Hey guys! So as I've been reading a lot of blogs and watching Youtube videos I couldn't help but notice this concealer has been highly rated as one of the best & easiest to use when contouring. This shade was mention several times and stood out to me, I decided to do some research and found a site which sells them! When it arrived it was completely wrapped up and sealed shut, when I took the lid off the product was like fiber brushes and was super soft!

After squeezing the tube a few times the product began to appear out of the fibers and it was so easy to draw onto my face (to begin contouring). At first I just tried this on my cheeks to create cheek bones and more dimension to my face. I drew a very thin line and used an angled brush to blend, the first attempt I tried of this it blended awful the line become very thick and the colour was standing out awful! I retried it a few times and found you need to draw a very little thin line, and blend for a good amount of time (About 3 minutes) without stopping until it has completely blended and I found I have to apply a little powder to further the dimension and the help blend the colour.

If I am completely honest I am not 100% sure if I love this product, it seems like a lot of effort and isn't a fast solution although once done it does look very good I feel like it does enhance my cheek bones. I think it might just be the colour of the product, I am just not sure!

Let me know in the comments below your thoughts of this product? Have you tried it before? Do you struggle? + Don't forget to follow my blog over on the home page!X

So I thought I would do a favorites post based on what brushes I currently use, it isn't many as you would expect! Why? Because I apply liquid foundations, liquid concealers and primers all with my index finger as I have very sensitive skin. So these brushes are some what very special to me!

The first brush is what I use for powders, whether it be for foundations or powder I use my bare minerals "flawless face" mini brush. This came with a kit from QVC, although it is small it is perfect, the brush is soft and applies easy to my skin, it doesn't irritate or cause me to break out. I would defiantly consider buying more bare minerals brushes.

The next favorite brush is my angled brush from AVON, I like this brush because the angle just seems to work so good with my face, I make a duck style face while contouring under my cheek bone, this applies the product easy you only need a little bronzer and it applies a large amount!

My next favorite is from Bobbi Brown, this brush is the "Face Blender" brush, i'm not 100% sure if this is suppose to be used for blush or not, but I found if I apply some blush it blends really well when I have contoured. I like it because it blends well, it doesn't irritate my skin and is just a great size!

And finally, my bare minerals "buffing eye" brush is perfect for eye shadow. Why? Because it is easy to blend two colors but it works great if you are applying just one colour, the size of the brush tip is perfect sizing for an eyelid.

Thank you for reading, don't forget to comment your feedback below! :-) What your favorite brushes??!Xo

Rimmel London bronzer - " Sun glow 025 "

This product can be purchased at any high street drug store .e.g. Boots, Superdrug etc, at a cheap retail price of £5.99 (Link at end).

Product application: When applying this product I prefer to use an angled brush and swipe across the center of the bronzer about 2-4 times, then gently swipe downwards on my cheek bones (to identify my cheek bones I push my lips to one side and then apply). I swipe about 3 times or once a light bronze look is appeared (Not too much to stand out dramatically).
