The streaming series I have included in this post are from Netflix, Disney + and Prime. I have not run out of things to watch..yet on these streaming apps, thankfully! ‘5 Series I Loved Streaming’ so far this year I have watched this year have been so good, I may even watch them again!

Over the past couple of months, I have been finishing series off in record time, as they have been addictive and have been enjoyable to watch. When it comes to series, I am not fussy about what I want to watch but I usually go for fantasy, thriller and horror categories!

My Life Goals for 2022

January 31, 2022 1 Comment

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’.

Lush ‘Comfort Zone’ Shower Bomb Review

January 14, 2022 10 Comments

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.

Design & Scent

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.

What I got for Christmas 2021

January 12, 2022 20 Comments

So before we get into what I got for Christmas 2021, I thought I’d share that we were not sure about our plans for Christmas in 2021, since a lot of my family members are from the older generation. We decided it was best to wait till the summer to give them a visit, hopefully, things will get much better by then.

It sure isn’t easy not seeing my gran etc but it’s for the best for everyone at this time. Anyways, we had a Christmas at home as we have done since the year prior.

I got one present given to me this year and the rest of them are gifts to myself as a little bit of a pick me up. It’s a mixture of fitness and beauty products. I am super happy to do a post like this again, last time I did what I got for the Christmas post was in 2018.

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.

makeup revolution bat light highlighter review — isn’t the highlight just fabulous?

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?
