Which one do I like better?

Do you also have products that are very different in price but are almost equal in quality? I do! But maybe I do like one better than the other one. I'm talking about the Filmstar bronze and glow from Charlotte Tilbury and The Hoola bronzer from Benefit.

Bronze and glow - Hoola
I want to start by saying I love how pigmented they both are. But the Hoola bronzer is a little bit too pigmented for me. When I take an appropriate amount of the Hoola bronzer on my brush and apply it to my face it go's bright orange for some reason. But on the other hand a big plus side is that it blends really well so that kinda solves that problem. but still, when I put the same amount of the Bronze and glow bronzer on my brush and apply it to my face, that doesn't happen. 
I also think that because the Hoola bronzer has a little bit more of an orange ondertone it is a bronzer I would more likely wear in the summer. While the Bronze and glow bronzer goes with every season in my opinion. I also think that the Bronze and glow bronzer would match more skintones than the Hoola bronzer would. Overall you can say The bronze and glow bronzer from Charlotte Tilbury is my absolute favorite and the Hoola bronzer is a very close runner up.

Can I just start by saying I love this palette so mutch. It's the Vice 4 palette from Urban Decay. It has such a great variety of colors. Some Beautiful and gradiant metallics, very beautiful shimmers and a few matte shades. I can create so many looks with this palette. So I thought I would show you some of my favorite looks.

The first look is a very simple one because I used only two eyeshadows.
First you take a blendingbrush and apply the shade bitter all over you crease. Blend it really well and make sure you blend it a little bit above your crease as well. Then take a regular flat eyeshdowbrush and apply beat all over your lid. You will probably have to apply a couple of layers to get the blue as pigmented as possible. And voila, you're done. This is very simple but oh so beautiful. Perfect for when you're going out at night.

This look is a lot brighter than the one before. This is also a very simple one. They're all really simple ones actually. But simple can also be very beautiful. First you are gonna blend bitter in your crease. Then take 1985 on that same brush and blend it in with bitter in your crease. Then apply fast-ball all over your lid. Then apply underhand in the outer corner of your eye and bring it slighly into the crease. This will create a slight crease-cut effect. After that I did use something that is not from the palette. I used Silver loose pearls from Yves Rocher. This will make your eyes extra sparkly. You don't have to add this but I think it looks very pretty. You don't really see the glitter but it's there.

The last look is again a little bit darker. This time also start by bleding bitter in your crease. I just think it is the best crease/blending shade there is. It matches with every other shade and it's just the perfect transition shade. So you'll probably see thise shade a lot more in the future. Next you apply delete in the outer corner of your eye and work it in the crease and to make the look even more smokey, apply deadbeat also in the outer corners. You can really build the darker shades according to how dark you want your look to be.

Voila, these were the three looks I created for you. Ofcourse you can apply eyeliner if you want to. I never do because I don't like the way it looks on my eyes. But feel free to wing it. My favorite look is the second one because I love how it makes my blue eyes pop. Tell me what your favorite look is and if you would want me to do more posts like this.
