MakeUp Revolution X Soph Highlighter Palette

I am a huge youtube fan, I watch minimum one hour of it a day and SophDoesNails has been a firm favourite of mine for quite a while! She is so unique, loveable and so talented with makeup so when she announced this collaboration with MakeUp Revolution I knew I had to support her and get myself something! 

Originally I had only purchased this highlighter palette but have since also bought the eyeshadow palette as I have been so impressed! 

Firstly, this palette cost £8.00 which honestly is mental for what you get. The packaging is lovely, same idea as all MakeUp Revolution palettes but in a gorgeous nude shade instead of the usual black and has Soph's signature on the front.

I really love it. Usually MakeUp Revolution palettes get so scratched up and look ten years old in a matter of hours but this palette doesn't do that at all. It looks so pristine still and much more expensive feeling than it actually is. 

Inside you get 8 shades, there are two different textures as well. Three are a more buttery pigmented formula and three are more powdery and natural. I do prefer the more buttery ones but both as great. The palette is also sort of split into two sections, half is aimed at pale girls and half for darker skinned ladies. I am pale but I do think I can comfortably use 6 out of 8. And the other two make nice eyeshadows so it's a win for me!

I adore that this palette can be used by anyone, ghostly pale to beautifully dark.

As you can see, all highlighters are so pigmented and all very different. There is so much variety! If you are new to makeup or new to highlight itself this is a great palette for you. Cheap and has a little of everything!

These four are probably my favourite ones, I love a golden/champagne shade and these all sit in that category for me.

I honestly couldn't choose a main fave but I have been reaching for these daily and also layering them to achieve even more looks!

This palette also includes two more unique shades in the pink and purple tones. Both are blooming glorious! So unique and pigmented, I have been using these but for me, they aren't everyday shades!

The two darker shades work really well as eyeshadows for me or I also like to gently layer them over my contour as a super shimmery bronzer! It can look intense but if your careful this works so well! 

Generally, I like to support youtubers I like by buying there products but somethings just don't live up. I did think this would be the case here but I was so wrong! 

This palette is a total babe!

Benefit Double The Lip!

These have been out for ages and I've always wanted to try one but I was worried it was just a fad and wouldn't actually be worth the money! 

Despite mostly glowing reviews, I had my doubts.

When I saw that a mini version was a free gift in Elle Magazine this month, I literally squealed as I threw it into my basket! People actually stares at me like I was mental. 

I'll be honest with you, I haven't even read the magazine and I probably won't but it was worth the £4.00 just try try this!

I got the shade Nude Scandal, not out of choice, it was just the only one available but luckily it is probably the shade I would have chosen! 

The idea of Double the lip is that the lip liner and lip stick is all in one tube so when you apply the lipstick, the outer area is a darker shade creating a lip liner look and the inner area is a lighter creamier lipstick. Intended to make lips look fuller and prolong the wear. 

I would say it does both these things so well! My lips look so much more plump and even with this one, this shade is super wearable and the product itself feels really comfortable on the lips and lasts a really long time! I am so impressed!

The packaging is lovely as well, stylists and simple, it was a twist up feature which makes use super easy which I appreciate! 

I think I will be getting a few more maybe for Christmas, if I can wait that long!
