Three High Quality Highlighters




Make Up Revolution I Heart Make Up 'Goddess of Love' Highlighter - £5.99
Urban Decay Afterglow Highlighter in 'Sin' - £19
Barry M Illuminating Strobe Cream 'Iced Bronze' - £4.49

I have put together three great highlighters that differ in price, formula and brand. I was first attracted to the heart boxes from Make Up Revolution as they looked like amazing dupes of the blushes from Too Faced, and I am a sucker for such cute packaging. At first I tried the blushes from Make Up Revolution and after being very impressed with them I decided to try one of their highlighters. This also turned out to be a great product, not particularly as pigmented as the other two highlighters I have picked out but a good product for only £4.99. It gives a natural and subtle glow to the skin, and it has a pink sheen to it, not my favourite in a highlighter but as it is not strongly pigmented it does not show up on the skin with too much of a pink shine. 

After watching Manny MUA rave about the Urban Decay highlighter in 'Sin' I was easily persuaded and went and bought it when it was finally back in stock! It is super pigmented and I always get comments whenever I am wearing it. If you are looking for a higher end product for highlight then this one should definitely be the top of your list! 

If you are looking to try a cream product, the the Barry M strobe stick is great and really affordable. It is easy to apply and blend, without smudging or moving your foundation and although there are only two shades to choose from, I am really pleased with the champagne shade of Iced Bronze. 

Highlighter is by far my favourite make up product and so my collection is always growing and very varied. What are your favourite highlighters?

Make Up Revolution Radiance Palette



I love Make Up Revolution products, overall as a brand they are affordable, reliable and sell products of a high standard. I have tried many of their different palettes, and particularly love their chocolate bar eyeshadow palettes, but I have been wanting to try this palette for quite some time now and I finally got round to it! 


The Radiance palette is a highlighter palette that consists of three shades; Breathe, Exhale and Glow, all available for purchase individually, but after hearing how great all three shades were, I bought the palette of three and even saved money by doing so. All are fairly pigmented for a palette that only costs £8, but give a natural, lit from within glow that I actually prefer to use as powders over my skin rather than a highlight for my cheekbones, and the darker shade I use to bronze up my skin. They are silky and brightening and I am so impressed this palette that I reach for it everyday. 

This is commonly described as a dupe for, and compared to the the ambient lighting powders from Hourglass, however I have not splurged the money to try out any of them so I cannot personally compare the two, but so many reviews link the two together. The packaging and design is lovely, and the has a big mirror which is always a plus for me! Again, I cannot believe this only costs £8. 

If you are looking for a dupe for the Hourglass products, then definitely give these highlighters a try!
