Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are taking a look
at these Halo Glow Beauty Wands.
So we have blush, we have contour, we have highlight.
I have a few different shades.
We're just gonna try them out for
a quick Monday review for you all.
Now, these have, let me just say about these e.l.f products here.
There have been a few make
up launches recently, and I know we get a
lot of launches, but these, along with a few
others, have made me really excited and kind of
optimistic about future launches of makeup this year.
It's very rarely I see a product shared online.
If I see it on, like, Trend Mood or
something, I'm like, oh, that looks really, really good.
But with these, I was like, oh, you know what?
I really, really want to try these. These look amazing.
I love e.l.f.
I'm a huge fan of their primers, their Vitamin
C primer, Putty Primer, and their, what's it called?
Power Grip Primer. Absolutely amazing.
And their little eyeshadows.
I love a lot of their products.
So I'm very excited to try these today.
We're going to start out with contour.
We're going to do blush and a little bit of highlight.
Please do consider subscribing,
giving this video a thumbs up.
And let's just do it.
Am I low down? I guess, yeah.
So I'm looking very flat.
I have a very flat foundation on.
Let's start with contour.
I do actually have two shades.
I got Fair & Light, which is this one here,
and then Medium & Tan, which is this one.
I love this Fair & Light one because
it is that true gray contour.
And then this Medium & Tan,
I did see the shade and I was a little bit like,
okay, it kind of looks more bronzer to me, for my skin.
So was thinking maybe I can do both.
Two of the blushers.
We have Candlelit and Berry Radiant.
So Candlelit here
is this more pinky,
I guess it's more like rose goldie pink.
And then we have Berry Radiant, which
is that kind of cranberry...
yeah, shade.
And then I got two illuminators.
So we have Rose Quartz here, of course,
and then Champagne Campaign, which is this one.
I thought the price point for
these was really, really good.
And it's like a really good full tube.
Now, there is a particular brand.
Yes, the components are different sizes, but when I mean
that these look full of product, like, filled up all
the way, there is another particular brand that has been
known to kind of like, yes, the tube is bigger,
but in terms of grams of the product it says
it has a lot, but the tube isn't full.
At least these tubes are full.
Okay, let's start with contour.
We're going to do the Fair Light.
I personally don't mind these little tips.
I know that people don't really like them.
Would I choose this tip?
No, probably not.
But it doesn't bother me for use on myself.
In a professional context, it isn't something I would use for
hygiene, but on my own face, we're good.
Okay, I'm just going to...
So this really is, this is
going to be a great contour for those of you who
are very fair and can't really find a contour that isn't
orange, because that is gray.
It's not too bad on me, but I do think I need something different.
So let's try the Medium Tan.
I don't know. And that doesn't really look like contour to me.
That looks more like bronzer.
In terms of how warm it is.
Let me, let me...
I mean that's, it's too warm to be contour.
Nice bronzer, the actual... oh sh*t, I just...
The texture itself is beautiful. It's really nice.
It's super easy to blend.
And look, it does really just become part of the face.
That's really nice, actually.
I really like that as a bronzer.
But it does have this nice...
I don't know what I'm saying.
You know what I'm going to do?
I want to mix the two together.
See, we needed this shade.
But even, actually even colder than that, to be fair.
Let's try that up around the hairline here.
Yeah, it definitely needs to be, again,
a little bit colder than this.
So maybe even a little bit more of that gray would have been a good...
I mean, it's definitely... I mean, look at that tone.
When you use a lot, it's definitely, it's a bronzer.
Texture is beautiful.
I just wouldn't call that
shade contour, but they blend stunningly.
Absolutely stunning.
Yeah, I would like to... my hairline looks
really weird with that bit of hair there.
I would like to fix that
tone because it's not quite,
it's not quite contoury.
Okay, let's go in for the blush.
I'm not going to go too berry with this one because
I just feel like now I have more of the bronzer,
I kind of want to go a little bit pinker.
So we're going to go for Candlelit, which is this one.
Just watching it come out because I
don't want to do a crazy amount.
Let's do just a bit here.
A bit more than that.
Let's just do fingers.
Let's see how it goes.
I can't, I just, I just like
to do everything with a brush.
I have such bad skin at the moment.
I have so many blemishes everywhere.
Not having a good time.
This is, this is really beautiful.
I like the shine.
I like the slight tint of color. It's really, really nice.
Maybe I might try a bit of the darker one on top.
Just think I want a bit more...
I'm just aiming for, like, the highest midpoint of my cheekbone.
And because it's a cream, I'm tapping
a little bit more rather than dragging around or
buffing out like I would with a powder.
I'm actually glad that they released a blusher that's more,
has that shine to it because we get a
lot of cream blush at the moment.
I like cream blush, don't get me wrong, but
it's nice to see something a bit different.
I think that's why I was excited about the launch.
Okay, let's give this highlighter a go.
I'm going to go for...
God, which one do I do?
This almost looks like, the Rose Quartz,
almost looks like my favorite Rare Beauty highlighter.
Let's try Rose Quartz.
I used a lot, a lot.
It's quite nice.
I wish I was wearing a better foundation underneath.
I'm going to try Champagne Campaign on the other side.
Oh, I like this one.
This one's it. This one's nice.
I think the texture suits the shade a bit more in terms of
how it blends in on my skin tone and how it looks.
It looks a bit more... that's really nice, actually.
Actually, that's nice too.
Yeah, I quite like... look at this spot here.
You know what I want to do?
Off camera just very quickly.
I want to take off my foundation because I'm
testing a foundation, and it's not so great.
I want to put this back on, but
on a foundation that I know I like.
So be right back.
Okay, we're back.
I have makeup all in my hair, but...
and I got hot so I had to take off my jacket.
Sso much better with a nice foundation.
So much smoother.
You can see the highlight a lot more.
And I used a really... where's it gone?
Flat brush for everything.
So I did it with the bronzer and really just pushed it.
I found it worked better when
you weren't, like, circling or dragging.
Just really tap, tap, tap, tapping.
A little bit of product.
Build it up slowly, a little bit at a time.
Contour. I keep calling it bronzer, but it is contour.
To me, this shade isn't... I'll... whatever.
Contour, blush and highlight,
and I just tap, tap, tap one by one, slowly.
Took my time.
Actually, it didn't actually take that much time.
Really nice.
I really like them on my skin.
It does... do be warned though, if you have skin texture,
whether that be acne scarring, whether that be maybe you just
have some texture on your skin that day.
Or like me, you have like my
cheeks are a little bit textured.
Sorry, I'm trying to tidy up as I'm doing a video.
I don't know why.
My cheeks are quite textured.
So do be warned that anything with that... what was that?
Anything with this kind of shine and
glow to it can potentially show up.
Do you see like this? It can potentially show up
texture a little bit.
So just be wary how much product you use.
But I really, really like them.
My one complaint, and it's literally the only one,
is, this is a great shade.
I don't know about the darker one,
so I definitely recommend going to watch
other people's reviews on the darker shades.
This isn't a contour shade.
This is most definitely bronzer. I am warm.
I look like I've been in the sun.
You can see up here, it's a little
bit browner where I haven't blended it in properly.
It's not a contour shade.
I would just say that. It will be nice to...
I know e.l.f are capable of making a contour shade because we have this.
All your shades just need... for contour,
just a little bit grayer, a little
bit colder, and we'll be good.
But I would 100% use them again and I
would just keep using that as a bronzer. It's nice.
Okay, well, thank you so much for joining me.
