How is it February already? A new month means a sparkling new Beauty Box from my current faves - Cohorted! I was so excited to see two palettes included in this months luxury beauty picks, with a combined box value of £102 for February (pretty amazing, right?).
Read on to find out what I think of each product, and which pick has become my latest cosmetic obsession!
As an avid lover of the infamous Eyeshadow Primer Potion by UD back in the day, I had pretty high hopes for the Makeup Base version when I noticed it was included in this months box! I would swear by the product before applying any type of eye make-up to ensure that it lasted and remained crease-free, and it did just the job!
As someone who suffers with quite noticeable pores in the T-Zone, I was intrigued to give this Makeup Base a go. It had quite a watery consistency at first, but I found that you do need to give the tube a little shake before use to distribute the product evenly as a cream formula. Once dotted onto the skin it gives a white 'cast', however once it's well blended into the skin this becomes completely unnoticeable. I found that after applying this product as a base, that my complexion looked immediately smoother, those unsightly pores had vanished, and my foundation applied like a dream on top of it with a soft-focus finish!
A super pretty coral pink nail varnish with a high sheen finish. What's not to love? Perfect for the upcoming summer months when berry colours are out, and brights are in. The KURE BAZAAR brand focuses on creating eco-friendly products made up of natural ingredients, meaning they are free of the harmful substances usually found in nail lacquers.
The formula is incredibly easy to work with and has quite a quick drying time (which is always a bonus, a girl is helpless when waiting for nail polish to dry!) Definitely apply two coats for the ultimate salon-worthy finish.
Four magnetic and removable eye-shadows housed in a freematic mini compact with a sponge tip and brush applicator. The pigmentation of these shadows is incredible, each one super blendable with minuscule glitter particles running through three shades.
A terracotta matte makes up the final colour which would make a perfect transition shade for a bronze smokey eye. The lightest hue doubles up as a gorgeous inner tear-duct highlight for a subtle hint of sparkle. The sleek compact makes it travel friendly too, so it's perfect for on the go!
When I first opened this product, all of my contour dreams immediately came true. As someone with Snow White skin (I'm talking nearly porcelain white), trying to find a holy grail contour product that isn't orange or looks 'muddy' once applied is near enough impossible.
This grey-toned contour is ideal and mimics the natural shadows of the face as it has minimal warmth to the colour. Along with being so easy to blend, it's definitely my new go-to! The palette also features a super gorgeous gel-creme blush (my favoured choice over powder blush!) and a cream highlighter for a luminous golden sheen. Compacted into an again travel-sized palette with a handy mirror for touch-ups!

"Total impact lipstick that gives off a highly pigmented sheer and creamy finish. The lightweight non-sticky formula glides on effortlessly providing medium to full coverage."
The 'click' mechanism of this lipstick is SO handy, ensuring that the product stays completely secure and closed when not in use (perfect if you're a little clumsy like me!) Along with being a super bright hue, the hydrating formula makes this product a winner if you ask me!
What do you think of this months beauty picks from Cohorted? Overall I'm super impressed with the range of cosmetic products included and look forward to incorporating them in my daily make-up routine!
