This is just a quick review on two products
which have remained in my makeup kit during the last year, be it on holiday or
a night out these have been a staple in my kit all year round .
The first product is the Face Contour Kit by
Sleek Make up, this is a compact duo with a bronzer
& a highlighter.
(Please excuse the dusty mirror)
:-)
It is
available in three shades: Light, Medium & Dark. I opted for the Medium
shade. It is priced at £6.49 and available from sleekmakeup.com as well as
Superdrugs. Considering the quality of the packaging and the product I
think it is a very reasonable price for a drugstore brand. Below is a swatch of
the sleek highlighter and contour.
As you can see the highlighter is very
pigmented and shimmery, the bronzer is quite subtle and this is how I prefer it
with some definition but not very bold. It is a matte bronzer and the
staying power is also pretty good.
The second product I am going to review is
the Nars Laguna bronzer I had heard a lot about this during the end of 2012,
I didn't have the sleek kit at the time and thought why not treat
myself, so I picked this up from Selfridges in Oxford street I think I
paid £25.00 for it, it has now gone up and is £26.00 pretty much most places.
Again as can be seen in the above pic, this
shade is quite subtle some people like to contour with a really dark shade, and
there is a variety of different shades to choose from, but I think this works
the best with my skin tone. The packaging is very light and good quality,
in comparison to the Sleek it is slightly bigger so if you have a small make up
case it can take up a little too much space especially in my everyday make up
bag.
Below you can
see a swatch both the Sleek & Nars bronzer:
The NARS is on the right and the Sleek on the
left. The laguna is slightly shimmery in comparison to the Sleek.
Which one is your favourite?
Please leave me a comment as I would love to
know your thoughts and opinions.
