Kiko Rebel Romantic Lipstick Review

I have a slight obsession with all things rose gold so when I saw these in the Kiko shop in Brighton I had to buy them! At £6.90 each they're about the same price as your average drugstore lipstick. However, with their rose gold metal packaging they do have a sense of luxury about them, which I love! They also have a magnetic clasp which I've never seen before on a lipstick.

There were only 6 shades available in this range so I went for a mauve nude and a red wine shade. 

These lipsticks apply very smoothly and have a lovely finish. They also stayed on pretty well all day, even after eating! I only had to touch up once, which I was very impressed with. 

Like any lipstick I would recommend lining the lips before so it looks smooth and doesn't bleed. I believe they have matching lipliners to go with all their lipsticks in this range!

Make Up Revolution Baked Highlighter Review

I own the Make Up Revolution contour palette and as I love the highlighters in there, I thought I would try some others out and see what they're like. 

At £3 each they are very affordable yet are still a brilliant product. To be honest I've only just got into the whole highlighter thing and I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on one. 

These highlighters are very pigmented, especially Golden Lights. They blend well and also are very appealing to look at. When I first swatched these I was very surprised at the quality of these products! 

Golden Lights

At first glance this looks like a yellowy white colour, but when applied it's actually a beautiful gold champagne colour! I was so surprised at the pigmentation of this product and soon found out that a little goes a long way.

Peach Lights 

This shade gives a more natural highlight compared to the golden one. As you can see it's not as pigmented as well, so if you're new to all this highlight business then this might be a good ones to start out with!

Milani Colour Statement Lipstick Review

First of all my camera's broken so I apologise that these pictures aren't very good quality. I'm using the camera on my tablet so fingers crossed that they don't look too bad!

Anyway, ever since I went to America in August I've been a massive fan of Milani Cosmetics. I really wish we could get them in the shops here in the UK but I am grateful I can get them online. 

For me, Milani's products have the feel and look of a luxury brand but at very affordable prices. Their Colour Statement Lipsticks are £5 each and come in a range of different colours. I picked up a standard warm toned nude and a darker mauve nude. The formula is very creamy and hydrating, whilst also having very good staying power. 

I personally feel that there's not much in it between these lipsticks and my MAC lipsticks. At a 1/3 of the price, I know which ones I'd rather collect!

42 Rose Femme

This is my favourite out of the two and is my go to colour at the moment! It's a perfect shade for this time of year, and it's not too dark that you can't wear it during the day. This also stayed on pretty well whilst I was eating my lunch the other day, so it definitely has good staying power!

55 Bahama Beige 

This is quite a warm toned nude and comes off almost orangey which I'm not too keen on. On it's own it doesn't really suit me but with the right lip liner I love it!

MUA Single Eyeshadow Review

MUA are another affordable make up brand that I love, especially their eyeshadow palettes. 

I wanted to add more single eyeshadows to my collection and at £1 each, I couldn't say no to these. I purchased 5 to try out, sticking to my usual favourite colours. After trying these I will definitely be purchasing more!

Honestly, these eyeshadows are amazing. They are so pigmented and almost buttery to touch. They blend really well and they have a kind of foil effect. 

I am seriously impressed with these eyeshadows. At £1 I was expecting something that applies patchy with very little pigment, but I can not rate these eyeshadows highly enough. 

I believe there are 34 in the collection, and they also have a matte range which I am excited to try out. In my opinion these are actually better than some high end eyeshadows that I own! Comment below if you've tried these and let me know what you think of them!
