Rimmel Stay Matte Powder Review

I ordered this powder awhile ago from Fragrance Direct as I'd heard a lot of great things about it. Unless you've been living under a rock you will know that this powder is super popular amongst bloggers and youtubers. I've had this review in my drafts for ages. The main reason that it has taken me this long to review it is because the first time I used it I was disappointed. To me it just seemed like an ordinary face powder it didn't do anything particularly special and I just couldn't understand what all the hype was about.

However a couple of months ago my skin was very oily which I found odd as my skin is usually normal- dry. As a result a lot of the makeup I was using was not working on my oily skin I found that I was becoming shiny throughout the day which is something that I hadn't really had to deal with before so I decided to try the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder which I had put in my collection and almost forgotten about.

I am glad I did go back and try this as it really helped me through my period of oily skin. I found that it did reduce the shine and although I did have to touch it up throughout the day I didn't have to touch up as much as I'd been doing with the other powders in my collection. I now understand the hype this powder is really good if you have oily skin but if you don't have oily skin and you don't get shiny throughout the day then this powder won't be amazing for you. Don't get me wrong it sets your foundation just as good as other powders but I think in order to understand the hype you really need to have oily skin in order to understand why everyone raves about this powder.

This powder is good as it comes in a variety of shades, I got the shade Transparent so it doesn't add any extra colour to my skin. The powder feels very light on my skin and doesn't look cakey. It controls my shine for most of the day. When I apply it at 7 in the morning I find I don't need to touch it up until about 1ish so it lasts a really long time. 

My only issue with the powder is the packaging. The packaging unlike my Maybelline Fit Me Powder doesn't feel very secure and I'm always nervous about taking it with me in my handbag or makeup bag as the lid has a tendency to fall off. Also I notice with this powder although it has more product than the Maybelline one (this one has 14g of product the Maybelline one has 9g) this one seems to have gone down much quicker despite the fact that I have used the Maybelline one more. 

Overall this is an good powder if you have oily skin but if you don't have oily skin then you'll probably find this powder at bit meh.

Have you tried this powder? What do you think?

ELF Haul January 2013

A little while ago I ordered a few things from ELF  and today I thought I would share with you what I got. I will be doing more in depth reviews of these products once I try them out. 

Firstly I picked up the Daily Brush Cleaner I am really bad at cleaning my brushes, I don't do it as often as I should but I am hoping that this will be much quicker to do so that I will be able to clean my brushes more often. I heard about the new Moisturising Lipsticks and I knew I had to try them out. I love moisturising lipsticks so I thought these would be perfect for me. I choose the shade Flirty & Fabulous which is a gorgeous bright pink. I am currently really enjoying using this and it is quite a moisturising formula. I wanted to repurchase the Eyelid Primer in Sheer but that was sold out so I opted for Champagne which I think will work well with all of my neutral eyeshadows. This primer is one of my favourites and it is so affordable so I definitely recommend it.  I got 2 of the Baked Blushes as I had heard such good things about them. I got the shades Peachy Cheeky and Pinktastic both of these are beautiful colours and I am looking forward to trying them out. The last 2 items are eyeshadows, I had previously tried the Baked Eyeshadow in Bark and loved it so much that I wanted to try another one. I chose the shade Burnt Plum as I thought it would work really well with Bark.  The last thing I got was from the Mineral range, I haven't tried many products from this range and as it was in the sale I thought it was worth giving it a try. I got the Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow in Lunch Break which is a gorgeous colour and one that I am loving wearing all over my lid. 

So this is all the products that I got from ELF as I try them out I will review them for you. Have you tried any of these products? Do you have any ELF recommendations?

New MUA Blusher Shades Review

This year MUA released 6 new blushes shades. I hadn't tried any of the single blushes before and I thought I would give them ago. The new shades are Bubblegum, Bon Bon, Marshmallow, Candyfloss, Lolly and Cupcake.

I chose the shade Marshmallow and Candyfloss as these are the 2 shades that I am most likely to wear. Candyfloss is very similar to the shade glowing from Fashionista . I love that MUA have started to name their products and all the blushes have such cute names. The packaging is quite simple although relatively sturdy. I like that it has a clear plastic lid so that you can easily identify the colour when it is in your collection. 

Marshmallow is a bright blue toned pink and is very pigmented. This blush is matte which is good as a lot of drugstore blushes have shimmer in them so this is a rare change. Apparently 2 of the blushes are matte and the other 4 are shimmer shades. I love the texture of theses blushes they are a little bit chalky but considering that they are only £1 they are quite soft and easy to work with. The pigmentation is amazing for the price and they are blend really well. MUA say that Marshmallow would suit any skin type and I think I agree with this as this type of colour usually suits most people. Candyfloss is a dusky rose colour with a gold shimmer in it. Candyfloss is really soft and easy to blend. MUA suggest that this shade would be suitable for pale- medium skin tones. I am quite pale and I think that this blush looks really flattering on me.

I really like these blushes, the colour range is lovely and the quality of these blushes is amazing. The blushes cost £1 and you can buy them in Superdrug and on the MUA website I think that they are great value for money and I really recommend that you give them a try. I have since bought another of these blushes in the shade Lolly which I will review soon. 

Summary:

Product: MUA Blushes (New 2013 Shades)

Price: £1

Shades: Marshmallow, Cupcake, Candyfloss, Bon Bon, Bubblegum and Lolly

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer Review- New Holy Grail Concealer

I am so late on the bandwagon with this that it is almost unbelievable that up until a few months ago I had not tried the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (I am as shocked as you are). I don't know why I'd never tried this before as I'd only ever heard good reviews of it.

I chose the shade fair which is the lightest one I believe that there are 3 shades to choose from and it cost me £4.19. 

The packaging is very simple it has a doe foot applicator. The only issue I have with the packaging is that the black writing smudges off.

This is my new favourite concealer the coverage it offers is amazing. This completely covers my dark circles and blemishes. It blends really well and it doesn't look cakey on my face. I have been using this everyday for the past month and I can safely say it has become a staple in my routine. The consistency is quite thick so some people may not like this but I really like it. I find that this is long lasting and lasts me through school sometimes I do touch up under my eyes with the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer to add some brightness under my eyes. 

If you haven't tried this yet then I truly recommend it.

ELF Baked Eyeshadow in Bark

I wanted to share this amazing bargain with you. It is the ELF Baked Eyeshadow in Bark. This is one of the best single eyeshadows that I have ever tried. 

I saw a couple of reviews and after seeing swatches I knew I had to try one. I chose the shade Bark as it is a beautiful bronze colour. The packaging is very simple it is a small circle compact but the packaging feels very sturdy. 

Now onto the shade you can that it is a beautiful bronze shimmer shade. It is a baked eyeshadow so you can use this wet or dry. I personally use it dry because the pigmentation is so amazing that you don't need to use it wet.

You can see from the above swatch just how pigmented it is. This eyeshadow is so soft and easy to apply. It blends like a dream and you can get away without using a primer. This is slightly more expensive than the MUA single eyeshadows but they are still affordable and the quality is amazing. I have worn this shade by itself but I have also paired it with my Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze. I have also worn it with a plum colour running through the crease which looks lovely and is the perfect combination for autumn/winter. 

I cannot recommend this eyeshadow enough it is pigmented, long lasting and there is barely any fall out. 

Summary

Product: ELF Baked Eyeshadow 

Price: £3.75 

Shades: Bark, Enchanted, Pixie, Toasted, Burnt Plum and Dusk

MUA Lip Gloss in Pin Up Pink Review

I got this quite awhile ago and I've had to use it a few times to gain my full opinion on it. I usually use lipsticks but after trying the Revlon Colourburst Lipglosses I have started using more lip glosses. 

I chose the shade Pin Up Pink as this is a shade that I would wear a lot of. I really like the colour of it and it is surprisingly pigmented on the lips. 

What MUA says 'Make a statement this season with these pout perfect plumping lip glosses. Follow the catwalk craze by keeping your make up neutral and pop those lips with these pout pleasing products from MUA Professional. Whether you’re after a bold Shocking Pink, bang on trend Sienna tangerine tone or cotton Candy Pink hue; these seven sensational shades cover the looks for less this season.
Each sensuous shade contains maxi lip plumping agents for a natural looking pout with a non sticky formula!'

The applicator seems to be a lot longer than the average lipgloss which I think makes it a lot harder to control when I am applying it to my lips however this is just a personal thing and may not be what everyone thinks. 

Onto the actual product it is a plumping lip gloss and is supposed to make your lips look fuller. It does make my lips look slightly fuller but not massively but I really only bought it for the colour so I am not too bothered. I really do love the colour and I like the pigmentation but the problem I have is that it tingles my lips. It doesn't seem to just tingle it feels like its burning and the first time I tried it I took it off straight away. I think it is because it is plumping the lips. It's such a shame because otherwise I would really like it. The lasting power isn't that good it lasts about 1 or 2 but then it is a lipgloss so it is to be expected. I am also not a fan of the smell as it has a very strong plastic scent. It isn't sticky either which is another good thing about it so like I said if it didn't tingle then it would be a great product. 

Overall I have not been very impressed with this lipgloss. If it was just a lipgloss and didn't plump my lips then I'd probably love it as it wouldn't tingle my lips. A lot of people do seem to  like these lipglosses so maybe I just got a dodgy one. 

Summary: 

Product: MUA Out There Plumping Lipgloss

Price: £2.00 

Shades: Pin Up Pink, Buff, Nude, Pink Sugar, Shocking Pink, Candy Pink, Sienna 

Where can you buy it: MUA Store or Superdrug

Makeup Firsts and Fails Tag

I was tagged by my good friend Becki to do this tag after reading Becki's post I was excited to do this tag as I had never heard of it before. I haven't seen many other bloggers doing this tag and I thought it would be fun to do. I am actually quite lucky because I only started wearing makeup 4 or 5 years ago so I can  easily remember my firsts and fails. 

So I can remember some of the first products that I used so I will tell you about those first before moving on to my fails. Although some of my firsts happen to be fails as well. 

My first eyedshadow was a single one from Miss Sporty it was in the shade Night which was a black colour. I was going through a gothy/emo stage in which everything had to be black I even wanted to paint my room black although I'm glad I didn't. I remember going into Superdrug looking for a black eyeshadow and being very disappointed to find that not many brands did a single black eyeshadow. At the time I thought this eyeshadow was the most blackest shade that I have ever seen but in reality it really wasn't that pigmented and look more grey than black. 

I can't remember my exact first mascara but I know it was one from Miss Sporty as all my friends had it. I remember buying it and wearing it and really liking it but when it came to take it off I couldn't get it off as it was waterproof but at the time I didn't realise this. Plus I was using makeup wipes (the horror) at the time I didn't realise that they were bad for your skin. 

My first lip product was a lip gloss from 2True and it was number 22, it was a sparkly pink that was quite sticky and not very pigmented but I loved it. Another product I remember having was a clear mascara also from 2True that claimed to make your breath fresher (not sure why I bought this) and in effect all it was was a clear gloss that had a very strong mint scent. 

Now onto my fails now there have been a few as I knew very little about makeup and my mum didn't wear much at the time (I have since persuaded her to wear a little bit of makeup) so she couldn't pass on any knowledge and I started wearing makeup long before I discovered YouTube and the beauty community. 

One of the biggest fails that I remember was wearing bright blue eyeshadow (yes you read that right bright blue) I don't know why I wore blue eyeshadow as I am very much a neutral eyeshadow girl and I barely ever wear any other colour on my lids. I can remember the day very clearly I was going on a trip to France with my school and I wanted to impress everyone so decided to wear makeup. I had recently got an issue of Top of the Pops magazine (do they even still make this!) and it came with a bright blue eyeshadow. So I decided to wear it. I had to get up early to go on the trip I think it was like 3 or 4 in the morning so it was still dark outside. I was half asleep when I applied my eyeshadow with the sponge applicator (cringe) and because it was quite dark in my house I didn't realise how bad it was until I got on the coach and my friend asked me what I had on my eyes. I was so embarrassed as I thought I looked great so I did what any normal person would do I blamed it on my mum and told my friend that my mum and made me wear it. I can't believe that I actually did this and it mortifies me that I even tried to blame it on my mum. 

I think most people have committed this crime but it is when you wear a foundation shade that is way too dark for you. I remember having a Miss Sporty (this seems to be featuring a lot in this post) foundation which I had got the middle shade as they hadn't got the lightest shade in stock and me being impatient couldn't wait for them to get it back in so I got the next shade. This was the most orangest foundation I have seen it made me look so orange that I wouldn't have been surprised if someone had mistaken me for a Wotsit (those orange crisps that you used to get) 

This is all I can think of right now but I'm sure I'll thing of some more and if I do I'll write them in another post. I tag anyone that wants to do this tag and if you do or have done this tag let me know as I'd love to read your posts.

Fragrance Direct Haul

I made an order from one of my favourite websites Fragrance Direct . You can find some great deals on there. They sell a range of products from perfumes to makeup and all at bargain prices. 

I picked up 2 Essie nail polishes for £1.99. I got Maximilian Strasse Her and Avenue Maintain which are both lovely colours. I have about 15 Essie nail polishes in my collection and they have all been bought at discount prices. I picked up 2 OPI nail polishes for £3.99. I love OPI nail polishes and I really like pink nail polishes. I got Nothing Mousie Bout It which is a lovely top coat made up of pink hearts which is so cute. The other colour I got was I'm All Ears. I can't wait to try these polishes out. 

I picked up the W7 Eye Primer as my ELF one has nearly run out so I thought I'd pick up this one to give it a try. I then picked up a Rimmel lipstick in Sweetheart Tulips. I love the colour of this and I can't wait to try it out. 

I then picked up some products from Zuri Skincare which is made by Sleek Makeup. I picked up the Face Mask as I need a new one, The Brightening Skin Renew Night Serum and the face moisturiser. I can't wait to try theses products and I will be reviewing them all soon. 

Have you bought anything from Fragrance direct recently?

Summer Essentials The Non-Makeup Items

Today I thought I would share my Non-Makeup summer essentials as I have already shared my makeup essentials.

I love the Botanics Toning Spritz as it is so refreshing to spray on your face when the weather is hot. I love soft skin for summer and I use face masks to achieve it. I love applying a mask at the weekend as it is so relaxing. The one I am currently using is the Superdrug Simply Pure Face Mask . I usually use a hot cloth cleanser to remove my makeup but in the summer I prefer something lighter and that is why I have gone back to the Simple Makuep Remover this is really light on my skin and removes even the most stubborn eye makeup .

Like a said above I love to have soft skin for summer and I really like having smooth legs as I usually wear dresses in the summer. At the moment I am loving The Daily Smooth Body Butter from Soap and Glory  it smells amazing, it sinks in quickly and is really moisturising. I have been loving Soap and Glory's Pulp Friction Body Scrub this is not the traditional Soap and Glory pink scent (which I love) this has made a nice change to have a different scent. The texture of this is very interesting and is different from other scrubs I have tried. It is really good at removing dry patches and makes my legs really smooth. I use the next product when I'm feeling particularly lazy. The Nivea In Shower Body Moisturiser has changed my life, before I was lazy and often skipped moisturising but this product has changed all that.

For hair I love to protect it from the heat and any other damage that may occur. I have 2 products I wanted to share with you the Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance which I have been using for awhile. I love it as it acts as a detangler as well as protecting your hair plus it smells amazing. The other product is a Strengthening Cream from Herbal Essences new range Bee Strong. This range smells of honey and is meant to strengthen damaged hair. I have used this a few times and it makes my hair really soft and it smells gorgeous.  

Onto scents I love vanilla so the Madagascan Vanilla Flower range from The Body Shop is perfect for me. I bought this in a set which came with a body lotion and shower gel it was in the sale for £12 but I got it for £7 as the sales assistant offered me one that had a slightly damaged box so I got it for less which is a bargain. Thee other scent is by Kate Moss and it is called Summertime. To me this scent just smells of summer it is fresh and I love wearing it. 

The most important product for summer is SPF, I burn very easily so I always pick the highest SPF available. Another essential is after sun lotion in case you do get burnt as it is very soothing on the skin. I use the Nivea one. 

What are your summer essentials?

MUA Cream Blush Review

I have never been a massive fan of cream blushes I much prefer powder blushes but I thought I would try this one from MUA. 

I chose the shade Bittersweet as I love pink blushes. The packaging is very sleek and simple although it is very easily broken as I managed to break one of the hinges although it is still fine to use. I really like that it has a clear lid so you can see the colour which is really handy to have when you have a big collection of blushes. There are 4 shades in this range: Yummy, Blossom, Dolly and Bittersweet. Bittersweet was the only pink shade which is a shame as I really like this blush. 

I love the colour of this blush it is a gorgeous baby pink colour. The blush is very pigmented and looks lovely on my skin. I currently apply it with my fingers as I have not found a suitable brush yet (if you have any affordable recommendations then let me know). This blush sits well on top of foundation and it blends really well.

Have you tried this?

Summer Makeup

Today I wanted to share with you my summer makeup that I will be wearing throughout the summer. 

Face

As it is summer I will be wearing a primer as it is getting warmer. I had a sample of the Benefit That Gal Primer so I am going to use it up to see what it is like. I really like a light coverage foundation that gives a radiant glow and that is what the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation gives. I have been loving the MUA Cover and Conceal because it really brightens up the eye area. I have been lightly dusting my skin with the Maybelline Fit Me Powder which is really good as it is really light on the skin and doesn't look cakey. For blush I love my pinks and the Natural Collection one in Pink Cloud is amazing. 

Eyes

Recently I have been using primers aa lot more I have been using the ELF Eyelid Primer which is really good it makes my eyeshadow last much linger and it is only £1.50. I have been using the MUA Undress Me Too Palette a lot as the cooler shades of brown are perfect for the summer. For days when I don't want as much on my eyes I have been reaching for the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Stick in Bulletproof Beige it is a gorgeous gold eyeshadow and works well as a base or by itself. Some days I wear this and some mascara and it look lovely. For mascara I love the W7 Massive Lashes mascara it can create quite natural lashes with a couple coats or much bigger lashes with a few more coats. 

Lips

I love the Revlon Lip Butters and my favourite shade at the moment is Wild Watermelon as it is the perfect summer red as it isn't too bright. This is great if you are looking into starting to wear red lips. My other choice is the MUA Power Pout in Broken Hearted I love this type of application and when MUA realised their own I knew I'd have to try them. I really like them and Broken Hearted is probably my favourite colours. 

What will you be wearing this summer?

Maybelline Fit Me Powder Review

Yesterday, I reviewed the Fit Me Foundation and today I thought I would review the powder as well. I bought this powder at the same time as I got the foundation and I got the shade 110 Porcelain. 

As you can see from the above photo the powder is really finely milled, this is good because it is less likely to go cakey when you apply it on top of foundation. This sets foundation really well and makes the foundation look flawless. I have used this on top of the Fit Me foundation but I have used it on other foundations as well and it works really well. The powder is reasonably priced and I definitely recommend that you check this out.

The packaging is really good as it comes with a handy mirror and sponge (although I've never used the sponge). I do think though that the packaging is slightly too bulky for travelling but that is just a minor thing. 

Have you tried this powder?

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Review

I got this foundation from Fragrance Direct as I had been wanting to try it for ages. I got the shade 110 Porcelain, which I have found to be an almost perfect colour match.

Unfortunately this foundation does not have a pump, however if you buy it in Boots or Superdrug it does have a pump. I like foundations that have pumps as I find that it is easier and less messier to get the product out. 

This is what the Boots website says 'Flawless. Lets the real you come through. Beyond Matching: Fresh, Breathing, Natural Skin. SPF 18' 

I like foundation that is offers light coverage and I try to make sure that I get a foundation which has SPF in it. This has SPF 18 which is unusal as most foundations I own seem to only have SPF 15. 

Now onto my thoughts of the product, as you can see from the swatches this foundation is very watery and without a pump it means I end up wasting a lot of product as I often pour too much out. When I first tried it I used my Real Techniques Buffing Brush which is what I use for all my foundation but I found that when I used it for this foundation it seemed to take ages to blend and it looked streaky once it had blended. After a couple more tries of using it with the brush I wrote it off as a bad foundation and put it back into my collection. It wasn't until I bought a makeup sponge from H&M that I thought I would try it again. The sponge is a dupe for the Beauty Blender but it is a fraction of the price at £1.99. When I used the sponge I instantly noticed a difference in the foundation, it blended easier and it didn't look streaky on my face. In fact my foundation looked flawless and I loved the way it looked on my skin. My experience shows that the tools used to apply foundation can make all the difference, a brush that is good for one foundation may not be the best for another.

ELF Haul #2

A few weeks ago ELF had free shipping so I made a little order as I had a few things on my wish list.

I got the Powder Brush as I had heard that it is really good at buffing in foundation and so far I am in love with it. It is really soft and blends foundation beautifully. 

I then picked up the baked eyeshadow in Bark as I saw it on someone's blog and it looked beautiful. I have been teaming this with my Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze, they work beautifully together. This eyeshadow looks beautiful by itself as it is extremely pigmented. 

I got the lip exfoliator as I heard good thinks about it. I love tring different lip scrubs as my lips get so dry. 

I noticed that they had there own version of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains so I just had to try them as I am a massive fan of this type of application. I chose the shade Flirty and Girly as it looked a lovely shade of pink. I am yet to try it but when I do I will let you know my opinion. 

What's your favourite ELF product?

MUA Haul

When I found out that MUA were going to be selling Fashionista products I knew I'd be making an order. I have been wanting a Fashionista palette for ages and this was a great opportunity for me to try them. You can fill a palette for £7 which is fantastic value. 

I decided to get 2 palettes one for blush and one for eyeshadow. In my blush palette I got the shades Rose Shine, Flush, Glowing and Milan. My eyeshadow palette contains Frozen, Nude Glimmer, Radiant and Gold Rush. I love the fact that you can customize your own palette.I also got a bronzer in the shade Barcelona.  I picked up another brush as I love the MUA brushes, I got the E2- Eyeshadow Contouring brush. I also picked 2 of MUA''s new blushes in Marshmallow and Candyfloss. That's all I bought and you can expect to see reviews of the products shortly.

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer Review

After trying the Match Perfection foundation  I was very interested in trying the concealer. The concealer is a 2 in 1 as it is supposed to conceal and highlight which makes it ideal for under eye circles but not so good for blemishes.

The application has a brush at the top, you squeeze the tube and the product comes out through the brush (as demonstrated in the above picture) I'm not a fan of this application as it can get quite messy and I find I waste a lot of this product.

The consistency of this is quite thick, which means that it is quite easy for this to appear cakey. I don't think this product really highlights and it it isn't the best at concealing dark circles. As of yet I haven't found a concealer that I love for my under eyes if you have any recommendations of drugstore concealers please let me know. The shade range is pretty limited, I believe there are only 3 shades so it may be difficult to find a good match. That being said this does in a way match your skin tone just like the foundation. This has properties in it which makes it adapt to your skin tone and texture so this will be suitable for a lot of people. 

I'm not a massive fan of this but it is by no means the worst concealer I have ever tried.

Weekend Wishlist #2

I have so many things on my wishlist at the moment but unfortunately I have no money so I can't get them at the moment. I thought I would share a couple of the things that I am lusting after. 

Sleek Sweet Cheeks Blush £9.99

I have seen so many rave reviews about this trio of blushes. All the colours are really pretty and colours that I would wear. Plus I have never tried anything from Sleek before and I would love to try some of their stuff.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer £5.99

I have the foundation and powder from this range (reviews coming shortly) and I quite like them and I have heard good things about the concealer so I really want to try it. 

Real Techniques Limited Edition Duo Fibre Collection   £22.92

I love the Core Collection and Starter Set and I have been lusting after more brushes for ages and this new collection looks amazing. 

Naturally Radiant Face Mask £4.99

In my May Favourites post I mentioned the Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser. I love the hot cloth cleanser and really want to try more from the range. The mask really appeals to me as I love using face masks.

L'Oreal Micellar Solution  £4.99

I've heard good things about this, it is meant to be good at removing eye makeup and is said to be a dupe for Bioderma which I have yet to try as it is quite difficult to get in the UK. 

What is on your wishlist?

MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighter Review

I want to start off by apologising for the lack of posts, the reason is that I'm currently busy revising for my AS exams so that is taking up a lot of my time I'm going to try and schedule some posts for you but I may not be able to post as many as I usually do. I hope you can all understand and know that I will be back to blogging as soon as my exams finish. My last exam is June 5th and after that I will be posting more regularly. 

I picked up this highlighter a while ago from MUA and now I'm going to review it for you. This highlighter is part of their Undress Your Skin range and I have tried the foundation in this range and I love it (review). 

Here's what MUA says: Undress your Skin Highlighting Powder is a lightweight baked powder designed to provide sheer coverage and a radiant soft-focus effect to transform your complexion with luminescence shimmer. The Undress Your Skin Highlighting Powder perfects any look by creating a natural, healthy glow that is suitable for all skin tones.

The Undress Your Skin range comes in the new white packaging. I really like the white packaging on this highlighter, it is sturdy and doesn't feel like it will break easily. You get 7.5g of product for £3. This is going to last me ages as you only need a small amount of it. 

The product itself has a beautiful swirl pattern to it, people have said it looks very similar to a MAC highlighter but I can't remember which one.

The products is very pigmented without being too pigmented (if that makes sense). When applied to the skin it doesn't make your face look like a glitter ball it just adds a very natural looking shimmer to your cheeks. 

This lasts really well on the skin I'd say about 6-7 hours which is really good considering the price. I am in love with this highlighter and have been using it most days. It even featured in my April Favourites post.

Have you tried this?
