Technic makeup review, highlighters, juicy sticks and more!

When I was around the age of 13 I had the biggest obsession with Technic nail varnishes, to the point where every single time I visited my town centre, I had to buy one, so for them to send me some of their most popular products is such an achievement for me and I couldn't not review them!

Be sure to check out Technic on their social media's...

As soon as I saw this this product I knew I would love it, without even touching it you can tell it has a beautiful buttery texture, and not to mention it's a stunning shade!
It is advertised as a bronzing highlighter, which I can imagine looking so pretty on people with fairer skin, but as I have quite tanned skin  this works better for me as a highlighter, and a girl can never have too many aye.

Cream concealing is something that I really want to get into, if I'm honest, I had been put off after really not getting on with the ABH contour kit concealer shade, the product was too hard and impossible to blend so I guess I just assumed they were all like that, which is where the Technic palette comes in.

Like I said, I don't usually use a  cream concealer, but for the sake of wanting to give an honest review, I decided to give it a go, and it was so easy! The product blends like a dream and I didn't find myself just taking off my previous layer of foundation, it looked so pretty after and not at all cakey and grey toned, which is something I worry about when using cream concealer products due  to wearing fake tan.

Before I say anything else, just know, that this product will NOT budge, like literally, this little beauty has the lasting power of spaghetti sauce on a white top...its lit.
I swatched this on my arm and 2 showers later, it was still a tiny bit noticeable, I mean what more can you want? For just over £2 I am blown away by this lipstick and will defiantly be buying some more shades for the summer, they even sound summery...'juicy' ahh!

I will always be honest with my reviews, and with this product, I must say I really couldn't get it to work for me, and it's not  Technics fault, it just happens that the product doesn't suit my skintone as either a blush or highlight; but again, I can see this looking gorgeous on lighter skin tones! The highlight itself is so smooth and soft so it's not a bad product at all, it just didn't work for me how it was suppose to, I will however be keeping this in my theatrical makeup draw as I can see it working perfectly in some of my themed looks, so for again just over £2, i can't complain.

This product is incredible, I've been using it under my foundation to bronze up my skin for the past 2 or so weeks and I've had endless amounts of people tell me I'm 'glowing', this adds radiance to your skin which lord knows, my dry skin needs! I'd never tried a strobe cream before this and must admit I didn't, and still don't, have any idea what it's  used for , but if it works how I use it then it's a win in my books!
This comes in 2 other shades so don't worry if this looks too dark for you, or too light even.

When I first saw this I was genuinely terrified, I'd never seen anything like it and honestly had no idea how to make it work; on one end is a smudger type tool soaked in a cream to liquid pomade and the other is a large chubby spoolie.
I received mine in medium brown and I would say the tone is more ashy and cool than warm, which for most skin types is perfect! I surprisingly found this so simple to use and genuinely liked the wayy brows turned...turnt? out. When I first saw the applicator I low-key expected some serious slugs but that was absolutely not the result!

Technic as a brand are  one to be watched, I personally have known of their products for a few years now but have defiantly seen a rise in popularity this year, which I'm sure will continue as their products can not be faulted. After trying some of these products and then googling their prices I couldn't believe it and already have quite the wishlist!

All prices are an avarge price as technic currently have their own website under construction, but to find some more of their products just have a browse on some of the linked products sites!

Disappointing products!

 

I absolutely love reading posts or watching videos about products that people don't like, with so much products being hyped about at one time it's so hard to pick which ones to spend that hard earned doller  on. My problem is that lot of the time, the bigger youtubers that get the product known about will most likely be affiliated with the companies so will want to sell it to you (of course this isn't always the case), So I 9/10 times will only take the opinions from smaller youtubers and bloggers seriously.

I have combination - oily skin, and these are the products I haven't got on with.

The formula for this foundation most defiantly has changed, I remember being 15/16 when this first came out and absolutely adoring it, it always used to make my skin glow and look so fresh so it's so sad to now see this in a disappointing makeup post but it's just so bad! I re purchased this after going away and forgetting my tan shade foundation last summer, I used it for the whole week but every single day complained about how cakey, sticky and gross my face felt, all I could feel was the foundation; I literally applied it every way possible but every single time I had major cake face...not a good luck.

Now this product I just don't get, well I mean I get the concept and how to use it, but i just don't understand how benefit can have such great brow products and then this... although I do have to say this is the older one, they may have completely revamped the formula when they re designed last year. My first issue with this is that it's sticky, yet doesn't stick, and by that I mean when I apply it to my brow bone it comes off as I'm applying it and comply goes when I set it with a powder;  my other problem is the size of this pencil, it makes it near enough impossible to carve out a good brow shape or even just apply it to a small area if you wanted to!

You're probably thinking that my problem with this product is the brightness, or maybe it's too pigmented....wrong! It is infact the opposite, this blends away into literally nothing, ziltch. I absolutely adore the packaging and the concept of it but I just can't get any payoff from the blush, it just leaves a glossy mark on my face.

Ok so my problem with this isn't how it performs or anything like that, my problem is with how fast it drys out, which yes I know you can buy oils for but for a high end product I really shouldn't have to... after honestly like a month this just become so dry and cakey that it was literally impossible to use yet my NYX one has lasted so much longer for a 1/4 of the price.

Another product which I didn't want to put in this post as it smells incredible but felt like I had to, this is just so so so hyped about yet honestly, unless you're Casper the friendly ghost this probably won't show up on you, and even if it does it will be just a yellowey orange pigment instead of a warm 'coco' bronzer. Now the other shade of this is absolutely fantastic and well worth the money so don't get me wrong on the actual product, it's literally just this shade that I don't understand, and I mean it's not even because I tan or anything because I've tried this on my al natural sheepy toned skin and had the same result...or should I say lack of.

I know it probably goes without saying but I don't mean to offend anyone with this post, if a product works for you then good that's honestly great, but for me personally they haven't and if you have similar skin to mine then my heads up may save you some money!
