Revolution Kisu Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette Review!

Hey beaut's!

I haven't had a new eyeshadow palette by Revolution for such a long time but when I saw their collaboration with the YouTuber Kisu I instantly fell in love, the colour-way of the palette was right up street so the palette went straight into my wish list, lucky for me it was my birthday recently and my bestie Kate treated me to the palette so I thought I'd share my thoughts on it with you today!

Truth be told I hadn't even heard of Kisu before the palette was released but her ideas behind this palette are fabulous so... well done girl! The palette itself has matte pink packaging which is super pretty and comes with a large mirror within the lid which is always handy! Within the palette their are 16 beautiful eyeshadow shades 8 of which are matte and the remaining 8 are metallic. The shade range in this palette though is absolutely stunning and I mean just look how perfect it's going to be for the Autumn months... arhhh I love it! Theres everything from your classic beige, brown and a couple of creams, intertwined with cranberry tones and gold shimmers with a pop of turquoise blue thrown in for good measure. The palette also includes 2 'slices' of highlighter which I'm not complaining about, I am a highlighter addict after all. Theres the shade Marshmallow which is an icy white which almost has a foil like finish and then theres Khaleesi which is a peachy pink which has the most amazing golden shift shift to it!

The quality of the shadows within the Kisu Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette are actually very good and really consistent, I kind of knew that the metallic shades would be good because I know Revolution do make amazing metallic shadows but I did worry that the mattes might of been a little lack-luster but actually their brilliant and perform just as well as the metallic's! Each shade is super pigmented, they all pick up on my brushes well and blend out with ease, their are a couple of shades that have the smallest amount of fallout but it's nothing major at all, and the highlighters have an almost foil effect and aren't glittery at all which is a bonus, overall I'm really pleased with the quality!

Just look at those swatches - insert love heart eyes emoji - he he. Overall I'm so impressed with the Kisu Palette and have thoroughly enjoyed playing around with all of the shades so far. The quality is really nice for the price which is just £10.00 by the way, and the shade range is stunning and right up my street, I also think if your looking for that perfect Autumnal palette which wont break the bank then you need to look no further, and the fact you get 2 highlighters thrown in too is just a brucie bonus!

Keep Your Brows And Lips Locked With Lipcote!

Hey beauts!

Keeping your makeup set into place is key, we all love our setting sprays and mists and lets face it most of us just couldn't be without them now but locking in my lips and brows is something I didn't do until just recently!

Lipcote & Co's latest launch is Browcote*, a waterproof brow gel that locks in your brows during workouts and daily life, and it can be used on bare brows or on top of your usual brow make-up. To be honest I never wear my brows bare, I always need to do a little shaping and filling in so I use Browcote on top of my brow pencil or powder, this sets my brows into place like nothing else and the tiny little brush slicks through every single little brow hair leaving a fluffy more natural look to my brows which I adore! Don't worry about your brows going crispy or flaky either because that hasn't happened to me at all, they do feel a little textured but other than that they are set into place and ready to take on the day! I also love how this is a clear brow gel because it will literally suit everyone's brows and you don't have the worry of it being too dark or light for your brows!

If you want your favourite lip colour to last like nothing else - I'm talking even after eating, drinking and of course a little smooch then the original OG Lipcote* is where the parties at! This stuff brings back so many memories for me because me and my friends used to use Lipcote in high school to keep that 90's lip on all day, and truth be told I haven't used the stuff for a super long time until recently and as soon as I whacked it on my lips again it took me right back to those school days! If your new to Lipcote all you have to do to use it is apply your lipstick as normal then blot with a tissue and then repeat the process again; then evenly brush Lipcote over your lips and slightly beyond your lipstick and leave to set for a minute or so, then your lipstick will be transfer proof and water resistant, it will last longer and wont feather at all which is particularly good for darker colours and reds! The only niggle I would say is that my lips can become a little dry as the day goes on but other than that this stuff is pretty impressive! 

Have you tried Browcote yet beaut's or are you a long time lover of Lipcote? I'd love to know!

You can find Browcote for £6.99 HERE and Lipcote for £3.69 HERE.

KIKO Jelly Jungle Collection - Highlighter & Liquid Lipsticks Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

If your holding onto Summer for that little bit longer then the KIKO Jelly Jungle Collection is where the parties at! This collection is super fun and playful, full of colour and super affordable, I even think a couple of products I've been trying out could definitely transition through to Autumn and Christmas too!

Firstly I've been trying out three of the KIKO Jelly Jungle Liquid Lipsticks* (£8.90 each), I have the shades Hypnotic Fuchsia which is cool toned hot pink shade, Hefty Red which is honestly the most Christmassy red I've ever seen, I'm quite shook that it's within the summer collection to be honest because it's so festive! Finally I have Vibrant Burgundy which is a grundy - very autumnal looking - deep burgundy and I love it! The formula of these liquid lippies is lovely, their weightless and smooth on the lips, their extremely opaque and pigmented after one quick swipe, they smell of tropical Papaya which is divine and they all have the most amazing metallic sheen to them which is so eye catching! The only tiny negative I have about these liquid lippies is that they do take a little while to set and remain on the tacky side for a while so that's something to bare in mind, other than that they are awesome and the quality is amazing!  

Of course me being the highlighter addict that I am I just HAD to try a highlighter from this collection (I honestly have problems y'all), I opted for the Liquid Highlighter in the shade Flawless Gold (£8.90) which is bright, light gold that honestly looks like gold foil, it's stunning! The highlighter itself comes in a gloss-like tube with a doe-foot applicator which makes it easier to apply if your after control and precision! What I absolutely love about liquid highlighters is just how versatile they are and KIKO's offering certainly doesn't disappoint, you can literally use this bad boy in all the usual places you'd normally highlight like the cheekbones, down the nose and on the brow bone but you can also use this one across the eyelids, on your body and you could even mix it with your foundation if you'd like! The light liquid texture of this highlighter is so soft and velvety on the skin and blends out like a dream, it even has a tropical fruity scent which is just lush, and fear not it isn't super glittery, it contains minute gold flecks within it which are so pretty without leaving you looking like a disco ball he he!

You can find the KIKO Jelly Jungle Collection online HERE or in KIKO stores!
