BEAUTY: NIP + FAB HIGHLIGHTING PALETTE STROBOSCOPIC REVIEW


Last month I was sent loads of goodies from Nip + Fab, you can see what I was sent here! I have been loving the range and i've been testing bits so I can review them on my blog. 

Today I'm going to review the Highlighting Palette which i've pretty much used every single day for the last month or so. The palette contains 3 bronzer shades and 3 highlighting shades. They are gorgeous shades, My favourites have to be champagne (the middle top) and Rose Gold ( the middle bottom) they are just gorgeous!! 

The pigmentation is amazing! You only need a little bit and it goes a long way. They are really easy to apply, I use a normal powder brush to apply the bronzer and it's easy to build up depending on what look you want to go for. I really like the middle shade which is Rose gold but you have a lighter and a darker shade again depending on how sunkissed you want to look. The bronzers all have a slight shimmers/ strobe to them which makes you look super healthy and bronzed. 

The highlighters are gorgeous, before I got this palette I was using Becca Champagne Pop and I have been reaching for this palette everyday and my sister comments on my highlighter every time I see her. The champagne colour is gorgeous! Theres a white/ lighter shade and also a more golder shade. 

They last all day and as I said are easy to apply and build up, amazing pigmentation and colour payoff. So impressed and such a bargain for £15! Avaliable from Superdrug.

BEAUTY: MY EVERYDAY MAKE UP


Today I thought i'd share some of my everyday make up with you as I can't remember the last time I showed you my make up or actually featured any beauty for that matter. 

Base: I'm still loving Nars Sheer Glow, this has been a firm favourite of mine for a while now (it's about to run out so recommend any drug store dupes) I've been using Collection lasting perfection concealer as usual. I've been using the Laura Mercier Shine Control setting powder for a little while now. It mattify's the skin without making it look cakey.  On days where I need a little more coverage I use Bareminerals Mineral Veil to set my make up as this gives extra coverage and sets my foundation. 

To highlight i'm still loving the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop! I also use Topshop Glow for my brow bone and cupids bow.

I have been using the NYX Brow pencil and NYX Tame and Frame on my Brows and finish with Soap and Glory Archery Voluboost gel* which sets them and makes them amazing. 

I have always been a faithful to Urban Decay Primer Potion and repurchase it all the time! It's the best eyeshadow primer! My eyeshadow lasts all day and looks amazing. I use it every single day!

My favourite eyeshadow palettes right now are the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics palette which I pretty much reach for everyday and the Morphe 35T Palette which is amazing, my sister got it me for my birthday and I use it all the time, it's such a great all round eyeshadow palette.

My favourite lipsticks right now have both been Mac matte shades. I'm loving Brave and Taupe. I always go for these aswell as Velvet Teddy however i've tried to use some of my others as I need to repurchase Velvet Teddy soon.

I haven't really been wearing blusher much recently and i've been trying to use up bits of old bronzer before I buy a new one. I have a old Nars palette that has different blushers and it has the laguna bronzer in too so i've been reaching for this. 

I've been using these brushes by Zoeva that my sister got me for Christmas, they are so pretty! I've been some of these for the last week or so and they are amazing, i'm so happy with them.

BEAUTY: BECCA JACLYN HILL SHIMMERING SKIN PERFECTOR IN CHAMPAGNE POP



I have to say I am a sucker for a blogger hype, I heard so many people raving about this and I just needed to try it! My local Space NK were out of stock but I was sent a voucher to spend online and my £5 off reward was going to run out so I took the plunge and ordered it. I also picked up the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel so keep an eye out for that review coming soon. At £32 it's alot more than I tend to spend on a highlighter. I have to say the box and packaging are lovely, and when you open that little compact you are not left disapointed. the product is so pretty such a gorgeous shimmery golden shade. It's very pigmented so you only need a tiny bit, I use the Real Techniques Tapered blush brush to apply it to my cheekbones. Just one swipe across the compact and onto the cheeks is the ideal amount. It's such a gorgeous colour, a really nice golden colour which will be absolutely perfect in the summer months when i've got more of a glow! It's a really beautiful highlight and is perfect for everyday or going out as it's easy to build up. I wasn't sure if this was going to be worth the price tag but it's worth every penny. I reach for it every single day and I really do love it. I'm not sure if I would purchase it again but If I had a discount/ voucher I would really consider buying it again. I have been using this for about a month now everyday and it doesn't even look like it's touched so I'm hoping a little goes a long way and it lasts a long time.
