I feel like I must start by explaining why I rarely ever feature Makeup Revolution on the blog. 

Firstly I just don't usually have interest on buying their products when I have much more high end alternatives on my drawers waiting to be used before expiry date. Secondly, it is rare that they launch a product where they're not trying to copy some other brand and upon watching Kat Von D's video about it I'm totally supporting her and understanding, as an artist myself, how bad it is to get your work and idea stolen and produced in favour of a cheaper alternative. 

Lastly, even thou they're cheap I never found the quality that amazing, I would say they sit on the same lines as MUA... I just stopped even looking at their stand!

Having said that, when Sophie from Soph Does Nails, announced her collaboration with them and upon watching her swatch video on the products I couldn't just pass on it. I really do like Sophie and is an immense pleasure to support her, but besides that the products looked promising! They look original (for once) and really cohesive, quality seems good upon watching her using the products. 

All in all that's why I wanted to get my hands on them and review for you - let me just clarify that my opinion is not influenced by the person who created, brand or price. 

Glow is the key for the holiday season and since not all of us have the possibility or desire to spend dozens of pounds in cosmetics I decided it would be helpful to bring you some affordable glow givers!

Seventeen has always been that brand I look past when shopping, have no idea why since I've always been a fan of affordable yet good quality make-up, so since the day I decided to stop 5 minutes and have a browse there I found a few amazing products.

Highlighters are all over the place now and even thou I have plenty for a lifetime I still manage to keep getting more and more in the hopes they're all different to one another.

Highlighting the inner corner might just be one of my favourite things in the world of makeup! I just love the effect it gives and as a colour lover I don't only use creams and whites! 

Hopefully you'll be inspired to add up some colour to your inner corner as you know some of my favourite shadows to do so!

Highlighters are everywhere and even thou I don't own the amazing Champagne Pop or Soft & Gentle I still managed to grab a good variety of them that I love but... just wait for IMATS, something tells me I will come home with a few more...

From liquid to powder there's plenty of options, some more affordable than others, and for the most part differing in shade and intensity!

I managed to downsize to my favourites to 8, no judgments, I honestly love each one of these can't really skip any.

Liquid light, glow from within, radiant complexion, it all sounds like 3 products I own! From Seventeen to Benefit most of the brands have now one liquid highlighter or a similar product with a different name! The thing is, the liquid and cream formulas are getting more and more popular and if we want a break from the so powdery pans we can rely on these products!

This is quite a strong swatch so be light hand when applying this otherwise you'll be shining like a disco ball, which is not very flattering on a daily makeup look! At the price of 18£ it sure isn't cheap but worth every penny you can spend on! As for a cheap alternative I find my Sleek Face Contour Kit Highlighter very similar in texture being a great option for those without the money at this moment. The colour on the pan is not straight up the same but on my skin I don't notice much difference between the two! I kept myself far from this product for too long but don't regret any bit of buying it! It is hands down my favourite highlighter and comes across my mind at that stage pos contour pre blush every and any other day. It's a product for all year, no matter the weather nor season so if you're on a hunt for a good lift up this is your chance!

Worths the hype? For sure it does! 

Have you tried Mary-Lou Manizer? Share your favourite highlighter with me!

Eyes come in second at least in my routine..

For a longlasting eyeshadow look i tend to go for ELF eyeshadow primer - 2,37€

Since we have a base we need an eyeshadow.. in this case Eye Dust by Sleek - 3,99€

Eyeliner is a must and Kiko Makeup Milano Smart Eye Pencil is only 2,50€

Mascara the last step of an eyelook which makes all the difference , Catrice The Giant Extreme Volume mascara in Waterproof is 4,99€  

Last but not least the lipstick family is a huge sought on makeup world and we couldn't live without a good lipstick for a good price ;)

Catrice Ultimate Colour lipsticks are the best and only 4,49€

   (left to right- Beauty Beats (JB collection) Oz the Great and Powerful (Oz collectiom)

This two cost me about 3,99€ each which i find affordable, they're both beautiful  and different at the same time

The Beauty Beats is more shimery and i would use it for a night out or some tutorials i would like to add a bit more of shimmer...

The Oz one is more like a natural glow, it doesn't show much at all, it really seems to be like a normal powder if you'd like to, with the thing you would 'naturaly' glow.. 

The impressive thing is that they both have letters (more like concret words) wrote on them:

 This one says more than one word, it has sentences : 

'Things are not always as they seem'

' goodness'
'kindness'

'Master of Illusion'

'generosity'

I love every single thing about this powder.. the packaging, the words, the product itself ... i simply adore it and i'm a bit of sad that to use it i have to 'clean' the words..  

Anyway, i've tried them once but once is not enough  to review them as a highlighter.. i'll use them and tell you my opinion in one of my next posts..

I just wanted to share with you my first impression about it.. Hope you like it ^^

Tell me your opinion about highlighters... recomend me some if you'd like to!

I'll apreciate it!

Thanks for reading,
