Is The Morphe Highlight and Contour Sponge Worth The Hype??

Hey beaut's!

It's been a while, this is my first post of 2020 so happy new year guys and gals...arhh I cant believe we're now in a new decade, pure craziness! Anyway just after the festivities I did post my 'What I Got For Christmas' blog post and within that post I shared that I had received the Morphe Highlight and Contour Sponge, I had wanted to try this best selling sponge for ages and thankfully my Mum bought it for me bless her! So is it really worth the hype?? Lets find out!

I have to jump straight in and say this little sponge by Morphe has been a complete game changer for me, it bounces on and blends my foundation and concealer with complete ease without leaving any streaks and makes my base makeup look so smooth, lightweight and natural and I never have any problems with my makeup looking cakey or going cakey during the day when I use this little beauty. The sponge itself is quite firm when dry but gets more bouncy when it's wet, I will admit though it does still have a slight firmness to it when it's wet, it's not what I'd call light and foamy but it's not rock solid either - it's somewhere in between, it feels more durable if that makes sense and like it will last longer! The shape of the sponge is absolutely amazing for all area's of the face, the roundness at one end makes it so easy to use and blends your cream and liquid products in like a dream and then the flatter almost triangular end is great for getting into the harder to reach area's around your nose, eyes and brows, also if your fond of the 'baking' trend the sharper end of the sponge works incredibly well because you can stripe on loose powder under your contour and under your eyes really precisely. 

In my opinion the Morphe  Highlight and Contour Sponge is definitely worth they hype and I can see why it's a best seller, my foundation and concealer looks so lightweight and flawless when I use my sponge - which is everyday without fail he he - it's also affordable at just £8.00 making it much cheaper than the original beauty blenders and only a couple of pounds more than the Real Techniques sponge! I feel like the Morphe sponge is really robust too, most of my cheaper sponges rip and tear so easily but I cant really see this happening to my Morphe one anytime soon! Overall I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sponge, so thank you so much Mother for buying it for me for Christmas!

Morphe Fall Into The Frost Palette Review

Hey beaut's!

Last year I had my eyes set on the Morphe Fall Into The Frost Eyeshadow Palette but my goodness it was hard to find anywhere that actually had it in stock, I waited weeks and then eventually gave up but my heart was still longing for that palette. Fast forward to nearly a year on and I was randomly browsing on the Beauty Bay website and the little Fall Into The Frost beauty was in stock so it went straight into my basket and I promptly checked out, obviously I done a celebratory dance too he he. After using the Fall Into The Frost Palette for a few weeks now I can definitely see not only why this palette is popular but also why Morphe is raved about too, its a bloody fantastic palette.

The Fall Into The Frost Palette (35F) contains a whopping thirty five warm toned shades that us Autumn and Winter loving girls basically dream of having on out eyelids at this time of the year, seven of the thirty five shades are matte and the other twenty eight are intense metallic hues, so theres certainly plenty of shades to mix and match with. The shade range is extensive with lots of orangey-brown, coppery shades which are so autumnal, and theres lots of purple, cranberry shades that are so dreamy for winter and the party season. Theres even some gorgeous champayne highlighter shades on the top row and the mattes on the bottom row are the perfect transitional/crease shades. 

The quality of the shades is phenomenal, each shade is buttery soft to swatch, intensely pigmented, they blend like an absolute dream and last so well on my oily eyelids, they pick up great on my brushes or on my fingers and even the matte shades wearnt really chalky. I also cant get my head around how affordable this palette is, it's just £23.00 for 35 shades, that's around 65p a shadow, it's such a bargain, I love it he he!

If your looking for a good quality, affordable palette that will have you totally covered for the entirety of autumn and winter then the Fall Into The Frost Palette is the one to invest in, I can see myself getting so much use out of this palette and I think the looks I can create are endless, on my it's so dreamy!
