Collection Precision Contouring Stick £3.99 Boots

Contouring is something I love, but as a pale girl, I always find it difficult to find the right colour for my skin. For me, I look for taupe colours, as they are closest to how my skintone looks in shadow, but a lot of contouring products are too brown/muddy. 
When I was browsing in Boots, I came across this cream contouring stick by Collection. Collection are an affordable brand, that creates some amazing products, like the Lasting Perfection Concealer, which every blogger raves about. So, I was very intrigued by this contouring stick, as the colour seemed like a great taupe shade. 


I had very high expectations for this contouring stick, and I was very impressed! I have always wanted a cream contouring product in my makeup collection, as I only had one contouring powder from NYX, and powder can sometimes look quite heavy in day light. This cream contour has the right amount of pigmentation, is super easy to blend and is the perfect size for makeup bags. It's so easy to use, that a makeup/contouring newbie would be able to easily work with it. 
It looks very natural on the skin, which is perfect for daytime, and it can be built up for a stronger contour for the evening. I just love the dimension it adds to my face! It defines my cheekbones, jawline and temples, without looking fake. 
Honestly, I don't think I can come up with any downsides to this product!



Overall, I 100% recommend this product, especially to the pale girls out there. It comes in three different shades and is very affordable. I know I will be repurchasing it, when mine runs out!

Have any of you tried this product?

As it is International Lipstick Day, I thought that I would swatch and share with you all of my lip products. I'm not going to go through each product and say what I like & dislike, as that would make this post extremely long/boring. However, I have swatched each product for you, so that you can see the pigmentation, colour and finish. 
I am going to apologise that there might be quite a few lip products that are now discontinued or in old packaging. I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to lip products, so I tend to forget to bin old lipsticks. Also, there are a couple of really old lipsticks in this collection, but they have sentimental value to me, so I won't be binning them anytime soon (even though I don't wear them!).

Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking through my collection!

Finally, a great budget-friendly eyeshadow palette! I have been playing around with this palette from Collection for a while, and I have fallen in love. No, the quality isn't at MAC or Urban Decay standard. But, for a budget brand, they are pretty close in quality. Overall, there are 3 palettes to choose from (Nude, Nude Grey and Nude Bronze), and I decided on the Nude Grey palette. I am tempted to buy the other two now, because this one impressed me so much.

Today, I thought that I would share my entire shoe collection with you all. Yes, all 21 pairs with you. I decided to create a video of my collection so that it was easier to see how the shoes looked on etc. 
I also screenshotted each pair for you to get a better look at them. 
I hope you enjoy the video!

(p.s. The nail polish colour is Water Street Blue by NYC In a New York colour minute)
