New Primer Offerings from Smashbox...

Torn myself away from a mattifing primer for 2 seconds and tried something completely out of my comfort zone. Primer Water doesn't exactly sound very 'long wearing' or particularly sticking in terms of keeping your make up on all day to me, to be honest. I wasn't completely sold when I read the packaging in Boots at first sight either, I was a bit weirded out by the concept of it! I then spoke to the counter consultant at Smashbox and she did then explain how this was a primer, setting spray & hydration spray all in one. I tried some on and went for a wander round Boots (absolute story of my life) to test it out....

Drugstore Palettes | Maybelline 'The Nudes'

Could I really resist ANOTHER nude palette? Absolutely not. Pretttyyyy sure my eye palette collection is getting slightly out of control now! But 'The Nudes' palette by Maybelline is a complete drugstore gem that doesn't break the bank, and still delivers with quality, so why not? I absolutely love Maybellines Lash Sensational Mascara (think I might be slightly addicted) & their 24-Hr Colour Tattoo Eyeshadows, so couldn't wait to try this palette out once it came to the UK! I first saw it in a Carli Bybel tutorial on Youtube a few months back & after a quick search couldn't find it in the UK. I actually forgot about it after that disappointing result until I came across it when having a wander round Boots' aisles! Maybelline have always been a firm drugstore favourite of mine when it comes to looking for a cheaper alternative to something, and this is no exception!

The Even Longer Awaited Contour Kit | Anastasia Beverly Hills

Hiya! Back again with something I have been dying to blog about for ages now, but had to give it a full turnaround of trying it out. Ahhh this product has been on my wishlist for SO GOD DAMN LONG. I am such a big fan of contouring & highlighting, and the Anastasia Beverley Hills brand since picking up a few of their bits in NYC. I originally had my eyes on the powder contour kit but this came out on pre-order from Cult Beauty a few weeks back and I just knew I had to try the cream version out first!
