Upping the glamour with XIP professional

XIP professional

As a self confessed beauty and make up addict, one of the perks of being a beauty blogger is trying new products. And while it’s fun to try new collections from the well known brands you know and love. Sometimes it’s more fun to discover new brands and products that will become firm favourites. Now if you’ve not heard of XIP Professional before, then add them to your list of brands to discover. Because they offer professional and high quality makeup products, that are not only easy to use. But they give you great results too.

I’ve been trying three of products and I have to say I’m really impressed. I love the chic white and gold packaging. But the quality is what’s most impressive. For the price you get outstanding palettes with high pigmentation and the ability to last all day. So here are the three XIP Professional palettes I’ve fallen in love with.

Platinum Passion Eyeshadow £37.00

Now those of you who are regular readers will know that I’m a sucker for a pretty palette. Especially one with as many beautiful and wearable shades as this one. All 12 shadows are highly pigmented and offer a great selection of shades to take you from day to night. Every colour is intensely rich and formulated to feel silky smooth on your lids. Plus they’ve been formulated to absorb excels oil on your lids – hallelujah for us oily lid girls! The colours include:

  • Dark Gold
  • Black
  • Smokey Grey Shimmer
  • Silvery Shimmer
  • Warm Copper
  • Milk Chocolate Brown
  • Rich Chocolate Brown
  • Soft Peach
  • Light Gold
  • Baby Pink
  • Rosy Pink
  • Champagne Shimmer

24 Karat Glow Blissful Bronzer £34.00

I really love a duo palette. Not only do you get two beautiful shades, but it feels like you’re getting two products for the price of one. And this palette is perfect for adding a warm glow at this time of year. On one side you have a lovely matte bronze for contouring and adding warmth to your face. While on the other is a bronze shimmer with golden tones to expertly highlight your cheekbones for a glamorous glow.

Pink Satin Blissful Blusher £34.00

The other duo palette I have is just as beautiful as the bronzing one. This pink tones blush palette is perfect for picking up the complexion at this time of year. The shade on the left is a gorgeous hot pink matte for the apples of your cheeks. While the shade on the right is a gorgeous soft pink shimmer, perfect for highlighting your cheekbones. And for both palettes I’m using the XIP Professional Blusher / Bronzer Brush (£18.95). Which is lovely high quality synthetic brush that is not only cruelty free. But is also the right size and shape for using with the bronzer and blusher palettes.

You can find out more about XIP Professional and their products on their site.
