Surprising Products

Do you ever buy products and when you first give them a go, they are nothing like you expected? Well these are a few of those products, all of which after some time and effort turned into gems in my collection.
Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Nude Foundation | Initially I thought this was so cakey, way too thick and looked awful on the skin. However once I had played around a bit this has become my everyday foundation, applied with a damp beauty blender it works perfectly into your skin, with a full to medium coverage it is more suited to Autumn/ Winter time, and personally I don't set this with foundation otherwise it can be cakey.

MAC Bronzing Powder Matte Bronze | My first impressions of this was that it was far to orange for my skin tone, although a lovely powder I didn't think it would work for me until the height of summer and when I'm at my darkest in terms of tan. However once I started applying a little less, working it into my skin and blending it works so well and a slightly warmer toned bronzer actually works so well and helps to add some warmth to my pale complexion during the colder months.

KIKO Contouring Pencil Set | In particular the bronzer, I bought this just to give it a go and see what it was like with not much hope on how it works. I started off applying way too much not really working it properly and ending up with muddy stripes down my face. I now however love it I am so tempted to purchase more in fear of them running out. The highlighter I'm still working with but this bronzer/ contour shade is my everyday go to, I apply a little then build it up and blend it out with my real techniques contour brush and it works amazingly.
