Revolutions Skin Kiss in Ice Kiss costs £5 from Revolution Beauty or from your local stockists. It’s Vegan and gluten free.

The packaging has changed from the original reviews, there’s now no longer a mirror just a clear top. The rose gold base is still there. I am a little sad that you can’t get hold of that compact now. This version feels a lot cheaper.

It’s a golden highlighter that slight particles of glitter in it. When you first use this it has a layer on the top and can be quite hard to get a good glow. However once this is gone you can glow greater than the gods to your hearts content.

You can of course make this a more natural glow by being lighter handed as you place it. The only barrier to a lit from within glow can be the glitter contained within. It’s not a huge problem but this one is better saved for your glows days.

I like it inspite of it being more yellow toned (as yellow toned highlighters don’t tend to suit me). It is however huge (130g), so while it’s great value, if you get bored easily this one might not be for you.

If you’d like on you can get it at Revolution Beauty for £5.

Let’s say hello to the Violet Chocolate Palette from I Heart Revolution. It costs £8.99 from Revolution Beauty online or instore at your local Superdrug.

I bought this palette back when it was first released, so I’ve had a little time to play with it and really work out if I like it or not.

As you can see it swatches beautifully as Revolution always does. Good swatches though is not always an indication of a good palette however in this case it is. The shades are nicely pigmented and blend well.

There’s a nice even spread of colours in this palette to create an almost unlimited variation of looks. While perhaps personally  I’d like to have seen a couple of contrasting colours, this palette is great if you’re unsure of purples. It’s great even if you are a lover of purples too! You can do a neutral eye with a pop of purple or a full on purple eye should you chose to.

It’s also pretty good for both the warm and cooler skinned toned amongst us, having both of those tones in here. It’s a very versatile palette and I really like it.

Get yours at Revolution Beauty for only £8.99.

Part of the 2018 Haunted Halloween range from Revolution Beauty is a set of 4 liquid highlighters in skull-shaped bottles. They cost £5 each and have 13ml with a 12-month shelf life.

Quite frankly I bought these for the bottle because LOOK AT IT. OMG, it’s so cute!

Okay so you and I might have different ideas of cute but I think it’s awesome. I might not be a fan of liquid highlighters but I had to get all of these.

There’s 4 of them. Before we get started there’s a little dropper to get the liquid out. It’s not my favourite but you don’t need much to get a good splash of highlighter.

Blood of my Enemies is described as a red shimmer and that’s very accurate.

Envy is described as a white highlight with a green shift. That’s very accurate.

Lover’s Wrath is described as an icy white with a purple-pink undertone. In real life, you can see the pink more than the purple in it.

Paranormal is described as an icy white, even though it has more of a slight golden tint.

They’re all very pretty. These are quite glittery, so if you’re not into that these might not be for you. My favourite is, of course, the green.

Now if you’re into liquid highlighters and ones with fine glitter you’re going to love these. However, I’m not and I don’t love them. Yes, I’ll use them but you might just want to pick your favourite colour.

One last thing to note is that Blood of my Enemies does stain the skin. Now that’s not really an issue unless you’re going bare-faced the next day. It’s worth being aware of though. It was only on my arm to take the picture so the stain might be worse if you wear it all night.

If you’d like one of these they’re available at Revolution Beauty and Superdrug for £5 each.

Beautiful Darkness is the Vegan palette from the Halloween range for 2018. It contains a set of 12 deep colours perfect for creating your Halloween night look.

You can get yours from Revolution Beauty or Superdrug for £6. There’s 12 shadows, 4 of which are shimmers and the rest mattes.  2 larger shades at 1.8g each and 10 at 1.5g each. The palette has a 12-month expiry date once opened.

I love the box, which is why it’s pictured on the right. I also love the fact it’s not matte black when you take it out of the box, it’s burgundy so easy to spot amongst your other Revolution palettes.

There are two larger shades that are lighter, so great for setting your shadows is you’re of a lighter skin tone. There’s also a green shift shimmer, which is very much like Creep from the Obsession Be Very Afraid palette. I can’t you how much I love this shade. It really makes a look pop. All of these are lightly grey toned, so perfect for Halloween.

• Apparition – Tombstone grey, matte finish
• Demon – red, matte finish
• Possessed – chocolate brown, matte finish
• Nightmare – mustard yellow, matte finish
• Tainted – black, matte finish
• Poison – grey shimmer with a green shift
• Sinister – dark brown, matte finish
• Horror – purple, matte finish
• Dead Rose – red shimmer
• Corrupted – yellow gold shimmer
• Torment – emerald green shimmer
• Spirit – cream, matte finish

I really love this palette and it’s only £6. The quality is there for the price. If you’d like one get it at Revolution Beauty and Superdrug now!

 

 

The Haunted Halloween 2018 collection from Revolution Beauty keeps on coming with a set of 5 lipsticks. Each cost £4, have 3.2g of product and a 12-month shelf life.

I love the packaging on these The white skulls and red flowers are on a sticker, but in a way that’s a good thing. Once it starts getting scuffed you’ll be able to remove it. The small pot of colour at the end also makes each colour easy to spot in your collection.

 

Each colour also has a super cute skull cut into the bullet.

 

I mean how cute is that?

So let’s go onto the colours themselves because as much as obsessing over packaging is fun what we really want is good colours that work right?

• Sinister Seduction – coral light pink
• Corpse Bride – purple toned pink
• Blood Lust – blue based red
• Vampire’s Thrust – berry toned red
• Captivating Curse –  black

They’re all described as matte shades and I personally don’ t think that’s true. They’re more satin finish, excluding the black, which has definite shine. Unsurprisingly the lighter shades have better and more opaque coverage. Captivating Curse is not opaque and that was the best swatch I could get without a liner underneath. So I’d definitely advise liner underneath for a fully black lip.

They’re not bad, in fact, they’re great for the price. Revolution does better lipsticks for this price point but for a cheap Halloween lipstick, they’re still good. I’ll probably be passing on Vampire’s Thurst and Captivating Curse but the others I’ll wear.

If you’d like to grab one or more of these they’re available at Superdrug (currently on 3 for 2) or Revolution Beauty for £4 each.

Edit: It came to my attention that this was blank when published. I do not know why that happened.

Haunted Lights is the newest version of the Halloween highlighter from Revolution beauty. It’s available at Revolution Beauty and Superdrug for £4 each. It has g and has a 12-month shelf life.

As you can see it’s the same design as last year but this time the undertone of the highlighter is different. It’s green this year. It’s still got the white cast to this so if you’re of a deeper skin tone this might not be for you.

I think that’s much more Halloween appropriate. Great for that witchy highlight or other spooky monsters.

You can’t really see it in the swatch but there are microfine bits of glitter in this highlighter as there was last year. So if you’re not into glittery highlighter this might not be for you. However they don’t tend to fall onto the face, so that’s a plus.

When you first get it there is a top layer, possibly from the pressing that means you might not get quite a strong highlight like the one in my swatch. If you rub that away you can then glow greater than the gods to your heart’s content.

 

It’s available at Revolution Beauty and Superdrug for £4 each.

 

It’s the month of Halloween. Yes, the month of Halloween and it’s time to get your spook on. Obsession has got you covered this year with a couple of rather lovely palettes.

They cost £5 each and are available from Revolution Beauty or Boots. They both have 8 x 1.6g of product and have 6 different eyeshadows and 2 pressed glitters. Both are also Vegan.

If In Doubt Be A Unicorn

The Unicorn trend refuses to die here and I’m very much okay with that. This particular palette boasts holographic lettering on the front and some pretty pastel colours on the inside, all in a purple box.

All the colours are pigmented and blendable. The glitters are also brilliant but you need to either apply them with a finger or sponge tip applicator.

The only downside is some of them are very similar on the eye. Alternative and Entranced can get lost if you blend a little too much and Eternal and Magic dust can dupe one another.

• Alternative – Matte Baby Pink
• Magic Dust – Pink Champagne Shimmer
• Immortal – White Iridescent Glitter (Green, Pink Shift)
• Entranced – Warm Mid Pink
• Creature – Pressed Pink Gold Glitter
• Unconventional – Matte Warm Purple
• Elixir – Cool Cream Shimmer
• Eternal – Champagne Shimmer

I like this palette, it’s a pretty pastel palette with lovely shades. It is however not a one and done palette. You’re definitely going to need something to team with this for a finished look. There are not enough deep colours for a finished look but as a compliment, I think it’s perfect.

Be Very Afraid

Much more of a Halloween toned palette is the Be Very Afraid Palette. It’s got some lovely blood red foil letters on the top.

As with the Unicorn palette the colours are pigmented and blendable. The glitters are also brilliant but you need to either apply them with a finger or sponge tip applicator.

This one has a nice spread of colours that are really godo for a sunken eye look for even a full on glam look. Vampire or zombie, you’re very covered here.

• No Sleep – Soft Matte Plum
• Spooked – Matte Vivid Rust
• Panic – Gold Pressed Glitter
• Corrupt – Matte Black
• Errie – Champagne Shimmer
• Creepy – Gunmetal Shimmer with Green Shift
• Petrify – Matte Deep Plum
• Desecrate – Red Pressed Glitter

This one is a definitely one and done palette. There’s quite a combination of looks that can be done with this palette and actually it’s a really good complient to it’s sister.

Of the two, I prefer the Be Very Afraid Palette. It’s much more the tone of the season. If you’d like to get one they’re £5 at Revolution Beauty or Boots.

Which one is your fav?
