Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a super great start. Few months ago, I saw this Makeup Revolution Ultra Pro Glow highlighter palette online and the moment I saw it, I knew I needed to get this. I finally got my hands on this palette a while ago and many of you requested me to review this. So here I am with one of the most awaited reviews. Let's get to the post to see what do I have to say about this Makeup Revolution Ultra Pro Glow Palette...

Makeup Revolution Ultra Pro Glow Palette comes in a sleek black packaging with transparent lid. The packaging is not so sturdy and is prone to breakage in my opinion. The palette contains 8 good-sized highlighters. The pans are larger than their usual blush palette pans which is a plus.

The palette contain 8 gorgeous shades that are suitable for all skin tones. It contains both warm and cool toned shades. I think the shades are really suitable for our desi skin tones. The darker shades can be used as eye shadows too. The texture of highlighters in this palette is very soft. I won't say these are as creamy as ColourPop highlighters yet they are soft enough and easy to blend. The only shade that I found hard to blend was the peachy pink shade (second left in bottom row). This particular shade has been a bit problematic and hard to work with. All the other shades are smooth and blend really easily.

There is no visible or chunky shimmer in these highlighters. The pigmentation of highlighters is really good. These highlighters provide soft to intense glow. One swipe gives a nice soft glow and adding a bit more results in a much noticeable, intense glow. All the shades in this palette reflect light beautifully and I really love the glow these highlighters provide. The staying power of the highlighters is pretty good too. These don't transfer and stay easily for 6 to 8 hours or more.

All in all, I would say this is a really good budget-friendly highlighter palette that contains 8 beautiful shades for all skin tones. You can mix and match different shades to create even more shades. The highlighters in this palette are very fine, well pigmented and provide a nice glow. Makeup Revolution Ultra Pro Glow has surely become my go-to highlighter palette. I definitely recommend you all to try it especially if you are looking for a good affordable highlighter palette.

Hey lovelies,

Hope you all are having a great day. Many of you requested me to review my new favorite highlighters that I use to achieve that full 100 watt glow. So today am sharing my secret behind those perfectly glowing cheeks. My current favorite products to do this job are Sigma Beauty Loose Shimmers and Shimmer Creams and am going to review these beauties today. So let's get to the review and see what I have to say about these.

Sigma Beauty Loose Shimmers and Shimmer Creams

Sigma Beauty Shimmer Creams

Left: Shimmer Cream "Brilliant" Right: Shimmer Cream "Sultry"

Sigma Beauty Shimmer Creams:
The two shimmer creams that am reviewing are "Brilliant" and "Sultry". These shimmer creams by Sigma Beauty are beyond gorgeous and am in love with these. These creams contain some very fine shimmer particles. The shimmer in these looks so subtle and reflects light perfectly. These creams feel so lightweight on skin and have such wonderful texture that blends beautifully into the skin. These shimmer creams do not accentuate any dryness on pores on the skin. The best part is that these do not feel oily like other cream blushers or products so these are perfect to be used on all skin types.

The shimmer creams by Sigma Beauty are so versatile and can be used anywhere on face to highlight the cheekbones, cupid bow or can be used on eyes or brow bones too. I am so in love with the shade "brilliant" which is a nice peachy gold pink shade with some very fine shimmer in it. It looks so gorgeous and gives such a subtle glow. The other shade "Sultry" is a bronze gold kind of shade that will compliment slightly darker or warmer skin tones. I like using it on my eyes. Here are the swatches of both the gorgeous shades.

Sigma Beauty Loose Shimmers

Sigma Beauty Loose Shimmers:
The two loose shimmers that am reviewing today are in shade "Ambrosia" and "Glided. These loose shimmers are also very versatile and can be used on face as highlighter, on eyes as eyeshadow and on brow bone to highlight. They actually have a lid on top with three small holes in it. But I prefer removing that upper lid to get the right amount of shimmer. These loose shimmers can be slightly trickier to use or blend and they have slight tendency to accentuate pores too. Am not personally a fan of loose shimmers as they tend to get everywhere and are difficult to use. But now, I have somehow learned to use these carefully without much unwanted mess. The staying power of these loose shimmers is pretty amazing too and they last on me till the end of the day easily. However, these have slight tendency to transfer.

The shade "Ambrosia" is a gorgeous cool toned pearly pink shade. Whereas "Glided" is a nice golden shade. The secret behind my full 100 watt glow are these loose shimmers. I always thought of using these on my eyes only. But one day I took a little amount of this shimmer on my blush brush and gently applied it on my cheeks with a light hand and oh mine I was stunned to see that gorgeous 100 watt glow. Once fully blended, these loose shimmers do not look very shimmery and give that perfect shine. You need to carefully use a little amount of this shimmer on your face and blend it really well. Using too much can accentuate your pores and can actually make you look like a disco-ball. Here are the swatches of both the shades...

Overall, these shimmer creams and loose shimmers have won my heart. Am in love with the shimmer cream in shade "Brilliant" as its so gorgeous, blends perfectly and gives that nice subtle glow that lasts all day. I also love playing with these loose shimmers as they are so versatile. These provide that full 100 watt glow to my face which am so loving. I will be featuring these beauties, in my eye looks too.

At the end here is a quick FOTD that I have created using these Sigma Beauty products to achieve that perfect glow:

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing well. Am obsessed with highlighters currently and I just love trying different forms of highlighters by different brands. Therefore today I have a loose shimmer powder review to share with you all. This one is the Shimmer and Shine Loose Powder in shade "Pearl" by DMGM Cosmetics. So let's get to the review and see what I think about this shimmer powder by DMGM....

DMGM Shimmer and Shine Loose Powder

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Today am really excited to review one of my recent purchases from Makeup Revolution (MUR) that is the MUR Radiance Palette. Am not really a huge fan of makeup kits and palettes. But Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush & Contour Palette changed my mind and I loved it so much. Therefore, I decided to get this radiant light highlighter palette by MUR too. Read my full review to know if it lived up to my expectations or not...

Makeup Revolution Radiance Palette

Hey lovelies,


Hope u all are doing great and enjoying the pleasant change in the weather. Well am obsessed with highlighters currently and bought 2 new highlighters recently. One of them is the new MUA undress your skin highlighter in shade "Iridescent Gold". Since the day I saw it online, this highlighter grabbed my attention. The previous original MUA pearly pink undress your skin highlighter was really impressive and it performed so well for me. That's why I was so tempted to try this new gorgeous gold shade. So after trying it regularly for a few days, let's see what I have to say about this highlighter.

MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighting Powder in "Iridescent Gold"

MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighting Powder in "Iridescent Gold"

This new undress your skin highlighter has the same lovely wavy pattern like the previous (original) highlighter. The packaging is not so sturdy but the plastic pan is big enough and has enough quantity of highlighter inside. Ahhhh....the highlighter looks so gorgeous inside the pan. I can't take my eyes off it.

The texture may seem a bit powdery in the pan, but when applied on skin it looks and feels so silky smooth. It applies and blends very easily. Even without any foundation or primer, it applies and blends easily. However, the soft blend-able texture leads to some fall out in the pan. I have dry/combo skin and luckily this highlighter doesn't enhance any dryness on my skin. I love how it adds a nice subtle shin to the skin without making your face look like a disco ball. This highlighter is very pigmented. A little amount of this highlighter is enough to provide a nice subtle glow to your face. Staying power of this highlighter is pretty great too. It lasted on me for about more than 5 hours which is quite reasonable.

Talking about the color, it is a light ivory or I should say its a kind of white gold colored highlighter with some silver undertones. It has some fine shimmer particles in it. But once applied, the shimmer isn't visible at all and it gives a nice subtle pale-silver kinda sheen which I love. This shade is just perfect and so gorgeous. It will suit almost any skin tone. Here are the swatches of this highlighter in natural and indoor lighting:

MUA "Iridescent Gold" Highlighter Swatch in Indoor Lighting

MUA "Iridescent Gold" Highlighter Swatch in Natural Day Light

As you can see this highlighter has a very light gold or Ivory kind of color with silver undertones which are more visible in natural day light. It is somehow looking more silverish in the swatches but actually this highlighter appears much pale-gold when applied on face. The texture of the highlighter might not be looking very smooth in the swatches too. But once applied, it looks so subtle and smooth. Here is a glimpse of how the highlighter looks when applied on my skin.

MUA "Iridescent Gold" Highlighter applied on cheekbones

This highlighter is considered to be a dupe for the famous NARS Albatross highlighter. I don't own the NARS one. But just for the sake of comparison, am going to compare this with The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer, my ultimate favorite highlighter.

Left: MUA Iridescent Gold ------ Right: The Balm Mary-Lou

Left: MUA Iridescent Gold ------ Right: The Balm Mary-Lou (Swatches in Day Light)

As you can see, Mary-lou is a much different and a much deeper champagne colored highlighter. Whereas this MUA highlighter is a very light ivory/gold colored highlighter with some silver undertones.  So it's definitely not comparable to the Mary-lou. But yes, as per the swatches I have seen online, it looks like a perfect dupe for the NARS Albatross.

Overall, I am in love with this highlighter. Considering the price, its a great drugstore highlighter. MUA once again has impressed me with this highlighter and I definitely recommend you to try it.


The Goods:

• Gorgeous light gold shade with silver undertones
• Silky smooth finish
• Highly pigmented
• Provides a nice subtle sheen
• Inexpensive

The Bads:

• Availability in Pakistan
• Fall out in pan

Price & Availability: I got mine from Facebook Page Bells for PKR 700/- only. MUA undress your skin highlighter is available online at MUA's website for £3.00. In Pakistan you can order this highlighter through any Facebook Page. 


My Rating: 4/5
