Highlighters

Balibody Highlighter Sticks Review

April 10, 2020      8 Comments

Hello Everyone 
Who else loves using highlighter? I know I sure do! I love the glow it gives my skin, it’s the icing on the cake to my makeup routine. So when it comes to anything on my blog I like to be 100% honest about products I have tried regardless if I have bought them myself or been gifted them. These highlighter sticks from Bali Body were kindly sent for me to review.
Bali Body is a new brand to me but they sell a variety of products including suncare, self-tan and skincare. These highlighter sticks are the first cosmetics products they have launched and they come in 3 different shades.

KVD Beauty Alchemist Holographic Highlighter Palette | Review

November 13, 2018      1 Comment

Kat Von D Alchemist Holographic Highlighter Palette
Ever since I bought the Kat Von D 10th anniversary ‘Gold Skool’ a few months back I have been hooked with the highlighters from the brand! I have a few different palettes from the brand new and for me personally, they are my favourites. Today on my blog I will be talking about my Alchemist holographic palette.
The alchemist palette is a unique half diamond palette with the letter ‘A’ embossed on the front of the palette. The design of the ‘A’ was inspired by her antique book collection. Inside the palette, they are 4 different highlighter shades that are holographically inspired.  This palette was 7 years in the making as it was actually developed as one of Kat Von D’s dream products.

Kat Von D Gold Skool Metal Crush Highlighter Review

August 9, 2018      4 Comments

Who else watched Kat Von D’s 10th-anniversary celebration on Instagram? I know I did and my goodness wasn’t it just stunning. To celebrate her brands 10th birthday she brought out a limited edition gold themed 10th-anniversary collection which includes makeup brushes, a highlighter and an eyeshadow palette.
As much as I wanted to buy the whole collection I decided that the sparkly ‘Gold Skool’ highlighter was the one for me to try; I just love highlighters.

Trying out the Makeup Revolution Liquid Highlighter in Unicorn Elixir

May 26, 2018      3 Comments

Hello, Darlings!
I actually can’t believe that have started a youtube channel, I know it sounds silly but it has boosted my confidence so much since starting it. I thought why not give a little demo to show you this product while I’m at it.
Makeup Revolution is a London based makeup company that sell a variety of amazing budget products including eyeshadow palettes, concealer and so much more. The company is cruelty-free and many of the products are gluten-free and vegan-friendly.

 I have never tried liquid highlighters before only ones that are powered pressed into pans so trying this was something totally new for me. I have seen so many high-end liquid highlighters but the price of some of them made me gasp with disbelief so finding a budget-friendly option was very welcome for me.
So what did I choose?
They are 7 different shimmery shades to choose from and boy did I have a hard time which one to choose so I just chose at random and bought ‘Unicorn Elixir’. The formula for these is cruelty-free, vegan and gluten-free.
Ingredients list.
sododecane, calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Caprylyl Dimethicone Ethoxy Glucoside, Polybutene, Hydrogenated Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Mica, Propylparaben, BHT May Contain [+/- CI 77891]

So ‘Unicorn Elixir’ is a magical shimmer and reflective and iridescent lilac. I was super impressed with the formula of this because it’s so darn thick and very pigmented. You don’t need much product for a gorgeous shimmery glow. You can use this as a highlighter or you could mix it with your foundation for a dewy glow. I would even say you could use it on your body for a sparkly look.
The packaging is very simple and reminds me of a lot of serum bottles as it has a droplet applicator. I love the packaging as its got a lovely shine to it and to me has some luxury product vibes to it. They are a choice of 7 other highlights which are called as follows
Liquid highlighters available
Starlight. Champagne.  Luminous gold. Lustre gold. Rose gold and Bronze gold
makeup revolution liquid highlighter review and swatches
 As you can see by the swatch below which is only one large drop of the product is that you don’t need much to get a gorgeous pigmented shimmer.  I suggest putting a small amount of product on the back of your hand ( one or two drops ) and apply the highlighter to places desired with your makeup brushes of choice. I love using Collection contour brush and my Primark buffing brush with this liquid highlighter.
How much is the highlighter?
Well, I was surprised that it only cost £6 which is a good price for a product that works so well and it so pigmented.
Where can I buy it?
It is available on the makeup revolution website and also in Superdrug stores.

 My thoughts
I love this highlighter and I have definitely been won over by using a liquid highlighter. I would even say that this is a multi-use product as you can use it as a highlighter, mix with foundation for a luminous dewy glow or even use on your body for a sparkly shimmer; what’s not to love?
I like to use this on my cheekbones, cupids bow and to highlight my nose too. I think its a very long-lasting product and works really well the urban decay all nighter makeup setting spray for the long-lasting finish; especially if you’re going to a party.
I can’t reiterate enough that a little bit of this product goes a long way, its like magic how well this product works with even a drop, you could even say its magical. It can be a little tricky to use at first but as I said above put it on your hand first and apply with makeup brush of choice to the area desired.
Even though I love this product a lot I am not keen on the smell of it but it works so well that I am not bothered by that at all.
Check out my youtube video of me trying on makeup revolutions liquid highlighter in Unicron elixir which a switch too. Would appreciate a subscribe too 💜

Who else has done a lot of lockdown DIY? I've painted my coffee table, bookcase, put artwork in my living room and now I'm tempted to do more 😂

If you have seen my stories then you will know I got gifted some fabulous chocolates from @doisyanddam 🌱 Not only are their products 70% cocoa but also palm oil-free and vegan.

When it comes to chocolate I'm not usually a fan of dark chocolate but these taste smooth and are not butter! My favourite is the ‘Nuttercups’ 🥜

Have you tried Doisy & Dam before? 🌱

I was kindly sent this 500mg CBD oil by @wethriveofficial . I got it in the flavour peppermint which is lovely. I find that CBD helps keep me calmer and settle me for bed. They have different strengths and flavours available. 

These CBD Oils from Thrive are THC free and Vegan friendly. For more info check out their website.

First book of 2021 read. My mum gifted me a few S First book of 2021 read. 
My mum gifted me a few Stephen King books a couple of years ago as she knows I love thriller/horror films.

I lost this book half way through reading it but recently found it again and finished it.

If you expect it to be like the film you will be kinda right but in some parts of the book, it kinda made me put it down for a few seconds because of gory details that make the film seem more soft. Seriously you will know what I mean when you get to the axe part omg 😵

I’m happy that this is the first book of the year I have completed! It was brilliant and I’m looking forward to reading more from Stephen King.
