Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Cream Kit Review

Ever since contouring became in-fashion in the makeup world, I wanted to bag myself a decent contour kit. I did purchase a powder based one from Makeup Revolution but it just didn't blend as I wanted it to. I thought why not treat myself and I had a look at ABH. I found they had a contour cream kit rather than a powder one and I just had to buy one and have a look myself.

I bought the fair colour as I'm quite fair skinned and thought it would be perfect. It comes with 6 shades to highlight and contour with and they're all creamy and blend easy with a blending sponge (I use Real Techniques).

The shades are called (Top left to bottom right) Soft Light, Lustre, Fair, Fawn, Shadow and Mink. I mainly use Soft Light to conceal in a way (as I then use Mac highlight on top. I recently did a review on this) then Shadow for contouring. These cost around £40 and due to them being American based if you do a search with UK at the end there are few places that sell. Cult Beauty is the place I got mine from.

Mac Mineralize Highlighter Review

I've found it! I've finally found it. THE perfect highlighter in the world (well so far). I've been testing out different highlighters that won't either wash me out or make me look too orange and I came across Mac Mineralize Skinfinish highlighter. The colour is named 'Soft & Gentle' and I have to say it's the perfect mix of peachy pink colours.

 You can buy this amazing highlight from Mac for around £24. It is definitely worth the money as it lasts a while and is super pigmented so you don't need a lot.

I apply this using a Mac 184 duo fibre fan brush to my cheek bones, tip of the nose, chin and forehead. Basically all the usual highlight places. It gives your a skin a soft dewy finish.

I swatched this so you can see above how beautiful and shimmery the highlight is. Let me know if you have any other amazing highlights as I'm always looking for new ones!

The things I can't live without

Never really shown people what I carry around with me in my super huge handbag. So I thought I'd let you all in on my secret.

These are pretty much all the things I literally NEED in my bag to survive the day. I always have some form of diet coke/Pepsi in my bag as I think I have a slight addiction to them. My purse (of course) for all that money I (don't) have. My trusty notebook where I jot EVERYTHING down from blog ideas to appointments. My mobile phone. I think I would die if this was left somewhere. Car keys, I wouldn't be able to go anywhere without these. I rely too much on my car.

A bit of liptstick and my powder (just for little touch ups through the day). My body spray. I have to say this is the best body spray I've found. It's Pure Devotion and is from New Look. You can buy the body spray and parfume for £9.99 in stores. Bit of a bargain if you ask me. Sunglasses. Bit optimistic I know but hey-hoy. This is why, ladies, my bag is so huge. I do also carry my camera around with me all the time but I took the photo with it sooooo you get the idea.
