Revlon Highlight Blush Palette Review

At Christmas I nipped into farmers and picked up a bunch of revlon products.. it was 40-50% off which is an amazing deal.

So the price I paid was great! Definitely a bargain. Even on one of the usual farmers sales this would still be a steal.

The colours are what appealed to me. Great range and definitely me.

I do tend to have a natural red glow to my skin so when I wear blush over my foundation I like to bring a bit of my natural complexion through so I hope to have a rosy pink glow.

This is a more buildable blush than some I’ve used so least I don’t look like something from an 80s music video. It’s pink but not as pink pigmented as some I’ve used. I don’t have a problem with this as is still usable and buildable so it will get used up.

I will burn through this faster than my natio branded blush which is a strong favourite and similar price point but it’s still a good contender for a blush.

It’s nice pigment not too big so doesn’t look dusty or blotchy which I have had with other similar products. I personally think for the price I paid it was a good buy.

I was looking for a highlighter and blush in one but found this to be a really good highlighter. I felt it was a bit too sparkly for a blush. Great for highlighting the top of your cheekbones, lasted all day

I wasn't really a fan of this product, it's really not that pigmented, I have it in the pinky shade and I never really reach for it. When used all together with a dense brush it looks okay but there really isn't a lot of colour payoff from the pink strips. The shimmer isn't very fine and looks a bit chunky. I was pretty excited when I first saw this because there really aren't a lot of drugstore brands that sell highlighters. It's pretty pricey and not really worth it in my opinion as there are plenty of other really great highlighters out there

I usually use liquid highlighter and cream blush so I wasn't quite sure what to do with this palette (I got it in a gift set). I used a brush and swiped across the 'bricks' and swirled the brush on my cheekbones- milder pigment that I get with my blush but plenty of sparkle. I think this really limits how much pigment I can build on as even when I tried with just one shade the glitter was quite off-putting. However, if I just wanted to give a little 'glow' to my cheeks with some colour this would do a good job.

I used this as I had used the Body Shop version and loved it and thought id give Revlon a try. I hated this. I couldn't isolate certain colors, it was matte, fake looking and didn't suit my skin tone at all. Hard to blend and really not build-able. I used this for about 3 weeks and then gave it away. I would recommend the Natio or Body Shop blusher/ bronzer palettes over this one any day.

This blush palette leaves a nice shimmer on your face but not a lot of colour. I wouldn't really think of it as a blush, but more as a highlighter. There is one colour in it that I can use as a blush (the tan - second from the bottom). However the one down is too dark and the ones above are too light. Some of the shades gave my skin an odd tone - kind of grey/purple. As a result, I have only used it a few times.

I usually love Revlon products but have found I really dislike this highlighting product which was the first powder highlighter I have ever used.

Firstly, the packaging drew me in on this specific product as the shades looked right up my alley. The shades were lovely shades of light pink and the swatches in store were amazing. But, the product is shocking I have found that its very chalky, isn't buildable at all and I found hard to blend as I couldn't evenly distribute the powder on my cheekbones.

I do think this maybe good for a beginner but for me it didn't work like an highlighting product should and also, the life span of this product is horrible as mine dried up way too quickly.
