Review: Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks

I was looking for some nude lipsticks and I've heard good things about the Rimmel Moisture Renew range. I dont like trying out the testers in the shop as I just think they're usually a bit grubby and unhygienic so I picked up two shades, Notting Hill Nude (720) and Let's Get Naked (705).

Notting Hill Nude is a nude with a brown undertone. It is great everyday nude with a nice satin finish, which I think would suit most skin tones.

Let's Get Naked is a peachy/coral undertoned nude, it is more feminine and works well for subtle bridal looks or people who like more of a cute girly look.

The moisture renew lipsticks are really nice and creamy, they glide on nicely and don't gather in the creases or leak. They are very moisturising and leave your lips feeling lovely and soft. They are nicely pigmented and wear off nicely after 3-4 hours, they don't come off in patches so there's no real urgency to re-apply. I think these lipsticks are lovely and work very well for the price.

Let me know how you've got on with these lipsticks or which ones are your favourite in the comments below.

Review: Oilatum Natural Repair Face Cream

A few weeks ago my skin type changed dramatically (definitely blaming the weather...) and I went from Oily/Combination to Dry/Very Dry. Well I've never had dry skin in my life, that I can remember, so I was a bit stuck on what to do. My skin felt tight and looked ashy and flaky (gross!) so I felt I need to change up something ASAP. Knowing that both of the Pixiwoo sisters have dry skin I straight away thought of what they use, Embryolisse and Oilatum. Embryolisse is both out of my price range and hard to get hold of so I went for the Oilatum. I was extremely sceptical at first, as I usually use a mattifying moisturiser for shine control and I was worried about getting blackheads. The cream costs £7.65 from Boots, which is slightly over my ideal price of a drugstore face cream, but not too expensive.

The face cream comes in a 50ml tube, which is more hygienic than a tub and more travel-friendly. The cream is perfume, preservative and emulsifier free and is suitable for dry and sensitive skin. The cream has no scent at all which is great for people with sensitivity to fragrances.

Top: just out of the tube
Bottom: slightly rubbed in

The cream is relatively thick when dispensed, which I was worried about, but after waiting about 5 minutes after applying it it soaks in well and leaves the skin looking moisturised and glowing. It does leave a slight film over the skin, but this isn't really a problem, my make-up goes on really well over it. I've been using this for a week and I've noticed great improvement in my skin. On the packaging it claims that the cream 'penetrates deeply to intensively nourish irritating, dry & sensitive skin' and 'help repair your skin's natural barrier'. To be honest I usually take no notice of the claims on packaging as none of them are really noticeable. However, my skin surface has improved so much and any spots or blemishes I've had have cleared up much quicker than normal. Also, the tightness in my skin has gone and it looks much more moisturised and plump.
I think this is a fantastic cream, I can totally understand the hype around it.

Men's Beauty: Review: BaByliss For Men I-Stubble+ 7895U

I've wanted one of these for ages, so when I saw they were 1/3 off in Argos I decided to treat myself. The I-Stubble is a stubble trimmer, with an LCD display and cutting length choice ranging from 0.4mm to 5mm.

In the box you get the stubble trimmer, power cable, lubricating oil, cleaning brush and a 2-pin socket adapter. I know it's being picky but I'm glad they included the adapter, because there has been times before when I've not been able to charge stuff because I knew nothing about needing an adapter (I'm looking at you, Oral B Electric toothbrush.)

The shape and size of the trimmer is great. It fits nicely in the hand, is a good weight and it's designed in a way that you don't press the buttons when you're using it. The device has an on/off button and and up and down button, which changes the length it cuts at. the trimmer goes from 0.4mm to 2.0mm in 0.2mm increments and from 2.0mm to 5.0mm in 0.5mm increments.

Top: Cutting guard normal
Bottom: Cutting guard clipped back

As you change the cutting length the floating head of the device extends or withdraws. You can also clip the cutting guard back and just use the blade to cut hair precisely or give definitive lines.

So, after getting the I-Stubble out of the packaging and charging it for 16 hours (as told in instructions) I gave it a go. I think it's really great, it glides very smoothly over the skin and is very comfortable. The floating contouring head makes it really easy to trim the hairs evenly over the face, and all in all it took me about a minute to use, much quicker than wet-shaving. Overall I think this is a great product for anyone who wants that 'designer stubble', 5-o-clock shadow or rugged look. For only £40 in Argos I think it's well worth it!

If you have any questions about the I-Stubble or you have got one too, comment below!

Review: Crest 3D Professional Effects Whitestrips

For ages I've wanted my teeth to be whiter, so a while ago I switched to an electric toothbrush and a whitening toothpaste but not much changed. I am quite good at looking after my teeth, flossing every day and brushing 2+ times per day. However, as a smoker (I know, very bad habit...) I'm always going to end up with stains and discolouration. In the past I've tried out whitening kits with the gel in plastic gum shields, I found them very uncomfortable, produced little change and they left me with very sensitive teeth! I've seen a lot of positive reviews of Crest Whitestrips on the internet and thought I'd try them out. I decided to get the 'Professional Effects' variation as they are the strongest, and I want the stains gone as much as possible. I got 20 pouches (recommended) for around £40 on eBay. The price is a little bit steep, but if they work, it's much cheaper than paying £200+ to get them whitened by a dentist.

Each pouch contains 2 strips, one longer for the top teeth, and a shorter one for the bottom teeth. The strips are clear in colour, and when peeled of the backing plastic one side is coated in a sticky gel. You press the strips on your teeth, and then fold the excess over your teeth and press that to the back. The strips stick really well and aren't that noticeable in your mouth, you can still talk very easily, I think you can eat and drink with them in, but I wouldn't recommend it. You leave the strips on for 30 minutes and then peel them off, they leave little to no residue, and any that is left behind can easily be brushed off with a toothbrush.

With strips on

After using these for 3 days (I did them for 60 minutes a day, because I'm too impatient...) I noticed big changes, the stains on my teeth had reduced a lot and they were less grey and they looked more opaque. About 3 hours after using the strips I did experience a little sensitivity, but nothing major and brushing my teeth with a sensitive toothpaste sorted it out immediately. After 20 days my teeth were noticeably whiter and about 90% of stains were gone, as you can see in the pictures below...

OMG I can't believe my teeth were ever that bad! looking at the comparison picture I think I can safely say the product is amazing! I will definitely be using them when my teeth start looking gross again. For only £40 I think the difference they have made is great, I'm so glad I took the plunge and bought them.

If you have any questions, or you have tried out these whitestrips, leave me a comment below!

Review: Lush Caca Brun Henna Hair Dye

I have been dying my hair for years, it started with a few bleach highlights pulled through a cap (ouch!) when I was 10 or 11. Since then I have always dyed my hair with colours, bleach, semi-permanents, demi-permanents, veggie dyes, sun-in, lemon juice and anything else I could get my hands on to change the colour of my barnet, as you can see in the picture below...

So, the last 10 years of hair-dying has definitely taken its toll, leaving me with very dry, snapping hair. Also I've noticed in the past year that my hair is getting a lot thinner, especially around the crown area. So in an attempt to ward off chemical-induced male pattern baldness I started looking into healthier hair dying options.

This is where henna comes in. From researching on the internet I found out that henna is meant to be much healthier for your hair than commercial dyes, and definitely healthier than bleach. It is a depositing dye, which means it does wash out eventually, but by repeat applications of henna you can end up with a long lasting colour. Real henna produces a orangey-red colour, however it can be mixed with other natural ingredients such as indigo to produce browns and other colours. Henna also doubles as a protein treatment, leaving the hair a lot stronger, smoother and glossier. Henna is also great for people who have allergies to commercial dyes as it's made out of more natural ingredients.

I'd heard that lush did great hennas for beginners, and as I wasn't not confident enough to mix up my own henna dyes I thought it was for the best to get one of theirs. Lush Caca Brun (£8.25 from Lush) is made up of 35% henna and 65% indigo, to produce a brown hair colour with a reddish hint. The dye comes in a solid block form made up of 6 squares. It also contains other ingredients to condition your hair whilst you dye. The block is a greenish-brown colour and resembles a block of dry mud.

So, I crushed up one block of the henna and mixed it with boiling water, adding it slowly to create a ketchup-like consistency. The mixture has a rather odd smell, which I can only describe as a mixture of cut grass, leaves, coffee and ponds cold cream (what?!) It isn't a particularly pleasant smell, but not unbearable.

I then applied the mixture to my head with a tint brush, and then covered it in a disposable mob cap. The instructions say to leave it on for 1-6 hours, dependant on how dark you want the result, and to wrap it in cling film if you want a more red colour. I didn't particularly want it to be really red, so I left it open, however it started crumbling off, hence why I put on the disposable mob cap. When I have brown hair I like it relatively dark, so I left it on for the maximum amount of time.

After 6 hours of walking around my house looking like a dinner lady I went to rinse it off. Firstly I rinsed out the henna as much as I could, until the water run pretty much clear. I then took a generous amount of conditioner and worked it through my hair massaging it in as if it was a shampoo (I read that shampoo strips the henna out of the hair too much as some of the ingredients need to carry on working for 24 hours). After rinsing out the conditioner and blow drying my hair I was greeted in the mirror with smoother, glossier hair which looks brown indoors, but has a vibrant auburn tint in the sunlight... I LOVE IT! The only negative I have is the rather odd smell of the mixture seemed to vaguely linger in my hair for a couple of days after, which is not too much bother, considering all the good its doing to my hair.

Overall I think this is a great hair-friendly alternative to hair dyes. I will definitely re-purchase, however this wont be very soon as I'm only using 1 block a time, so it will last me ages. Also, I'm thinking about trying out some of their other hennas (Caca Noir).

UPDATE! Results Picture.

Review: Real Techniques Brushes

Over the past year I have ended up buying a lot of real techniques brushes. I am a big fan of Pixiwoo and when I found out about the brush range I bought a couple, and OMG I was so sucked in! Overall I've ended up buying 6 different individual brushes, the Duo-Fibre Set and the Starter Set so far... All of the brushes are synthetic, made from taklon bristles which means they are cruelty free. I have found that all of the brushes are very soft and wash up very well, no matter if you're using them with powder, cream or liquid products.

Firstly is the Powder Brush.(£12.99 From Boots) This brush is slightly over-sized and gives a great liberal application of any powder products, whether they are loose or compact it always gives great results. Personally I'd like it to be a tiny bit smaller but it's not a big issue & overall I love it!

Secondly is the Expert Face Brush. (£9.99 From Boots) I absolutely love, love, LOVE this brush, so much so that I have two of them! It's versatile and can be used for buffing/stippling foundation, cream blush, cream contours, bronzers, anything! And its slightly tapered shape means that it can easily apply to small spaces such as around your nose and eyes. I personally use this brush for foundation most of the time, as the density makes buffing so easy and gives a great finish.

Next up is the Blush Brush.(£9.99 From Boots) I find this is great for blushes, bronzers and contours, the tapered shape of the brush means you only have to put the product right on the end of it, and brush does all of the blending out for you, amazing!

Next is the Stippling Brush.(£11.99 From Boots) To be brutally honest, I have a slight love-hate relationship with this brush, but I think it's because when I first got it I didn't really know what to use it for. This is good if you want a light-coverage finish with your foundation, I also use it for liquid bronzers and highlighters. (Also, when I first got this brush quite a big chunk of the bristles shed, but I'm guessing this was a one-off fault as none of my other brushes have done this, and after the initial shedding catastrophe no more bristles have fallen out!)

The last of the Face brushes is the Setting Brush.(£8.99 From Boots) This brush is great for precise application of powder highlighter, I have also used it for a one-colour sweep of eyeshadow on the eyelids.

Next up is the Limited Edition Duo-Fibre Set.(£23.99 From Boots) This contains a Face Brush, Contour Brush and an Eye Brush.

The Duo-Fibre Face Brush (Top) is great for light applications of powder, blushes and bronzers. Also, it gives you the choice to build up product gradually. The sparser bristles also make this brush great for blending out harsh lines in your bronzer, blush or contour.

I mainly use the Duo-Fibre Contour Brush (Middle) for applying cream contours, but it is also great for applying pigments as a highlighter, as it gives a really light application.

The Duo-Fibre Eye Brush (Bottom) is really good at blending out any eye makeup such as the crease, it is also really good for precise application of pigments.

The Starter Set (£21.99 From Boots) is a good eye brush set for beginners, giving you all of the tools you need to create nice eye makeup. It consists of a Deluxe Crease Brush, Base Shadow Brush, Brow Brush, Accent Brush and a Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush.

Firstly the Deluxe Crease Brush (Top) is a dense rounded brush (almost like a mini Expert Face Brush!) and I personally use it for stippling/buffing in concealer. The size of this brush means its perfect to fit under-eyes and cover blemishes.

Next is the Base Shadow Brush (2nd Brush Down), this is a flat fluffy tapered brush which is a great all rounder when applying eyeshadow. The shape means that it can be used for packing on eyeshadow, defining the crease and blending.

The Brow Brush (3rd Brush Down) is a stiff, angled brush that gives you great precision and easy application when you're using a powder product to fill in your brows.

The Accent Brush (4th Brush Down) is a really good multi-purpose brush. To be honest with you, when I first saw it I really didn't know what on earth I'd use it for but as time has gone on I've found a lot of uses for it... Blending out pencil eyeliner, precise application of concealer on blemishes, contouring small areas such as the nose, applying lipstick, detailed eyeshadow work and precise application of pigments.

Lastly in the set is the Pixel-Point Eyeliner Brush. I don't particularly like this brush for eyeliner, unless I'm aiming for a really thick line. However, this brush is good for precise application of pigment and I have found it very useful for more theatrical looks, such as fancy dress.

P.S. This Set also comes with a stand/case for the brushes, which I don't personally use, but some people people might find it useful.

The final brush in my personal collection is the Lash-Brow Groomer.(£7.99 From Boots) For years I've had those plastic lash combs, but now I have one with metal teeth I'd never go back! Finally I have a lash comb which effectively removes clumps from my lashes and leaves them looking nice and defined, rather than just poking them in different directions! The Brow side of the brush is great too for putting crazy brows in shape.

Overall I LOVE the Real Techniques Range. All of the brushes are such good quality but at a very affordable price. Also the versatility of all the brushes is so good, so even if I don't use the brushes for what they are meant for I'll find another use for them.

If you have any questions, or you have tried out any of these brushes, or any others in the range, let me know how you've got on with them in the comments below!

Review: Maybelline Color Tattoo

As soon as I heard about Maybelline Color Tattoos I wanted some, and when I got them I wasn't disappointed... Colour Tattoos are marketed as cream-gel eyeshadows, with vivid colour and 24 hour staying power. I got 3 of the 12 shades: Pink Gold (65), Metallic Pomegranate (70) and Permanent Taupe (40) from Superdrug for £4.99 each.

Pink Gold is a light pink colour with gold shimmer and works really well in a subtle natural-eyed look. The Metallic pomegranate is a reddish purple colour, with flecks of gold shimmer, it works well with a slightly darker look with browns or purples. And the Permanent Taupe is a matte warm grey colour and would work very well in a black/grey smokey eye.

I think these cream eyeshadows are great, whether they're being worn on their own or under a powder eyeshadow. When used as a base for powder eyeshadow I find they give the eye makeup more depth and make the colours stand out more, as well as prolonging the wear-time. The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented and creamy, they are also very easy to apply and blend. The eyshadows can also be used as gel eyeliners when used with a brush, and perform very well.

If you have any questions, or you have tried out any of the Color Tattoos, let me know how you've got on with them in the comments below!

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara

In my opinion eyebrows are one of the most important features of your face, as they totally frame your face and show every emotion you feel. Also everyone would look rather odd without them... I've been drawing/filling in my eyebrows for about 5 years, I can't remember why I started, but I wouldn't be without my full eyebrows now! I've always really used eye shadow with an angled brush and a clear mascara over the top (and occasionally a pencil when plucking disasters happen...) But I got really excited when I saw that Maybelline were starting to do a tinted brow gel 'sculpting brow mascara' for only £4.99 in Superdrug, which is a steal! so I had to buy it.

The brow mascara comes in pretty ordinary mascara packaging, however the wand has a ball shape on the end. The shape of this want makes it easier to apply the product from all angles, also the wand doesn't pick up too much product, so you're not left with clumpy brows. The consistency of the product is quite thin, but I see this as a positive, as it means your eyebrows will not be too harshly coloured and they still look natural. I'm sure you could build it up if you needed more.

I love this brow mascara as I find it gives good colour and definition, as well as making my eyebrows stay put all day without them feeling 'crunchy'. However, I'm not too sure how people with sparser brows would find this product, I have a feeling it would be less effective on someone without quite a full brow.

If you have any questions, or you have tried out this product, let me know how you've got on with it in the comments below!

Review: Lush Hair Extensions

Lush Hair Extensions have been around since 2006, supplying good quality 100% Remy human hair in a variety of different lengths, colours and volumes. Lush hair extensions sell extensions from 12 inches all the way up to 26 inches, in 25+ colours. They also sell false eyelashes, hair care products and many other accessories.

Last week it was my sisters 16th birthday, and she did what she always does when she gets money and bought herself some new hair extensions! She has tried out many brands and types of extensions from different companies, some cheaper and some more expensive, but always seems to return to Lush Extensions. She ordered the Deluxe Full Head (double wefted) in the colour #18/613 and 18 inches long, for only £56.99. The extensions come in a long plastic wallet with care instructions on the back. Impressed, as always, the extensions are really smooth and thick, without looking 'plasticy' and unnatural.

The extensions come with 1 x 8 inch weft, 2 x 6 inch wefts, 2 x 4 inch wefts , 1 x 3 inch weft and 2 x 2 inch wefts. The clips on the wefts are quite large and sturdy with a rubber back to ensure more grip. I find that these clips are less damaging to the hair than other clips, as they distribute the weight over more hair.

When the extensions are clipped in they blend very well, and the clips are virtually undetectable if clipped in properly. The colour match is spot on and volume of the extensions make the hair look totally natural.

Overall, I think Lush hair extensions is a great company offering affordable great quality hair extensions. They also do a free colour match, all you have to do is send in a picture of your hair and they will advise you on what colour suits you best.

If you have any questions, or you yourself have tried out these extensions before, let me know how you've got on with them in the comments below!

Review: L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection Range

A couple of weeks ago, whilst browsing around Superdrug I noticed a new skincare range by L'Oréal Paris, called 'Skin Perfection'. The range included a cleansing milk, toner, two facial washes, exfoliator, micellar solution, cleansing oil and two types of facial wipes. All of the packaging was similar, and looked very nice on the shelf. All products were reasonably priced between £3.99 and £7.99.  I decided to get the blue facial wash, toner and cleansing milk.

The L'Oréal Cleansing & Perfecting Milk retails at £3.99, the cleanser claims to remove the impurities on your face and even waterproof makeup, and in turn giving you a better skin texture which feels more hydrated and smooth. You get 200ml of product in the bottle, which is alcohol free, hypo-allergenic, suitable for people with sensitive skin and use on both the face and eyes. The product is meant to be used morning and night with a cotton pad (However, I use a face wash in the mornings as I've got combination skin and I find that using a cream cleanser twice a day makes my skin too oily.) The cleansing milk has a thin creamy consistency with a really nice fresh scent. The cleanser does take off waterproof makeup to some extent but I found that I had to double, and sometimes triple cleanse to make sure my face was fully clean, and even then there was a chance I'd wake up with panda eyes... This product doesn't perform well on mascara, I found that I had to put in a lot of elbow grease to take mascara off and it left my eyes feeling rather sore. The packaging also says that the cleanser will leave your skin smooth and hydrated, however I don't feel it was any more hydrating or smoothing than any other cream cleanser. Overall, a slight disappointment (I used it for a few days and got fed up with having to triple-cleanse, so I returned to my much loved Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser.)

The L'Oréal Purifying Gel Wash retails at £4.49, it is designed for normal-combination skin types (there is a pink face wash, for people with sensitive and dry skin.) The packaging claims that the face wash removes impurities and unblocks pores to reveal clean and fresh skin. The Gel Wash comes in a 150ml tube, with a soap free formula that creates a light lather when rubbed into the face. It is meant to be used morning and night, by massaging it into a damp face and rinsed well with water. I have been using this face wash for a couple of weeks in the mornings and I LOVE IT! I find that it has a lovely fresh scent, cleans my face well leaving it feeling fresh, with no tightness. I have also noticed that after a couple of weeks the pores on my forehead have diminished and blackheads are less frequent, YAY! I think I'd definitely buy this face wash again, as I find it difficult to find a cleanser which helps control an oily T-Zone without drying out other areas of my face.

Finally, The L'Oréal Velvety-Soft Toner retails at £3.99, the packaging describes it as a toner with a texture which soothes skin, removing makeup and impurities to reveal better skin texture. You get 200ml of product in the bottle, which is hypo-allergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. You are meant to use the toner after cleansing both morning and night. Firstly, I really like the consistency of this toner, its a bit thicker than a normal liquid toner (which I always accidentally pour far too much out...) and it is more like a very thin gel. The toner is also very effective at removing any makeup or dirt that your cleanser has missed, and the toner doesn't dry out your skin or make it feel tight like many other toners do. The only problem I have with this product is the packaging... then you pour some of the toner out onto a cotton pad I find that it usually drips down the bottle a little bit, it's not really a problem, just a bit annoying. Overall though, I'd say this is a good toner.

If you have any questions, or you have tried out these products, or any others in the range, let me know how you've got on with them in the comments below!

Review: MAC Face And Body Foundation

MAC Face and Body Foundation is described on the MAC Cosmetics UK website as being a low to medium coverage foundation which creates a natural satin finish, with a water resistant and long-wearing formula. The foundation can be purchased in two sized bottles, 50ml and 120ml, and in a wide variety of cool (C) and warm (N) shades. The 50ml bottle retails at £21.50 and the 120ml bottle is £27.

I bought a 120ml bottle of C2 from the UK MAC website, which offered free delivery if you spent over £30, so I made sure I did (Would be rude not to!) I made the order on Friday and received the box on Tuesday. I ordered online as I realised that you could only get 50ml bottles in the department stores near me, and I'd much rather spend an extra £5.50 and get more than double the amount of product, who wouldn't?!

So, I opened the box and saw that the foundation comes in a squeezy plastic bottle, with a small plastic spout to dispense the product and a screw cap. I personally prefer this type of packaging, as I find that with glass pump bottles you can never get the last bit of foundation out, which is very frustrating as it could probably cover your face twice, if you could actually get it out! And obviously glass is much easier to break. However, some people may be put off by the packaging as it is not particularly aesthetically pleasing...

Anyway, I screwed off the lid and poured some on the back of my hand, and immediately noticed that it is very runny in consistency, almost like water. I don't particularly mind the thickness of the liquid as I think the plastic spout is good at dispensing the right amount of product, however, I wouldn't be surprised if there is an accident at some point when it ends up all over the carpet... Also, I noticed it had a rather odd smell like rubber/plastic, but this disappears as it is applied, so it's not really an issue. So, I rubbed it in gently with my fingers and saw that it has a very light coverage, as advertised. I continued to buff it in with a Crownbrush c439 and it felt like the consistency completely changed, from a thin liquid to a creamy, thick liquid.

When applying Face and Body to my face I stippled it all over my face to ensure that there was an even distribution of product and then went back in with the crownbrush c439 to buff it all in. On my face I noticed that the coverage it not enough to cover up blemishes, scars etc on its own, however it does even out skin tone well and it looks like you're not wearing any make-up! The colour I got (C2) is probably too dark for me, but when it's blended in it matches my skin completely, due to the sheer formulation of the foundation. The foundation gives a satin finish, which would look great on a person with dry skin, as I'm Oily/Combination wearing this foundation without powder is a big no-no for me as I'd be far too shiny very quickly! For the purpose of this post, I've only applied the foundation to half of my face so you can see the difference it makes.

I would say this foundation is perfect for people who want sheer looking foundation and don't need much coverage. The foundation performs very well in flash photography, so it would work very well for bridal makeup and photo shoots. The foundation wears very well and I find by the end of the day my skin still looks as good as when I first apply it. The only negatives I would have about this foundation is that Oily or Combination skin types would definitely have to use a powder to reduce shine, also, it contains no SPF so you'd have to add that in elsewhere in your skincare regime.

Overall I'd say this is a great foundation for anyone looking for a natural, 'like skin but better' look when trying to find a foundation, and the fact you get 120ml means it should last for a long time. Also, the foundation is buildable, I've tried it with two layers and it gives a better coverage without looking cakey or unnatural. A definite re-purchase from me!

Here's a picture of me wearing the foundation, concealed with Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 10, set with Kryolan Anti-Shine Powder and contoured with Sleek Contour Kit in Medium.

If you have any questions, or you yourself have tried out this product, let me know how you've got on with it in the comments below!
