Makeup Revolution Baked Highlighter Review

Golden Lights too bright? Or Just right?

I was looking for a drugstore/high-street highlighter that I could use in the very popular contouring process. I was not sure whether to get a cream product or a powder one. Eventually the time came to take the plunge and I decided on getting a powder product...

One single swatch

However, there was a slight issue, with me having a yellow undertone. Now don't get me wrong I love my yellow undertone but (some) high-street brands obviously don't (if you have a yellow undertone you will no what I mean!). Every highlighter I saw had some sort of 'pinky/peachy' undertone to it. I love pink and peach but I didn't want to put that on the bridge of my nose, on the top of my cheekbones, on my cupid's bow etc... I think it would stand out far to much on me and look far less natural.

Now I know sometimes the natural look is not always what we have in mind but if you have a yellow undertone then a golden highlighter is the one for you! Also this highlighter also comes in a pink tone and a peach one, so there is something for everyone.

At one point I almost gave up searching until I randomly was searching the Superdrug website and came across this little gem. I saw the name 'GOLDEN LIGHTS' and did a little leap for joy. I did not even need to read reviews as I knew the colour would be perfect, and it turned out better then what I expected!

I absolutely adore my pigmented Makeup Revolution highlighter and don't know where I would be without it! Due to its great pigment quality, you only need to use a tiny amount of product. I can really see this highlighter lasting a long time.

Packaging

The packaging is pretty and compact, and would easily fit into even the smallest makeup bag. I also like the see through lid and the actual pressed design of the powder highlighter, which gives the product high-end feel.

Pros:

amazing pigment
works great for yellow undertones
sleek and pretty packaging
high-end feel
clear lid
good price (£3 when I purchased it)

Cons:

not in every Superdrug store

End thoughts...

I love this product and recommend it to everyone from a cool undertone to a warm undertone as well as everybody in the middle (neutral tones).

Determine your skin's undertone

Determining your skin's undertone is not as difficult as you might think. When you know what your skin's undertone is, it becomes so easy to pick up the right shade of foundation as well as knowing which lipstick shades/tones will compliment your more. You will be much better off knowing your undertone. The three types of skin undertones are cool, warm and neutral. There are many different ways that can be used to determine your undertone. I have found that the most effective way of determining your skin's u ndertone is by looking at the colour of your veins on the inside of your wrists. This post will show you how to find out which undertone you have! Cool undertones Your wrist veins appear blue/purple in natural lighting You can burn easily in the sun Colours that flatter you are: red, navy blue, hot pink, plums, black and soft pastel colours If you have a cool undertone your skin will have more of a 'pinkish or blue' tone to it. Think Emma Stone,

L'Oreal Colour Riche 373 Magnetic Coral Lipstick Review

I went out shopping the other day and I was casually browsing the makeup aisles and I came across this lipstick. I used the tester to swatch and I was blown away by both the colour and it's creamy texture. I absouletly love the colour of this lipstick, which is a beautiful coral shade and is very pigmented. The packaging is sleek and modern, and the use of the gold exterior gives this lipstick a high-end feel. This lipstick is very moisturising and glides on so easy without clinging to the slightly dry parts of my lips. I am not surprised that this lipstick is so moisturising as L'Oreal state that all the lipsticks in their Colour Riche selection are 'enriched with a combination of Omega-3 and Vitamin E and leaves your lips feeling moisturised'.

Coca Cola Cherry Lip Smacker Review

Amazing smell! Since secondary school (I'm now 21) I have been using my trusted Coco Cola Cherry Lip Balm! I honestly don't know where I would be without it! It used to be £1 at Primark (I stocked up!) now I can never seem to find it there, which is a shame. However, it can be found in Tesco but at £2.50. Why I love this lip balm? it has a red hint of colour it is hydrating, especially in the Winter months it also has the most amazing cherry smell, which does in fact smell like Coco Cola Cherry! Although it doesn't taste like it though! (Don't worry, I don't go round eating lip balms!). Swatch Coco Cola Cherry Lip Smacker- single swatch If you can get your hands on this get it! You will not be disappointed, let me know if you do. I would love to hear if you love this as much as I do! Available online in a set of 6 (including other 'flavours') for £9.99!
