Korres Bronzer (Ideal for you fair skinned beauty's)

Todays post is a request to show you my Korres bronzer after my bronzer collection post.
I picked this bronzer up from ebay about a year ago and its the lightest shade of bronzer that i own.

Korres Bronzer 01 Sunglow Light

The shade 01 has no orange tones at all it is more of a neutral very light brown with slight shimmer

As you can see from the swatch on my fingertip, the colour is light in texture as well as colour so its good for fair/medium skinned ladies and if you are one to shy away from the usual bronzers in fear of looking fake then this is a great choice as it just tends to warm the skin up rather than looking like an obvious bronzer.

I use a really big brush and apply it at the temples cheek bones, jaw line and even a touch on my nose.

The bronzer is not at all noticable on my skin as i am fairly tanned at the moment, i use this more in winter as my skin is lighter then. I usually apply the bronzer last as it just seems to finish my makeup off.

Korres bronzer is a great choice for anyone who has never used a bronzer before and for anyone who is worried about blending etc as its such a fine powder it needs so little blending and it can be built up for a bit more depth if needed. It feels very lightweight and lasts really well too.

I will do another post soon and compare the swatches of all the bronzers. Do you have a winter bronzer?

Bronzer Collection!

I didn't think i had a lot of bronzers but when i looked through them the other day i was surprised at the little collection i seem to have acquired.
I have no idea how i ended up with 10 Bronzers?

My Collection

Artdeco, Clinique & Gosh

Clinique, Beauty UK & Jemma Kidd

ELF & Bourjois

W7 & Korres

 

Looking at all the various shades ranging from light tan to dark brown I'm thinking that there is a high chance that i might look like an ompha lompa at some stage :)

If you see any that you want me to swatch or review then just let me know. xx

The cheapest bronzer on the block!

I was over at Lippy and a LBD blog when i read a post about this bargain bronzer which is meant to be a copy of Benefits hoola bronzer. Priced at just £1.99 from savers i rushed off to get my hands on one to see what i was missing.

W7 Honolulu Bronzer

As you can see from the swatch its a matte brown shade without any shimmer and no orange tones in sight :)
I have been wanting to try the hoola bronzer from benefit but the price tag had put me off so i don't have one to compare but after trying this i will no longer be craving it as this has turned out to be the perfect colour for me.

I love how the colour seems to match my body ( Fake tan shhhh ) perfectly and it looks really natural yet its still dark enough if that makes sense.
The texture is really smooth, its highly pigmented and you need to use a really light hand but it works beautifully for both contour and an all over bronzer.

Applied very lightly

A little more!

very gentle contouring

If i had paid £20 for this i would of still been really happy. I have worn this nearly everyday since i purchased it and am going back to get another. 

So for less than a price of a sandwich i have found a perfect bronzer. Don't miss this one girlies xx

Dupe Allert For UK Girls !

I know ive posted once already today but this morning i was having a play with the bronzer ( more of a blusher in my eyes ) that i won from the lovely people over at BeautyUK when i thought it looked very familiar so of course i had to check it out for you lovely lot.

Heres what i found :

BeautyUK Bronzer £3.29 Versus Smashbox Gossamer soft lights $30

 They are so similar when applied although the BeautyUK is a bit more pigmented so i dont need to build it up as much. Bearing in mind the price difference i know which one i would certainly go for. This gives a lovely sheen to the skin and i can see myself wearing it a lot in summer.

Yaaay for BeautyUK. This is my first dupe that ive found and im feeling quite pleased with myself ha. xx

Playing with BeautyUK ! (Photo heavy )

Last Week i was lucky enough to win a fantastic prize over at BeautyUK on Twitter . I was over the moon when my prize arrived as i never expected so many goodies.
Here's what was in my box:

To be honest although i had heard of BeautyUK I thought it was a brand for very young girls so i had overlooked the products in the past.
Now Ive been playing with some of the products and i have been pleasantly surprised. The prices are cheap as chips so i didn't expect a huge amount but i was wrong :) The eyeshadows have great pigmentation and the metallic sparks pencils make a brilliant eyeshadow base for starters. Here's a few looks:

 Buff on cheeks and Date night on lips

Soft Beige Nail Polish

Metallic Sparks pencil in purple

Eyeshadow collection 4

 Metallic Sparks pencil

 Metallic pencil as a base and as liner with the Eyeshadow collection 4

 Make up all BeautyUK

Have you tried any products from this brand?
The stand out products for me are the Eyeshadows and the metallic sparks pencils which i will be buying more of for sure. Thank you Beauty UK for my fabby prize I cant wait to try more looks with all my goodies xx

Too Faced Leopard Love !

This review is so overdue. I brought this little trio of treats when i was on holiday in Vegas and it has become one of my most daily used products.
I love the fact that it contains a bronzer, blusher and highlighter all in the one space and each individual powder is beautiful on its own or mixed with the others.

My Well used trio!

Peach Leopard: A soft peachy, bronze colour that is surprisingly natural even though it has a lovely glow.
Candy Leopard: A pretty Pink girly blush that gives a natural flush to the cheeks.
Pink leopard: A gorgeous highlighter speckled with bronze & pink which is just gorgeous.

I am wearing a dusting of the bronzer on my forehead, nose and jaw, the blusher on my cheeks and the highlighter over the top here.

Selling at ASOS for £24.50 here

If i go away anywhere this and my naked palette together make travelling light easy and the more i use these the more i like them. Have you tried any of these three products?
