Where have the past two years gone? ‘My Life Goals for 2022‘ is a post I’ve been looking forward to writing.
The last two years have been a mass of events that have made so many things in life hectic for me that I didn’t even bother with writing goals for the year because of all the changes. This year is different though and I’m feeling very positive about 2022!
This year’s goals are a mix of fitness, fun and a mix of other things too! Check out my last similar post which is ‘My 2019 Goals’.

Today’s post is about Odylique by Essential Care: An Organic, Fair Trade & Cruelty-Free Brand. Included are the Ultra-Rich Balm, Superfruit Concentrate and Advocado 24 hour replenishing cream. Since it’s been a while, it’s time to share my thoughts on them.
Odylique by Essential Care has a variety of products including skincare and makeup. Check out my review on Odylique lipsticks here.
…I recently got this Lush ‘Comfort Zone’ Shower Bomb in my Lush ‘Glow’ gift box that I got for Christmas in 2021. It has been a while since I last tried anything from Lush, keep reading for the full review.

It wasn’t because I didn’t want to try anything new, but with adjusting to life with lockdowns and that, it just wasn’t something I thought about for a while.
The design kinda reminds me of candy, not sure of the name but I am sure maybe one you guys know right? Anyways it's a rose pink colour and looked like this when I opened the gift box, it was crumbling all over everything, I have to say that was disappointing.
Maybe it was because this was next to other products in the gift box, I don't think this didn't smell like sweet blackcurrant. I drink Ribena daily and have had many blackcurrants, this wasn't that haha.…
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.
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.
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).
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.
Check out the list on their site. It’s far too long to post on here.
The prices start at £6 and are the most expensive item is £22. The highlighter is £6 and the eyeshadow palette is £8.
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.

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.
