contour kit
I've recently rediscovered my love of makeup, after going through a phase of wearing the same things every day. Whilst browsing Superdrug in the Omni Shopping Centre in Santry, I spotted a Makeup Revolution stand- a popular budget brand among many UK bloggers. I knew I just had to buy something, and I fell in love with this palette instantly!  

The palette includes (what I would call) two pressed powders, three contour shades and three highlight shades. Not only are they so so beautiful and perfect for pale skin, but they're also extremely pigmented too, much to my surprise! Without a setting spray they do fade a bit throughout the day, but for just over €10, you really can't go wrong. The packaging is extremely sturdy and it also came in a pretty black and rose gold cardboard box. Makeup Revolution- you've captured this makeup lover's heart!
You can shop the Ultra Contour palette online here.

Hey everyone,
As mentioned in my last review of a Sleek product [the Original eyeshadow palette], I was super excited to finally try some Sleek products when they arrived in Ireland. One of their most acclaimed products is their Contour Kit, which I couldn't wait to get my hands on. Being an extremely pale Irish girl, I picked up the shade 'fair' as expected. In all honesty, prior to buying the product I wasn't one for contouring often, as I wasn't too sure about my method.

For those who don't have a clue what I'm talking about, contouring is the sculpting of the face using a dark and light powder or cream product to give the illusion of a more chiseled face. Take for example Kim Kardashian- you thought those cheekbones were really that defined? Think again! Its no lie that Miss K herself uses contouring to get that glowing, defined face she's most famous for.

The Sleek contour kit is perfect for contouring novices like myself- not only does it include the dark powder and highlighter, but also a little instruction booklet for those who need it. I'm highly impressed with this product- the contouring powder is extremely pigmented, meaning a little goes a long way! I can see myself having this pocket sized palette for ages. I do find that if you use even one dab too much, it can come out a bit orange, which is why I don't use alot. The highlighter is just as good, giving a glowing, gleaming face when used in correct quantities. I use an Avon angled contouring brush for the contour powder and Crown Brush blush brush for the highlighter.




For just €6.49, you really can't go wrong! Sleek products are available in Ireland on boots.ie.
