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?

The Best 'Ultra' Cover And Conceal Secret


For anyone who may have been living under a rock and haven't heard of Makeup Revolution, get up and go to your nearest Superdrug and buy as many of their gorgeous palettes as you possibly can! *Read the rest of this blog post first ;)* I do own some other Makeup Revolution palettes which I have saved as draft posts so keep an eye out for those!


There are three different shades of palettes. I picked up the shade called Light-Medium as it was a middle of the range mix of different concealer shades. I felt the just Light palette was a bit too wishy washy for my skin tone. The palette comes with 8 different shades which is amazing considering it is only £6! I tend to stick to the same three shades but some of the darker ones would be great for contouring with.


I love how pigmented these concealers are. I use this palette everyday making it a huge essential in my everyday makeup bag. The consistency of the concealer is a lot more creamier than I expected. They don't dry out my skin which is what I was mostly worried about. I find that I do still need to top of my powder to stop the concealer from creasing under my eye area, but as a whole they blend in really well and do exactly what a concealer should do. Cover.

Anyone else tried any Makeup Revolution products?

KIKO MILANO // Radiant Touch Creamy Stick Highlighter




Since KIKO opening in Milton Keynes I can't stop myself from popping in and picking up more and more products. Lately my entire makeup bag is pure KIKO and I am loving it! Highlight is something that can either make or break your makeup look. Too much and you can end up looking a little bit like a shiny egg. (My first experience with a power highlight ended up a bit like that) I love a good highlight on my cheek bones. With an unfortunate chubby cheek thing going on, a little contour and highlighter never goes a miss with me!


This highlighter is so creamy and easy to apply. I do still apply this to a brush just because I feel it can leave a bit of an obvious line on my face if I don't blend it in enough. Luckily for me it is definitely quite a subtle shimmer on the tops of the cheek bones which I prefer. I feel this would be a great highlighter for you to start off with if you are a beginner. The lasting power of this highlighter is also something I am really impressed with. I feel like when I apply it in the morning I don't need to retouch throughout the day. (100% a good highlight for a night out!) 

KIKO do two shades. I picked up the colour GOLD. I felt like the ROSE colour was too pink for my complexion and looked more like a cream blush. You can pick it up here. I think for £8.50 it is a real steal. 


Anyone else tried any KIKO products?

Keepin' Those Cheeks Flushed


Urban Decay are renown for their palettes and this one does not disappoint. I picked up this one quite a while back when I went to Paris and have used it so much ever since. I find it so handy to have a tri of three all in one place. It contains a blush, highlighter and bronzer for your face and cheeks. With four different pallets there is a shade for everyone to enjoy. You can pick them up for £23.50 from the Urban Decay website or some selected stores.




I picked up the Naked Flushed in Strip. Compared to the others I would say this one has a much darker mauve pink blush with no glitter or metallic look too it which is what I prefer in a blush like this. The pigment of this blush is insane. You hardly have to sweep your brush to get enough to cover both cheeks which is really good as you can build up the colour more and more. 

The highlighter is a dream. It makes you cheekbones all glowy and beautiful. It has undertones of gold in this highlighter which reflects beautifully in the light. I love nothing more than a highlighted cheek.

The bronzer I would say is a tad too dark for my complexion but by being careful I can defo make it work. *Inserts wide eye emoji* I would say this would be a lot more suited to a more tanned skin tone and as I sometimes fake tan this one does work for me on nights out!

Anyone else tried any of the other Flushed pallets?

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
