True Crime With Caledonian Kitty

Being the Candle Obsessive that I am, I've somehow managed to turn my house into Candle City lol. I've always adored A/W Candles and I've been ordering all kinds of Candles over the past few weeks and ended up with quite a few of the same scent.

I already had quite a few boxes of candles when I spotted that Yankee Candle had some Beautiful Festive candles on their website and I often buy their candles around this time of year as the scents are so Amazing!

If you follow me on Social Media, you'll have noticed that I have set up a new Instagram Account so I thought I would have a lil Giveaway to help get everyone in the A/W mood, after all, it's that time of the year now for Fluffy Socks, Hot Chocolate, Pumpkin Spiced Lattes etc. 

So, What are the Giveaway Details I hear you ask? Well, I'm giving you the chance to win 3 Gorgeous Scented Yankee Candles in the Scents:

They sound Divine but let me tell you...they smell even more Amazing!

I'm not one to splash out on an Expensive palette if Im not 100% that it's going to tick all the boxes of what I'm looking for and needing to create my desired looks especially one that is aimed at 'Bronzing & Highlighting' but I've struck Gold with this impulse purchase. 

First of all I thought the palette looked beautiful but wanted to check if it was worth the price tag so I checked out a few YouTube reviews and everyone was raving about it and from what I could see and hear, I was in the mood for popping this little beauty in my Shopping Basket & seeing what it could do for me & why it was a Favourite with Celebs, Makeup Artists and Beauty Addicts alike.

You see before you the Stunning 'Bord De Plage - Highlighting & Bronzing Palette'. But let me tell you, this is so much more than a Bronzing & Highlighting palette, you could pretty much create the majority of your look with this Palette. As well as Bronzing & Highlighting, you can also Contour and use the beautiful shades (which blend like a dream) as eyeshadows and they are longlasting.

Whether it's a subtle glow or Intense look that you're going for, this palette takes care of that. If you want something more Dramatic looking you can dampen your brush for a more intense look. The highlighters are Fantastic and you can achieve that 'Dewy/Glowy' look or dampen your brush & really make your cheeks pop. Infact this palette has helped me create cheekbones and sculpt my face, define my jawline. This palette in a Nutshell is Fabulous!

(From Bottom to Top: RIVAGE, CRIQUE, LAGUNA, CORNICHE, GALET, CASINO)

These swatches were taken in the daylight but you can just imagine what they look like as soon as the light hits. As I mentioned before, the pictures don't do these shades justice but trust me they are WOW! They certainly Impress. Easily Blendable, longlasting, perfect for subtle or dramatic looks. 

I created some subtle everyday looks below. I used the palette to subtlely contour & highlight my face and I used 'Crique' & 'Galet' shades for my Eyes. I used the bronzer for my neck. The palette helped me achieve a Natural Dewy look & gave me a nautral looking brown glow like I'd caught a little bit of the sun.
