The Cheek Of It lines had already been on clearance because they're going to be reformulated & repackaged, but now lots of other great quality items can be snapped up.

Today I want to quickly show what another one of my still available blush [plus bronzer & highlighter] products from the brand P.louise looks like in action,  so lets jump straight into the good stuff...

Holla back brat [reviewing the Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Wattabrat, by Fenty Beauty]

Light up where you want, when you want. Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter was born to reflect your every mood...

Unlike your everyday highlighter, Killawatt keeps skin lit beyond sundown with its weightless longwear formula — a cream-powder hybrid that instantly melts into skin and blends with almost zero effort. Another win: It’s loaded with superfine shimmer for an ultra-smooth, creamy texture.

Seeing that last year's limited edition Diamond Bomb highlighter is the only Fenty Beauty item that I fully enjoy, I thought it'd be a great idea to find a similar shade in the brand's permanent highlighter line...

The glow goes on... [reviewing the Face Glow Cream Shimmer Stick, by Natasha Denona]

"Discover Natasha Denona Face Glow Cream Shimmer, an illuminating cream stick perfectly fuses to skin for a glow that seems to come from within. Delicate colour and pearl effects shape the complexion with pure radiance.

Easy direct application allows you to glow and go with style. Enriched with Lychee extract that offers antioxidant, hydrating properties"

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, I've become more interested in more natural-appearing highlighters - yet I'm also fond of highlighters which have I'M HERREEE levels of shine. Is there such a thing as a  highlighter that can somehow combine those two features?

All for one and one for all? [reviewing the Instant Look In A Palette compact, by Charlotte Tilbury].

Darlings, beautify your face in a flash...

My Instant Look in a Palette in Gorgeous, Glowing Beauty features the most mesmerising, rich shades to instantly create a spellbinding glow. This is a fresh, gorgeous makeup look in a 7-shade palette for eyes, face and cheeks! Sculpt and define your complexion with effortless ease and prepare to dance the night away!

This is everything you need to mesmerise the world in a palette…

As much as I usually enjoy making my own colour stories using different shades and brands together for different combinations every time that I wear makeup, I admit that there  are days when I do want to put on 'a little something', but am too rushed or lazy to put in the brain power.

Will this compact deliver a quick & easy look, that still provides that suitable touch of glam?

Are they dupes? Amrezy highlighter by Anastasia Beverly Hills, vs Molten Gold FaceStudio Chrome Extreme Highlighter by Maybelline.

In today's edition of 'Are they dupes?' Ill be taking another look at a recently reviewed highlighter and comparing it against a highly rated one, that is no longer available...

Last-minute Stocking stuffer: Haus Laboratories Glam Attack Liquid Shimmer Powder in Aphrodite

So; Lady Gaga launched her own beauty brand in August and naturally I'd pre-ordered a three-piece set.

Today I want to focus on what I think is the star product in the selection, something I've worn quite a few times now and get compliments from strangers when I wear when out and about...

Shine bright like a diamond [Reviewing the Diamond Bomb II highlighter, by Fenty Beauty].

 "Glitz out from head to toe: This season, cult-favorite Diamond Bomb goes holographic pink with limited-edition Diamond Bomb II. Take your favorite iconic diamond-dusted look to the next level with this festive iridescent 3D shade that’ll leave your face and body looking veiled in peachy-pink crystals"

Today is the day; I'm reviewing a Fenty Beauty product that I like. It's a Christmas miracle!

Speedy review... Eyeball Highlighter in Eye See You, by I 💗 Revolution.

Today I'm posting my final speedy review on a Revolution Halloween 2019 makeup product. I've already looked at two of the three new Halloween themed highlighters by I💗 Revolution, so today I'm looking at the third one...

Speedy review... Eyeball Highlighter in Eye Scream, by I 💗 Revolution.

Welcome  to part II of speedy reviews on the three new Halloween themed highlighters by I💗 Revolution.

 I was curious to find out how the formula compares to Revolution's skull Halloween highlighters of previous years, so I've been spending the past few weeks trying them all out, and now want to share my thoughts on them one by one...

Speedy review... Eyeball Highlighter in Terrif-eye, by I 💗 Revolution.

I've just decluttered a load of highlighters, but when I saw the palettes for the three Halloween 2019 highlighters,  I fell down the rabbit hole again.

This year Revolution have passed the Halloween highlighter reins over to their sister brand I 💗 Revolution, so I'm curious to find out how the formula compares to Revolution's skull ones of previous years...

A closer look at... Maybelline's FaceStudio Chrome Extreme Highlighter in Molten Gold.

Looking for the appearance of a £30 highlighter,  with a 'drugstore' price tag?

Today I want to share a find that my sister found and then passed on to me, as I've been looking for something that could maybe be a replacement for the-much-lusted-after ABH Amrezy highlighter...

Is this a contender?

A closer look at... the Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Duo [7daywknd/Poolside] by Fenty Beauty...

 Fenty Beauty first released three duo-highlighter compacts with their 'Killawatt Foil' formula as part of their summer line last year, and they described the formulas as being "weightless, long-wear cream-powder hybrid highlighter duos with a hyper-metallic finish" ones, which double up as eyeshadows [I guess that this foiled highlight formula has proved very popular, as the 'limited edition' compacts are still available and there are more shades available with the 'Killawatt Foil' formula].


I got two out of the three [here and here] of the original duos last year when the brand was exclusive to Harvey Nichols, and I wasn't impressed by the foiled formula. But now that the Fenty brand has landed in Boots I decided to put my Beauty Club points to use and round out my collection by picking up the duo that was missing from the collection for free - everyone else seems to love the Killawatt Foil formula, so I was curious to find out if maybe the formula has been tweaked...

Is it blooming lovely? Looking at the Shimmer & Strobe Highlighting Palette, by Flower Beauty...

Actress Drew Barrymore's cosmetics line - Flower Beauty - has recently launched in the UK, after me being unsuccessful in tracking it down during past holidays in America, meaning that I was itching to throw money at them the instant that Superdrug began to stock their products a few months ago.

So; has my first Flower Beauty product been worth the wait? Has it become too built up in my  mind to live up to?

Is bigger better? Exploring the Revolution x Rachel Leary Ultimate Goddess eye & face palette...

Today we're going to delve into the second palette in the Revolution x Rachel Leary collaboration, which has more of everything; more bronze options, more highlight picks, a choice in blush finishes and a wider variety of eyeshadow colour families. But is bigger really better?

As already mentioned in my review for the first half of this collection; I've already criticized Revolution themselves, I've had this palette since May and I'm not familiar with the 'influencer' whose name is on the palette  - so yeah, I've had plenty of time to test the products repeatedly and I don't feel any loyalty to either the brand or the collaborator to say I like the products if I don't... 

Ready to dive into today's photo-heavy review?

Keepin' it moving: the Revolution x Rachel Leary Goddess On The Go eye & face palette...

Revolution's 2019 collaboration season has really heated up now and I have one of the newer pieces to show of today - it was the newest release when I bought it, started using it and started my notes about my experiences with it, but now there's a 3-piece collection from Roxxsaurus [plus they're hinting at a upcoming release - a collab with Makeupbyjaack is my guess for it, as he's hinting at a upcoming project]... 

Anyway, back to today's subject; I've been testing the Goddess On The Go eye & face palette since it launched at the end of May and now feel able to offer a valid opinion on it. 

As per usual, I hadn't heard of the person Revolution collaborated with; no offence to the collaborators, I'm just too old and untrendy for all this social media and it's 'influencers'.

Get three cosmetic products AND donate to charity, all with buying one £5 item?! [looking closer at the I 💗 Revolution x Marie Curie Inspired By Love Heart]

"Revolution Beauty has teamed up with Marie Curie to create 10,000 I Heart Revolution heart-shaped limited-edition highlighters. Our mission is to raise £10,000 for the charity. £1.00 of every purchase (RRP £5.00) goes to Marie Curie. Help us achieve our £10,000 goal. By doing so you’ll help Marie Curie provide hands-on care and emotion support to people living with a terminal illness and allow their loves ones to make the most of the time they have together. Buy a heart for yourself or give a heart to someone else. 

I Heart Revolution Inspired By Love Marie Curie Heart is a triple baked highlighter, that will give you the ultimate summer glow. Sweep over your cheekbones, under the brow bone or all over your face for a beautifully radiant finish. Wrapped in gold heart packaging, ideal for placing on your dressing table"

When buying shampoo last week, I saw that I could pick up a multi-use product by my favourite 'drugstore' brand, whilst simultaneously donating to a charity supporting cancer-patients.

No-brainer = I'll have a piece of that...

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...

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.
