Sleek face contour kit | Review

After reading many reviews about this Sleek face contour kit I knew that I had to add this to my wishlist for Christmas. I have always been in awe at how celebrities and fellow beauty bloggers contour their faces so well which leaves their skin looking flawless and their faces thinner. I must admit that I had never even used a highlighter before, (*hides in shame*) so I was very happy when I received this for Christmas! This is also my first product that I have tried from Sleek and I must say that I am very impressed!

Admittedly i wasn't too sure how to use the highlighter in the kit so i watched a few YouTube videos which were really helpful and TheVintageVision's was my favourite to watch and she made it look super easy and i think i might have nearly mastered the art of contouring!
The products are both powder formula and are quite pigmented. I picked the contour kit in the shade light but it comes in 3 shades that you can choose from. The kit is a great size which means its easy to take away with you and the mirror is an added bonus if you're on the go a lot! When using the kit i first apply the bronzer with a contouring brush into the hollows of my cheek bones, i apply in to the sides of my temples, underneath my jawline and on either side of my nose, despite being the shade light the bronzer is quite dark and you don't need to apply much or else it ends up looking quite dirty. I then applied the highlighter with my fingers down the middle of my nose,my cupids bow and at the highest part of my cheek bones, i still need to work on the art of that bit though, i also applied it underneath my eyebrows to highlight the arch of them. Everyone knows Kim Kardashian is th babe of contouring and always looks amazing and the picture below is one that i found of her and also shows and explains contouring a bit better!

Source I still cant believe how adding a highlighter to my makeup routine has dramatically changed the way my face looks! My skin looks much more flawless,dewy and makes my face look suitably sculpted! Overall i am SO impressed with this kit and would recommend it to anyone, even if you are a makeup newbie like me haha! At only £6.49 you cant go wrong as individual highlighters and bronzers cost a lot more separately.
What do you think of this product? Have you tried this before? Do you like highlighters and contouring?

Too Faced // The Bronzed & The Beautiful

Hello everyone,i hope you all had a lovely weekend! I'm going to be telling you about my favourite bronzer today. I purchased this set called 'The Bronzed & The Beautiful' while I was shopping in New York last year. I purchased this set from Sephora,my first ever visit to one of their shops and i was in love!!You can also purchase it from boots which retails at £28.00.

The packaging on this is gorgeous, it looks old fashioned with the sepia seafront scene and with the pink and brown stripes. It really reminded me of the soap and glory collection as well as Benefit,maybe this was why I was so drawn towards this product.The set is a perfect size and it contains 4 different shades of bronzer, my favourite is the Chocolate Soleil which is a matte bronzer and it really helps to achieve that darker looking tan if that is the look you're going for. There is the classic bronze which can be used for most looks and this is called Sun Bunny, Snow Bunny is deemed as being a winter bronzer and lastly the Powdered Sun which is great to be used as an illuminating highlighter to contour areas of your face. Also included is the Deluxe Primed & Poreless SPF 20 bronze tint skin smoothing face primer. This can be used before putting on your foundation or bronzer,it also helps to achieve an overall smoother and flawless tan on your face. As I am no makeup artist I love how enclosed in the set is 3 how to do cards; How to lose 10lbs in 10 seconds,Glamour Bronze and Classic Bronze.

I have been using this product for almost a year now and i will definitely be repurchasing!!Personally, I think that the primer included is perfect if you have a natural dark tan anyway but for the times when my skin is pale(most of the year then!) the primer is far too dark for my skin and it ends up making me look like i'm caked in makeup, and not in a good way! I love all of the different bronzers as you are able to achieve different looks  with the added help of the to do cards. I use this product daily and on nights out , and it really does make me look like I have just got back from holiday with the perfect sunkissed tan, it looks so natural as well. On a night out I tend to use the Glamour Bronze look and in the day I usually dull it down a bit with the Classic Bronze. 

This product retails at the high end but for me it was totally worth it and i am still using the one i bought last year,amazing! Although, I am lusting after the Nars Laguna bronzer but is it worth the cost?!Please let me know if you have tried it i would love to know how you got on with it!

Have any of you ever tried this or any other products from the Too Faced range before?
