Tea Talk Tuesday | Post #64 Bye Bye Beautiful

Makeup products come and go - it's an inevitable fact. Although makeup lines have core product lines they also have seasonal collections and limited edition items that disappear pretty quickly if you don't scoop them up while you can. I never get too upset about losing out on limited edition/ seasonal makeup pieces because I know how that whole show runs and if I didn't pick it up while it was available then that's just my loss. Core products in makeup lines change sometimes too. Products become outdated and formulas are changed over time. Deep down I know most makeup products won't be around forever although there are quite a few brands with products that have really stood the test of time. Never the less I feel like I was blindsided when Sephora Collection discontinued my favorite contour color. 

Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo 1 | Review

Although I've been on my contour game since before contouring was a thing it hasn't stopped me from taking full advantage of all of the new contour products that brands have been coming out with lately. Tons of creams and powders in shades of matte brown, matte highlights, and shimmering highlights as far as the eye can see. It's really a glorious sight and apparently from what I've been really noticing it's been a slept on art for the general public. Sure, contouring might not be for everyone but, it really can make a huge difference. You can make it has soft or as sharp as you would like so really I feel like there is a little something in it for everyone when it comes to contouring but that's just my opinion. 

The Drugstore Cream Contour

I love a good cream contour. I think that creams blend effortlessly and give you a very natural blended look. Using creams is also ideal for so many different skin types since creams tend to work better on mature skin, makes sure dry skin doesn't look cakey, and sticks better to oily skin. Contour palettes can be a little pricey though and not everyone has the means to add that extra step into their routine. For the babes on a budget who don't want to dish out too much money on high-end cream contour products I have a cheap and easy alternative for you all; cream concealer sticks! It might be pretty obvious but who really knows because sometimes I think this idea can be a little overlooked. Before I had two pennies to rub together (which still is basically the case) and before contouring had become the power play that it is today I was using L'Oreal cream concealer sticks to slim down my chin and give dimension to my face.
