I have tried pretty much all of their blushes & their isn't one that I don't like. Granted some I like more than others but none of them like terrible or have no pay off. The lightest in pigmentation is dandelion, but that is due to it's light colour. I actually like it for in the winter when I'm super pale.

Benefit are always on it at this time of year with their gift sets & this year I was lucky enough to get one for my birthday!

The one I got was 'Real Cheeky Party', which is very similar to one they released last year which I missed out on.

This kit comes with 4 blushes, a bronzer, a cream highlighter, a gel eyeliner & a mascara.

The sizes of these products, especially the powders, are amazing value for money. This set is great if you're interested in Benefits top products but don't fancy using all of your money on them!

Some of these products I already own & love, which is always a nice place to start.

I've since tried out all of the other products & like them all. The product I'm less keen on is the Watts Up highlighter, as I find it a little gold for my skin tone sometimes.

Overall I think this kit is a great gift to anyone who's into make up. I also think it's probably one of the best value for money kits from their collection this year.

The product itself looks really pretty as it's a mineralised baked powder. It does also have some visible flecks of glitter in it, but not a lot. These flecks you can sometimes see on your face once you've applied the product but it's definitely not a glitter ball effect!

The bronzer also has no significant smell to it.

You can see below the swatch of the bronzer. It is quite a warm tone, so I'd advise only using it to bronze & warm up the face. It's definitely not a cool enough tone to contour with.

It's also quite a light shade so women of colour might struggle to use it as a bronzer, however they could potentially use it as a highlighter as it is a little shimmery.

At the moment I like this bronzer, however I am still quite pale. I think after my holiday I will love this product & even during my holiday. I do plan on taking it with me.

A warning though, it is quite soft, so it might not travel too well.

I can do a little update on that for you once I've been away if you'd like though!

Just comment below & let me know.

This kits retails for only £6.49, which is a lot more reasonable than some of the higher end kits.

The question is though does it work?

Generally I'd say Barry M don't do well on the make up front, I love their nail polishes but their make up just isn't quite up to the job usually.

I say usually because I actually really like this kit!

It has three shades in it, one highlight and two contour. It does also have some instructions on the inside cover of the packaging too for those of you who aren't contouring pros.

The highlight shade is the one thing that I think lets this kit down a bit, I can use it as it's not too dark (usually they are) but I just don't reach for it as it's about the same as my skin tone & not lighter.

The middle shade is quite a warm matte bronze shade, which I would say it best used as a bronzer or two aid in blending your contour.

The third shade (on the right) is a more cool toned contour shade which I find really nice to use for my contour. It looks quite dark but it doesn't come up too dark as even pale old me can use it.

The powders are easy to blend and feel really finely milled which is great.

I also get quite a long wear time out of this powder, approximately 10 hours.

So for me this is a win product!

Cheap, works, suitable for pale skin & long wearing!

So if you're looking to try a contour kit but don't want to break the bank give this one a try.

Make Up Revolution is a drugstore brand (in line with MUA, ELF and other brands with £1 products) that seems to have come out of nowhere in 2014 and become quite popular in the UK.

Hence why I decided to get in on the hype and order some stuff! I managed to pick up about 6/7 products and spent only around £20!

So onto the product..

This is the Ultra Sculpt & Contour Kit in Ultra Fair (C01).

So in this kit you get a matt bronzer, highlighter & blusher.

The bronzer I do really like, this ultra fair shade is great for us pale folk. There is absolutely no glitter in it, which I love! Out of the three products in this kit the bronzer is definitely my favourite! Although it doesn't blend quite as easy as some of my higher end bronzers, but that's to be expected really.

The highlighter is probably my least favourite of these products, simply because I feel it's a bit too glittery to use on the top of my cheekbones. It looks great as a brow bone highlight though!

The blusher kind of reminds me of Benefit's Rockateur blush with it's somewhat rose gold colour. However it's performance couldn't be anymore different. I kind of like this blush but I feel the gold glitter in it has more pigment than the pink base. So when you build up the pigment on your cheeks it can get a bit too glittery, which some may love but I however don't!

The highlighter and blush in this kit are honestly down to your personally preference! Some of you might love them and for only £3.50 I definitely think it's worth a try!

Make Up Revolution is quite a new make up brand on the UK market, so I wanted to see what some of their products were like.

I believe the brand is quite similar to Make Up Academy (the names are similar if nothing else), as they both offer £1 make up products including lipsticks, eyeshadows etc.
