Review: "Makeup Revolution" baked vivid highlighter

Hey beauties,

A healthy natural looking glow is what we all want while applying make-up. For that purpose we need a good highlighter. Now you all know, there are zillions of highlighter from different cosmetic companies are available in the market and it gets really difficult to choose the one appropriate for you. There are some of you who won't budge from their regular MAC's and THE BALM "Mary Louminizer's". And there are some beauties on budget who can't really afford to go that far off and spend a ton and just for them I have this review about the baked vivid highlighter from the house of Makeup Revolution cosmetics.


I had ordered it from the online shop kosmetik4less.de in the shade "golden lights". However, there are two more shades to choose from, namely, Peach lights and pink lights with peach and pink undertones respectively.

Coming to golden lights! 


Well in the pan it appear as a pearly white pressed powder with fine golden shimmer particles. It feels like satin and is quite good pigmented. You may use to highlight your inner corners of eyes, under brow bone (if you like shimmer there!) or you may even use it as an eyeshadow to add an extra bit of drama and oomph on your eyes.

Here are the swatches.

The one on the very left is just a single layer, in the middle are two layers and on the right is thrice the effect. So yo can see, it's easily build-able to give the optimal luminosity to your high points. I usually go with layering it twice! 

It has a fairly good longevity with lasting up to 5-6 hours and afterwards I just took off my makeup. On my warm skin tone, it does wonders and that too at a small price of 3.79 € for 7.5 g of product. At present it's my constant companion and use it every single day I wear make-up. Honestly, after having it, I don't find the urge to buy the higher end highlighters.

I recommend it highly to all you lovely beauties who are just freshers on the makeup side as well as to those who want to add on some more glamour to their collection. And my budget beauties, no I'm not forgetting you at all. You won't ever regret buying it...Trust me! :-)

Review: "Blushing Hearts" I Heart Makeup

Hey beauties,

Last week I received my order from kosmetik4less.de. I have already posted a Picture of the products on my Instagram. I was super excited to try these new products and one of them was "Blushing Hearts", a triple baked blusher from the company "I Heart Makeup". This was the first time I actually bought the product from the brand "I Heart Makeup". Best to my knowledge, it is a sister brand of london-based make-up company "Makeup Revolution". Honestly speaking, surfing through their website, I just fell in love with the sweet heart-shaped packaging apart from the beautiful pink tones of the blusher. So, I decided to gave it chance and bought it.



SO here are the facts,

As you all can see the blusher came in a beautiful heart shape cardboard packaging in gold (at the bottom) and lovely pink (top) with gold detailing. It's an instant eye-catcher and I just love the packaging. But there is more to blusher than just packaging. The beautiful pink toned blush has three different shades of pink with varied intensities. Each one is pigmented enough and has a decent shimmer. Although, I believe pigmentation could be enhanced because for my warm skin tone, I really need to press into the blusher to get a that luminous appearance. But those of you are on the fairer side or with pink undertone, a light swipe may be enough for that glamorous and bright look.


Here's swatches for all the three individual shades (in day light). 


You may use the shades independently or swirl around to get a flush of pink. For me it's the combination of all three that works wonder and gives that rosy colour on the cheeks which actually freshens and enlightens up the face.

Yahhhh my dearies, priced at 6.99€ for 10g, it's definitely a bargain for the quality of product you get. Also, from different platforms, I learnt that it is a dupe for "Two faced" blushes. In terms of packaging they do look quite similar. But I cannot provide you a direct comparison as I don't own the "Two Faced" blushes. And I don't think I need to invest ca. 30 € for quite sometime (guess so!).

All in all, I am glad to have this product in my vanity and ready to explore the whole world of "Makeup Revolution". I am sure I can definitely see some of their amazing products (like iconic palettes or the lipsticks). Well, as in when I grab them, I'll update you guys here. 

Till then...Keep smiling! :-)
