How I use my ABH contour kit and Mini Review

Everyone has obviously been raving about the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, and I have joined the bandwagon - it is amazing! The powders are so fine and they blend into the skin like a dream. They are so well pigmented so a little goes a long way.

I bought it off the US website and got it shipped to the UK - I do not recommend doing this because even though it is cheaper in the US - there are custom costs and all sorts of hassle.

I bought the light palette and there are six colours in total. These are Vanilla, Banana, Sand, Java, Fawn and Havana.

The Vanilla shade is pink based and is my least used colour and I usually use it as an eyeshadow. The Banana shade is my favourite - I use it to set my under eyes and as a brightening powder. Sand is also another shade I don't use very often, but I use it as an inner corner and brow bone highlight and also sometimes as a general highlighter on the highest points on my face.

To contour I mix together Java and Fawn which looks perfect and natural and to bronze up and create a flawless finish I use Havana on my cheekbones.

There are many ways to use the contour kit, it is so versatile and is one of my favourites in my collection, hope you've enjoyed!

Ayumi Neem Face Wash Review

Today I have decided to do something a little different - one of my best friends came across a product recently that she can't seem to stop raving about and when she asked to do a guest post I was like hell yes! Read on to find out about this little gem she seems to have found...

Hey everyone! Tia here, one out of 3 of Bushra’s Best Friends. (Best of the 3 might I add).

So I just started university a month ago and surprise, surprise – my spot infested face shows exactly how stressed I already am! That’s when I realised I needed to make a change in my skincare routine to try and sort this out. I decided to start off with the basics and try a new face wash (I had been previously using a Simple Skincare face wash), something that goes above and beyond simple everyday needs… That’s when I stumbled upon *drum roll* Ayuuri Neem Face Wash!

Ayumi Neem Face Wash, £3.49 Sainsburys

The reason why this particular product caught my eye was due to its key ingredients: Neem and Tea Tree oils; which are well known for their anti-bacterial properties, as well as Peppermint oil to keep skin refreshed. I was also told that Neem has lightening properties too which is a bonus. I also love the fact that you get 200ml of the product for an amazing price!

I have only been using for about a week so far, every morning and night, using a pea sized amount and massaging it onto my dampened face in a circular motion. I do this until the gel lathers at which point I wash it off with cold water and just moisturise (I wash my face with hot water beforehand to up my pores).

After having used it for a little while I can already notice the difference! This face wash has managed to reduce the spots on my face, lightened my skin slightly (which is great for my uneven skin tone) and so far I haven’t seen any new spots appearing. Therefore I’m expecting even better results in the future!

I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who has had a recent breakout and for times when you’re stressed to prevent such breakouts. It’s just a really great product to help you through those tough times! I can already say I’ll definitely be repurchasing once it finishes!

Thank you all for the read and please continue to support my amazing best friend!

Love, Tia

P.S. This is my first time blogging so go easy on me and hope you enjoyed my little review!
