So this has been a long anticipated review because it feels like I've been waiting ages to receive these but I finally have my hands on a Kylie Cosmetics product, more importantly, the Kim Kardashian West collab. I'm not really sure why I got these. I've never really had the urge to buy anything before from Kylie Cosmetics (apart from the Valentine's collection which I missed out on) but I was kind of intrigued to see what the hype is all about. It's a shame that I won't be able to compare this with any other Kylie Cosmetic product, as this is my first, but I'm sure there are people out there where this is their first product too. So, let's get cracking on the review.


When I got this out of the box, I was really taken by the packaging. The matte baby pink box is so beautiful and it's co-ordinated nicely with the nude pink lettering and the nude liquid lipsticks, so that's already a thumbs up on that. I like the design of this, where you have sleeve and a box containing the liquid lipsticks, rather than having them in separate thin, tube-like boxes. Again, the baby pink theme continues inside the box and on the the detailing on the lipsticks, alongside the tubes with a frosty glass look. Although I'm pretty sure the one of the left, it's lid is a slightly darker pink than the rest (not sure if anyone else has that too) so it's a shame that there isn't consistency. Although you can notice it more in the photo, you'd have to really stare at it when you're actually holding it and looking to see that difference in colour. Apart from that minor gripe, everything else is looking good so far. On the back, you just have the information on the names of the lipsticks plus it's ingredients.



As for the price, these were going for $45, which is roughly £34/£35 (works out to about £8 per lipstick) which is slightly above drug store prices but pretty good as a high ended brand. The unfortunate thing was that, being in the UK, I had to pay nearly $15 (approx. £11) for the shipping and then about the same for the customs, so I almost paid the same amount for shipping and customs as the product alone, which was a bit of a sting to the bank balance.

So overall, I really liked the packaging and the lipsticks themselves (although they could be some really small improvements) but the only thing I was bummed about was purely just the price for it, but that's the price I pay I guess for living in the UK :( Would I buy something from Kylie Cosmetics again? Maybe. It would depend on what the product is, colours, price etc. but I'm not going to rush and get myself a lip kit anytime soon. If you are a massive lover of nude shades then yeah, go for it.

Do you own these lipsticks? Do you feel the same way?

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?

Look after yourself,
