Nip + Fab Shimmer Leg Fix | Review

I can't believe we're in June, where has this year gone?! Meaning that we're already in Summer, even if the weather is only just realising it... But that also means that it's that little bit less acceptable to wear tights. I'll be honest, I'm not leg confident as I don't have Taylor Swifts $40 million legs, so I tend to wear skin coloured tights to hide any imperfections, or lack of tan I may have.

But let's be honest, we all get leg envy and when I get leg envy it is sometimes to those who have thinner legs than me, but it's also to those who have those shiny hairless legs as mine look so boring in comparasion, even when I've used a normal moisturiser and fake tan over the top! They just haven't got that gorgeous glow that I have always longed for.

That's until now, Nip + Fab's Shimmer Leg Fix does exactly what it says on the tin, it's a moisturiser for your legs which also has added shimmer. So not only does it moisturise your legs, the added shimmer helps you achieve that gorgeous glow! It is basically like liquid gold for your legs. However if you're not a fan of shimmer, then don't worry as the shimmer isn't noticeable once it's been rubbed in.

I found that my skin absorbs the formula quickly, not leaving any sticky residue behind and leaving my legs feeling so silky soft. Even hours after application my legs still feel touchable-y smooth and definitely don't look dull any more!

The only problem I have with this product is the scent, I'm really, really not a fan of ginger, I don't like the smell or taste (lucky I don't have to eat this...) but the scent doesn't put me off using the product, as it's ever so subtle, it doesn't linger and you can only smell it if you try hard enough. So if it's the ginger smell you're after I recommend a stronger smelling product.

Overall this is definitely the most perfect leg prep for summer, if you're planning on having your legs out in summer then I definitely suggest you try this out for yourself!

Witch Skincare | Review

I've been a massive fan of Witch for years now, I was first introduced to them roughly 5 or 6 years ago as I'd been complaining about having horrific breakouts to a friend of mine, so they recommended that I try them out because their products contain witch hazel which is well know for fighting blemishes. I honestly haven't looked back since, I've tried other brands but nothing has come close.

Witch Blemish Stick | £2.59 Boots

I have re-bought this little stick countless number of times now, it was one of the first products I bought from Witch! You know when a spot hasn't quite developed but it's so...angry, and it irritates the skin and becomes quite painful because of that? Well I can't recommend this more! It does tingle which makes it very tempting to itch at, but it will help the spot go down quicker. 

Witch Concealer | £3.79 Boots

This is another product I've bought a few times before. It's quite a strong concealer and helps reduce the apperance of spots rather well! I tend to use it twice, once before my foundation and once afterwards. I do this as the concealer has ingredients that help fight spots as well as hiding up the redness, it'd be a waste if it was just applied on top of foundation like I usually do! I would never use this concealer for anything other than a spot though, because it's a spot fighting product it is quite drying to the skin, not something you want to be using for your under eyes.

Witch Cleansing and Toning Wipes | £2.99 Superdrug

I used to use make up removing wipes daily, but after discovering that they can be bad for your skin if not washed off properly I started to use micellar water. But let's be honest, when you've gone for a night out and you get home, us girls will still have skincare in the back of our minds and wipes are the quickest and easiest thing for us when we're being lazy and just want to get into bed. They remove make up easily, mascara takes a bit longer to get off but I think that's the case for most make up removers. These are perfect to combat your spots whilst removing your make up, especially if you're in a rush, having a lazy day, or even travelling. 

Witch Overnight Clearing Serum | £5.99 Boots

As I mentioned earlier on, spot fighting products are usually quite drying for the skin, but not this one. Not only does this minimise blemishes, reduce redness and prevent future breakouts, it also leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft from the added Vitamin B3. My skin has been alright lately so I can't comment on the blemish reducing side of things yet (touch wood), but maybe this is why I haven't had any unwanted spots - who knows! Either way, my skin absorbs the serum pretty fast and feels so incredibly soft when I've woken up even from the first use.

Witch Hazel Bursting Beads Face Wash | £3.99 Superdrug

I've used face washes by other spot fighting brands and I haven't liked them to say the least. They tend to make my skin feel dry, tight and just really horrible. But desperate times call for desperate measures and all that! So I try to avoid them unless my skin has gotten bad. But this one actually leaves my skin feeling refreshed and soft which is such a nice feeling! Making it perfect for everyday use.

Vidal Sassoon Infra Radiance Straightener | Review

As a person with un-naturally blonde hair I tend to shy away from using heat styling tools on my hair, and when I do, I must use all the heat defence that I possibly could to protect my hair! But Vidal Sassoon's Infra Radiance technology helps deliver the heat more evenly, keeping the natural moisture balance of your hair.

I've been using these straighteners roughly 3-4 times a week over the past month, a piece of me inside was like 'no Emma don't use them this much, what you doing, you never used your old straighteners this much, stop!!!' but I proceeded to use them anyway, and my hair honestly feels no different to usual! Admittedly I recently had a hair cut which has gotten rid of most my split ends but that was at the beginning of April and my hair feels (almost) as good as when I first left the Salon!

The very first thing I noticed when I begun using these straighteners was that they heat up quickly, I could turn them on and be using them within a minute! I've never really been a snob when it comes to my hair straighteners and I've always gone for Remington's over GHD's, but as much as I've loved them, they did take a while to heat up.

Another feature I am SO pleased about is the auto shut off! I am literally the clumsiest person EVER. My boyfriend can vouch there for me, as he is adamant that I tried to kill him when he noticed I left my straighteners turned on at his once... And I know I'm not the only one who's left their straighteners switched on at least once! But I dread to think what could happen if they hadn't of been found.

Overall I am super happy with these straighteners, I no longer dread touching my hair and my family's life's are no longer at risk from my clumsiness... Have you tried anything from Vidal Sassoon? You can find the rest of their Infra Radiance range here.

MeMeMe Cosmetics Lip Glide | Review & Swatches

As much as I love make up, I notoriously always forget, or leave out my lips. I have quite thin lips so I tend to shy away from making them stand out by sticking to neutral/nude colours. And trust me, I have tried to do that whole, lip liner-Kylie Jenner thing, but I felt that I looked ridiculous...

Rich Truffle, Winter Berry & English Rose (no lip liners used)

Rich Truffle - a very neutral/nude colour, reminds me of MAC Velvet Teddy... Called it! Either way those 90's brown lip colours are so gorgeous.
Winter Berry - a deep plum colour, perfect for the winter months (but I'm going to wear it in Summer anyway)
English Rose - a cute, girly, light-pink colour.

But MeMeMe have turned that around for me, I always just assumed that I wouldn't suit bolder colours because I didn't suit one shade of red lipstick that I tried 5 years ago. But I have honestly fallen in love with their Lip Glides, especially in the shade 'Winter Berry', after initially thinking that 'Rich Truffle' would have been my favourite.

The pigmentation of each of the Lip Glides are amazing, you don't need much more than one coat over your lips to make a difference. One thing I have really noticed is the amazing staying power, especially with Winter Berry, I tend to wear it with a lip liner and what I find with a similar colours from another brand is they'll fade leaving behind just the lip liner and looking rather strange. But the Lip Glides have just as good staying power as a lip liner.

The formula is really creamy, and isn't drying on the lips either, they simply glide over your lips easily, meaning it doesn't matter how dry your lips are. Also, because of the pencil shape of the Lip Glides it's much easier to be precise than it is with a normal lipstick. Lastly, the size of the glides are perfect! I've had my trust Winter Berry sitting in one of the pockets in my hand bag ready for the odd top up during the day.

I honestly have never loved a lip product this much before, there are two shades I haven't gotten which are Deep Scarlet and Playful Peach - but I plan to add those to my collection soon and hope there may be some new shades released in the future! But for now you can see the rest of the range here.

Brand Focus: Seventeen

Okay so I'm going to start on a personal note - I have finalllllllllly finished my last assignment for this year at University, so blogging will be back on track from now on! Yay! To get back on track I'm going to introduce you to a brand I think is highly under-rated which is Boots' own brand, Seventeen.

Stay Pout Lipsticks, Showmance and Rule Breaker | £4.49
Showmance is a light, coral-y, orange colour which is a perfect for the up-coming Summer months! And Rule Breaker is a red-y plum colour, a lip shade I've recently discovered I love. I always avoided colour in my lips and stuck to nudes because I have small lips, but since trying a plum shade I'm in love and I can't get enough!

CC Cream w/ SPF 25 | £6.99
I've been reaching out for this a lot lately, with the really hot weather that we've been having the high SPF is perfect! It glides on to the skin easily, sitting well and leaves a lovely radiant glow.

Wow! Tan Liquid Glow | £5.99
I would describe this as a highlighting bronzer, but it is really quite a light shade, I don't think I would ever use this for contouring. However it is perfect for mixing into foundation, it gives a lovely glow to your skin.

Instant Glow Bronzing Rocks | £4.99
Firstly for this product I have to comment about just how gorgeous the rocks are, one is this stunning pale pinky/nude colour which I adore and the other is this lovely bronze shade, which looks like a metallic bronzer. Both the colours help achieve a more natural glow, than just the one on it's own.

Seventeen Gel Colour | £3.99
The colour of the nail varnish I received is stunning, I love a green nail, it reminds me of summer and festivals... I really can't wait for festival season! It's really easy to apply, and it leaves a super shiny finish to my nails once it's dried.

Benefit Hoola vs W7 Honolulu

Most of the time that W7 have featured on my blog, I have presented you with a dupe of a very popular, yet more expensive product. Today is no different as W7's Honolulu* is a bronzing powder that is extremely similar to Benefit's Hoola, a bronzing powder which we all know and love (I've even bought myself a new one as my old one's looking a bit scummy #bloggerproblems).

Honolulu left, Hoola right.

So what makes these powders so similar? They are both matte brown, with Honolulu being only slightly darker than Hoola. Both are also well pigmented, but in this case I would say that Honolulu is that bit more pigmented. However one of the things I love about Hoola is that it's so build-able, meaning I can go for a simple day-to-day bronze or a more dramatic look and it doesn't matter if I've been heavy handed, whereas with Honolulu all you need it a light sweep. But I've owned and used Hoola a lot longer so my views may be bias, I was still pleasantly surprised at the quality of Honolulu and these differences aren't at all noticeable as you can see from the swatches, it's a matter of preference.

The last W7 dupe I wrote about was their Absolute Lashes mascara, where the packaging was almost identical to Benefit's They're Real mascara. However they've gone for their own style with Honolulu, the packaging looks quite cute and Hawaiian like the name suggests. But I have to say that Hoola has much more practical packaging with the lid being attached plus having a mirror (mirrors always win brownie points in my books). Both also come with brushes that fit inside the boxes reducing the risk of losing them. Although Honolulu's brush feels softer than Hoolas, it tends to flick excess powder making my face look dirty - which isn't a good look on anyone.

Last but not least is the price tag, you can pick up Honolulu at around a fiver when Hoola costs around £23.50 - that's almost 5 times more expensive! With the quality being so similar, I think Honolulu wins with the price as the practical packaging isn't much to give up. Out of all the dupes I have tried this has got to be the best one that matches with regards to quality, so it is definitely worth a try!

Have you tried any of the W7 dupe products?

Renting Nail Varnishes? (plus one month free!)

I don't know about you guys, but I've accidentally ended up with a massive nail varnish collection. It hasn't been intentional, but I just love being able to have the choice of painting my nails (almost) any colour I want them to be! I'm also extremely fickle when it comes to choosing, one week I'll really like one colour, then the following week I will be on to another...

So what about renting nail varnishes instead of buying? I've never thought about the concept before, but now I have it actually makes a lot of sense. You don't have to worry about storing them or throwing old still-kinda-full ones that have gone gloopy and you're not stuck with the same old colours. Coloristiq* are the first in the UK to offer nail varnish renting for just £14.49 per month! They work in a similar way to LoveFilm DVD rentals, you simply put the shades you want to try into your wishlist, then they send you 3 available shades for you to use for the month, then when you're done you post them back - it's as simple as that! They rent nail varnish brands like O.P.I, Essie and China Glaze - which can cost around £8 a colour when bought new, so for the same price you can have 3 different shades to switch between! What is there too lose?!

If this sounds like something you would like to try then today's your lucky day - Coloristiq have given my readers the chance to get their second month free. After registration simply email info@coloristiq.com using the code SHIMMERS1 and then they'll do the rest for you!

Are you for or against nail varnish renting? Let me know in the comments!

Review of: Sunkissed Self-Tan Mousse

Don't get me wrong, I love fake tanning, however I am quite lazy when it comes to actually applying the tan - especially in the winter months. And when I do actually fake tan, I only apply it to what I like to call 'the essential areas' that people are going to see... But spring is here and it's time to be bronzed again, real or not!

Like most girls I have tried my fair share of fake tans, from drugstore to high-end, none of which I really was too impressed with so I decided to try out the Sunkissed Self-Tan Mousse* in the medium shade which is just £4.99!! A lot cheaper than most the fake tans I've dished out on, but it's about quality not the price tag, but you will only find that out through trial and error (unfortunately).

So I did the normal things you need to do before tanning - exfoliate, shave, etc... Then once I had dried off it was time to try it out! Application was simple, shake it up, pump it out, apply and repeat. The formula went on smoothly and left no streaks...that's excluding me forgetting to do in-between my fingers... I'll never learn!

One of my favourite things has to be the smell, yep you heard me right the smell! No more cat biscuits, HALLEUJAH. It's quite coconutty, and I looooove coconuts so that got this product a lot of points in my book. Normally I get some comment about smelling funny from my boyfriend but nope nothing!!

I left the tanning lotion on over night and had a shower first thing when I woke up the following morning and I was genuinely really happy with the results (still minus the pesky bits inbetween my fingers), it had made such a difference to my skin yet still remained looking natural as well as being even - something I find hard in fake tanning!

Overall I was actually really pleased with this product which I honestly cannot believe by it's price tag! Never judge a product by it's price tag eh... What's your favourite fake tanner?

*Updated, this is currently in Primark for £2.90!!*

Makeup Revolution: Iconic Pro 1 Palette

Don't we all love a good dupe? Here in the UK it's so hard to get your hands on the Lorac Pro Palette. But, hope is not lost as Makeup Revolution have brought out their new Iconic Pro 1 Palette*, which is so much easier to get your hands on and it costs a lot less. Win, win right?!

Top L-R: Ghost, Luna, Must, Enigma, Fade, Drama, Afflicted, Pitch

Bottom L-R: Need, Dawn, Getter, Breathe, Too Grey, Stage, Addicted, Player

If I'm honest, the very first thing I noticed about this palette is the packaging! I own quite a few Makeup Rev palettes and they are all black with gold writing and have a big mirror inside. But there's something different about this palette... It's a matte black instead of their usual glossy black, it's a very small and simple change but I adore it all the same! You cannot go wrong with matte (unless you spill foundation on it...). 

Another thing from this palette I'm genuinely really excited about is the new brush, I have never liked those stupid spongey foamy things in any drugstore eye shadow palettes. I have a hard time blending eye shadow as it is, why make it harder with weird spongey things? The brush has the same style as their other brushes, but this brush isn't sold separately, you can only get it from either of the Iconic Pro Palettes. They've name the brush "PRO 1989 Double-ended Eyeshadow Brush", like the name suggests it is a double ended eye shadow brush, with one side being quite flat, which is really useful for application then the other side is quite rounded and fluffy making it perfect for blending. I really hope they use this brush or something similar for future palettes, as I would happily say goodbye to those spongey brushes!

Anyway, on to the actual eye shadows (finally!) there are 8 stunning matte shades and 8 pretty shimmery shades to use. I own quite a few eye shadow palettes, it's borderline obsession... But this is one of the very few eye shadow palettes I own where I like and would happily use every single shade! My favourite shades have to be Fade, Need and Dawn, they're perfect for a cute everyday look. Also, the pigmentation of the palette is very build-able, so you can work a nice subtle everyday shimmer or go in for the more bolder colours and get creative with your eyes. I was also pleasantly surprised at all of the matte shades. I was a little scared they might be a bit chalky but Makeup Rev proved me wrong as they are so pigmented for matte shades - even the white! 

I think I may have to go get the Iconic Pro 2 now as well, as the shades in that palette are equally as stunning! Which palette do you prefer, Iconic Pro 1 or 2?

Review of: W7 Gelly Sandwich*

W7 Cosmetics are fast becoming a favourite brand of mine, it's hard to find a makeup company who have both really good prices and quality! They really are the best of both worlds and I was so excited to try this out.

I think I may have mentioned this before in past posts, but I get my nails done at a nail bar as I cannot paint my nails for the life of me, so I just leave my hands to the professionals. However I still have to paint my toenails as I don't think I could cope with anybody touching my feet for longer than a second...the struggle is real!

But it feels like I'm forever topping my toes up from the nail varnish having chipped off, which is a total pain in the arse! That's where this products comes in, it's meant to replicate what they do at nail bars so your nail varnish lasts just as long.

In the box you get a base coat and a top coat, so you simply start off by removing any remaining nail varnish you may have, then apply the base coat onto your clean nails. Then once the base coat has dried you can paint a colour of your choice, literally anything! I used a lilac colour as it's one of my favourite nails colours ever. Then after the coat of colour has dried, you just apply a finishing coat on which is quite shiny, then viola!

I found the drying times were quite good, as by the time I'd finished painting all my toes I could already start another coat. Also at the time of writing this I haven't painted my toes in over a week now and they still look just as good as when I first painted them! (I would have posted a picture, but I really don't want my feet on my blog...)

Honestly I didn't have high hopes for this product, but it pleasantly surprised me! I can't believe my toenails have lasted a week when they normally look so tatty by now! It only costs £6.84 on Amazon and thanks to how long it lasts I really can't see it running out any time soon.

Have you tried anything from W7?

Review of: Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask*

I remember being a kid when my Mum had a facemask on, I would always laugh at her saying that she looked like a monster... This is exactly what this reminds me of! I've really needed to up my skincare game lately so I've been super excited to try this out.

I'm a newbie to facemasks, I've never really used them regularly. I use tea tree ones during a bad spot breakout but other than that, nada.

As some of you will know I've been moaning and moaning about winter drying out my skin, but I have combination skin, I've just been tending to the dryness more than anything else lately. Like most people I mainly suffer from oily skin around my t-zone and I often find myself with a shiny nose. Sexy right?

This is where this face mask comes in, I've been using it twice a week for the past couple of weeks. I should really just apply it to my t-zone but I get all nostalgic and apply it everywhere and laugh at how I look. I'm really mature like that! I then wait for the dark green to fully fade away to the light pale green colour it turns into when it's dried. As it is drying you can really feel your skin tightening, meaning it's working - it's a weird feeling that I actually kinda like!

Putting all joking that I look like a monster aside, I have noticed a difference in the shininess of my t-zone, I used to powder my nose (like I was in the 1950s) to reduce the shininess but I'm finding myself not having to do so less and less which is always a bonus!

 Oh and I just had to include a really attractive selfie for you all.

I'm definitely going to re-buy this mask once it has run out! Boots even have a '3 for 2' offer on currently (which I always take advantage of) you can find the Botanics range here.

What's your favourite face mask?

Review of: Botanics All Bright Hydrating Day and Night Creams*

I'm one of those people who don't have one exact skin type, sometimes my skin's oily, sometimes it's dry... And sometimes it's just a mix of the two. However, the cold months have been extra harsh on my skin this year and I've been suffering from dry skin more than usual! I've been in need of a good moisturising product to fight it so I thought I'd try Boots' Botanics range.

I was particularly drawn to the 'All Bright' products in the line, as they claim to make your skin appear brighter by using a plant called hibiscus annnd hydrate your skin, both of which are an absolute godsend in winter as my skin has been both very dull and very dry (cry).

Both creams have different textures, the day one has a thinner consistency, being very light on your skin making it perfect for mornings. Then the night one is that slight bit heavier as it would be, but not too heavy meaning it doesn't clog my pores and leaves my skin feeling sticky, which I really hate in a moisturiser.

I've been using both the creams for two weeks now, I can't really tell if my skins been brighter but I can definitely feel the difference! My dry patches are no where near as bad and my skin is so soft to touch I love it!

As much as I love splashing out on high-end products (and making my bank balance rather low), the cheaper drugstore options can offer products just as good without the fancy packaging! This for me is one of them and I've been using them everyday without fail!

I think you'd be silly to miss out as they're currently half price at Boots for only £2.49 each!
Day Cream RRP £4.99 | Night Cream RRP £4.99

W7 Absolute Lashes* vs. Benefit They're Real Mascara

Mascara is an essential in any girls makeup collection regardless of what their makeup style is. I've tried hundreds of them over the years, from the cheaper brands like Collection and the more high-end brands such as Benefit. As much as I like my high-end products it's always nice to find a cheaper alternative that actually works... Like my Nan says 'it's only a bargain if it's actually worth having'.

W7's Absolute Lashes is very much a dupe for Benefit's They're Real mascara, so I was very excited to try it out for myself. The similarities between the two are just crazy, I often grab the Absolute Lashes mascara by mistake thinking it's actually the They're Real mascara as their packaging is so alike!

I must say that W7's Absolute Lashes mascara has really surprised me! I wasn't expecting it to lift and lengthen my lashes as much as Benefit does, but I'm definitely not complaining at the price. Both mascaras have the same shaped wands so you can reach those little lashes that bigger wands may often miss out.

The only difference between the two mascaras is Absolute Lashes has a thicker formula making your eyelashes appear fuller than They're Real does but that's what I like about it! I often used another mascara on top of Benefits to achieve the thickness I desire, so I'm finding myself reaching out for W7's Absolute Lashes more and more instead of Benefit's They're Real.

Will you be giving this mascara a go? For just £3.45 on Amazon here at the moment you'd be silly to miss out on such a good dupe!

Review of: Bleach London Reincarnation Mask

I'll be completely honest with you, I haven't been very nice to my hair over the years. I have bleached and dyed my hair countless times - I've been red, purple, lilac, maroon, blue, pink, blonde, ginger, black, brunette, dip dye, highlights... You name it, I've had it. All those years of colouring have taken its toll, so I'm always on the look out for conditioning products as my hair is very thirsty, so this is where this product comes in.

£6 RRP Boots

Bleach London are well know for their crazy hair colours, but to get crazy coloured hair you'll often need to lighten your hair by bleaching - which is never kind to anybody's hair. So I had a lot of faith in this product before I'd even bought it, the box even states to improve hairs elasticity (which anyone with damaged hair literally needs).

The mask says to be used pre-shampoo, so you simply dampen your hair then rub the mask through leaving it on for 10-20 minutes before jumping in the shower and washing like normal. It also says you can wrap a warm towel around your hair if you want to increase the conditioning effects, so I've also just relaxed in the bath with the towel wrapped around. I actually skip shampooing all together and use the mask on its own to boost the conditioning effect as well (being un-naturally blonde = v. thirsty hair).

I honestly am not lying to you when I say this is my new holy grail product as it works MIRACLES (and trust me, I've tried a lot of conditioning products in my day). From the first time I used it I could tell the difference and now I'm using it once a week to give my hair that nourishing treat it needs. My hair has honestly been in a rut the past year and has been the same length for what feels like forever, so fingers crossed this works in the long run and helps my hair grow out!

What conditioning hair product do you swear by? I'm always looking to try out others (conditioner junkie over here)

p.s. There's currently a 3 for 2 on Bleach London products on Boots.com as a part of their 'Let's Feel Like New' campaign so be sure to check it out!!

Makeup Revolution: Protection Palette*

I'm sure most of you know that I have this massive, undying love for Makeup Revolution, there seems to always be a product of theirs that I'm just dying to get my hands on. Their new protection palette was one of them and I was lucky enough to get my hands on one!

The best thing about this palette is the fact it offers so much! You have concealers in three different shades, powder, bronzer, blush and a highlighter. It's pretty much an on-the-go contouring kit.. does your Kardashian contour fade throughout the day? Just pull this out of your bag and top it up! The palette eliminates the need to carry so many different makeup products in your bag just for topping up, which I'm totally guilty for as I always have a makeup bag on me.... Opps

You can purchase the palette in one of 4 shades to fit your skin tone, meaning you'll readily have 5 different products put together all in the right shades for you, I was sent the light/medium palette and each product matches with my skin tone perfectly!

As always the pigmentation is fab on everything, you really don't need to use much to make a difference! Just pull the palette out and use your fingers, gently applying them to your face... Did I mention it also comes with a massive mirror? So you don't even need to nip to the toilet for a mirror, so so so handy.

My favourite thing about the palette has to be the highlighter but I think that's just me being a little biased (total highlighter junkie over here), I also love just how it sticks to it's name of being 'protective' as it definitely covers most of your makeup needs, protecting you from most beauty blunders throughout the day! I know I always like a good concealer and highlighter touch up and this palette overs me both of them... what isn't to love?

So that's another amazing product under Makeup Revs belts, I really can't wait to see the release of new products in the future as they are unstoppable! Have you seen their new brushes? I've definitely got to get my hands on some of those to add to my collection.

Makeup Revolution: Radiant Lights Highlighters*

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, I'm sure you have all heard of Makeup Revolution. Having only launched early last year they have been going from strength to strength, being both good quality and affordable. I've definitely become a massive Makeup Rev fan over the past few months, so I was more than excited to review their new radiant lights highlighters!!

Exhale, Breathe and Glow

Radiant lights are baked highlighter powders, which are available in three gorgeous shades called Exhale, Breathe and Glow...

'Exhale' is the lightest shade - I sometimes find that the lightest shade in highlighters lack in pigmentation, but this one pleasantly surprised me and is the most shimmery (yay!!). 'Breathe' is the middle shade - this one is my favorite in the range and I've been using it ALOT since I received it as it's very subtle it, complementing my foundation perfectly and gives me this nice radiant finish. Then last, but not least is 'Glow', which is the darkest shade, it acts almost like a bronzer against my skin tone but as you can see it still has the 'highlighting' quality like the others.

I also love the packaging, the powder itself has rings baked into them, then the boxes they come in are adorable (I love shiny things) plus each highlighter comes with a compact mirror in the lid - perfect for keeping in your hand bag so you can top up in the day, something I do on a regular basis.

So here's another 'must have' Makeup Revolution product that I absolutely love and costing only £5 each they are a steal. I can't wait to see what else they have up their sleeves especially with the release of their new 'Naked Chocolate' palette!
