Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand Review

Charlotte Tilbury; the name on ALL beauty bloggers lips. After purchasing quite a few of her magnificent lipsticks, I thought I would venture into something a little different.

I managed to bag this in a Latest In Beauty Box a few months back (they sold out in seconds) and this was of the products included.

Firstly, just look at that beautiful gold packaging, it looks so posh haha!

The applicator (as seen above) is a foam cushion. You simply twist the product to allow the product to come through. Although as you can see, I twisted mine a little too much and loads came out (oh deer) PS: Remember to twist this closed: You don't want it spilling and ending up everywhere!

You use the sponge applicator to apply and blend the product onto the desired parts of the face, using a buffing brush (I usually use my Real Techniques Brushes; although I have my eye on the Little Mermaid collection from Spectrum at the moment!)

You can use the sponge applicator to apply the products on the hollows of the cheeks, then buff into the skin, you can also apply it on the jawline, forehead and anywhere on your face you wish to sculpt.

One first application, the product seemed too dark, but I had used far too much: So remember a little goes a long way!

I have the shade fair/medium, and I find the shade VERY dark, however I am ghostly pale and finding contouring and bronzing products light enough for my skin is very difficult.

I've found that because the product is quite dark, I have to buff it into the skin for quite awhile and I have to be sure not to use too much product.

The product is so creamy and very easy to use, if your new to contouring then this is a really good product to start with, as it is very easy to use and has a lovely, blendable formula

I'm not great at contouring, but I found that this product made it a lot easier, its easy to apply, blend and it definitely makes my skin glow (without looking too heavy)

The Hollywood contour wand is designed to be lightweight, buildable and blendable, and it definitely ticks all of those boxes!

MAC Strobe Cream Mini Review

Strobing is something I'd never even heard of until I started watching Rupauls Drag Race a few years ago (in the Sharon Needles Era: AKA the good ol' days!) Strobing has been described as overdone highlighting: However strobing to me is not only highlighting certain facial features but also adding dimension and texture to the area too. Admittedly, its not something I would bother doing every day. But on special occasions I like to highlight my favourite features (usually my cheekbones) I received the MAC Strobe Cream as a little try-out sample after buying too many lipsticks over on the MAC website. I was pretty chuffed as I've wanted to try out the Strobe Cream for ages now! MAC describe the Strobe Cream as 'a moisturiser that boosts the look of dull skin and luminises with iridescent particles' So perfect for my tired skin that needs a bit of a boost! I love the little packaging, in fact I would say I'm a bit obsessed with miniature ve...

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer Review

I'm obsessed with concealers, and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect one! I currently use the Nars Radiant Concealer ( Review Here ) for under my eyes and the Benefit Boi-ing Concealer for spots etc. I recently purchased the Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer as I'd read good reviews online and I wash hoping it might be a dupe for my trusty Nars Concealer. Firstly there is one massive downside to this concealer: There are only THREE Shades! That just seems lazy! Especially in this day and age where you can purchase some concealers which have over 30 shades to choose from! I have the shade 'Light' and for once, it is indeed actually Light! It's gorgeously pale (it may even be too pale for some people, so I would suggest swatching it next to the other shades if unsure) It is specifically designed for the delicate eye area and it offers 24 hour hydration to the area around the eyes to offer hydration throughout the day, leaving eyes...

Balance Me Rose Otto Face Oil Review

An oil for your face? Yes, Yes, Yes! If you would have told me years ago, when I was a hormonal teenager with many breakouts to use oil on my face I would have laughed at you, but the Balance Me Rose Otto Face Oil, has made such a difference to my skin, I am a complete oil convert. I have quite red, sensitive, often sore skin and this calms it right down. Its deeply nourishing and hydrating. I've heard it described as a conditioner for the skin. I usually use it a night when my skin is looking dry and frazzled. As you can see with the roller-ball application, you just roll it onto the skin (I swipe across each cheek and my forehead) and then gently massage into the skin. Its just such a gorgeous and luxurious feeling treat for the skin. It has never broke me out and it has kept my skin feeling and looking a lot more luminous. It doesn't make my skin shinny and doesn't leave any kind of weird residue on the skin; leaving my skin feeling moisturised and l...
