Favourite Bronzers of 2013!

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.
