Marc Jacobs Beauty #Instamarc Contour Palette

Recently I took a trip to Nice, France and obviously popped into Sephora, and I flew over to the Marc Jacobs counter. As it was my first day there I didn't buy anything as I didn't really want to be out of spending money.

But... 





I went back on my last day to pick it up and thankfully they had one contour kit in my shade left; Dream Filter which is a soft pink/medium matte bronze shade. I have been dying to try Marc Jacobs Beauty since it launched, and I'm going to be honest; I'm a bit of a cheap skate on postage. I know Marc Jacobs Beauty is being sold in Selfridges now which is handy... If I'm ever in London. 


To start with, the colour of the contour shade is amazing. Dream Filter is the lightest shade. But thanks to its creamy texture makes it so buildable which for a contour product is great. You can easily achieve a day to day look, but also build it up too something slightly more dramatic for nights out. The powder feels creamy to touch and blends in beautifully. The pan is lovely and big (9g) so you can get a fairly big brush onto the pan. I love that Marc Jacobs Beauty have popped a handy 'how to' guide in for natural to night out contour looks for people who are unsure on how to use the product.

The highlight...  With this I haven't fallen in love with it as much as the contour shade. The shade is matte but I can't work whether my skin is just so pale that the highlight doesn't show up or if it's meant to be used for more of a setting powder?! I think the matte highlight shade will come in handy at some point but I think I'm more of a shimmer, disco ball highlight kinda girl right now. 


In terms of sizing, I'll be honest this palette is pretty huge for what it is.. There is a lot of excess space. But it's great that you can use any brush on the pan, large fan brushes to normal blusher brushes you name it, it'll fit. And with a total of 18g that's seems quite good to me. The plus to this large sized product is that the mirror inside is very ample. Although it is very large it is quite thin. So it would slip in to a hand bag nicely with out to much bulk.

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little
