Hi my lovelies!
You may have seen my recent post about the brand new webstore for Frontcover Cosmetics, if you haven't, you can read it HERE
I contacted the lovely people at Frontcover and asked if I could maybe review one of their new sets, and to my delight this lovely kit was delivered to my door yesterday morning. Now I just want to make it clear that I did not pay for this product as it was sent for review, but that does not change the fact that my opinions are 100% honest as always. 

The Bake Powder Collection contains 10 baked eyeshadows, 8 eye and cheek powders, shadowline eyeliner, a cheek brush and a double ended brush. 
The kit comes neatly packaged in a really sturdy 'magazine inspired' box which shows three different looks you can create with the kit. Two on the inside and one on the back. 
Both the eyeshadows and the eye and cheek powders are incredibly pigmented and have amazing wear. I tried out the eyeshadows yesterday, (as it turned up before I had put my face on,) and after cleaning the house top to bottom, the shadows wear still perfect. I kind of expected a little creasing as I hadn't used an eye primer, but not one teeny bit of creasing occurred. 
The cheek powders are gorgeous, slightly shimmery but perfect for a summer glow. 
Brushes wise, I love the little double ended brush, if you're without make-up tools, this will do the job no problem. The cheek brush on the other hand isn't really for me, but I think that's more down to personal preference. I tend to enjoy using more of a fluffy brush, but again if you were without tools, this would definitely do the job. 
If I'm totally honest, I haven't tried the shadowline yet, but according to the instructions it turns any eyeshadow into an eyeliner. This I am intrigued in and I think I'll be doing a separate video for this. :)

The Baked Powder Collection is sold for £18 and you can purchase it from the new Frontcover webstore.

This week saw the launch of a brand new webstore for the cult British brand. 
Being the excitable make-up lover that I am, I had to check it out immediately. The store is selling six new kits exclusively, which of course stay true to Frontcovers promise to help you replicate an array of stunning catwalk looks. 
The Spring/Summer range contain everything you need to create each specific look, along with step by step instructions on how to do so. 
The new range is super affordable and I will most definitely be wanting to get my grubby mits on a few bits. 

Below I've picked out my top three favourites to show you.
Colour Of The Season - Pink - £16
Inside this box you receive 3 domed baked eye shadows, 3 lip glosses, black kohl with smudger, lip liner, 1 blusher, a nail varnish, cheek brush and a double ended brush.
This kit contains everything you may need to recreate the smoky pink looks seen on the s/s runways of the likes of Chanel.
 Pencil and Polish - £12
You probably already know this, but colour blocking is a major trend this summer. This kit contains a creamy eye pencil and a nail varnish in yellow, orange, turquoise and blue. The kit also supplies you with a sharpener for your pencils.
With this kit you can create an array of mixing or clashing looks.
The Baked Powder Collection - £18
This kit is head to head with the 'Colour of the season kit' (above) to be my utmost favourite kit. It contains 18 baked powder eye and cheek shades in a variety of colours, a shadowline eyeliner and brushes.
This is the ideal kit if you are looking to create the most gorgeous smoky eye.
