Benefit Complexionista palette

Hi guys!
Today I'm going to be reviewing the Benefit Complexionista palette. I have been testing this out for about 2 weeks now and I wanted to give you guys my opinion on this palette. It comes with 6 pans 2 concealers, 2 bronzer's, and 2 highlights. This palette is quite small in size which makes it very handy for travelling in particular.  Below I have created a look using this palette. I used the shade no.1 in boi-ing industrial strength concealer I placed this under my eyes and on my chin. I then started contouring using the shade Hoola under by cheek bones. I used a Real Techniques contour brush from the core collection. I then used the shade Hoola light to bronze up the rest of my face. I used the '3' technique I've seen many celebrities use this method. So you start on the temples of your forehead you then go down in a sweeping motion towards under your cheek bones area where you applied your bronzer earlier. Then you continue your brush down along the edge of your jaw line to create a more defined line. You can do this method as harsh or as soft as you would like by using more or less product on your brush. I love these two bronzer's for contouring and sculpting the face.
Finally I used the Watt's Up cream highlighter in this palette. Unfortunately the shade was too dark for my skin and it had very poor pigmentation so I decided to use a different highlighter in the end. In general I don't usually use cream highlighters just because they tend to move around my foundation underneath. I much prefer using powder highlighters as they don't move your base and you have more control in applying them.
Overall I think this is a nice little palette if you are looking for a cheaper way to get your hands on the Hoola bronzer's. However I could only use 3 out of the 6 pans that came in this palette. The highlighters in here just didn't work for me personally and I couldn't use the second shade of the concealer either as the shade is too dark for me however they might work better on medium to dark skin tones.

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea

Testing make up brushes from Lidl?!

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be reviewing the Miomare professional cosmetic brush set from Lidl. I was in Lidl last week and saw these. They were only €5 and I thought they would make an interesting blog post. This is an eight piece set that includes a powder brush, a blush brush, an eye shadow brush, a mascara wand, a lip brush, an eyeliner brush, an eye shadow applicator and  a brush roll . All the brushes are 100% synthetic. There were a few different colours of the brush rolls but I just got the black faux leather one. I was testing these brushes out over the weekend and I have some mixed feeling about them. My favourite brushes in this set are the powder and the blush blushes. I also really like the mascara wand. However I didn't enjoy the rest of the brushes. The eyeshadow brush did not apply product on my eyelid very well. The eyeshadow applicator, eyeliner and lip brushes weren't very useful for me. I don't usually use these tools when applying my make up anyway

What's in Penney's right now!
