My thoughts on the REVOLUTION X DC Batman Palette & Highlighter

November 25, 2021 4 Comments

If you follow my blog you may have seen my November beauty haul in which I talk about my returning love for beauty products after a crazy 2020, don’t you all agree? In October I got the REVOLUTION X DC Batman Palette & Highlighter and I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you about them both! I even managed to make a reel with these. Wooo.

The highlighter and eyeshadow palette is only a small part of the Revolution DC collection. They have different products such as eyeshadow palettes, lipgloss and even makeup brushes from characters such as Batman, the Joker and of course Harley Quinn.

The DC collection is rather large so instead of buying everything I decided to get two products that stood out for me. The ones which stood out to me were; ‘I am the Batman’ eyeshadow palette and the ‘Bat Light’ Highlighter. Revolution Beauty is a cruelty-free, vegan and affordable brand.

Batman X Makeup Revolution Bat Light Highlighter

This was the first item I chose, I chose it because it’s embossed with the batman logo…Oh dear, I can’t hold it in, ‘I am the Batman’ sorry lol, old habits after watching batman cartoons as a kid. The highlighter is pressed gold in colour, which is just stunning. I would say it has a little bit of sparkle to it but nothing overboard.

Ingredients

Mica, Talc, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil, Huile Minerale), Magnesium Stearate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polybutene, Polyethylene, Dimethicone, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Tin Oxide, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77491 (Iron Oxides).

Batman X Makeup Revolution I am the Batman Eyeshadow Palette

Between both of the batman eyeshadow palettes, this one stood out for me much more. I love that it has a mix of mattes and shimmers to work with. They compliment each other perfectly. I think the matte nudes and shimmers work perfectly with the batman theme.

The palette has 9 hero worthy shades

Batman – Gold Shimmer
Dark – A riche matte nude
City – The iconic Batman yellow
Fear – Batman matte black
Hero- Warm shimmery nude
Gotham – Matte light nude
Vegenance-Matte deep brown
Mr Wayne – Warm matte nude
Night – Shimmery brown

Ingredients

Check out the list on their site. It’s far too long to post on here.

How much are they?

The prices start at £6 and are the most expensive item is £22. The highlighter is £6 and the eyeshadow palette is £8.

My Thoughts

For the price point, I think they are both wonderful. The eyeshadow palette creates some stunning looks with little effort, the colours stand out and it’s stunning. As for the highlighter, that is just gorgeous too, creating beautiful shimmers in different light and settings, I am very glad I chose both of these.

Now I am not going to say they are perfect because they are not. First point the names of the shades are on a plastic sheet, rather than on the palette itself. Another point I would say is they both are very crumbly, the designs on the palette and highlighter disappear very quickly.

Have you tried anything from the DC Makeup Revolution Collection?

My Beauty Buys In November 2021

November 19, 2021 9 Comments

I have to admit in 2020 and the start of 2021, I did not buy many beauty products at all. I think the only things I bought in that period was SPF creams and lip balms, but apart from that NOTHING. The C-word did affect that and many other parts of my life too. Let us bring on the positives and see My Beauty Buys In November 2021

Makeup is still quite low on my priority list but I still enjoy wearing it occasionally. The main buys I have enjoyed getting are skincare products because, boy my skin needs some TLC in the colder months, brrr! My most bought things at the moment are Korean skincare and vibrant makeup.

The Best Classic Red Lipsticks

January 29, 2021 19 Comments

For me, red lipstick is such a classic and ‘go well’ with any style accessory. Whether its matte, satin or gloss, red works wonderfully with any of these products.

I only started wearing classic red lipsticks in my mid-twenties as I never found one that suited me. Now I have reached thirty, I know which retro lipsticks I love after a lot of searching. I like to switch them up whenever I feel like I want a change.

Whenever I think of classic red lipsticks, people who come to mind for me has to be Marilyn Monroe, Rhianna, Gwen Stefani and Tim Curry.

Check out the post to see which classic reds made it on my list..

My Favourite Lip Glosses | 2020

November 11, 2020 2 Comments

ℌ𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔬 𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔶𝔬𝔫𝔢

2020 has been one heck of a rollercoaster, hasn’t it? I would say this is the year where I have barely worn any lip products never mind makeup. I would say the reasons for that is because of being a mix of not being bothered or no place to go because of lockdown and many restrictions and the stress of it all. Anyways onto the topic of this post, Lipglosses! I never used to like wearing them because they either were too sticky or come off after 5 minutes but now I wear them more than lipsticks.

As you can see by my selection they are mostly rose-tinted with a hint of sparkle and the reason for that is that I think they suit me so well. They are versatile for the makeup I like to wear

Carry on reading to find out more on my favourite lip glosses…

My most used Lipsticks so far this year | 2020

September 30, 2020 16 Comments

Hello everyone!

2020 has definitely been one of those years I am sure many of us will remember for a long time! It’s not been anything like we are used to and getting used to new norms is defiantly not easy and takes so time to get adjusted too as well.

One thing for sure is that i don’t wear lip products as much as I used to because of daily wearing face masks leaves the inside of my masks looking like a makeup removing wipe leaving my lipstick all over my mouth area which can be a right laugh if you’re going to a restaurant for example LOL.

Anyways here are the lipsticks I used so much they ended up being in my handbag!
