And now it's time for another Revolution collaboration review, with The Emily Edit; The Needs face & eye palette...

I'm back with another product from Revolution's ever-growing collaboration line and I've gone with another multi-purpose face palette since I really enjoy the other ones I have. For the first time in the line I actually am very familiar with the 'influencer' that the brand has chosen to work with; it's EmilyNoel83, who I've been watching on YouTube for almost 11 years. 

Revolution had been teasing this collaboration over social media a little while before it launched and I knew from the first close-up face shot they showed that it was Emily (slightly stalkerish of me), so I was ready to buy her palettes on launch day. I've wanted to wait a little while for this review to make sure that the 'wow' factor of having the name of someone that I recognize and respect on the palette had worn off, and that I'm reviewing the product purely on how well it performs.  With that being said, lets now jump into the good stuff...

Fetish blush and highlight palette, by Kat Von D Beauty...

As I said in the last post, the Kat Von D limited edition Christmas range is out in Debenhams, and if the last couple of years worth of quick-to-sell-out UK releases are a indication [and they almost-certainly are], then you haven't got long to decide if you want to get anything from it.

Allow me to talk you through the contents and provide photos of me wearing everything in the second [and final] thing I bought from it - the Fetish blush and highlight palette. I hope that this helps you make up your mind about indulging in this Fetish product, or if you'd rather sit this one out...

Doesn't the name scream "wholesome Christmas fun"?! Fetish eyeshadow palette, by Kat Von D Beauty...

On your, mark, get set, GO BUY... the Kat Von D Christmas palette is out in Debenhams, and if the last couple of years worth of quick-to-sell-out UK releases are a indication [and they almost-certainly are], then you haven't got long to decide if you want it.

Allow me to talk you through the contents and provide photos, to help you make up your mind about indulging in Fetish, or if you'd rather sit this one out...

Ring The Alarm... The Vault has been opened again.


The Ring The Alarm palette is one of four palettes in the Morphe/Jaclyn Hill 'The Vault' collection, which is comprised of the eyeshadow shades that didn't make it into the original Jaclyn Hill palette.The Ring The Alarm palette contains the 10 warmest shades in the collection - I've watched a fair few of Jaclyn's videos now and saw that she does gravitate towards these kinds of shades, so this particular palette does feel very authentic. 

But never mind about that; we're here to find out if the quality inconsistency problems are real, and if so, are they ongoing...

Christmas is coming... The Heart Heaven highlighter gift set (by I ❤ Revolution).

Last time on Christmas is coming...

... I was all giddy when I saw that Superdrug's Christmas gift range has gone live on their site, so I just had to go ahead and buy a little something. I picked out one of Revolution's sets because I have come to really enjoy their products recently and the brand falls under the 30% off perk, if you have a Staff Family & Friends discount card. I'd wanted to buy the highlight set but it wasn't in stock at the time, so I picked out and reviewed the Chocolate Heart eye/face set instead.



 When I went back onto the Superdrug site recently to look for gifts for other people, I noticed that the highlighter set was back in stock, so I jumped on it. Was the wait worth it???

The shades of autumn, with the Kisu eyeshadow palette [by Revolution Beauty].



The Revolution collaboration line has boomed this year and today I'm going to be taking a closer look at one of the palettes that they created with an international 'influencer' - and this time around it's German YouTuber Kisu who is entering the spotlight, with her self-named eyeshadow and highlight palette.

I'd never heard of Kisu before, but one look at the beautiful autumnal tones in her palette and I was placing my order; autumn is my favourite season and I love autumnal shades when picking new clothes and makeup.

Is the Revolution Haunted Lights highlighter a trick or a treat?

I've outlined the tough things that have gone on in my life over the past year before [here and here]; one of the things that these stresses have caused is me relapsing with nail biting, so no China Glaze or indie Halloween reviews this year - it's a real shame that I'm struggling to break the habit, as there are loads of cool collections this year.

However Revolution have come up trumps with some cool Halloween cosmetic items, including the item that I wanted to get last year, but it sold out before I could get it... Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Haunted Lights highlighter.
