Depending on what you're trying to do, there are a whole host of contour Kardashian style products available but what's best for the every day natural contour look?
New to stores this month is the Sleek Cream Contour Palette. What's new with that you might think? We've seen sculpt and glow palettes before, right? The trick, my friends, is all in the cream formula. OOOOOH CREAM FORMULA - the marmite of makeup. Some people love them, some people hate them

Create Your Own Cheekbones with Sleek Cream Contouring Palette
Summer makeup for me is all about the glow. No, not the J-Lo perfume I wore when I was like 15 (lol), I'm thinking shimmery bronzed skin and dewy metallic cheeks. Beach and cocktails not mandatory but preferred.
For a healthy glow, cream blush is often the best but my oily skin is fussy and prefers a powder. So powder bronzer/highlighters trial it is then!

MAC Skinfinish Dupe From The Beauty Aisle At Tesco
It's all very well and good rocking giant purple eyeliner and blue lips on the catwalk or the Somerset House quad but can ANY of these looks actually translate to the real world?

From Backstage To Bathroom, Can I Pull Off This LFW Catwalk Look at Home?
So, I'm having an affair..... I've only just treated myself to a Burberry Lip Cover and now there's already a new lipstick love in my life. Another one?! Already?!
Lipsticks are the best transformational tool when it comes to changing up your look up (this is the main justification I give myself everytime I buy ANOTHER one) and these days, it's not just about the colour. It's also about TEXTURE.
For example, a shiny red lipstick on me screams glamour, sex and confidence but a matte red lipstick says sophistication, poise and charm... (Not buying it? Nah, Mr FV didn't either. I got a big eyebrow raising thrown in my direction.)
Either way - I consider myself to be supremely weak when it comes to buying more beauty, sooo unsurprisingly I ended up treating myself to this Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipgloss/lipstick/amazingness.... HIYA NEW BEAUTY FRIEND!

So, I've never had a great history with matte finishes. Given that my lips are crispy preeetty much all year round, matte finishes tend to highlight dry patches and look a bit flaky on my lips.
(See my comparison of Matte vs Glossy Revlon lip finishes here.)
So imagine my excitement when I tried the Bourjois Velvet lip cream and it didn't highlight any dry bits at all! In fact, it looked really smooth!

New Lipstick Love: Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet
I've always envied those of you with light hair. Having dark hair means that introducing vibrant colour can be tricky - let alone expensive and damaging.
The last time I had bright pink and purple streaks, I had to bleach my hair to unrecognisable colours before dying it again (via a little trip to Bleach London!). My hair was brittle and hard for ages, it took weeeeks of moisturising masks and oils to reverse the damage - the downsides of harsh colouring.
But what if I told you there was a way to get bright colour... without the bleach? Without the damage, without the permanence of it all. Commitment-free colour - is there such a thing?!
Today, I trial the vibrant effects of a range of hair chalks by #Flashmob Cosmetics and I'll tell you now - they are SO MUCH FUN.
Hair chalks have been having a little moment in the fashion and beauty world - this easy method of adding vibrant short term colour has been all over the catwalks and in every bloggers beauty bag!!
