Hey ladies, thank you for reading my blog. It's honestly been too long since I posted, I have been busy with lots and lots of things, I am still busy which means I am not going to be regularly posting stuff, however I am not going to totally ignoring you guys. This post is basically to celebrate. Of course you are all familiar with the wonderful blog chanel cupcakes cameras and crayons, the fabulous blogger behind it Noha Youssef celebrate her birthday generously enough with an amazing Mega Giveaway with 8 Prizes and 8 winner. The amazing news that I was the winner of one of the giveaways, it's the Victoria's secret Ultimate Studio Makeup Kit presented by Bespoke Egypt. I have been using the kit for a week now, creating different looks and here is the review on it. The packaging was really secure, Thanks to amazing Bespoke people, it had lots of bubble wrap around it which was fun for 2 days; I really felt that they wanted me to enjoy it without a scratch. The box is really girly and cute as you can see, it's lined with glittery pink and it had candice swanepoel on it with a description of everything in the kit. 30 eye shadows, 5 lip glosses, 5 lipsticks, 4 blushes, 1 luminous powder, 1 translcent powder, 1 bronzer, 1 mascara, 1 lip liner, 2 eye applicators, 2 lip brushes, 1 face brush and 1 eyeliner. You've got this huge mirror on the front which is great; however you may need to take care if you're traveling with the kit; I always keep it in it's box just in case.It has this thing in the back that make it stand up like if it's on display, and you guys it's amazing because I just put it like that on my vanity and it makes it super easy to reach for everything.
I will start with the eye-shadows. The variety is great, you get different shades and tones horizontally you've got neutrals, then earthy tones, blues, and finally the roses, greys and blacks. All of the eye shadows have shimmer in them; except one matte black shadow and another one matte brown shadow which I use for contouring my nose making it look smaller. The shimmer isn't too shimmery it's like the right amount of shimmer. The shadows differ one of them is so shimmery it's almost glittery and I think that is really great for clubbing. The turquoise is really amazing and I haven't used turquoise before, seriously in for the summer.The pigmentation is good you need like 2 -3 layers if you're going for a dramatic look. I would recommend using eye primer if you're going to sweat.
The lip sticks mostly are more long lasting than the lipglosses. I am in love with the dark beige one, if you mix it with the champagne lip gloss gives a neutral sexy look. My lips are really pigmented naturally so the red lipstick wasn't like Ferrari red, but it was like a watermelony red, perfect for the summer. The pinks are nice because there are variations of pink with different shimmer levels which is perfect. There is like a gold shimmery lipgloss at the very bottom it's seriously sexy even if worn alone.
4 blushers, they are all pink with variant shades. the lightest shade is the most shimmery one, however the shimmer doesn't come off weirdly it's think it's good since it's almost wedding season to have some shimmer on cheeks. You've got your daily blush, it's light and matte, really natural. The darker shades would be great for the summer after tanning and for the nights.
The translucent powder has a little bit of shimmer, but you apply it; you get coverage not glittery face which is good news. The luminous powder is amazing for highlighting under eyes, chin and under the nose. I used the bronzing powder, again it has shimmer in it but it's great; I use it to contour my cheeks and hair line.
The mascara, even through is tiny; however it's wicked. It's a great mascara, doesn't run or melt or anything, and it keep lashes natural looking and full, also it's easy to be removed. As I told you before I never used lip liner, the VS liner is great because the color is close to my natural lips color and it really brings out my lips; I used it with all lip glosses and lip sticks and it's amazing. The eyeliner, it's really an eye pencil; it's pigmentation is really good which is hard to find in Egypt. The black eye pencil is great for water liner, under eye and even over the eye if you're going for a smoky look or a pin up girl look.
All in All the makeup kit is AMAZING! you can shop for it directly here. It's really good for taking looks from day to night and for creating new looks for yourself, it has everything in it so it comes in handy when you wanna save up space in your luggage when traveling, do make sure the mirror is safe by putting it in the box and the white secure sheet inside that provide a cushion like security. I was so happy when I knew that I won, I was even happier when I got it and I am happy now that I own it, I would re-purchase or actually purchase since this time it was a gift.
