Highlighters!

Hi guys & gals! I thought that I would come at you guys with a post today on some of my favourite highlighters that I have been using recently! as there is not a lot taking up my time this Saturday. Contour and highlighting is my absolute favourite thing when doing my makeup, I definitely feel something is missing when I don't highlight and contour, it has become a crucial step in my everyday makeup routine, I switch it according to my mood... a.k.a whether I have enough time in the morning. So here they are:

 

Sleek Highlight from the contour kit:

 

 

I initially bought this product for the contour powder rather than the highlighter as it is raved about so much on the blogsphere so I had to try it and it has definitely has lived up to its hype 10/10 for this contour and highlighter product. I have in the darkest shade for a strong contour and highlight.

 

MAC Mineralise Skinfinsh - Gold Deposit

 

 

As you can probably tell Gold Deposit is a completely different consistency to the Sleek Highlighter it does have chunky glitter which can be a complete no! for some but during the summer its gorge, the sleek highlighter is a lot more suitable for everyday use. I'm probably going to get a lot of use out of Gold Deposit during my holiday to South Africa in December.

 

Accessorise Baked Duo - Bondi (shade 4):

 

 

This is another highlighter that is great for everyday use, I usually switch between this highlighter and the Sleek highlighter for everyday or sometimes I even layer the two on top of one another thats if I'm having a particularly good day, they look great together. With Bondi I have to mix the two shades together to get the desired highlighted effect or else the left shade can look ashy if used on it's own & these are super affordable they come a varied amount of shades!

 

Sleek blush highlight - Guipure

 

 

Guipure is the middle shade, its literally the most gorgeous shade and it's orangey, golden undertones  compliments my skin tone really well as it would with anyone who is a shade or two lighter or darker than me. It comes from the blush by 3 palette in lace, also really affordable.

 

Thanx for stopping by :)

Acessorize Matte Lipstick | Passionate

For those of you that do not follow me on Twitter or Instagram, I just recently turned 17 on the 12th of November and one of the things that I got was this gorgeous lipstick which is right on trend for this season. I've been wanting a deep shade like this for a long time now and the ones that I was researching were MAC's "Cyber" and "Film Noir" and I was a bit hesitant on getting one of those only because I wasn't completely sure how they were going to look on me, I did however get MAC's "Ruby Woo", because its such a universal, classic retro red shade, I knew I couldn't go wrong getting it, please let me know whether I should do a post on that because I am aware that there tons and tons of video's and posts. Okay, so I should probably get into this:

 

In the tube it looks like a very deep wine colour which immediately attracted me to it because it's just the shade that I have been looking for, it is also matte which I love because matte finishes are my favourite, some people like more of a glossy finish to their lips and if you are one of these people then I'm glad to let you know that this lipstick does come in a glossier version. It cost only £5.00 which I think is pretty good and sooooo worth it, the staying power is really great and I'm sure that has something to do with the fact that it's matte finish, even though it is matte I don't find it that drying but it would be wise to exfoliate and moisturize before hand. This lipstick comes with 3.5g of product, it also has lip gloss on the top of the lid if you wanted to add gloss over the top of it, I find it great to line your lips with, with a lip brush.  

 

 

If you are of lighter skin tone and think that this would be too dark for you than I recommend you get "infatuated" which is still a lovely wine colour just not as dark as this one.

 

 

The packaging is the classic Accessorize print which is the floral print, very cute!

 

 

I did do a quick swatch on my hand so that you guys could see the colour and formulation of the lipstick a bit better. This also helps if you are close to my skin tone and need some indication to what it would look like on you, I know I always find that really helpful.

 

 

I think that this lipstick would look really nice with a neutral, simple eye look, winged liner and mascara. It's such a statement vampy shade! Let me know in the comments what you think about this shade or just accessorize makeup in general.
