Gettin' my glow on // Honey bronze

Hello lovelies,

Like any twenty-year-old girl I absolutely love having a tan but as much as I'd love to hop abroad a catch a real one that just isn't possible. This is where the trusty bottle of fake tan comes out but to be honest I've just never found one that leaves me with a glowing tan. That was until I saw the Honey Bronze range from The Body Shop...

 With the sun finally making an appearance and The Body Shop having a 3 for 2 offer I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get my glow on and try out some of their products. I picked up the Shimmering Dry Oil, the Honey Bronze Drops Of Sun and the Highlighting Dome.

1. Shimmering Dry Oil - £18

Now this product isn't to be confused with your bog standard fake tan because it doesn't give you that kind of intensity. Instead the oil leaves you with a more of a sun kissed shimmery tan which is a lot more subtle but much more realistic looking. I much prefer this instead of my normal tan because it leaves my skin feeling hydrated but doesn't leave a greasy feel like most oil based products do. Even though it is quite pricey I've found a little goes a long way so I reckon this product will last me quite a while and will be perfect to apply over a real tan in the summer!

2. Drops Of Sun - £12

This product can be mixed into anything... but preferably in moisturiser or foundation to give you a golden glow. I find this is perfect to use on my face after I've applied my shimmering dry oil so that my face actually matches the rest of my body! One of the things I love the most about this product is that it is shimmer free. I find a lot of bronzed face products contain shimmer which I find on me makes me look totally OTT but this one leaves me looking glowy as hell! Again this product will last me forever because one drop is more than enough.

3. Highlighting Dome - £9

I just couldn't resist yet another highlighter! I'm obsessed. The shade of this highlighter is 01 and reminds me of Mac Soft and Gentle but in a cream version (heaven I know). The shape of this product is perfect because I can just swipe the tops of my cheek bones so easily and it leaves a shimmery highlight. I also find this product to be easy to blend and for only £9 I've definitely been getting my moneys worth.

I can't wait to try more of The Body Shop's products as I've only just got into shopping there but I'm sure I'll be writing up another review on their stuff soon! I hope you enjoyed this post and I'd love to see some of your comments below<3

Maybelline Master Contour V // Review

Contouring can be scary. I'm always worried I'll end up having two browny/orange lines down the sides of my face and a super shiny forehead. I've always stuck to using powder contour kits and ones that are quite light but this one is a complete game changer!

Let's chat about the actual look of the product first. I love how chubby the stick itself is. It's not too big so pops into a makeup with ease. I also love the idea of having the contour colour one side and the highlighter the other side. The colours are both really pigmented! I picked up the shade fair! It's £6.99 which is so cheap considering its a duo stick. You can pick it up here from Boots.

It is so creamy and glides on the skin perfectly. It leaves a matte finish which I love because sometimes I find contouring can leave you looking a bit shiny and over the top. As it's so creamy you can blend it in really well because when you first apply I will warn you it can look a bit scary! You can either draw it on where you want then blend with your fingers or do what I do which is use a beauty blender. Either works fine!

Has anyone else tried this product or any other new contour products recently?

Super Sleek // Blush Review

Blushes are one of those things I have way too many off, yet still I can't stop myself from buying more. Sleek are such a high quality yet affordable brand that I have quickly become obsessed with. *Insert heart eyed emoji* The only place I have seen Sleek to been sold as a brand is Superdrug. Let me know in the comments if you know anywhere else in the UK that you can get hold of Sleek! 

Lets just start off with how the packaging of these products really truly represents the brands name. They are so sleek. I love how simple and practical they are. Plus, a mini mirror is always handy!!! The pigment of these blushes are insane. You only need a tiny swipe on your brush which means they last for so long. 100% worth the money considering they are only £4.49! 

Shade- Flushed

This was the first shade I picked up from Sleek. I was looking for a new pink blush that wasn't too much for my pale complexion. As the name suggests it does make you cheeks look naturally flushed and rosey. It has a deep pink in comparison to most light pinks I normally wear. It has a matte finish on my face which I love as it means I can use highlighter without feeling super sparkly!

Shade- Pomegranate

The pigment of this shade is insane. It leaves a metallic pink/purple finish which I love. I love that this colour leans more towards being a purple shade as I'm a sucker for anything purple. The metallic finish isn't for everyone and it can be quite shocking when you first apply so you do need to make sure you only use a small amount and build it up so the pigment doesn't clog in one place! (My 1st proper tip YAY)

Shade- Rose Gold

This shade is by far my favourite out of the three. Rose gold as a colour is beautiful and this blush recreates it amazingly! This shade has been said to be a dupe for NARS Orgasm blush and as much as I'd love to say it does I would like to point out it is Orgasm is more pink and less golden than this shade. I love the golden tinge this leaves on my face. You definitely don't need too use any highlighter with this product!

Has anyone used any other products from Sleek? Let me know below!

Makeup Revolution // Golden Sugar Palette

The Golden Sugar Ultra Blush Palette was released at the beginning of this year and is one of three Makeup Revolution's Ultra Blush palettes. All of the palettes cost £6.00 each which is amazing considering they contain 8 different blush, bronze and highlight colours.

I am completely in love with the three bronze colours in this palette as I feel they really suit my skin tone. They are all completely different shades and finish. One has a shimmery glow to it as it contains some highlight which looks amazing on the tops of my cheek bones. I am a sucker when it comes to the matte shade as it reminds me of Benefits 'Hoola'.

The blushes are very light on the skin and aren't as pigmented as I normally go for. This means you have to build up the colour on your cheek by reapplying the shade. I love the dusty pink colour. I looks very natural on the skin unlike darker pinks which don't suit me as well.

The highlighters in this palette are gorgeous and really make a difference in my complexion. I feel the slightly bronzed highlighter works best as it doesn't leave the dreaded white line across my cheek! (Yes I have been a victim of this is many of my early nights out-.-)

Over all the palette is beautiful and I am definitely going back to Superdrug to pick up some more. The value for money you get with the Makeup Revolution items is astonishing. They are such good quality for such a little price! My fav.

Any Makeup Revolution beauty finds you've tried? Let me know in the comments!

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Highlighter // Review

Hello lovlies! As promised I am uploading weekly again, yay! This post is going to be linked with other posts I do in the upcoming weeks as I brought a few new MAC products and want to review each one separately:)

When I went to Oxford a few weeks ago I popped into the rather large MAC counter in Debenhams. Unfortunately, where I live doesn't have a MAC counter which means I either have to go to MK centre or order online. (I hate ordering makeup online unless it's a repurchase!) My boyfriend actually brought the two products I got as part of my Christmas present. One of these items was the Mineralize Skinfinish Powder in the shade Soft & Gentle.

I love this shade so much simply because it isn't too dark so it can be used either lightly as a highlighter for the cheekbones or can be built up for more of a bronzing look. The shimmer is so intense in this product and adds such a natural glow when caught in the light, Below are two images; One taken with the flash and the other without just to show the shimmer better.

The power had a high metallic finish on the skin and feels so smooth. It's known for its velvet finish which is one of the reasons I chose this product. I use to add definition mainly to the tops of my cheekbones but also down the bridge of my nose and even under my eyebrows to give a polished finish.

I can't recommend this product enough. It's a perfect highlighter! As always I love discovering new products so if you are loving anything at the moment feel free to share with me!:D
