Review : No7 Shimmer Palette

Hello there :)


Sorry I'm posting this a bit later than expecting but it's still worth it, I promise! I was just browsing in Boots a few weeks ago and I came across this highlighter. I have yet to come across a drugstore highlighter that gives that metallic glowy look that I love.. However, this one looked very promising. At €17.50 it's not exactly cheap but there's still a significant different between that and a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick at €42.50! Are you dying to see swatches? :)

I got mine in the shade "Caramel". They also have a "Rose" shade.

This is swatched with flash 

I was really impressed with the smooth formula and sheen from this product. When I saw it in the shop I thought it looked a lot like some of my other highlighters. Just to compare..

L-R : No7 Caramel, MAC MSF in Global Glow, Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Beige

What do you think? I think they look so similar and they have the same texture too :) I was nicely surprised by this highlighter and I'd definitely recommend it if you can find it in store! If you want to get it online just click here.

Thanks so much for reading :)

SEPHORA HAUL!!!

Hellooooo :)


How are you all? Hope you're enjoying this fab weather we've been having here in Ireland! So.. I mentioned in my last blogpost that I was going to Boston - I'm back! I'm so sad to be home, I had a great time. I did get to do tons of shopping though! I filmed a video on this and I was really hoping that I'd be able to edit it but sadly I still can't get that working :( Instead of leaving it, I said I'd do a blogpost instead :) I can't wait to use all of my new stuff.. Also if you'd like other hauls (like drugstore and MAC) and an updated make up collection then let me know :)
