MAC: Amber x 9 Eyeshadow Palette

Hello! I have been facing a bit of a problem over the past couple of weeks; i cannot stop spending my money on MAC beauty products. It sounds silly but this is quickly becoming a big addiction and i am not willing to stop!

This Amber x 9 Eyeshadow Palette was released along with three other beautiful ones recently. They are small in size, which makes them amazing for travelling and contain 9 eyeshadows. In the UK these cost £30.00, which for 9 small shadows, is expensive. However, it is so worth it.

This amber palette is amazing for all eye colours. I have brown eyes, and picked this set personally because of the gorgeous golds, i feel that they really accentuate brown eyes and pick up all sorts of unusual colours within the eye.

I have seen various reviews saying these shadows are nowhere near as pigmented as regular MAC shadows, but with these being my first ones, i can say i'm impressed. Using a Nanshy eyeshadow brush i felt that enough colour was picked up to give a gentle sweep of colour, however a few more brush strokes back in the pan were needed to build up for a more intense look. The colours when used with a primer last nicely and remain matte/sparkly/creamy all day.

(Don't tell, Aromatic and Pepper Please)

Cozy Grey: This is a gorgeous creamy matte, it is a very light grey and is cool toned.

Kitties: This shadow is a light bronze/grey and has a frost finish.

Georgia Peach: Another matte shadow, this is a soft muted warmer toned pink. 

Ricepaper: This is a peach colour with gentle gold shimmers with a frosted finish.

Creative Copper: My favourite! A gorgeous gold shimmer with copper undertones, lustre finish

Cork: A soft golden brown colourn great for the crease, satin finish

Don't tell: Sparkly brown with slight purple undertones and a lustre finish

Aromatic: A deep matte brown 

Pepper Please: A cool deep brown with gold sparkles and a velvet finish

Ultimate contour and highlight products!

FINALLY. After so long looking for products to make my face look defined and angelic, i have found them! Say goodbye to muddy orange bronzers and glitterbomb highlighters, and hello to the perfect products of all time!

MAKEUP REVOLUTION ULTRA CONTOUR PALETTE £8.00
After seeing the official Makeup Revolution Instagram post announcing the arrival of this palette, i was literally jumping around the house, one of my favourite makeup brands was bringing out one of my favourite products!

The kit contains 2 matte highlighters perfect for under eye, 1 gentle skin toned shimmery highlighter, two gorgeous cheekbone highlighters and 3 contour shades.

The texture of these powders are amazing. They are unlike any other powder at all, and feel so smooth and creamy. They sit really nicely on the skin and don't have any fall out whatsoever. My absolute favourite shade is the second contour shade on the bottom row. It suits my pale skin so well and leaves me gently bronzed without looking like an orange or like i haven't had a wash for a long time!

Another favourite is the yellow toned matte highlighter second across on the top row. It's nice and light for applying on top of concealer and gives a gorgeous brightened effect. The shimmery highlighters are also to die for! I love the white and gold swirled one however the more bronzed one is honestly perfect. I recommend this product so much for a great contour kit and for the price of £8 you cannot go wrong.

ARTIST OF MAKEUP (ZUKREAT COSMETICS) CONTOUR STICK £18
I'm going to be honest, i  was slightly nervous ordering this product. From reviews online it looked so pigmented and strong i was worried it was going to be very brown and very dark on my pale skin. I was so wrong! Because this product is a cream stick, it blends in so well. It feels so creamy and hydrating. This is definitely a product i would use for special occasions as it's so lovely and makes such a difference to my contour routine. It is on the higher end of the price scale (for me, a massive saver) however it is 100% worth it!

THE BALM - MARY LOUMANIZER £17.50
I have spoke about this highlighter 100 times before and i'm sure alot of other people have too. But it's honestly gorgeous and you cannot go wrong with it. Its creamy and not too powdery, glowy and gorgeous and the packaging is just so fun. This adds such a perfect highlight to any look and is bound to get you compliments! There isn't much more i can say about this highlight as it is just an ultimate favourite, if you haven't tried it, please do you will not regret it!

Thankyou so much for reading! I am honestly so relieved i have found some great products for contouring and highlighting, it took a long time!
