Review | Makeup Revolution London - Salvation Velvet Lacquer

After being so impressed with their highlighter - I just had to run back over to ULTA to snatch up another product from Makeup Revolution London's collection. We had a "going away party" to attend on Friday night. I decided to put MRL's Salvation Velvet Lacquer in the shade "Attract" to the ultimate test. I'm not kidding about the ultimate part. 😂

We started out the night at The Tipping Point in Montg, AL. Within 20 minutes my lady friends were already complementing me on my lip color. I'm all about a matte classic red lippie - and this one did pretty damn well all things considered. It's long wear awesome-ness on a budget.

Just like the highlighter, I believe this product was also $5. I would recommend going with one coat instead of the two that I applied. The texture got a bit crumbly feeling to me - even though it still appeared to be looking perfect to everybody else.

The plan for Friday evening was three stops total. I only made it to two lol. 😂 I'm still really bummed about missing the drag show y'all! It was karaoke that did me in, but my lipstick was still in place after the last photo of the evening. (We attempted to do one of those "glasses of wine" photo projects) It ended up going kind of awry at some point. There were many people at the gathering but only three of us were consistent with the photos.

I would definitely purchase this lip lacquer in other shades. I would also say that it is perfect for a epic night out on the town. 😉

Review | Makeup Revolution London - Vivid Baked Highlighter

I took a chance on purchasing this highlighter and I'm very glad I did. I figured I could never have too many highlighters right?! Well, it very well may be the best $6 I've ever spent. 😉 I stumbled across this brand on a recent trip to ULTA. A very large bit of the drugstore cosmetic section was devoted to this brand. Everything in their line was very affordable. I'm definitely going to have to go back to purchase some of their lovely palettes.

I picked up this vivid baked highlighter in the shade "golden lights." I only wish I discovered it before I dropped all that cash on my Hourglass highlighter. 😁 I believe I prefer this one over the pricier highlighter.

Sweet baby pigmented Jesus? The above photo was actually a very light handed swatch. I was bringing the ice princess realness when I was wearing this powder today. I set it with a finishing spray and it looked fabulous till I washed my face. 👍🏻

Sorry! I've got to get a better lighting situation. This photo just isn't doing this highlighter justice. Here it is swatched next to my Hourglass highlighter. 

Am I calling this a dupe? Not exactly. The Hourglass powder has a slightly softer  texture and less gold undertones. Will I continue to use my Hourglass powder? Hell yeah, that shit was $38 lol. 😂 I think these guys both have a place in my collection. I will definitely be re-purchasing the $6 highlighter when I hit pan on both and skipping out on that trip to Sephora.
