My Favourite Affordable Drugstore Contour Palettes


I have tried my fair share of contouring and bronzing kits, either the more expensive ones or the very affordable and perfect for when you're on a budget ones! And there are so many amazing contour kits/palettes everywhere at the moment so I thought this may be helpful for those who are on the hunt for a drugstore contour kit that would be perfect for them!

I love the Revolution palette which is to the top left of these photos I've taken, it has such a great array of shades perfect for creating that chiseled cheekbone, I find the highlighters are super great considering I wasn't expecting much I am very impressed, I love the white coloured one for everyday wear! I usually use the second shade in from the bottom row, which is seriously my perfect contour shade, it's not too taupe coloured and is not orange at all and I find most bronzing colours can literally make me look stupid because my skin is naturally quite fair and orange contour shades do not suit me on bit!

The Seventeen one is perfect for holidays I think I think my shade as I have medium, is a bit too orangey for me but if applied super lightly I can just about get away with it, I am going to get so much wear out of this in summer as It's more orangey toned and will flatter my summer tan a lot better than it does now! But for the price it's super affordable, and ticks all the boxes, considering it comes with a highlighter which is great although it is no comparison to most of my high end highlighters but I can deal with that! This is amazing value.

Next Up is my Revolution Sculpting Contour kit, or at least I've told myself that's what it is called! It comes with a contour shade, a highlighter and a pretty pink/coral blush, it is so compact and the products are quite good for a cheaper drugstore brand, Makeup Revolution give brands like Seventeen, Miss Sporty a run for there money as the products are of similar prices and just work well. The bronzing shade isn't the best match for my skin tone but when I have fake tan on it's the perfect colour and for bronzing up my neck and face to match the rest of my body it works so well. The blush is a lovely sweet coral/pink colour which is really flattering on lots of skin tones. I have used the highlighter twice and also think it's good, so this palette is so affordable at only £3.50 yes it's unbelievable how much you can get for your money from Makeup revolution!

Lastly I am going to mention my Sleek Contour Kit mine is in fair, it is a lovely small little face duo perfect for adding colour into your skin with the bronzing shade and the gorgeous little highlighter shade, this is one of the best contour kits I've tried from Superdrug, which is a drugstore shop or those who may be unfamiliar with UK drugstore shops! the contour shade doesn't come out too dark for my skin and blend so easily compared to most of these other shades of bronzing/contour shades. It's a perfect little contour kit!


Here are all the Contour Kits/Palettes I have mentioned, and the contents of them all.

Makeup Haul | Seventeen Cosmetics

So I'm Back with a makeup haul! Who doesn't love them eh?! 
So I was lucky enough to win an amazing giveaway and received all these wonderful products and also a seventeen mascara with I actually forgot to put in this picture (I'm super forgetful and have the memory worse than a goldfish I swear!) and I'm so so grateful as everything looks amazing!
So the two products I was most looking forward to are the contour kit and the glow highlighters and I have swatched them both and I'm thinking they could be my new favourites.
So the products  I got were:

Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour kit - This contour kit is a contour/bronzing shade and a highlighter duo, so is perfect for on the go and creating the look of cheekbones (which I don't have) So I love it because it defines your cheeks and I do find it actually slims my face down which I originally thought was a myth so I am happy about that! Buy here - Boots.com
Skin Wow 3 Way highlighter - I am so excited about this product as I'm loving highlighter recently, I find that and contouring really works magic on my face and I love doing this step in my makeup routine, I can't wait to try it! Buy here - Boots.com
Skin Wow Tan Liquid Glow - This looks quite scary, but when I swatched it, the highlight blended so easily and a little goes a long way so don't use to much or you'll look like a disco ball! Nonetheless I'm excited to try it out! Buy here - Boots.com
Seventeen Wet Look Lacquer Liquid Eyeliner - I am just getting my confidence with doing eyeliner and the nib on this one looks really think and dare I say it quite easy to do. I can't wait to try and will keep you all updated with it. Buy here - Boots.com
Lip Crayon in Knockout - Now this is such a pretty Autumnal lip colour which I think I will really love this autumn/winter as I don't actually have many lipsticks this colour or even that similar too. It looks lovely and applies easily. Buy here - Boots.com
Seventeen Cheek Stamp - This product is the least easy to apply it comes out very powdery, but is such a lovely coral colour, I will keep giving it a go as I love the concept of it being a stamp so will keep you updated here on my blog. Buy here - Boots.com
Brows that Brow Kit - I think this looks like such a handy little kit, you can see what this looks like inside in the below picture, I'm not such if it will be too dark for me but we will just have to see, I like the fact it includes a pencil as Some people will like to use a pencil before filling in their brows, I also love the packaging! So sleek and pretty! Buy Here - Boots.com
Seventeen Falsifeye HD Mascara - I feel so silly for missing this one out of the picture but I suppose this happens when you quickly want to take some blog photos because of quick lighting changes! But anyway I had to try this mascara straight away because of it's claims and oh my I love it! It creates the look of more full lashes which makes them look more false but they don't look too spidery or in your face, I just LOVE this one! Buy here - Boots.com
