Models Own Sculpt and Glow Contour Palette

I must admit that the Models Own brand was not really on my radar, let alone a contour palette. I don't contour. But, after watching a youtuber, Kat from KitschSnitch, use the product in a "Get ready with me" video, it worked so well for a budget priced product that I had to buy it for myself.

Taken from Priceline- "Get your game face on with this all-in-one contour palette that suits all skin tones. With blusher, highlighter and bronzer that can be blended for sculpting perfection, this is all you need to face the world."

The palette comes in a white plastic rectangle compact with the Models Own logo in a cool holographic finish. My only gripe with the packaging is that it can be a pain to open, not great when you're wearing nail polish.


The compact contains a trio, starting from left to right with contour , highlighter and blush. It's actually in the order of use for me, which I like. There is a nice sized mirror. Another thing to note is that the compact is sturdy enough for travel.
The contour shade is definitely a bronzer shade for me. I like that it is warm but not too orange. The highlighter is a light golden shade which is perfect for my complexion. I love that I can get the subtle highlight that I like, yet it can be built up. There is shimmer, but it's not too obvious once applied and I glow rather than sparkle. Last but certainly not least, is the blush. It is a gorgeous peachy shade with golden shimmer. Very much like the Sleek Rose Gold that I love, which I have heard many times is a close dupe to the cult favourite Nars Orgasm blush. 

The powders are all pretty fool-proof. I prefer face products to be buildable and not too pigmented and these are perfect for me. They also blend so well. I am so impressed with this handy face trio and am happy to have it in my collection. 

I'll show the trio looks in action.

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
