Soap & Glory Kick Ass Instant Retouch Powder | Beauty

You may have read my previous Soap & Glory post on the Archery Pencil where I admitted that I've never really used that much Soap & Glory stuff before but was super keen to try out more. The other week, I was running low on my Rimmel Stay Matte powder and I thought instead of repurchasing like I have done for literally years why not try out a new powder. I was having a look around on some blogs and Kick Ass seemed to have a lot of great reviews so I just had to buy it. 

I'm pretty fortunate in the sense I don't have very oily skin, it's pretty average but leans to more dry skin than oily. That being said, I do like to make sure I use a powder just to set everything and to get rid of any shine that does naturally make an appearance. I'm currently using Sleek Makeup's CC Cream and adore it, it really evens everything out but it is quite a dewy finish which is why I needed something like this powder. The thing I liked about this powder is that it is translucent which is pretty handy because I don't need anything to add more colour to my face. 

Kick Ass Instant Retouch powder claims to have Superblur  Spheres and 3D Camouflage and I will say that it does have a blurring effect on my skin around some of the pores. It's an incredibly lightweight formula and does the job really well. I 'd say it is quite long lasting but I would definitely reapply before going out in the evening as I would with any of my make up. I make sure I use this powder across my t-zone down my nose and a little on my cheeks as I have quite bad scarring there so anything to make it a little better. I also dab it a little on my chin, to be honest I use quite a big fluffy brush to apply this powder but if you are looking to put it around your eyes or in very localised areas I would definitely say use a smaller brush. 

I kinda love the detail on the powder, anything that has stars embossed on it is something I can love. I will say because there is quite a gap between the powder and the top of the lid and I found that it is a little delicate, you can see that part of the "n" has fallen off and it was only in my bag. 

Really love this Kick Ass powder, it definitely lives up to it's name. 

Have you tried this product?

Soap & Glory Archery | Beauty

Before you say it, I know I am late to the party again, really I don't know how or why I have never tried this brow product before, but now I have, there is no going back.  

Being naturally blonde it means I have very fair eyebrows, I struggle to find colours that will match my natural hair colour. I am not a fan of over drawn eyebrows, it just doesn't suit me and I hate it if my eyebrows end up looking much darker than my hair. I normally use a Rimmel eyebrow pencil which is pretty basic, does the job but nothing to write a post about really. 

I haven't tried that many Soap & Glory product before and when I recently forgot my make up bag I thought I would try something out from this brand. I really wanted to try out the Solar Powder as I know that everyone has raved about it but it was sold out so instead I thought I would give Archery a go in Blondeshell. I use to get my eyebrows threaded but I've recently just started getting them waxed and I am loving the shape of them now. The girl who does them does all of my waxing so I knew she would do a good job anyway but I was seriously impressed when she did do them, but anyway I digress. 

At first I was really impressed with the spooley at the end of the Archery pencil, because it is like a mascara brush so it really picks up and combs my eyebrows really nicely into shape. The colour match was pretty perfect for me actually, definitely not too dark at all. I also like that it is a very fine pencil so you can create a very natural shape and fill in specific areas with ease. I also really love that you don't need a sharpener, just a quick twist and you're done. 

It cost £8 which I think is pretty great considering the colour match and the brush at the end. It's very slim which means that it takes up hardly any room in my make up bag.
