Hello you beautiful people!
I thought I would share three of the products I bought from the drugstore Boots today, I was in need of a highlighter, a blusher and a bronzer that isn't matte nor too shimmery. Below are the three products I chose.
The bronzing power is in shade 52 - £7.99
The blusher is in shade 33 - £7.99
The highlighter is (actually a white eyeshadow) - £6.99
Delice de Poudre shade 52
I have seen this product on many bloggers' and vloggers' pages online along with having heard many great reviews over this chocolate look-a-like bronzer. This is something I have wanted for a while but seeing as I have a low, student budget and already own two bronzers (one being from Mac) I felt in some ways it was unnecessary to buy, however today I felt like 'why not?!'.
At first swatch it is not actually that pigmented and is quite orange in tones so now I'm even more sceptical about trying it but when I have I will let you know.
Eyeshadow (highlighter)
This product is actually an eyeshadow - something that I NEVER wear but recently I have started to use small amount to highlight my cheek bones and beneath my eyebrow bone again to highlight for the reason that I am rather pale and most highlighters I have found aren't quite light enough!
The swatch came out very pigmented so when it comes to testing this out I'll be sure to use it sparingly! I am hopeful for this product, but either way I will let you guys know.. :)
Blush shade 33
Now, this is by far my favourite of the three products! I have never been one to wear blush seeing as I'm more for the bronzed and contoured look, although for a long time I have wanted to do something different with my every day makeup and adding a bit of blusher seemed like the most obvious thing to do.
I chose a shade that was in the middle of the range and one that I felt goes with this cold, wintery weather because the cold gives most people a natural red/pink flush of the cheeks. Again this product came out extremely pigmented so I am nervous about the application seeing as I have never actually done it! But yes after a few wears I will fill you all in as to how everything went.
Above are swatches of the three products:
Top - blush
Middle - eyeshadow/highlighter
Bottom - bronzer
As I have said many times, once I have given each product a few wears as well as learning how to apply blusher, I will update you all on how I got on with them. But this is it from me for now, I'll speak to you again soon!
Lots of love,
