Technic Colour Fix Palettes Reviewed & Swatched!

Hey beaut's!

Recently I've blown away by Technic Cosmetics eyeshadow palettes, the quality is just so good for the price and when I saw Technic had a Colour Fix range that consists of blush, contour and highlight palettes in cream and powder formula's I just had to see what they where all about!

Technic Colour Fix Highlighter Palette* £4.99

I think highlighting is my favourite step when applying my makeup, I'm literally obsessed with the look of highlighter on my skin, I mean who doesn't like to look like a glazed donut, I know I do he he, and Technic's Highlighting Palette can achieve just that! The palette itself contains 8 highlighting shades with two different formula's, the four shades along the top of the palette are pressed powders and the four shades across the bottom are baked powder, all of which create the most stunning highlight. As you can see from the swatches the shades of the highlighters are all different making it so versatile and suitable for all skin tones, and the quality is incredible, I'm talking super pigment, super blinding, super glazed donut and super affordable, I love it!

Technic Colour Fix Powder Blush Palette* £2.99

If you love a pink toned blush then this Colour Fix Powder Blush Palette is for you, it contains eight all matte shades - six of which are different tones of pink and two of which can double up as bronzers and blushes which is a nice bonus. The formula of these powders is lovely, I was quite surprised to see such pigment from matte blushes that are so affordable but as you can see from the swatches some of the shades are quite intense and a light hand is needed during application, they do go on beautifully though and blend out nicely, for £2.99 you really cant go wrong.

Technic Colour Fix Cream Foundation Contour Palette* £3.99

Contouring isn't something I do often but when I do I always like to opt for cream formulations as their so much easier to work with than powder and this Technic palette works a treat! All eight shades are so creamy and blendable and what I love the most is that they dry down to a matte finish which means they don't feel tacky, heavy or move around on my skin through the day. Theres a good mix of shades to play around with too whether you want to highlight or contour and I find it such an easy palette to use, which is really saying something because I'm such a novice when it comes to contouring, he he! 

Overall I think whether your new to makeup or a pro these palettes are great, I honestly cant knock the quality for the price and I've really been enjoying using them all, I do have to admit that the highlighting palette is my favourite but that's only because I'm such a highlighter addict he he!

Have you tried any of Technic Cosmetics Colour Fix Palettes beaut's? Which is your favourite? I'd love to know!

September Beauty Favourites

Hey beaut's!

It's monthly favourites time again.... Who's totally obsessed with all things Autumnal already? I know I am he he. These next few months coming up are my absolute favourite, I love it! Anyway before I get into my beauty favourites I have to just add in a couple of TV favourites, I don't normally do this but wow, who's been watching Doctor Foster and Liar, I'm totally addicted! I still have no idea who's lying in Liar, is she crazy and making everything up?? Is he absolutely vile?? Who knows, but I cant wait to find out!

I have been totally obsessed with my Z Palette and my Anastasia Subculture Palette recently, my Z Palette has a mix of Makeup Geek and Freedom Makeup shades and I've particularly been loving the shade Grandstand by Makeup Geek (middle, far right), it's the most stunning rose gold/copper shade with a foil finish that can be used in so many ways, I'm obsessed!

Zoella's Snow'ella Body Mist has been my favourite scent all throughout September, its so fresh, bright and clean and is amazing for everyday, casual use! Technic's Metalix Eyeshadow Cream in Taupe Be has been my go to for days when I quickly need to whack some eyeshadow on a get out the door without the need for loads of blending, it looks so stunning on the eyes and it sets really well too and doesn't budge once it's on! Tanya Burr's Peonies Please Illuminating Powder has been my total obsession since my birthday in August, it's the prettiest blush/highlight hybrid I've ever seen or used, the pinky glow is just stunning, if you haven't tried this yet then you need to beaut's! Finally for lips I've been using Revlon's Black Cherry Lipstick, although it looks super dark in the bullet it's actually a lovely berry colour perfect for Autumn, you can find my swatch of it HERE.

What have you been loving this September  beaut's?? I'd love to know!
