My Sephora Wishlist: Contour

Hi guys, I hope that you're all having a wonderful weekend so far and welcome back to the fifth part of my 'Sephora Wishlist' series! I first started this series a few months back when I realised how much I loved trawling the Sephora site, even though I live in the UK where we do not actually have Sephora stores. I have chosen to focus on contouring for this installment of the series as I have been obsessed with using my NARS bronzer to chisel out my cheekbones at the moment! Some may say that contouring is a trend that is on its way out due to the new 'strobing' obsession that is slowly filtering in but I believe that it is well and truly here to stay! So with that in mind, here are some contouring product that are firmly on my wishlist;

Kat Von D Shade & Light Contour Palette / Bare Minerals California Bronze Multi Effect Bronzing Duo / Sephora Highlight Lowlight Face Contour Duo / Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Stick Trio / Marc Jacobs Light Filtering Contour Powder / Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour / Make Up Forever Sculpting Kit / Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit 

Furthermore, I have heard such great things about some of the items featured above. Out of all of them, I think the products I would like to own most are the Smashbox sticks or the cult Anastasia palette! Do you like the contouring trend?

'Prime Time' by BareMinerals

Recently, I managed to get my hands on a mini version of the 'Prime Time' foundation primer from BareMinerals after my Mum visited the Feel Unique store over in Jersey. I am a huge fan of primers and I wear one almost every day because my combination skin means that my foundation can slip off of my face or become shiny very quickly. I have tried many in the past and my favourites include Benefit's Porefessional and Clinique's Superprimer. However, I am always up for trying a new formula and I was excited to finally try out 'Prime Time' for myself after hearing lots of raving review from fellow beauty bloggers.

A normal bottle of Prime Time is 30ml in size and costs £21.00, however, my mini comes in at half the size - 15ml (which is every generous in my opinion!) My Mum received this primer as part of a BareMinerals kit but she kindly passed this product on to me, as I would get a lot more sue out of it.

So far, I have been liking this primer quite a lot but not as much as my aforementioned trusty favourites above. I think the main reason why this might be the case is because Prime Time is traditionally supposed to be used under mineral foundations (which BareMinerals are of course renound for.) However, I only use liquid foundations and so it will obviously not be as effective. Although with that being said, I have still enjoyed using this product. Prime Time glides onto my skin with ease and creates a lovely, matte base that smoothes over my pores and imperfections. As far as the longevity of my foundation throughout the day goes, it does keep my oily T-zone in check for a relatively long time. 

Overall, I do like this primer but it will certainly not be replacing my usual primer just quite yet. Maybe if you do use mineral powder foundations on a regular basis (which is what this product is specifically designed for,) however, you might see much greater results!
