Real Techniques Blusher brush and the highlighter with my Setting Brush as it's perfectly small so it's perfect to dab on the top of the cheek bones - it's beaut.  



How much do you want this now? I'd definitely say this could be used for just a blush, highlighter and as a bronzer - those who do contour like myself i think you should pick this up, it's absolutely lovely. I personally love to contour as i'm fairly pale and fair skinned and i think it just adds something, warmth and dimension to my face i have freckles and can sometimes find wearing certain products quite difficult and can find bronzers to appear quite muddy looking on my face, this however as I've picked up the kit in - light. It's been working lovely and i love how this looks on my skin personally. What a steal!
