I have had another play around with some of my makeup, it was defiantly long overdue a good clear out. I actually enjoy having a good de-clutter of my makeup... when I am in the mood! I get to find items that I had forgot about or items that I have not used for a while. Plus a change to get rid of some that have been kept way too long!

I have still been loving Skinny Tan's tanning oil. that is what I have on here on my body. I have not used it on my face. I still love the overnight elixir when I feel that my face needs  a top up.

I have been loving  LOreal Paris 24HMatte Waterproof Foundation. This is a drugstore foundation that I keep on going back to and I love the finish. I have been setting my makeup with the bareMinerals BAREPRO Performance Wear powder. This has become one of my new favorites. It is a lovely coverage and certainly stays put! The highlight a blush are both from Pixi and I just love the glow!

My eye shadow is from the Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette I have spoke about this before and I still love it! I am wearing some cluster eyelashes here, do wish that they were naturally this thick! My eyebrows, I have filled in with the Makeup Revolution brow pomade, still a big fan of this I have been switching between this and the Kat Von D eyebrow pencil

Lips is the Kylie Lip Kit in the shade Koko K. Think this is the first time I have spoke about this I have tried a few shades from the range. It does last well as a liquid lipstick, just not sure it is completely worth all the hype that surrounded it

Hope you have a great weekend!

I have been sent over some lovely hair care items to try from Loreal Professional

They sent be 4 items in total: A shampoo and a conditioner. A hair mask and a hair oil. I was really excited to try these, my hair lately has not felt in the best condition, think this is partly down to the colder weather. But I also have some highlights in my hair. This time of year I normally go darker, but I just fancied a bit of a change this year.

The first item is the hair mask:

It's ideal for those with thick hair. For a little extra luxury treat, apply from root-to-tip at night, and wash out in the morning.

This smells amazing and is a really thick consistency. I think that this has done a lot to improve the condition of my hair to!

Aside from symbolizing peace, this seed is enriched with vitamin C which is known to help hair damaged by coloration. Cranberry oil is helps to nourish and protect colour treated hair whilst leaving a stunning healthy glow

This hair oil to smells amazing. it didn't leave my hair feeling greasy which is a must for me. it also has a pump on the bottle which I much prefer, I think it saves so much mess, don't you? 

NUTRIFIER SHAMPOO

Nutrifier | 300 ml

Glycerol &

coconut oil

Dry hair

Undernourished hair

Leaves hair nourished 

Hair feels softer and appears shinier

Glycerol

Coconut Oil

Constructed with glycerol and coconut oil, the Serie Expert Nutrifier shampoo offers just the right dose of nourishment to dry hair. Glycerol helps to hydrate and nourish, while coconut oil brings shine to the hair.

This silicone-free shampoo cleanses and leaves the hair softer, more supple and shinier.

Apply evenly to wet hair. Lather. Rinse. In case of contact with eyes, rinse them immediately.

The signs of dry hair include a raised hair cuticle, hair that lacks shine, feels rough and tangles easily. Hair can be dry for different reasons, from genetics to natural aggressions such as humidity, sun, and pollution. If left untreated, hair becomes more fragile and prone to breakage.

I also loved both the shampoo and conditioner, I liked how the shampoo bottle size is slightly larger than the conditioner, as I always get through shampoo faster than conditioner

I have had a lot better luck with these two contour kits in particular, the first been the Define and Contour Kit by Seventeen. The 2nd the Loreal Infallible Sculpt Contour Kit. I have to say how much I love both of this kits! Seventeen's is a powder kit and Loreal is a cream consistency in the UK version. Depending on what is your preference or skin type there may be a formulation that is more suited to your skin type. I would say that I have a combination skin type and I didn't have a problem with either of these.

Firstly the Seventeen Pallett:

I love the packaging for this it looks really sleek and the mirror fills the entire lid which is so useful especially for travel, it almost has a Nars feel to it which I love! I did my usual foundation/ concealer routine then used this as a final step. I used my real techniques brush and it blends out so perfectly it is really an amazing consistency it didn't look cakey. I would say i could set my makeup with this product, I don't get particularly oily skin but this product did last very well on me. They are both Matt shades so the highlighter doesn't leave you with a shimmery glow but is is brilliant down the bridge of your nose and under your eyes across  your cheekbones which was here I used it. It is perfect for hollowing out your cheekbones.

Next the Loreal Pallet:

I was excited to see this as it was a cream consistency which I have not seen so much of in drugstores. The packaging on this pallet for me doesn't look at good, I know that is not the most important thing for a beauty product but it looks cheaper and the mirror that is on the lid had actually come unstuck on the mine so was face down in the product which was not a good start! It was easy to rectify though. You do get plenty of product in this pallet I was suprised. The consistency of this product is amazing it's a cream but it's such an opaque colour and isn't greasy at all it almost drys like a powder which I found really interesting. I think it was easier to get more of a chiselled cheekbone look with the cream contour but wasn't as highlighting with it been so matt?

Overall I have loved both of these products will defiantly be repurchasing when these are out
