Collection Contour Kit & Speedy Highlight

Welcome back to my blog and today I am looking at Collections contour kit and speedy highlighter. 
The contour kits' retail price is £4.19 however you will be able to find deals in both Superdrug and Boots. So far, Superdrug is much cheaper only costing you £2.79 for the product whilst in boots it cost £3.99. But, you get more points from buying at boots, so which deal is better for you? As for the speedy highlighter, it retails at £3,99 and can be purchased at superdrug for only £2.66. 

The packaging of the contour kit is basic. It is black cased plastic that had two clear windows which showcase the highlighting colour and the contour colour with the brand name above it and the products name below it. For this sort of product, I don't particularly mind that it is very standard which is fine because for the price, this is well worth the money. The Charlotte Tilbury in comparison cost £49 which has a rose gold packaging and holds imprinted powder in them. The collection contour kit also holds a small rectangular shaped mirror inside the top part of the packaging. Some people might think that the mirror is too small to even be able to use and therefore might disregard it however, the knowledge of knowing that you have a mirror is more than enough just in case, you are out and about and you need to touch up on your makeup. Its's better to have a small mirror than no mirror at all, right? 

The speedy highlight is in stick form and has been packaged by the same shade of the highlight colour which I do like. It had a silver barrel at the bottom which you twist and I personally think that this highlight has a lot of product. Some people don't like stick form highlights however its just so much easier to use and carry. You can either apply it directly, use your finger or a brush, the choice is yours to make.

Swatches:
Based on first impressions alone, I am really impressed with the swatches of each colour, the contour kit has a very nice, soothing texture, which glides on easily and the highlight has a much thinner texture which allows the product to have a slight sheen to it. 

I personally am really impressed with these products based on price and swatches. I cannot wait to use these and share images with you. Be on the look out for them and check out my instagram for quick scoops of new products I try!
