So I was in my local boots the other day and they FINALLY had the Seventeen new WOW concealer in stock in my shade (fair). So I celebrated by doing their 3 for 2, and bought two more items along with the concealer (as you do, you know?)
What I didn't realise was how well this trio would work together, and how they would make me want to try a new style of makeup... *gulp* NATURAL. I know. I never wear a natural make up look, I am a very all or nothing type of girl.
So here is how I have been using them, and mini reviews/first impressions on each one.

| Swatched, Unblended |
On my first try of the WOW Concealer (£4.99) I must admit I wasn't a fan, I used it instead of my NARS Creamy Concealer over my Estee Lauder Double Wear. I found it way too runny, not enough coverage,.. I then huffed and went back and used my NARS.
The following day I was just running into town - so I decided to use it without foundation. This is when it became a game changer. Somehow without foundation, it just covers and blends beautifully. It is the perfect natural finish, I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a more natural look, or even for simple days, but if you are expecting high coverage or a UD/NARS doupe stay clear. I have heard others compare it to touché éclat (as the packaging is near enough the same) but in all honestly I haven't ever used it - so cannot comment, but it is a lovely finish, and worth picking up.

| Swatched and Blended in using RT Sculpting Brush |
Now the 3 way WOW highlight (£5.99). Oh my goodness. It is like crushed pearls. STUNNING. This is a pale girls dream, but I can see this working on pretty much everyone. Now, this can be used as a primer, mixed in with your foundation, or as a highlight. It works all ways, but I enjoy it most as a highlight.
All you do is pump it onto your hand, and I use it on the top of my cheekbones and up over my eyebrow, along my nose and on my cupids bow. Once it is blended you simply GLOW. In a non glittery way, next time you are in boots I recommending swatching this, I promise you will be admiring your hand all day. This is the best "drugstore" highlight I have found (I count Mary-Lou as Highend) 

The last thing I went for was the Cream Bronzer (£4.99), something I have never tried before (as I am usually scared of bronzers). I am surprised at how much I have loved using this. As it is cream - it is much easier to work with than powder when it comes to blending.. and really has been giving my face some warmth - without making me look orange or dirty.
So here has been my go to look this week with the sun being out. No foundation, just these 3 items blended in with my Real Techniques Sculpting Brush. I will then add some mascara, brows and some lipgloss. Done, less than 5 minutes to do, quick and easy, no fuss and can withstand the heat. What more can a girl ask for over summer?
Oh and I have had people all week saying how incredible my skin is, and how "Lucky I am" yeah, I sure do love people thinking I look like this without any help! Thanks Seventeen!
