Barry M‘s Holographic eye toppers cost £4.99 from your local stockist. This is one of those products that despite being labelled holographic is more duo chrome. There are 4 colours in this range.

• Supernova is a green/gold shift with a blue base
• Asteroid is a blue/purple shift with a slight green sheen
• Luna is a blue/purple shift with a blue base
• Star Dust is a Purple/pink shift.

They dry down on the eye for all-day wear. I did find that they would move the colour I used as my base shadow if I was a little too heavy handed on the application. However, given the shine, you really couldn’t tell unless you were going to be checking out the colour of my iris.

They’re sheer on the first coat but if you do let them dry they will take a second coat that will be much more opaque. That does mean they can be used alone if you so wish. Of course being cream they don’t really blend out, so more suited to cut creases but they’re incredibly pretty.

They’re quite a good dupe for Lime Crime’s Diamond Dews, just with less giltter. It’s a shame the range is so limited in colour. I do like these.

So we’ve got the magical lips, now we need a highlight to go along with it. Fortunately, I Heart Revolution has got you covered. Stay tuned to the end of the post for a giveaway.

There are three different highlighters in different shades for each of the mystical creatures. All cost £5 each and are available from RevolutionBeauty or Superdrug.  They’re all packed in cardboard hearts with a gradient of colours that mix to make a unique highlighter shade. They’re also all Vegan.

Dragon

 

The Dragon highlighter is a collection of red and golden highlighter shades that combine into a beautiful golden highlight. This is way too dark for my skin but is perfect for deeper skin tones.

Mermaid

 

The Mermaid highlighter is a collection of green and purple shades that combine into a pretty peach highlighter. Again just a touch too dark for me but great for light to medium skin tones.

Unicorn

 

The Unicorn highlighter is a pastel rainbow of shades with a white base that combines to an ethereal blue highlight. This one is perfect for fair to light skin tones.

I like these highlighters, especially the Unicorn one. They’re pretty and quite unique. I find the sheen on them doesn’t really emphasise my skin texture either. You can, of course, make the tone of them slightly different depending on where you place the brush into the highlighter. The choice is yours, there are so many variations.

So onto the UK only giveaway. I am giving away the Mermaid and Dragon highlighters used in this post as they’re both too dark for me.
