I Heart Makeup Dragon and Unicorn Heart Highlighters.

Another high quality and affordable Makeup Brand I have recently discovered is, I Heart Makeup which is available to buy online and in Superdrug stores. There are so many beautiful products to choose from, which brings me to my current favourites; the mythical creature highlighters! Currently, I Heart Makeup have released three shades in the collection and I am fortunate enough to have two; the Dragon Heart and the Unicorn Heart.

As somebody who loves all things from magical fairy tales, these highlighters are an absolute dream to me and I think it’s an amazing idea! I really hope more are added to the collection, maybe a Phoenix or Pixie Heart? However, for now I will keep the focus to the highlighters that actually exist!

I’d been after the Unicorn Heart for quite a few weeks and it was regularly sold out in Superdrug. Thankfully, my mum was an absolute sweetheart, (as usual) and managed to get me one for my Birthday. The Unicorn Heart features a rainbow style highlight, with five different shades; lilac, blue, green, yellow and orange. A large spectrum of colours and I will warn you, if you’ve not used a rainbow highlighter before, you may feel a bit intimidated! However, fear not – each shade can be worn individually as well as all five being used together – there is always more than one option.

Furthermore, if rainbow colours aren’t your usual style, then the Dragon Heart may be your preferred choice! As soon as I discovered there was a Dragon Heart available, I had to add it to my collection – mostly because I wanted to feel like Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. The Dragon Heart also features five shades; red, pink, gold, nude an yellow. I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t usually go for the warmer tones as I don’t feel they necessarily suit my skin tone – but the packaging and concept won me over! Luckily, I do actually like this product and it has opened me up to trying other shades that in the past I probably would have ignored.

The best way to apply this product – and any highlighter for that matter, is by using a specific fan brush which is perfect for creating that much wanted glittery glow! At just £4.99/£5.00, the Heart Highlighter’s are incredibly affordable as well as great quality – I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised! It’s amazing how beautiful the packaging is for such a good price, it’s definitely something you want to keep on display at your vanity table.

For the photos in this review, I decided to wear both the Unicorn and Dragon’s Heart Highlighters at the same time, one side of my face with the Unicorn shade and the other with the Dragon Shade. As you can see there is only a subtle change and the difference is more noticeable in reality. The left side of my face I applied the Unicorn, which is a cool shade and the right shade I used the Dragon, which is a much warmer shade. Ultimately, I think you can see the glow and that’s what matters!

I truly love how each heart captures the vision of it’s mythical creature and it could be my favourite collectible makeup currently available! Since buying the Unicorn and Dragon, I’ve now discovered that a Mermaid’s Heart is also available by I Heart Makeup and as I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember, (The Little Mermaid and Splash, anyone?) I hope to one day make the duo a trio! Have you got any of the Heart Highlighters? If so, what’s your favourite and why?

Makeup Obsession Highlighters.

Once again, another one of my beautiful friends, the gorgeous Demi, introduced me to the amazing Brand that is; Makeup Obsession. They produce a unique style of products, in the fact that all of them are in compact form and the highest priced item is only £10! Also, each compact has the option to fit into a beautiful palette case, which are available in a variety of sizes and colours. Therefore, you can create a unique selection of products by placing your favourites inside.

The products that are available include; Eyeshadow, Contour, Highlight, Blush and they’ve recently added Lipstick too. I had heard wonderful things about their highlighters, so naturally, I decided to buy one. I picked three shades, two of them shimmers and one of them in a strobe cream.

The first two shades are called Moon and Bare. Moon is a beautiful lilac, which is my favourite shade of highlight to wear and Bare is a lovely rosy pink, which adds warmth to my face and is slightly more subtle. The final shade I bought was Precious, which is a stunning baby blue that adds a dewy glow to my face. At first I was slighly apprehensive about buying a cream highlight as some I’ve tried in the past haven’t been so great. However, I was highly impressed by the pigment and quality of this product, a little goes a long way and it’s absolutely beautiful, a unique shade of highlight. For some reason on the website the strobe balms are under the contour section, however I definitely see this product as a highlighter and will continue to use it as one.

Each of the highlighter were only £3, which is such a cheap price, yet such an amazing quality product – it’s unbelievable! The products are so pigmented, I’d even go as far to say that they could be more pigmented then some higher end brands! Each of the shimmer highlighters has Makeup Obsession’s beautiful star logo imprinted into the product, which is very pretty and I definitely  appreciate the added touch.

There are so many different shades in all of the makeup available and for such a good price you can pick up about five compacts for the price of one mid to high range product! I decided to buy a palette to keep all of my products together and I chose a Pink Obsession in a medium size for just £4! For this size, it will hold six singles and you also get a large mirror included – bonus! Each compact can be removed, so once it’s run out you can replace it with another or mix and match depending on how many you have.

I also decided to pick up a matte nude eyeshadow called Pearl, which was even cheaper than the other products at just £2! I like using a nude shade on my eyelids to contrast with my black winged eyeliner and this product is simply wonderful, Plus, it even works as a concealer for my spots if I can’t seem to gain full coverage – who knew!

The only negatives I can think of is that the compacts are fairly small, but for the price I can’t expect them to be huge sizes. Also, Makeup Obsession is exclusive to Boots, so if you don’t have one near then it could be frustrating not being able to see each shade in person.  However, once again you can order online – so all is not lost!

I can’t wait to complete my palette and purchases many more shades in the future from this amazingly cheap but quality brand!
