I went into Primark recently to have a look around, especially now that their summer stuff is out but something that caught my eye was the Pure Glow Highlighting Palette. I have a small amount of highlighters and because I wanted to grow my collection, I thought this would be a perfect one, on the basis that it's good. And it includes 4 different shades so, why not?


Let's start off with the packaging. It's covered with a marble print and rose gold letter detailing. That's already a winner. It has a magnet within the packaging on the lid so that it can close nice and tight. When you lift up the lid, there are the highlighters in all their glory with more rose gold packaging. It's just so dreamy to look at.


Moving onto the highlighters themselves. In the palette, starting with the top row, there is a light, pearly white shade called Desert and a shimmery, golden sandy colour called Glimmer. On the bottom row, there is this beautiful peachy matte shade called Eden and lastly, there is Firefly, a shimmery light brown/gold colour. Looking at them, Glimmer and Firefly are very similar to look at but you can see that there is a slight difference in the shades when you see them in a good light. Overall, they are some really nice colours. So far, so good!


Now for the exciting part, and the bit you are probably looking forward to the most, the swatches! Not going to lie, but I was so impressed with the pigmentation of these. Just, look at that shine! Although these are a powder formula, they are surprisingly soft to touch and don't crumble or anything. They glide onto the finger and skin so smoothly and you don't even have to press hard to get product. The lightest touch gives you plenty of highlighter.


Obviously, once you've blended them out, they aren't going to be that striking and bright but even when they have been blended, they are still pretty pigmented, especially Glimmer and Firefly.

Overall, this palette is simply amazing for £5 (yes, you read that right). The range of colours are so pigmented, the packaging is gorgeous and it's a bargain highlighter palette. I personally don't think I'd be able to use Glimmer or Firefly much as a highlighter but I'm sure I'd be able to find other uses for it (maybe eyeshadow?). I'm really happy that Primark have got a whole beauty range because you can find some great things so don't skip it if you go to a store. Well done Primark.

Do you own this palette? Do you own any other highlights from Primark?

I know I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I finally managed to get my hands on the 'Too Faced Sweet Peach Eye Shadow Palette'. It was re-released back in December and I was so eager to get my hands on one after so many people praised the product. It took a little while to get to me (due to popularity/high demand) but it finally arrived so I just wanted to do a quick review and swatches, even though you've probably seen a million posts on this. Ah, well.


First things first, the packaging is simply gorgeous. Coming in a cute cardboard box, the palette itself is in a tin case, with a magnetic closure, which can also easily be opened. It reminds me of the old tin pencil cases you'd have in school, obviously a lot prettier and less full of pens and pencils. The colour gradient is so satisfying to the eyes, with cute embossed peaches all over the lid. It comes with a fairly decent sized mirror so you should be able to take this with you if you were travelling. It's when you open it, is when it becomes magical.


Not only are you faced with a mixture of 18 shades, you're hit with the sweet smell of peach. They weren't lying when they said it smelt like peaches. I just want to sit and smell it all day! It's got a great combination of colours, from the peachy ones, to the bright, light ones, (great for the brow bone and inner corner) and the brown ones, which will give you a great smokey eye look. Although not really peachy related, you have got a deep purple and dark blue/purple as part of the colour range too but it's good to mix it up a little. They are all different finishes too so you can for sure make many makeup looks with this palette.


At £39/$49, I can understand that people wouldn't want to spend this much on a palette, but to me, it was worth the money, as this such a gorgeous addition to my collection and can't wait to use it fully.

I've only been looking into Morphe recently, as I've been on the hunt for some good brands from overseas, to expand my collection and try new things. After seeing Manny, Nikkie and Bretman Rock mention this brand on their Snapchats and talking about how a popular palette has come back into stock, I wanted to see what the hype was all about. I originally was looking at the 35O palette and really like the shades it offered, but didn't buy it at the time. A few weeks later, they started talking about the 35F being available, saying to 'get it while you can' so again, it must have been another popular palette from Morphe. So I decided to have a look to see what this palette was all about and low and behold, there were some of the most nicest, shimmeriest (not that is even a word), prettiest colours I had seen in a palette in a long time and I wasn't going to hold back this time, so I bought it. Although the palette itself was only $22.99 (which works out to about £16/£17, which is so good!), the biggest thing for me was that I had to basically pay the same price of the palette for the shipping, which kind of sucked, but the fact that a real nice palette and shipping cost me about £30 all together, from the USA, it's not all that bad. I had to wait a little while for it to turn up but I wasn't in an absolute rush to get it. After waiting very patiently, I got it, in my hands. I couldn't wait to open it and see it with my own eyes.






























The mixture of finishes and colours really compliment each other as you have an endless amount of combinations that you can use for plenty of occasions. I've honestly never been so in love with an eyeshadow palette. The colours are so lovely and pigmented and still blend so nicely. My favourites ones are probably the 3rd and 4th row, as the colours are gorgeous but it's good that they've added the lighter ones, incase you don't feel too daring with your makeup.

Was it worth the price and the wait? Absolutely, yes! I have no flaws with the product or have any regrets buying it. I'm honestly gutted that more brands haven't got a presence in the UK because they could make a killing, although they probably choose the current method of you buying it online because they make a heap of money on shipping it, but I still think it could fit into the UK market perfectly. I'm so glad that I have found the Morphe brand and will definitely be looking into purchasing some more of their palettes in the near future. A very well put together brand, great quality at an affordable price.

Do you own any Morphe products? If you do, what's your favourite? Use the comments below, I'd love to hear from you!
