I feel like it’s been ages since I last shared my current ‘everyday’ makeup routine and so for my latest video I decided to film a get ready with me video, using some of my current makeup favourites, that I like to use for my simple day to day makeup.

Today I’ve gone for a glowing look as I try out a few makeup products from B. At Superdrug.
B. Contour Kit in Medium
I’m pretty impressed with this contour kit. I have the shade medium which seems to suit my skin tone perfectly. I wasn’t sure about the highlight side at first but after giving it ago I actually love how fresh and dewy it makes my skin look. This is perfect for adding a really natural looking, everyday highlight without any glitter or too much shimmer.
B. Sculpted Blush Highlight Stick in Dark
This blush and highlight stick comes in a handy little size that is ideal for carrying around in your handbag.
As you can see from the swatch on my hand, the pigment of both the highlight and the blush is quite strong but I found that they do blend on the skin quite easily. I applied the blush to the apple of my cheeks using my fingers and added to my highlight with the highlight side of the stick. This highlighter is a lot stronger than the one in the contour kit so it’s great for adding that extra glow when you want to go all out.
B. Rich Intense Colour Lipstick
Last but not least is the lipstick and I’m tying out shade Suki which is a vibrant red. First impressions and I am loving this this lipstick. It’s a matte lipstick, yet it doesn’t feel drying on the lips. The colour comes out bold and so far I’ve had it on for a few hours and it still feels moisture rich. So far, so good.
The completed look…
I’m pretty pleased with these B. Products. I’d be keen to try out more of their makeup now after trying out these. I think these three products will be perfect for keeping in my handbag when I’m on the go, incase I quickly need to top up/glam up my makeup.
Have you tried the B. Makeup range?

For the longest time I found myself in awe of the perfectly contoured makeup looks and the expertly defined brows using some of Anastasia Beverly Hills most talked about products. I was so pleased when I finally got my hands on some of their most hyped products: The Pro Series Contour Kit and Brow Wiz, from Cult Beauty.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in dark brown
When I first opened the brow wiz I have to admit, I thought it didn’t look too dissimilar to the Sleek Brow Stylist, which is half the price. However, one thing I did notice is that the pencil/crayon end of the Brow Wiz is significantly slimmer than the Brow Stylist.
The application of Brow Wiz is so easy because it doesn’t come out too heavy and its slim tip means that it is easy to create very natural looking eyebrow stokes. The brush end is also extremely useful for helping to comb and shape the brows. Since having this product I’ve not stopped using it and I can easily say that this is the best brow product I’ve used so far. I love the formula and even when I’m on the go I’m never without it!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Pro Series Contour Kit in light/medium
At first I had no idea where to start with the Pro Series Contour Kit. Although I regularly ‘contour’, as anyone who has seen my YouTube makeup videos will know, my technique is pretty basic and so I wasn’t sure what to do with multiple shades.
I’m not really a fan of the super heavy makeup look so I was slightly cautious at first, but one thing I discovered is that this contour kit is actually really easy to work with. I was really impressed with with the results after having first tried out the contour kit and now it’s become a part of my daily makeup routine. The shades blend so naturally with my skin tone and I’m able to use the contour kit when doing subtle day time makeup, which is something I especially love.

So the veridic is in – I say that yes Anastasia Beverly Hills products do actually live up to the hype. I’ve intoduced two new products into my makeup routine which I love and feel I couldn’t go without now! Next on my list is some of their fabulous looking lip stains! Have you tried them?
