Price  $58.00 (now $29.00)

Size 0.48 oz / 13.5 gl

My Rating   ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

A convenient palette that contains all you need to Contour, Strobe, and Highlight your complexion.

My Review:

Been using it for a while now. Bought it when it was new on the market. Its now priced at half of what I paid for it. Comes in 4 creamy shades which blend beautifully. 2 contour, 1 highlight & 1 illuminator. For me its highlighter & illuminator are just fine but I like its contour shades the most. Light or Deep contour shades so that one can switch according to need & mood. Beauty-blender is my best buddy for this creamy formula. 2nd best contour after Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Match Stix Trio

This product is available in 6 shades.

Reviewed – TOO FACED Candlelight Glow Highlighting Powder Duo

Posted on by SM

Color  Rosy Glow

Price  C$38.00

Size 0.35 oz/ 10.4 mL

My Rating   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

A highlighting powder duo powered by “Photolite” technology.

My Review:

One of the best highlighting powder products in the market. Subtle yet catches the light, totally my thing. Although it’s a duo product & both shades are great but I prefer mixing them together & the results are amazing 🙂 . It applies quite smoothly & evenly, leaving you with a very natural look. If you are into extreme highlighting results then this may not be the product of choice for you.

This product is available in 2 shades.

Reviewed – CIATÉ LONDON Dewy Stix – Luminous Highlighting

Posted on by SM

Color Glow – natural transparent

Price  C$31.00

Size  0.17 oz/ 5 g

My Rating   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

A highlighting balm that adds a gorgeous wet dewy glow to any skin-tone.

My Review:

If you love a natural dewy look then this product is for you. True to its name this dewy stix really makes your skin glow. Makeup or no makeup this thing really does the job. I was very skeptical about this product at first. Appeared more akin to a lip balm on first impressions but I’m glad it proved me wrong. This is one of those products which you may always want to keep handy. Not at all sticky, light as air & in my opinion underrated.

This product is available in 3 shades.

Glow – natural transparent

Lustre – pink iridescent

Gleam – gold opal

My Review – Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder

Posted on by SM

Color Translucent

Price  C$55.00

Size   .36 oz / 10.5 g

My Rating   ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

An ultra-refined powder formulated with light-reflecting particles to blur imperfections, packaged in an innovative sifter designed dispense the perfect amount of product.

My Review:

There was hype surrounding this product on social media & amongst beauty gurus. Glad to say it didn’t let me down. One of the best setting powder products out there in the market although somewhat expensive. It is super smooth & light as air. It blurs the appearance of pores & provides an air-brushed finish. With its invisible finish this happens to be my favourite setting powder thus far.

My Review – Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Match Stix Trio

Posted on by SM

Color  Tan 300 – Caramel, Truffle, Rum

Price  C$67.00

Size   2 x 0.25 oz/ 7.10 g (Matte Skin stick), 0.25 oz/ 7.10g (Shimmer Skin stick)

Skin type: For all skin type

My Rating   ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

A magnetized trio of long-wear, light-as-air makeup sticks curated by skin tone, with two Match Stix Matte Skinsticks to conceal and contour, and one Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick to highlight.

My Review:

Picked up the TAN 300. This included Caramel, Truffle & Rum. These go on really smooth and are super blend able. Tried all type of contour products & this is by far the best one I have ever used.

Concealer wasn’t my shade, thats the only problem I faced in this pre-bundled trio. I may go with the shade “Linen” as a concealer in the future. Stay tuned for a review down the road.

Highlighter is really good with no glitter/shimmer whatsoever. Just a nice smooth metallic finish, just the way a highlighter should be!

With a built-in magnet they click together so it easy for us to find them in our bags or drawers. 😉

Took one star out for the pre-bundled selection, otherwise it’s a five-star product! 🙂
