Essence Fantasia Highlighter Review

Hello everyone!
Today I wanted to talk about a new highlighter that I recently got. It's from the "Fantasia" collection by Essence and I've been loving it. I've only used it for a week or maybe a little bit more, but I loved it so much, I just couldn't wait to write a review!

I got this highlighter a little while ago and I immediately started using it. I really love how it looks. The butterfly in the middle is adorable!

As you can see, the colour of the butterfly (or wait, it's a butterfly, right?) and the colour of everything that's surrounding the butterfly is different. I like to mix those two colours so that I have a bit of each. The pigmentation is very good.

This is how it looks on my skin. It doesn't make you look like a disco ball, which is nice. It does stay on a long time, like when I put it on in the morning I can still see a bit of it in the evening but not as much as in the morning. Obviously I've been touching my face and such... I apply it in a line above my blush, a little bit under my eyes, more to the cheekbones. It gives a really nice shimmer and when the (sun)light hits you there, you can see the glitter and it's just totally adorable!
I really love how it looks. It was only $3.94, which is about €2.99, which I think is very affordable. And also, have you seen how big this highlighter is?! I'd really recommend it to all you beauty lovers out there, like I said, I like it and I enjoy using it!

Shopping Haul

Hi everyone!  Today I'm going to show you what I got when I went shopping yesterday. I know it's a little bit later than expected but the internet is so slow at the moment! Sorry!

I almost got Steve Madden shoes yesterday. After shopping for a few hours I had a lot of money left. I asked the girl in the store if they had the shoes that I liked in my size and she replied that there were almost no shoes left in my size! It made me a little bit sad because I really loved the shoes they had in the store. Next time better?
Anyways I did get quite a few beauty items and I'm going to show them today. There are both budget proof items and a high end item! Here we go!

The first palette I got is "Twinkle in the eye" by Catrice. I thought it looked cute and I didn't have any palette with colours that looked like this.

Swatches! Looks pretty good, huh?

This lipstick is called "Violet Crush". It's a matte lipstick.

Oh how glad I am I finally got myself a lipstick from Estée Lauder! I hear such good things about it all the time. This lipstick is pink/purple. It's a very special colour. I really love it. In the picture it'll look a bit more pink than it is in real life. Normally I like red lipsticks more but this one is really great as well!

 

This "stay all day" eyeshadow by Essence is called "Coppy right". I think it looks great! You can build up the colour and I just love it! The colour is a bit between green and brown.

I got two body butters! Oh god I really love these! They smell very very nice!

Another Essence item! A little while back I got an eyeshadow from the Fantasia collection and now I got a highlighter. The main reason I didn't get it last time is because it was sold out, haha! I heard great things about this and I'm very excited to try it. Doesn't look to bad, now does it? I really love the design.

Nothing really special, this last item. I got an eyebrow pencil by Catrice!
I also got some non-beauty items. I got 5 of the Harry Potter books (like I said, I really wanted them!). It was the perfect day to celebrate the ending of my exams.
Reviews and more pictures are coming up soon!

How was your day?

New In: Rimmel London and Essence

Hello! How are you doing?
So yesterday I went to a couple of stores and one of them sold makeup... You can guess it already: I got something!

I got the last "Kiss Of Life" lipstick by Rimmel London (the Kate Moss collection) and I got something from the new Essence "Fantasia" collection. It's a babypink eyeshadow called "Have you seen my unicorn?"

I'm very glad I got this lipstick. It was on my Christmas wishlist! Also, it was the last red one in the store so I was very very lucky!

How it looks on my lips...

The Essence eyeshadow! A bit shimmery, level 100 of cuteness! They also had a nailpolish colour that looked just like this eyeshadow! I didn't bring it with me...

And this is how it looks! The pigmentation is "okay". It's not "wauw" but it's not bad either. This is one wipe. I will try to make a look with it so that I can show it to you guys.
The colour is very light so it might by hard to take pictures of it, but I'll try!
