Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

Oh my god.

OH MY GOD.

My new favourite make up product on this whole entire planet.

Seriously this kit is amazing! I can't believe how simple it is to use and the results that it gives you.

Before I start chatting on let me show you the kit itself. It comes in a sleek black sleeve and package, making it look very professional.

Open it up and you have 6 shades, 3 to contour with and 3 to highlight. I love the depth of the contour colours! The shades in the highlighters (l to r) are Vanilla, Banana and Sand. With the contour shades it's (again l to r) Java, Faun and Havanna.

The kit also comes with a contouring guide for those who aren't 100% on where to put everything. It just adds to the ease of using the kit.

All I can say is that I am SO impressed! I bought the kit because it is known for it's cult following and I see so many people using it on insta. I'm so happy I decided to get it now. It eliminates the need for even buying bronzers and highlighters because you've got it all there in one complete kit.

I chose to use Java to contour most of my face and Havanna on my temples. Probably should have just stuck to using Java as Havanna is a bit dark for me without any tan on but I still like the way it has come out. To highlight I used Sand on areas where u wanted a bit of a shimmer and Fawn where I wanted it to look more matte.

This is how it ended up looking:

I tried a variety of different angles and using flash etc so that you could see how it looks. None quite got the complete effect but from these you get the idea.

I absolutely adore this product and don't plan on being without it anytime soon. It's amazing. I suggest anyone with a love for all things bronzed and beautiful to go and get this. You may have to wait a couple of weeks as the only place you can get it in the UK is the Anastasia Beverly Hills site but you lucky US people can get it much faster. It's totally worth the cost, I think I paid £36 including shopping but it's sooo worth it!

In terms of other recent buys, I got a new mascara. MAC mascara's are one of the only MAC products that I don't really like. I find they go dry really quickly so you're buying a new one before you've barely had your current one. Therefore as my old mascara was dead I bought this one.

It's the new Loreal Mega Volume Manga Eyes Mascara. I got it for £8.99 at Boots, think this might be an offer cos it's new but you get a vague idea of price.

What mainly attracted me to this was the fact that it has a bendy brush. One of my favourite mascara's is Benefit Get Bent which I believe has now been discontinued, but it was because of it's angled brush. As you can say, this brush has gone one better, and it is mobile so can bend both up and down getting at all those hard to reach lashes.

After looking forward to using this so much I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I found the formula a bit clumpy making my lashes stick together. Nobody likes a spider eyelash look lets face it. After separating them out a bit using tweezers I was much happier with the results.

I'm going to give this mascara a few more chances but I don't know if I would recommend it. Volume Million Lashes by Loreal would definitely still be my go-to.
