KIKO MILANO // Radiant Touch Creamy Stick Highlighter




Since KIKO opening in Milton Keynes I can't stop myself from popping in and picking up more and more products. Lately my entire makeup bag is pure KIKO and I am loving it! Highlight is something that can either make or break your makeup look. Too much and you can end up looking a little bit like a shiny egg. (My first experience with a power highlight ended up a bit like that) I love a good highlight on my cheek bones. With an unfortunate chubby cheek thing going on, a little contour and highlighter never goes a miss with me!


This highlighter is so creamy and easy to apply. I do still apply this to a brush just because I feel it can leave a bit of an obvious line on my face if I don't blend it in enough. Luckily for me it is definitely quite a subtle shimmer on the tops of the cheek bones which I prefer. I feel this would be a great highlighter for you to start off with if you are a beginner. The lasting power of this highlighter is also something I am really impressed with. I feel like when I apply it in the morning I don't need to retouch throughout the day. (100% a good highlight for a night out!) 

KIKO do two shades. I picked up the colour GOLD. I felt like the ROSE colour was too pink for my complexion and looked more like a cream blush. You can pick it up here. I think for £8.50 it is a real steal. 


Anyone else tried any KIKO products?

Keepin' Those Cheeks Flushed


Urban Decay are renown for their palettes and this one does not disappoint. I picked up this one quite a while back when I went to Paris and have used it so much ever since. I find it so handy to have a tri of three all in one place. It contains a blush, highlighter and bronzer for your face and cheeks. With four different pallets there is a shade for everyone to enjoy. You can pick them up for £23.50 from the Urban Decay website or some selected stores.




I picked up the Naked Flushed in Strip. Compared to the others I would say this one has a much darker mauve pink blush with no glitter or metallic look too it which is what I prefer in a blush like this. The pigment of this blush is insane. You hardly have to sweep your brush to get enough to cover both cheeks which is really good as you can build up the colour more and more. 

The highlighter is a dream. It makes you cheekbones all glowy and beautiful. It has undertones of gold in this highlighter which reflects beautifully in the light. I love nothing more than a highlighted cheek.

The bronzer I would say is a tad too dark for my complexion but by being careful I can defo make it work. *Inserts wide eye emoji* I would say this would be a lot more suited to a more tanned skin tone and as I sometimes fake tan this one does work for me on nights out!

Anyone else tried any of the other Flushed pallets?

Makeup Revolution // Golden Sugar Palette



The Golden Sugar Ultra Blush Palette was released at the beginning of this year and is one of three Makeup Revolution's Ultra Blush palettes. All of the palettes cost £6.00 each which is amazing considering they contain 8 different blush, bronze and highlight colours.


I am completely in love with the three bronze colours in this palette as I feel they really suit my skin tone. They are all completely different shades and finish. One has a shimmery glow to it as it contains some highlight which looks amazing on the tops of my cheek bones. I am a sucker when it comes to the matte shade as it reminds me of Benefits 'Hoola'.

The blushes are very light on the skin and aren't as pigmented as I normally go for. This means you have to build up the colour on your cheek by reapplying the shade. I love the dusty pink colour. I looks very natural on the skin unlike darker pinks which don't suit me as well.

The highlighters in this palette are gorgeous and really make a difference in my complexion. I feel the slightly bronzed highlighter works best as it doesn't leave the dreaded white line across my cheek! (Yes I have been a victim of this is many of my early nights out-.-)

Over all the palette is beautiful and I am definitely going back to Superdrug to pick up some more. The value for money you get with the Makeup Revolution items is astonishing. They are such good quality for such a little price! My fav.

Any Makeup Revolution beauty finds you've tried? Let me know in the comments!

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Highlighter // Review

Hello lovlies! As promised I am uploading weekly again, yay! This post is going to be linked with other posts I do in the upcoming weeks as I brought a few new MAC products and want to review each one separately:)


When I went to Oxford a few weeks ago I popped into the rather large MAC counter in Debenhams. Unfortunately, where I live doesn't have a MAC counter which means I either have to go to MK centre or order online. (I hate ordering makeup online unless it's a repurchase!) My boyfriend actually brought the two products I got as part of my Christmas present. One of these items was the Mineralize Skinfinish Powder in the shade Soft & Gentle.


I love this shade so much simply because it isn't too dark so it can be used either lightly as a highlighter for the cheekbones or can be built up for more of a bronzing look. The shimmer is so intense in this product and adds such a natural glow when caught in the light, Below are two images; One taken with the flash and the other without just to show the shimmer better.


The power had a high metallic finish on the skin and feels so smooth. It's known for its velvet finish which is one of the reasons I chose this product. I use to add definition mainly to the tops of my cheekbones but also down the bridge of my nose and even under my eyebrows to give a polished finish.

I can't recommend this product enough. It's a perfect highlighter! As always I love discovering new products so if you are loving anything at the moment feel free to share with me!:D
