My Top Highlighter Picks Under £7

 Highlighters are probably one of my favourite make-up products. For years now I have been obsessed with getting a pretty glowing complexion and the amount of products I have bought, tried and tested is endless! 
Some of the best highlighters I own and use most seem to be ones which don't break the bank - which is a total win-win situation right?
I've picked out 5 of my favourites to chat about today... and they are all under £7 ... most of them under £5! *Barry Bargain Alert!*
I've choosen a mix of brands plus a mix of both liquids and powders, as I know some of you are more of a fan of one than the other!
First up my ultimate favourite - 1. Seventeen's Skin Wow! Highlighter - £5.99. This is a product which I have raved and raved about since it was released in 2013 now! The amount of friends I've made buy this is countless now haha! The bottle of this stuff literally lasts me for months on end even though I use it daily and it is a great dupe for Benefit's High Beam at just the fraction of the price!
The most expensive of the bunch is the 2. Sleek Contour Kit - £6.49. Being a bronzer and a highlighter you can forgive it for being a little pricier than the others I'm featuring. I've already gone through one of these kits and had to buy a replacement, so for me this is a keeper! With the amount of different products I own and test to use one up completely is not something that happens regularly. The highlighter is a gorgeous alongside the matte bronzer, it's a lovely peachy shade, great for summer.
Next is the newest on the block which I actually did a review on not too long ago. 3. Rimmel Good To Glow Highlighter is only £4.99, a great price for one of the best high street brands in the UK. The shade I have is Notting Hill Glow and it is a lovely pearly liquid highlighter which I have been wearing more or less everyday under my foundation to highlighter certain areas, if you are a Rimmel fan this is a must-have for your collection.
The last two are both from one of the most popular bargain brands out there at the moment - Make-Up Revolution. 
Number 4. is the Make-Up Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter and at only £3 is it the cheapest product. The shade I've shown here is Pink Lights and my favourite of the bunch. The lightest and pinkest of the lot this is a beaut... although the product pattern itself is a bit off-putting... let me know what you think it looks like.
Lastly we have 5. the Make-Up Revolution Radiant Lights Highlighter* - £5. These super pigmented powders are amazing value for money and with a range of shades there is a highlight for every skin tone. Pictured is the shade Exhale, a pretty creamy colour perfect for contouring aswell as highlighting.

What are your favourite highlighters? Do you like buying cheaper brands aswell as high end?

Make-Up Revolution Haul

If you haven't heard of Make-Up Revolution yet then.... where on earth have you been? After trying out a few products a couple of months ago I was long over-due to place a cheeky order with the new bargain brand!

After a long, long browse I narrowed my shopping basket to these few beauties - I literally could buy everything... and I'm sure overtime I probably will!
Lips
First up I'll share with you the lip products I ordered - everyone knows I have a lipstick/lipgloss/lipanything addiction so it was seriously hard to pick only a few to buy at first!
Bottom photo left to right 
Amazing Sheer Lipgloss Tube - Hush Hush (Top left photo)
I have one of these tubes already in the shade 'Baby Try' and love it! Normally I'm not a fan of tube lipglosses but these are great and this one has a lovely sugary scent!
Salvation Intense Lacquer - Gave You All My Love
These remind me of Rimmel's Apocalips - a gorgeous thick lipgloss with amazing highly pigmented colour and this one has a great shimmer to it too!
Happy Lips Amazing Care Lipstick - Love pink! (Top right photo)
I was a bit dubious about buying this as I wasn't sure weather it would be a normal lipbalm product which I already have a million of but after trying it out quickly I have been so pleasantly surprised! This stuff feels amazing (funnily enough that's the name of the product!) it has argan oil in it which is pretty cool and it gives a great colour aswell as fully hydrating my lips!

How I only bought 3 lipsticks I don't know..... I'm already twitching to buy more!
These are the 'Amazing Lipsticks' and they are only £1 each! Total bargain!
I picked up (left to right top photo) Beloved, Dazzle & Depraved!
These are a gorgeous trio of colours and for £1 I cannot express how much you need these in your life! 
Face
Bronze Shimmer Highlight 
This was so much bigger than I was expecting which is awesome - talk about more for my money! This has three lovely shades though it adnd looks like it is going to be perfect for summer - cannot wait to take it on holiday with me!
Vivid Baked Highlighter - Pink Lights
Now I already owned one of these highlighters and loved it so much I have to buy another one (I now only have one of them left to buy which I can imagine will be very soon) These are only £3 each and a total steal - the perfect powder highlight!
The lovely people at MUR actually contacted me when they knew I was going to make an order and asked if I wanted to try out one of their NEW palettes as part of my order for no charge! Obviously this was a huge yes please!! I have been seeing so much about these palettes and it really was a right toughy trying to pick one!
Cover & Conceal Concealer Palette - Light-Medium*
I thought this looked perfect for sorting out an imperfections and may have a go at some contouring with it!
Eyes
Lastly we have eye products!
Baked Eyeshadow - Pure and Innocent
This gorgeous neutral/bronzed selection is my idea of heaven. I live for my naked palette and these colours are right up there with them! I am so so chuffed with it and can't wait to try it out properly!
Focus & Fix Eye Primer - Original
I have been running out of eye primers to use so obviously buying another one was already on the cards - this feels like it is going to be great, can't wait to try it out along the baked eyeshadows!

So there you have it they are the 11 items I recently picked up from Make-up Rev!
You can find everything you've seen here on the Make-up Revolution official website - www.makeuprevolutionstore.com or Superdrug.
What are your favourite products from MUR so far? What should I buy next?!

Make-Up Revolution : Vivid Baked Highlighter in Peach Lights Review

Finally I have tried out that new bargain make-up brand on the market - Make-up Revolution! If you haven't heard of them yet then well... where on earth have you been? Gorgeous products for tiny price tags - my sort of thing!
This is the first, of what I think will be many, reviews of one of their best selling products.
 I have always been addicted to highlighting products - anything that can give me a healthy glow makes me happy.
I've been through so many highlighting products over the last few years I've lost count, powders, creams, liquids - there are so many on the market and I'm a sucker for all of them!

This one from MUR is a lovely pressed powder in a cute little compact and has the teeny price tag of just £3! (Seriously that's like cheaper than a sandwich in some places!)
There are 3 shades available in these highlighters, peach lights, pink lights & golden lights. 
Peach lights is a lovely pinky-white silver colour - does that even make sense? 
This stuff looks gorgeous both under and over foundation and just a tiny bit gives the skin a super duper sheen and pretty natural glow.
Make-Up Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter*
I am in love with the pattern on the product - for the price you would expect just a plain flat product plonked in a compact - but this has such a pretty style, it reminds me of a pretty seashell.
The size of the product is also amazing for the price, needing just a little sweep of it to create a gorgeous glow this compact will last months and months! I have been using this to highlight my cheek bones and brow bones and it is fab for both an everyday natural wear and any full-face look!

Make-up Revolution have some right bargains (and some amazing dupes.. there I said it!) in their collection and I have been so impressed with the products that I have tried from them so far - so keep your eyes peeled for more reviews on them coming soon!

Have you tried anything from MUR yet? What are your favouite products?
