Benefit Hoola Quickie Contour Stick

Everyone has probably owned a box of Benefit's famous Hoola bronzing powder at some stage, and it looks like the Hoola family is about to be extended. Not only have they released a lighter shade of cult classic Hoola, Benefit have also created a contour stick promising to make sculpting the face an absolute breeze.


Encased in similar packaging to Dew The Hoola, the 'Quickie Contour Stick' is a cream to powder formula that boasts fantastic pigment. We all know that in order to create a realistic looking contour the shade used needs to be slightly cool toned in order to mimic a shadow. This stick is not too warm and has such a good tone for contouring, it could probably also be used as a cream bronzer if you're into that.


I'm not a massive cream to powder formula fan as I prefer powder products just because I find them easier to blend. However this product does blend out well and is builable without looking heavy or muddy, something which is very hard to achieve with a cream contour product. I would be wary of using powder products alongside this though, as on my first attempt I did find it started to wear patchy throughout the day after I set my face with a translucent powder. However, Benefit do recommend setting it with a swish of Hoola powder, to accentuate and intensify your contour.

Overall I think this is a convenient little product and certainly lends itself well to creating a quick contour. Benefit are all about easy, everyday products and this is no different. The Hoola Quickie Contour Stick is available in May and will be priced at £23.50. Can we have the Dandelion Twinkle now, please?

Nails Inc Unicorn Nails


Nails Inc are the Rolls Royce of the nail polish world, and if anyone knows how to create a unique launch it's them.



Their latest 'Sparkle Like a Unicorn' duo is sure to get any nail junkie's heart racing, like it did to me when it suddenly appeared on my Instagram feed.

Rainbow Wishes is an ethereal purple-blue colour shifting polish, that looks simply stunning on the nails. While Dream Dust is a rose gold shimmer, that glistens in any light.


Not only are they both extremely eye catching, they wear well and I found my nails being the topic of conversation on numerous occasions.

The duo retail for £15 here which is a bargain considering the quality and quantity you receive. Think of it as a nail investment... The only problem you'll have is choosing which shade to wear first!
