I thought I'd add this box so that you get to feel for me and the posts before reading them in depth if you want to, I have a love for most things Disney (covering myself) I'm a qualified hairdresser and beautician (so hopefully I can give you some helpful tips) and love all things girly as well as the odd PS game thrown in the mix, I started this blog as I wanted somewhere I could voice my opinion as well as trying something new. My Blog is full of Disney, Monthly Favourites, Hauls, Reviews, Makeup looks, What's in my Makeup bag, Festive season posts and some Random ones here and there. so why not give me a follow and take a peek.....

My Highlighter Collection




My Highlighter Collection

I noticed my Highlighter Collection was growing so I thought I'd show all the ones I have, the ones I LOVE and the ones that just sit at the bottom of my makeup bag waiting for me to pick it up again, There is a mixture of Spend and Splurge and I've broken them Down into Creams, Powders and Liquids starting with the cheapest in that group to the most expensive. I'll be giving them all a rating out of 5.

Creams

Sleek Makeup Precious Metals Highlighting Palette - £9.99

Rating 3.5/5
I Like this Highlighter palette and on the main packaging it tells you the best place for each shade it is highly pigmentation and very metallic so it depends how reflective you want to be. It's a great travel size palette to take away with you.


NYX Professional Makeup Cream Highlight & Contour Palette in Medium - £12
Rating  3/5
So this handy NYX palette is easy to use it comes in light, medium and dark you get the contour and two highlighters one matte and one shimmer I like that it comes with both as sometimes you just want to brighten and not necessarily add shimmer. Another great size travel palette.

Powders

Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette £8
 
Rating 3.5/5
This is a great palette for it's price and for beginners I'd say as you have a couple of shades in the highlighter for you decide which is best for your skin tone also comes with a nice big mirror too, has too matte shades and two shimmers which I like the mix of both as you don't always want to use a shimmer shade.

Makeup Revolution Radiance Highlighter Palette - £8

Rating 3/5
3 super pigmented shimmery shades I really like the Makeup Revolution Brand it's a good price and great quality, you get 2 pink/white shades and one bronze shade comes with a big mirror so it's a good palette to take away.

Nip + Fab Highlighter Palette £15

Rating 4/5
All Shimmer Shades but a great mix of summer and winter colours, with price it works to £2.50 for each colour which I think is a great price all together and I really like the Nip + Fab skincare brand and I really like there new makeup range and this is no expectation.

NYX Professional Makeup Strobe of Genius illuminating Palette - £16

Rating 3.5/5
This is a Strobe palette but I use it for Highlighting cause to me it's pretty much the same thing, The bronzer shade in the middle is probably my favourite. It's highly pigmented don't need a lot for it to be effective. 

 NYX Professional Makeup Highlight & Contour Palette - £18

Rating 4.5/5
Love this palette as well as the extra shimmer shade which is one of my favourite shades, it comes with 3 mattes which is good for brightening areas. It's highly pigmented and is really easy to apply.


Urban Decay After Glow 8 Hour Powder Highlighter £21


Rating 4/5
Love this highlighters it's a beautiful pinky sliver shade with a slight orange tint and it's probably my most used powder. As it gives me a summer vibes and very much a summer glow.


Becca Limited Edition Shimmering Skin Perfector - Champagne Pop - £32




Rating 5/5

Love this one also another great summer highlight it's a beautiful 'champagne' colour even though it's my newest highlight I can already tell it's going to be another favourite, it lasts the whole day which is great and a major point when I buy any makeup product.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed - £32

Rating 5/5
This is very much a pink shade in first appearance but it is very sliver/bluey looking onces it's on and I love it don't need a lot for it to be effective either plus it has pretty packaging. Lasts all day easy to apply. Love it.


Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact £35


Rating 4/5
This was the first one I ever bought (think I got it before highlight began the big thing it is today) it's very pink looking but again it's more of a sliver pink then a pure pink when its on which makes it a great shimmer shade.

Liquids

Barekissed Illuminator in Monaco £8.99

Rating 3.5/5
Lovely Slivery tone I got this in a Christmas gift set last year. I like to use this type of highlighter when I don't wear a lot of makeup for a natural glow use it more in the summer as like everyone else my skin is a lot clear in summer then winter.


B. Sweet popping Candy Highlight Serum - £14.99

Rating 1/5
I do like this product but it is the one at the bottom of the bag it's really nice shimmer, great shade but because it's in serum balls that pop you get big clumps of the balls as they don't break up or crush smooth. Can't seem to find it anymore but Soap and Glory have brought something out that looks similar.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat -£25



Rating 5/5
Love this Highlighter I only use it for my brow bone and cupids bow. It's super shimmer and sparkly. I only use it on those areas cause it's a pen and quiet small. Easy applicator and great for highlighting small details.


Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Moonlight - £34 (seen as there is three of the same I'll write it all together at the bottom and write the different shades)
 
Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Celestial - £34
 


Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Halo - £34
Rating 4.5/5
I bought all three of these from Space N.K more on the pricey side but they work so well and it's easy to build it up to look more extra or can go for a more subtle look.
Moonlight is more of a bronzer summer shade.
Celestial is a sliver winter shade.
 Halo is a Holographic shimmer which I love gives me unicorn alien vibes.
 It's a 4.5 because of the applicator but that's just me being picky.

And One I'd Like to try is the Anastasia Beverly Hills range of highlighters.
Knowing me I will probably buy more Highlighters cause I'm slightly obssessed with that glow.
