Revlon Highlighting Palette - Bronze Glow.


Revlon Highlighting Palette in Bronze Glow - £8.99

For the spring and summer, I'm all about bronzed, glowing skin. Living in the UK, we don't get that much sun; and even if we do, it's still pretty chilly! However, I have found the perfect palette that gives a gorgeous bronzy glow for that sun-kissed look.

The Revlon Highlighting Palette comes in two colours: Bronze Glow and Rose Glow. The palettes consist of five strips of complimentary colours that you blend together to get a beautiful colour to enhance your complexion. I picked up the palette in Bronze Glow and I am in love!


It looks quite sparkly in the pan but when you apply it, it's non-glittery and gives the perfect amount of shimmer. I sweep my brush over the whole palette and apply it on the top of the cheekbones over a little blusher for a bronzy glow. You can dust the product lightly or build it up for a more intense colour.

Another thing I love is that this palette is more than just a highlighting palette, it's also an eye shadow palette. I love warm tones for my eyes and with these colours, you can create an everyday neutral look. Who doesn't love a multi-functional product??

I would say this is a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks but less glittery. For only £8.99, they are a fraction of the price and definitely worth it!

Models Own HyperGel: Coral Glaze.

Models Own HyperGel in Coral Glaze - £5.00

I am loving this Models Own HyperGel polish in Coral Glaze! The colour is so pretty and perfect for spring.

I applied two layers for a more intense colour and although it's not necessary, I also put a top coat on just to prevent chips and preserve the shine. I love the thick consistency that gives it the gel-like effect, and there's no need for the hassle of a UV light. I added a touch of glitter on my accent nail as well using Pure Ice varnish in Don't You Wish.

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms: Standout & Elusive.





Top: Standout | Bottom: Elusive

Whilst browsing the make-up aisles at Boots I came across these Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms. There are 10 colours altogether but I only picked up 2 as they were pretty low in stock. However, I am tempted to go in search for more because I am loving these!

The formula is super creamy and goes on really easily. As it is a matte, it stays on for a long time but suprisingly, there is no drying out. They come out really pigmented and the colours have great lasting power. When you apply it, there is a mint scent (which I personally like), but it does go away fairly quickly after application.

The Matte Balms come in jumbo pencil form with bases that twist to reveal more product so there is no need to sharpen them. The packaging is made of matte plastic and the colour of it is actually true to the colour of the balm inside - helpful when trying to pick a colour at a glance.

Standout is a neutral red that is really flattering when worn. It gives the perfect red lip!

Elusive is a really nice pink colour - not too bright or dark, just the right amount of pink and great for an everyday look.

I love the consistency, texture and opaque coverage of these lip products. Also, they're so handy to use on the go!

Mini drugstore beauty haul.

Boots still have their 3 for 2 offers going on at the moment and I tried so hard not to buy anything, but couldn't help myself (as usual!).
