Smooch Cosmetics Week - Persian Princess Lipgloss brush | lipgloss | nude | persian princess | review | smooch cosmetics | smooch week | twist

Hey beauties, 

This week is Smooch week. 

I was very, very kindly sent a bundle of products to try, so I figured I would dedicate a week to reviewing said products. 

I have given them a good test and I feel this week may come in handy, if you do ever fancy purchasing a few new items.

The Persian Princess lipgloss* is a simple twist and apply product. 

The product itself has a brush applicator, which if I'm entirely honest, isn't my favourite, but that may just be personal preference.
As with most Smooch Cosmetics packaging, it is black and simple, with the adorable lace detailing.

The lipgloss is a very pretty dark nude shade with a slight shimmer. I would say it looks closer to the real colour in the photos above, rather than those on the website.

On first use it can take a little work to get the product to actually appear, but after that, one simple twist and it's very easy. 

Applied to the lips, the product is more sheer, but still gives enough colour to be worn alone. 

As with many lip glosses, this one is a little sticky. Much noted by my better half when he stole a kiss the other day. Personally, I don't mind too much as I kind of expect it when wearing a lip gloss anyway. 

I may not be a huge fan of this type of applicator, but I haven't yet found an issue with the brush clogging or becoming solid. It's a very handy lip product to have if you just need to throw something in your handbag. 

If you would like to would like to try out this product, you can purchase it on the Smooch Cosmetics website.

Smooch Cosmetics Week - Smooched Bronzer bronzer | brush | cosmetics | highlighter | large | mirror | pr | review | sample | smooch | smooched

Hey beauties, 

This week is Smooch week. 

I was very, very kindly sent a bundle of products to try, so I figured I would dedicate a week to reviewing said products. 

I have given them a good test and I feel this week may come in handy, if you do ever fancy purchasing a few new items.

This is the Smooch Bronzer in Smooched*. 

Packaged in the sleek and simple black casing , you receive a great 10g of product. This includes a highlighter shade (which can be seen below,) that is neatly swirled into the bronzer.

The packaging is very much like that of Nars, and can get a little grubby due to it's matte, rubberised finished. But, this does mean that it's less likely to slip out of your hands.

Inside the casing is a handy brush and a huge mirror. I was really impressed.

I would definitely be happy to remove my compact mirror from my hand bag if I was to be carrying this around with me during the day.

The bronzer itself is a lovely tan shade, with a soft shimmer. It may be a little too orange toned for the fairer skinned, although I very much like it for myself. After all, I do love my bronzer. 

The highlighter is beautiful both on its own and mixed together with the bronzer. I did find it a little hard to use it alone as it's so thinly run through the product. I discovered using a tapered brush was the best was to pick up the highlighter only, if you do wish to do so. 

I found this may not be the best bronzer for use as a contour shade, due to its shimmer. But, this may be purely down to my own preference. Each to their own. 

It does on the other hand look amazing softly swept across the higher points of the face. I absolutely cannot wait to wear this is Summer when I have a little more colour in my skin to compliment it. 

If you are a bronzer fan like me, or even just want to give your skin a lovely bit of colour and glow, this is the product for you. 

When the sun is out, this is what I'll be reaching for. 

You can purchase this on the Smooch website for £13.95.

Being a #VIPmakebeliever, I'm lucky enough to try out products for them every now and then.
Last week, they contacted me and asked if I would like to try their bronzer. Of course, being the bronzer lover that I am, I jumped at the chance.

The bronzer and brush set comes in a simple black and gold box which houses a mirror in the lid and a magnetic closing feature. As with the tanning products, I absolutely love the design of the packaging. I do feel that maybe it's a teeny bit big if you are wanting to pop it in your handbag, but other than that I have absolutely no complaints. The magnet is nice and strong, so you can be sure that your bronzer will stay safe if you do decided to carry out with you.

The bronzer itself is soft and matte. There's nothing worse than an over shimmery face. The powder is nice and solid, therefore fallout and excess powder is minimal. It gives a gorgeous glow and does exactly what it says on the box. 

I prefer to use this as a soft contour, but it's also perfect if you want an extra bit of colour on your skin. 

To get the most from this bronzer, try using it with Makebelieve fake tan in zone 3. 

The brush is absolutely incredible. I'm always a little dubious about brushes that come with a product, but this one is so soft!! The brush is the perfect size to contour cheekbones and popping in your bag to take out with you. Usually I would normally forget about these kinds of brushes, but this one will now be a staple in my kit. I love it that much.

Makebelieve have very nicely supplied me with an extra bronzer for one of you guys. So if you fancy your chances of winning, make sure to enter below. Unfortunately the give away is for UK residents only. SORRRYYY.

If not, you can buy the bronzer for £15.00 here.
