Make-Up Haul!

So yesterday Baby Bee, Hubby Bee and I went shopping for a few things. We had set the goal to be in an out of the shopping centre within an hour, as by the time we left the house it was quite late already and we wanted to go for a meal for lunch after shopping was over. If you're a mother you will empathise with me here that you never get to leave the house on time with a baby. By the time you've fed, burped, changed and dressed them, packed their baby bag and got yourself ready, it becomes time for their next feed, burp and nappy change...going out is like a serious rush against time! Anyway, so we wanted to leave the house at 10.30am, ended up leaving at 1.30pm, by then we were hungry and wanted to get shopping over and done with. Hubby needed a winter jacket (already decided which one before on the net) and baby needed a jacket. '10 minute job', said Hubby Bee.

We got there at 2.30pm, headed straight to Superdry for hubby's jacket, picked and purchased in five minutes. Went to next for little one, but nothing we liked. Went to Gap, but again nothing we liked. We decided to just order something off the internet when we got home and decided to leave. Until of course we started walking past Superdrug... knowing how I am, hubby tried to distract me by talking about something I had no interest in, but I put on my cute face and he gave me '5 minutes' while he waited outside the store. An hour and 15 minutes later I came out cheerfully with these.

- Real Techniques Nic's Picks, containing 3 exclusive brushes

- Superfacialist Age Defying Day Cream (I'm 26 but never to early to start anti-ageing!)

- Sleek Highlighting Palette

- L'oreal Le Blush

- Revlon Cream Blush

By then, we were starving and couldn't wait till lunch. And apparently neither could Baby Bee...roughly another hour later we finally got round to eating a lovely meal, and then going to a dessert place for yummy waffles! 

Anyway, I'm so excited to try these new products, especially the brushes. Looking forward to trying all these and writing up a review for you all! Have you tried any of these yet? Let me know!

Sleek Face Contour Kit: Review

Something that has been driving me a little insane for a while now- there seems to be an abbreviation for everything these days...like OMG seriously, trying to read messages is like having to solve a puzzle! Ok, I am guilty of using a select few abbreviations myself, like LOL (how many of you have actually said LOL out loud in a fit of laughter?! I have...), ASAP- this seems to have become a word now *aysap*, and BRB. But I do not abbreviate the entire english dictionary! Someone messaged me '10Q' the other day...I sat there, blankly staring at my screen, trying to decipher this new puzzle, until I finally relented and replied 'huh'. It's short for 'thank you' *rolleyes*

Also, why do people right 'hugz' if it isn't even a short form of 'hugs'? I've seen people even write 'ily' instead of 'I love you'- don't tell me you love me if you can't even be bothered to type it out! Which reminds me, I was playing Words for you (version of scrabble) the other day, and the opposing player messaged me 'ASL?' I thought THAT had died out a decade ago!! (I did reply. Pretending to be a male. The game was over pretty quickly though...) 

Anyway enough of my moaning and on to my review. The Sleek Face Contour Kit is one of my most used product. I have it in the medium shade, and I absolutely love it. Both the bronzer and highlighter are very pigmented, easy to blend and very buildable if you like dramatic contouring. I prefer to apply the bronzer and highlighter with a soft hand, to a sheer finish.

The bronzer is completely matte, with no shimmer effect which makes it perfect for contouring. The highlighter is very shimmery so you do have to be careful with it. I like apply it to my cheekbones, bridge of nose and on my cupid's bow. Its also perfect to use as a highlighter under the brow and on the inner corners of the eyes.

I would definitely recommend this product and would repurchase again. Although I do not use the bronzer every time, as I'm not much of a contourer, the highlighter is my absolute favourite. I have used this for over a year and still haven't hit pan! It's a perfect size for travel or for your handbag, and costing £6.49 it isn't too heavy on your wallet either. The only problem I have with it is that sometimes it's lid is hard to open as it is quite stiff, otherwise it's a complete winner.

Anyway, I gtg ladies! Have a gr8 weekend!

RATING: 9/10
