Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit VS. Cover FX Contour Kit

I bought the ABH Contour Kit in Light and immediately regretted it. First of all it's too dark for me in general. The highlighting colors don't do much for me and none of the contour colors work for me either. Now this could be my fault because I heard they're coming out with a Fair option later on. But I think even disregarding the fact the shades don't work for me I still don't like this palette. Also it's EXTREMELY warm toned. When it comes to contouring that's definitely not what you want. I think it almost makes me look dirty. The creams are also extremely thick and seem to move around my foundation when I try to blend it out and break it up which ends up looking terrible.

Now on the other hand I received a sample of the contour kit from Cover FX in one of my Sephora orders and after using it, I'm completely in love. The creams are so smooth and glide one effortlessly. The N60 contour shade is perfect for those as pale as I am. Have I mentioned I'm in love? The N20 highlight also works perfect for a triangular shape under my eyes without making me look too pale as other highlights have. It's definitely worth it to at least go to Sephora and have them try it on you! I'm sure you'll fall in love too. (I don't have pictures of this one since I only had a sample.)

I'd completely recommend the Cover FX one over the ABH one any day.

BH Cosmetics Glamorous Blush Palette Review

The BH Cosmetics Glamorous Blush Palette is currently $8 (BH Cosmetics products are constantly on sale for various percents off so this might change) and can be found here.

I got this product probably about two months ago and let me just tell you from the start that I am in LOVE! It has every blush color I could need and I have no problems with the formula at all. I'm not a major blush junkie because I feel like sometimes it can make my rosacea more apparent. But ever since getting this palette I really like wearing blush, particularly for the first two shades on top and the first two shades on the bottom. They're so neutral that I think they work perfect for me and don't bring out the redness of my rosacea at all!

Back to the formula, again I'm not a blush junkie. I don't know a ton about what makes a blush a good blush. But for $8 I would not say this is a cheap performing product at all. I guess one thing I could point out is there is a lot of kick up initially when you are putting your brush in the product so it's a bit powdery but if you just tap your brush before applying then that shouldn't be a problem.

So bottom line: Love it, you need it, get it.
