1. I've been obsessed with the highlighting palette from Sleek in "precious metals", specially the shade on the bottom left. It gives the. most. amazing. glow.

2. The BeYu compact powder foundation has been under my nose for so long and I never thought it would be this good and give this much coverage but it does. It gives the perfect no makeup effect.

3. I've also been pairing the powder foundation with the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer. This has become i think my number 1 concealer. It has amazing coverage, doesnt crease and lasts aaaall day long. 

4. The NYX lingerie liquid lipsticks also have a really soft texture and they are extremely long lasting and do not transfer. I have these in the shades 08 and 12.

5. Last but not least are 2 little nifty products from Guerlain. These are from the "super tips" range which is a recently launched mini skincare "treats" for the face. I say skin care but in reality I feel like they really are just little "lift me ups" for the face. The yellow one is Radiance in a Flash and it is a primer which I love to apply underneath my foundation or BB cream for a gorgeous glow (amazing finish when paired with the Sleek highlighting palette!!). The pink one is Super Lips and its a really glossy balm for the lips. It smells amaaaaazing (it doesn't really have to do with the quality of the product I know but I love nice smelling make up!!) and it really does moisturise the lips for hours (however I do reapply after eating).

I really like their newest contouring palette which includes 4 powders, a contouring shade, a beautiful pinky blush and 2 strobing shades. One of which is matte and the other has a slight shimmer to it.

I first start by using the bronzey contouring shade just below the apples of my cheeks to give definition and also to make my chubby cheeks look slightly less round and -obviously- less chubby haha! The palette recommends to contour the nose, forehead and jawline as well but I'm not too fond of that on my face because it I have no jawline so it looks funny, and adding on to that, I don't really feel like my nose ans forehead need contouring. 

However I cannot go out of the house without contouring my cheeks, I love love love it. 

Next I apply the blush on the apples of my cheeks and then seal my concealer underneath my eyes with the matt strobing shade. The last step is the highlighter which I place on the cupid's bow (just on the upper lip), on the tip of my nose and on my cheek bones.

And voila! Here is the finished look!

The powders are really pigmented and they go on really well. A little bit of product goes a long way especially if you blend blend blend!
