Sleek face contour kit | Review

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!

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?

Bourjois color boost lip crayon



Hello everyone how are you all doing? This is my first lipstick post i have done eek! I have featured this in my August favourites here and now i am going to do a full review on the product. If you didn't know recently Bourjois released their latest offering of lip products which are the color boost glossy finish lipstick/lip crayon. They are described as having a melty formula which leaves a radiant veil of the colour over the lips and providing shine and moisture to enhance each shade.They come in four different shades and i opted for shade 2 called Fuschia pink.


This is first kind of lip crayon i have ever purchased so for me i have nothing to compare it to already but, i love this product! The application of this crayon is dreamy,it applies so smoothly onto the lips and really does melt well into them,its so easy to apply as you are able to trace your lip outline with the crayon tip easily, i usually go back over the lips a few times to ensure maximum coverage but to be honest i love how nice it feels to apply that i probably do it too much haha.



As for the colour i am really pleased i picked this shade because i didn't have any like this in my collection. Its called Fuschia pink but i would also liken it to a cerise shade of pink, its quite bright pink but it doesn't appear as bright as the packaging and its actually a nicer colour than it i think. I love how glossy the colour is applied,it's definitely a cross between a lipstick and a lip gloss as unfortunately the gloss does fade if you eat or drink something but i guess that's normal for products like these, but the colour stain stays on my lips all day without topping up,but of course if you want the glossy finish all day you do need to keep applying it when and as needed.Overall i would definitely repurchase and try some of the other colours!

 I hope you enjoyed reading my first lipstick review! Please let me know if there is anything i could improve it,i love hearing from you all! What do you think of this colour? Have you tried any of the color boost lip crayons?
