REVIEW & SWATCHES: Too Faced Cocoa Contour

ITEM: Too Faced Cocoa Contour (U.S. Link HERE)
PRICE: $52AUD (Price at MECCA. U.S. Price $40USD)

I snagged this baby on the day that it released in Australia at MECCA Maxima just to make sure that I had my hands on it ASAP and was able to test it out. I have now used it for a few weeks and feel confident in being able to give a good thorough and honest review on it. I know it's been out in the U.S. for a while but I think that it's new enough that not everyone would have purchased it yet.

So read this review to find out my thoughts, and use this to help determine whether or not you should purchase it yourself!

REVIEW & SWATCHES: Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette

ITEM: Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette
PRICE: $46USD (U.S. Sephora. For my fellow Aussies, this can only be purchased from Sydney Sephora in Australia for the time being)

Every single company in the beauty industry has come out with a contour palette. But one of the most raved about is the Kat Von D Shade + Light Palette. So this is a review and swatches of this coveted palette.

I will also be doing some comparisons with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Palette and other contour palettes in the future for those that are curious. So remember to follow this blog for more in the future!

REVIEW & SWATCHES: Colourpop Highlighters

ITEM: Colourpop Highlighters

PRICE: $8USD each

Application tips: Fingertips will provide the highest amount of coverage. Brush suggestions: Use a flat synthetic cheek/foundation brush or a duo fibre brush; flat synthetic brush will give more coverage and the duo fibre brush will give a more sheer, air brushed effect. 

Other tips & info: When finished, close that sucker up tight! Don't leave the jar opened for long periods of time; you may lose some of the magic that makes the Super Shock Cheek Pearlised so amazzzing. Colour builds from natural to a more intense look...Build to your heart's desire!

There has been a lot of hype over Colourpop products all over the beauty sphere. Their innovative formulas, standardised (and extremely affordable) pricing, their cute packaging and their collaborations with various Youtubers & beauty gurus inevitably attracts a lot of attention. However, I decided to purchase a bunch of the eye, cheek and lip products to put the products to the test. (I am a sceptic, so I need to see if things are truly worth the hype)! So the first thing I received & decided to do a review on are the highlighters.
