Pro Essential Kit

Hello Everybody! So after not having a new post in years (literally years!) I've been recently getting motivated with ideas. I have walked through town and browsed through stores and made me have the inspiration on making this post for you. This is a make-up kit review by the brand Freedom, which is developed the UK.

Honestly, I have never heard of this brand before, the reason for buying it was the make-up counter for this brand in super drug was literally quite empty! The price I though was affordable, but that really determines on whether the products are good or not, right?

After buying the product I have tried it out for a night, which is about 6 hours? During my work time. I can say that its actually pretty good?! The box comes with 7 different products (like a starter make-up kit). I will review each products for you judging from my experiences and my point of view. (Noticed I missed one of the product out, Oops?!)

          C O N T O U R

Pro Contour - Fair

So here we have the Pro Contour. This is in the shade of Fair, to be honest I would have preferred something a little darker personally, since I have quite a tanned skin. 
Pigment: 7/10 - After swatching the item, it seemed pretty pigmented, not overly though.
Visible: 6/10 - The reason why I gave it such a low score is because after the first application, it's not that great. But perhaps you can keep adding on if its not how you like it.
Wear: 6/10 - After finishing work, I don't think I really noticed the contour anymore, it seems to fade quite quick. 

         E Y E B R O W S

Eyebrow kit comes in three shades, the dark brown, a medium grayish and very light beige which could be used as a highlight, there is also wax to fix your eyebrows.
I personally not a big fan of this kind of eyebrow kit, I like to use a gel eyebrow pen and a pencil. 
Pigment: 8/10 - The dark colour is really dark you need to brush it to lighten it up!
Visible: 9/10 - You can totally notice it.
Wear: 8/10 - I only tried it on once, like I said I'm not really a fan but it lasted all day to be fair.
So if you want something small & convenience to take and touch up in your bag, this might be the thing for you.

E Y E P R I M E R & F I X I N G  S P R A Y         

So now we have the eye primer, which honestly I have no idea if it really made any difference. The fixing spray, let me just say it smells, it doesn't have that odourless smell, or nice smell, it just smells like a bunch of chemicals, which personally I think I don't want to use something which has a strong scent.
Wear: 6/10 - This is for the eye primer which felt quite good while applying, non sticky.
8/10 - I felt like the make up did stay during the night time, but the smell puts me of a bit.

                          P R O  C O R R E C T  P A L E T T E

I got to say that I LOVE, this product. It's just so great, I've never used something like it. I mean I use it to conceal the red parts on my face and my under eye, and it's so long lasting. Normally when I use a concealer, it tends to smudge of, but I'm sure this one is perfect for me.
As you can see it comes in 6 different colour shades.
Wear: 9/10 - light and easy to apply, and it stays for the whole day!
Pigment: 8/10 - just a little swatch is all you need, dab it onto your under eyes and it just stays there. The white is so pigmented so don't use too much!

      H I G H L I G H T E R

Yeah, about the highlighter. I don't think that it does an awful lot. It's not the best quality highlighter, I wouldn't recommend to buy it individually, if you wanted a highlighter I recommend you to buy their contouring kit which has two shades which can be used as a highlighter.

Pigment: 6/10 - it's not really that great for a highlight, it should at least be quite pigmented so you wouldn't need a lot.

Wear: 5/10 - you don't really notice this highlighter.

So that's the end of my make-up review of the Freedom make-up kit. I hope you liked it and will be posting some more make-up reviews if you enjoy these!

Thank you for reading and see you next time.

Soap and Glory Lidshadow & Linerstick Review

The Daily Double by Soap & Glory

Introducing to the 2in1 Soap and Glory Stick.

Photograph : By me

This is a very smooth and effective (let's say 2in1 eye shadow).

What it does?

Well, to me it is like a eye shadow with two different shades. The Ombre A Paupieres is a lighter color which you apply on first to your eyes lids and is followed by the Crayon liner which adds more dimension to your eye lids.

This product is FAB! And the reason I'm loving it is because it last all day.

I apply it in the morning at around 8am, and it last till night time when I remove it.

If you're looking for a eye shadow that is long lasting, I'd use this one. No eyelid primer needed!

This looks quite grainy but you get an idea of what it looks like.

To apply, just put the light color to guild the darker first. Don't forget to 

blend with your finger tips then quickly apply the crayon liner.

Brought this from boots at the price: £8.50

Selection of colors:

 Brownie & Velvet Pink

 Plum Plum & Ultra Violet

 Greenlight & Fresh cream

Thanks for reading! :D

  Review

Texture ✮✮✮✮ - The texture is very light and a silky feel to it. 

The more you blend the better (for me personally).

Scent ✮✮✮✮ - To me it has this very fresh light scent, if you apply it onto 

your face it will not smell like chemicals as you might have experience 

in other products.

Time ✮✮✮✮ - around 6-7 hours for me.

One of the things you probably want to know about this product is...

Does it last long?

For me, around about 6-7 hours. I have noticed that during the day 

the make-up on my face loosens up more. But overall I love this products and is recommended 

as people say!

Texture ✮✮✮✮- Light, not creamy and easy to apply. Little does a lot.

Time ✮✮✮ - It does the coverage but not for all day, maybe you'll need to

take it in your hand bag or something to touch up during the day when you need it.

Normally, I like using CC cream more and I used it before i started

using this benefit foundation. I like how it gives SPF 25 too, so you won't have

to worry too much about sunlight!

Tip!

I tend to use my fingertips to blend the foundation onto my face because

I have tried with the brush (apparently gives flawless looks) but it

gives me these weird finish where you can see the foundation.

Looks like it isn't blended in quite well when you apply the powder later.

I find using my fingertips much better and it blends in with the

porefessional more too.

After I use the foundation I have the concealer for my under eyes,

Since I always have panda eyes!! 

Boi-ing 02 is a very light color and goes well with

my skin tone and it should be enough for me, but

I also wanted to blend the boi-ing 03 which gives more of an orange tone.

When I blend it in, it gives more of a natural look and blends in well.

(Maybe 02 is a bit too bright and unnatural)

Last thing, the brush.

Softness ✮✮✮ - Not the softest, but I didn't expect a super good quality

because you'd have to buy that separately if you wanted a good quality one.

Even though its not soft, it does apply well on my face and makes it look flawless.

So that sums up my review on the Benefit Flawless Complexion Makeup kit.

I hope you liked my review and I apologize for not the professional layout But, I'll try my best in the future! ;)

The price of the set is £25.50
