REVIEW || JOLIE BEAUTY SECOND SKIN HIGHLIGHTERS IN SAINTLY AND DREAMING



*This post contains PR items from Jolie Beauty. In this picture I am wearing the shade 'Saintly'.

I recently came across the brand Jolie Beauty on a blogging assignment website where I could apply for a collaboration to review a highlighter from this company. I was pleasantly surprised to receive two of the Jolie Beauty Second Skin Highlighters in shades 'Saintly' and 'Dreaming'.
 
Jolie Beauty is a brand created by experienced makeup artists, wanting to make products that are the highest quality with an affordable price tag. All products are cruelty-free and most are vegan; thus being very ethically-aware when it comes to cosmetics. I don't tend to buy any makeup or skincare items that aren't cruelty-free, and mostly I look for the vegan labels too.

Sleek || Highlighting Palettes

Good Evening Everyone!

I have never tried any Sleek products before until recently when Superdrug had an offer on Sleek cosmetics 2 for £10. The palettes cost £9.99 each, so practically I got one for free. I also bought two blusher palette, but I'll mention it in a different post as today I'm going to focus on these two beautiful highlighter palettes.

I think the packaging itself made me want to buy these! The gold palette looks limited edition, as the black matte one reminds me of Nars' packing.
Midas Touch - this is a limited edition high listing palette. Weird as the gold one looks more like a limited edition product, right?
Solstice highlighting palette.
As you can see there are four different highlighters to choose from - Solitaire, Tanzanite, Rhinestone and Cubic Zirconia. They are all beautiful shades, but the one that caught my eye the most was Rhinestone - it is a BEAUTIFUL shade, definitely my favourite! It looks amazing with a dark smokey eye for a night look - I would avoid wearing it during the day as some might find it a bit too much!
Swatches l-r = Solitaire, Cubic Zirconia, Rhinestone and Tanzanite. As you can see they are very pigmented and you don't need a lot of product in order to achieve the perfect glow!
So this palette is a bit more sensible haha. It is suitable for all skin tones and seems appropriate for any occasion. I mainly bought this palette because of the packaging (I know, I'm really naughty). However I recommend this palette for beginners and lovers of Benefits' High Beam as the shade Ecliptic looks identical on skin but is only a little thicker consistency.
Swatches l-r = Subsolar, Equinox, Hemisphere and Ecliptic. Yet again, these are very pigmented and I only pressed on the product slightly.

What highlighter do you use? Have you tried any of the Sleek highlighters?

Lots of love,
