The packaging is simple, which I like a lot. Be aware that the powders do jiggle a little in the palette, it's nothing to worry about. I believe it's because you can replace individual shades if you run out (I'm not sure on the availability of replaces in the UK).

The palette contains two shimmer highlights, two matte highlights & 4 matte bronzing/ contouring shades.

The powders themselves are super soft & buttery. They blend really well too, which is what you want from a contour palette! They are also quite pigmented, but not too pigmented if you know what I mean. The shades in the palette are very buildable & there is something for all skin shades too.

This is where the 'pale part' comes in. The two left hand highlight shades are perfect if you're pale, even someone who is literally white could use these! The shimmer highlight is just gorgeous! When I say shimmer I mean it too, there is no chunky glitter in these shimmer highlights, which makes them look natural on the skin.

As for the contour shades I'll admit some of them I probably won't get much use out of, but I love some of the highlight shades so much it doesn't matter!

If you're a make up artist however, this should definitely be in your kit!

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.

Next I'm going to go onto the Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara.

I got this at Christmas in a Soap & Glory gift set,  although I have had this mascara before.

The wand is quite big, which I like for volume. However this mascara isn't great for curling but I just curl my lashes before application.

Lastly there's the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Pink In The Afternoon', which is a good old favourite of mine. I love this natural pink shade. I think it really suits me & doesn't clash with my hair, which is great. I love the formulation of these lipsticks as they are really nice and moisturising too.

Let me know below what's new in your make up bag!

I picked up the lightest shade which is 10 porcelain. There are about 7-10 shades to choose from.
My overall opinion is that I love this foundation as well!

It honestly ticks all my boxes!

I think L'Oreal are my favourite drugstore brand, especially for foundations!
They just get it right.

So the basics. This is a liquid highlighter which has a pink tone to it. Ideal for pale people!

Benefit do also have some other liquid highlighters which have different tones to them.

This product can be used in a few different ways, one of which is by simply applying it to the high points of your face using the applicator (or your finger) and blending it out. It can also be used as an illuminator and mixed with your base.

This is a shimmery highlighter so I wouldn't advise using it on your under eye area.

However this highlighter is the right type of shimmery as it's shimmer & not chunky glitter.

My favourite way to use this is as a brow highlight and then set it with a powder eyeshadow.

This can also apply to the cheekbones, but I only tend to do that in the summer.

If you want to try this product I would try & get hold of a sample size first because one it's not cheap and two you don't really need more than a sample size!

This product literally never ends! It will probably go off before you get to finish it!

Now the first reason that I love this foundation is due to the amazingly large colour range. They range from cool, neutral to warm tones. So there is a shade for everyone!

They also do really pale shades for people like myself, usually no foundation is light enough for my skin.

Another reason I love this foundation is the coverage. I have pretty good skin so I don't need that much coverage. This foundation is a medium coverage to me and that's how I wear it, however you could build it up to create fuller coverage.

Another great point for this foundation is the packaging. It comes in a glass bottle, which is always nice. It also comes with a pump (in the UK anyway).

I really don't have much negative to say about this foundation. The only thing I wish was a little better is how long it lasts. However using a primer & setting spray does help the wear time.

Some people might also be scared off by the SPF, but it's only 17 so I doubt it's going to make too much difference when taking photos. I personally have never had any problems.

Overall I love this foundation & would reckon it to most people. I have combo to oily skin & it works fine for me, equally it's not drying either though.

The price of this foundation is approx. £9.99.

(However they do go on offer, I just got two for £12!)
