Products I Can't Live Without | Bronzers

I think I started using bronzer when I was about 15...ish...

Probably ending up with a look that was not becoming, especially teamed with my favourite blue lipstick (it was the fashion then ok...)

In recent years, as contouring has become more and more popular I use mine for various things.

Contouring, Bronzing and even eyeshadow!

Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer

I'm pretty sure this is a staple in most make up lovers make up bags, not just mine. This is the perfect shade for majority of skin tones and looks like a chocolate bar. 

It's matte and slightly smells of chocolate which is obviously a massive plus point!

It's perfect for bronzing when you don't want shimmer, and just as good for contouring too.

I have taken this with me to use as a triple threat before to save space:

• Bronzer
• Contour
• Eyeshadow

To use as eyeshadow I usually just use my finger and then blend with a fluffy brush into the crease. To be honest, I am guilty of using loads of my bronzers for this when I'm short of time or when I'm away from home. 

It retails for £7.99.

No.7 Match Made Bronzer

This was a present from my Auntie last Christmas and I love it!

Again I use this as a Triple Threat. 

It comes with a handy mirror too, which is great when you are out and about. I generally use this more for contouring than bronzing. 

It is also a matte bronzer and is in the shade Maple.

It retails for £12.50

Younique Beachfront Bronzer

This bronzer is great having a matte side as well as a shimmer side so you are able to mix and match as and when you want. 

This is in the shade Sunset, and as you can see, I need to repurchase rather rapidly, especially with summer approaching.

I love to use the matte side to contour and then the shimmer on top of my cheek bones to give that summer shimmery look. 

It retails for £25.

Make Up Revolution Advent Calendar

So after making Jack feel guilty that I had brought him the advent calendar he wanted (Lego Star Wars) he picked up the Make Up Revolution Advent Calendar.


I have used quite a few different products from their range and have always liked them, in fact one of their highlighters is my favourite ever and is constantly a staple in my make up bag.

The calendar went all the way up to Christmas Day which I was really impressed with as a lot of calendars now either go to Christmas Eve or they do twelve days of Christmas.

Most of them, you could quite easily make out what they were from the size of their perforated sections, but it was still exciting knowing that I was getting a new make up product or brush each day.

The brushes are mini's but are super soft, and have a lovely pale pink handle with rose gold detailing. Within the calendar there were four brushes in total. The brush itself is white with pink dipped tips.


I also got six lipsticks, in a gorgeous coral, stunning pink, two fabulous nudes, a typical pillar box red and a sultry plum.



I also received a liquid eye primer, which I'm excited to try out, as well as a matte bronzer.




There were also two lip glosses, which I don't really wear anymore, but I will give them a go and if I don't get on with them, will give them to my cousin as she loves make up.



There were also two strobe beams, which I hadn't heard of previously but look super sparkly and I think they will look amazing.




Next up were the amazing highlighters, and transparent powder. There is also a liquid highlighter which I'm excited to try as the only liquid highlighter I have found that I like is the Benefit High Beam.



There was also a transparent powder, which for someone who can get a shiny forehead, is a god send. Also a cute little cosmetic mirror that I can pop into my make up bag, which is great as I always lose mine!



Christmas Day was the biggest and best, as you would hope. The Revoholic Eyes eyeshadow palette, which has beautiful brown and nude colours in both matte and shimmers, can't wait to try this out!


I will continue to review the products and do another post in a month or so on how I like the products to give me time to test them out properly.

Much Love,

TK
