Ulta's Contour kit Is this a dupe for highend contour kits?


   When I saw this contour kit I instantly thought if this was going to be a dupe for highend contour kits.
   Well first of all if your just looking at the price then yes this kit is such a deal comparing most highend kits are average  $50. This kit retails for $18 at Ulta
   Now the packaging is beautiful if I say so myself. It has a see through cover with a face chart. Inside it has six great size pans of product.


Here are the swatches of the colors.
First top row Radiance highlighter,Lustre highlighter,Warmth bronzer,Golden bronzer, Bottom row bombshell bronzer,Goddess bronzer.

First color we have is the Radiance highlighter. It is a sheer shimmer baby pink. I wouldn't personally use this but if you have fair skin I could see this looking beautiful.
Lustre highlight looks like a banana powder but it is actually a super sheer yellow shimmer powder. I tried to put it under my eyes to brighten it up but it has to much shimmer to look natural.
Warmth bronzer is actually blends into my skintone so I don't tend to use it. Its a very light brown color. Looks and applys matte

Golden bronzer has some gold glitter in it so for that reason I don't use it to contour. It's a great color if that is what your looking for.
Now bombshell bronzer is my favorite out of all of the colors. Its a nuetral brown color that perfectly contours my face without going over the top.

Goddess bronzer is a very dark color and applies as dark as well. I use this just as a slight shading if I want more defining.

   I could see this working on such a wide range of skintones from fair to deep.
   I wear this kit everyday and the only con I see is the colors are not creamy as other kits. If your not careful some colors could get patchy.
   Other than that I would say try it out if you want to find a contour kit that doesn't break the makeup bank.

Colour Pop Where The Light Is review


I always love a great warm neutral eyeshadow set. So when Colour pop came out with this set I decided I wanted it. 
This set is twenty dollers on Colour pops website. It comes with four fun nuetral colors. And what I mean by fun is these colors are so pigmented and shimmery. 
I could definetly see this set being my go to for a summer eye!

First color is called cornelious. Its a matte warm chocolate brown. Which makes it the perfect crease and blending color.

Here is another matte color called Glow. Its a pigmented creamy white color. It works great under the browbone.

Now this is the stunner of the shades. Its a pearlized amber gold color. Its called Kathleenlights after the youtube beauty guru who worked with colour pop to make this set. 
I wear this shade on my lids and the results are so pretty. I've never used a gold color as pigmented as this.

Blaze is the last color of the set. Its a mettalic brown with lots of gold glitter. 
It does have a little bit of fallout but I think its because the glitter. 
I love this color on the lids and on the bottom lashline as well.

This is a really great set and I would totally buy it again. I can create a whole look with these shades. So definetly a must for anybody wanting a beautiful golden eye!
