Having received this last week I stated I would give it a try out and write up a post about my experiences with it. I love how sleek and fancy this packaging is, with the pouch cover and all. I think that for $40 (£27 approx.) it is great value, not for £40 though...
(L-R: Vanilla, Banana, Sand. Bottom row: Java, Fawn, Havana)
So inside you get 6 different shade powders, immediately I noticed the fine milled powder highly pigmented. This palette is perfect for beginners and experts in the contouring field! The versatile nature of this kit makes it a staple for everyone to own, I whole heartedly believe we should all get one!
Swatches:
(L-R: Java, Fawn, Havana, Vanilla, Banana, Sand)
Highlights of each shade:
Vanilla - This matte highlighter is amazing, I love to use this under my eyes not only to set my concealer but also brighten them up.
Banana - Probably the most appreciated powder in this set by the whole beauty community. Really works well to tone down any redness on the face.
Sand - This shade is shimmery, making it ideal for cheekbones and the forehead.
Java - A very light contour shade, I believe this would work best with paler and lighter complexions.
Fawn - The best contour shade. This cool toned matte bronzer gives you that Kardashian look. The bronzer is probably so flexible that it is suited to most skin tones.
Havana - A very warm toned bronzer. Use carefully or you could end up looking like you need a bath!
Overall:
- It's gorgeous and easy to use.
- The packaging is sleek and stunning.
- A nice variety of cool/warm toned shades.
- Removable pans so that you can restock it.
- Decent price (IF you buy it from the US).
- Expensive if bought in Europe.
- Flip top box can be flimsy when travelling.
- No mirror inside.
So what do you think? Will you be purchasing this/have you already purchased this?
