The Swoon-Worthy Contour Palette & A Gym for Your Nails

Five Things

It’s time to bundle together the best of beauty, fashion and everything in between from the past seven days. Edited down to five of the top products, videos, posts, releases and the rest that have had me clicking away:

1. Estée Lauder Perfectionist Foundation – Revisited. After realising that my skin was becoming rather fond of drinking up my foundation and leaving my face bare by lunchtime I thought it was time there was a switch-up in my foundation department, so picked up a bottle of this that I haven’t used in a while and instantly remembered why it’s so darn good. It’s medium to full coverage finish, but does so in the most natural way and has just the right amount of dewiness to it without needing powder. Fab stuff.

2. Ciaté’s Nail Care Range Gets an Oomph. There’s a whole host of new nail treatments in the Ciaté range; more than I have nails to test everything on so I’m slowly working my way through. I have to say that I’m most impressed by the Base Balance Nail Toner which preps the bed for lacquer and the Underwear Base Coat. Though it’s the Nail Gym Nail Strengthener I want to test out most (perhaps cause I love the mini little dumbbells on the packet).

3. Did I Mention That I Love the BECCA Eye Tints? Yes, yes I did. But I feel like I just need to proclaim my love for the Eye Tints just one more time, especially the shades Baroque and Romanticism. One sweep wonder eyeshadow has never been so easy. Check out this post to see what all the fuss is about.

4. Going a Bit Wild in Boots. So this past week I went (unsupervised) to Boots and stuff happened. Repurchases were made, unsexy boring cotton wool found its way into my basket and I threw some new stuff in there too. Expect to see the contents of it unloaded here tomorrow. Sidenote: I went for a relaxing picture of a sunset as not to spoil the surprise with this one.

5. The Palette That’s Been a Long Time Coming. I finally got my hands on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit in Light/Medium and I could not be more excited. Months of being on the waitlist on Cult Beauty paid off and this time when the restock email hit my inbox I was already on my laptop, so it was fate. I haven’t had too much of a play around with it just yet, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be a review heading to these parts v.soon. Hello cheekbones.
