While grocery shopping at Wal-Mart i stopped at the beauty aisle (as usual) and spotted some new finds at the Wet n Wild section.
As soon as i seen the Dual Ended Contour stick I thought it looked awfully similar to the NYX one, and for under $5 I had to take it home and test out out! I got the shade Light/Medium
My first impression was the packaging was bulky. Another thing was that the highlight side was not yellow toned like the box led to believe so that was a tad disappointing.
So yesterday I had the chance to try it out and here are my thoughts:
While applying this, the first layer seemed a bit dry but with the warmth of my face it seemed to become creamy.
I also used a BB and a kabuki brush to test which one was a better use and the BB won. The dampness of the BB helped blend away better whereas the brush was hard to blend with.
The contour had a hint of warm undertone and it felt as if it was a bronzer; not a contour. It wasn't too bad in my non expert opinion.
The highlight part wasn't too bad either since it was almost white. I had set it with a yellow toned powder and to my suppose I didn't crease as much as I normally do.
Overall this product wasn't too bad especially for the $4 something i spent on it, I wouldn't know it its a dupe for the NYX one since I didn't purchase it.
I have this product a sold 7. The concept is there and the product was pretty good, the packaging is too bulky though. I think this if you're interested in it, then go for it. It is super affordable and worked well but I can say that I wont be purchasing it since I have no need for it.
Also I spotted palettes from their line which I thought were super cute, but I didn't purchase and those were around $5 something
