Seventeen define&conquer contour kit

Like usual I feel a little bit late jumping on the contour post bandwagon but I was super super impressed with this kit I picked up in Boots

Seventeen was never a brand I would ever look at in Boots mostly cause I never heard a lot about there products but once the reviews started flooding in about their 'Define & Conquer Contour Kit' I just had to give it a bash.

I've used blusher for quite a while but bronzer and highlighter are definitely a thing in the past year I've gotten more into and boy I would never look back.

It comes in two shades fair and medium , I picked up medium and think it's a bit dark for me as I have really fair skin but at the time I didn't realised there were to shades, silly me.I apply this with my Real Techniques contour brush for a real defined look.

Naked 2 basics palette // Eyes for beginners

I've never been the biggest user of eyeshadow , although with the eyeliner its a big yes.Thats why until now I have never thought to invest in a palette from urban decay or any high end brand, no matter how much they were raved about.

After Christmas though I had a bit of spare money ,new year , new me , new make up! So I picked up the basics 2 palette just to try out and experiment before I got one of the bigger palettes.
   


This palettes has 6 neutral matte shades starting from the lightest 'Skimp' which is a cream colour to the darkest 'Undone' which is a grey shade.

To apply these shades I use my Real Techniques Nic's picks base shadow brush for the base colour obviously and my angled shadow brush to place in the crease so it's a bit more precise, I use either of these brushes to blend out and my fingers if I get impatient!

I would definitely recommend this palette to anyone who is a bit weary of experimenting with eyeshadow as I was , it has converted me.
