My Sculpted Face From It Cosmetics

Sorry everyone, yes, its another contour palette. I guess its because I am so undecided and confused as to which palette to get. That being said, I quite like how light the light ones look in this stock photo, though I am sure its very different in real life.

Details

What is it: A universal naturally pretty contouring palette that gives you the power to bring out your most beautiful features, and even hide the ones you want to minimize. Whether you want to bring out your cheek bones, slenderize your nose or forehead, look more lifted, hide a double chin or simply learn how to embrace your unique features, this palette complete with detailed instruction guide will be your beauty best friend! 

Who is it for: Anyone who wants to bring out their most beautiful features, look instantly lifted, or look instantly thinner. Perfect for all skin tones, ages, face shapes and skin types. 

Why is it different: Developed with leading plastic surgeons, and using anti-aging ingredients, this sleek, easy-to-follow palette comes with a step-by-step Face Sculpting Chart for reference and four contouring shades designed to match all skin tones as well as two highlighting shades - one with a slight shimmer and one with a matte finish. It also includes a regular mirror, and a mirror that is five times amplified.

This palette I see on the Ulta website but not yet online at the Shopping Channel. If it comes to Canada shortly I may choose this one. Or I may find something else before then! BAH!!

Have you guys bought a contour kit yet? If so, which one did you choose?

It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Celebration Matte Luxe Transforming Eyeshadow Palette Swatched & Reviewed!

I wanted to love this palette so much! I really truly did. The first one got very mixed reviews with as many people hating it as people loving it, but with the bloggers and youtubers I trust most NOT loving it was winning out. I had to try it for myself and had it on my list forever. And then this Holiday version came out and my mom and I each ordered one immediately.

Now I normally hate double ended brushes as you cant stand them up in your brush cups to store. It comes in a plastic tube though so I will leave it in the tube and hope that protects it enough.

The double ended brush it came with is fine. The shader side was not quite as great as I would have hoped, some of the hairs are a little askew and it doesnt pick up product as much as I would like.

The liner brush however is dense and firm and perfect!

And now the gorgeous holographic palette.

If only the shadows performed well.

Now this it he left side of the palette, and then the right. But when I swatch them below, I swatch the top row first, followed by the bottom row.

Top row swatches:

Bottom Row Swatched:

Now the nitty gritty. Pigmentation is very so so. Pigmentation is great on the finger but on the skin when you transfer it is kinda lousy, though with a sticky base you can make the pigmentation work. But they fade. They fade and they fade fast. ALSO........ worst of all even though when you swatch it in your finger they are gorgeous and pigmented they blend and rub out to nothing. They simply disappear. The transforming radiance shade is gorgeous and fantastic but it tends to just sheer out and muddy the other shades.

Now these are also called matte luxe shadows but sold as a matte palette. They are more a satin shadow. Not a true matte. Makes them much easier to use.

Because all these issues that I had with it were how the non limited edition one was described, I would highly recommend a major major pass on this.

IT Cosmetics Look Of Love Lip Stain Blush & Brush

This set was $29.50 on the shopping channel and with a $25 off any order coupon code I got it for $14.50.

The brush I have not tried yet but am not impressed by feeling it. Its very thin and floppy and it doesn't feel like it will work very well. But since I haven't tried it yet, I can't say for sure.

The lipstick looks very nude and skin toned in the tube but is a gorgeous pinky shade on the lips.

The blush is horrid. Ok, Not horrid. Just everything I despise in a blush. Super pigmented and super shimmery. It kind of reminds me of orgasm, but even more shimmery and far more pigmented.
