Benefit High Beam Dupe...!

Technic High Lights (flash on this individual picture)
Swatched

Finally; I've found it! Forget Me Me Me Beat the Blues this tops even that!
Technic is not a very recognized brand but to be honest I now have a couple of things from the brand and they're bad for a cheaper make-up brand! But this highlighter just stands above the rest! Although I don't own Benefit High Beam Victoria does and she really feels it is as good as High Bean; Victoria wrote a lovely little review about this product HERE so you should defiantly check that out!

Personally I think this is a fantastic highlight and for £2.75 with free p&p its an absolute bargain! You can get your own High Lights HERE. 

What do you think of High Lights? Have you got High Lights or would you rather pay for the real deal?

Heaven and Earth Review


M.U.A are well known for their unbelievably cheap makeup. The whole range starts from £1.00; this brand is pocket money priced! As part of one of my birthday presents I got given this palette as well as a few more from M.U.A; this however is my favorite - its more of an every day color range as everything tends to go with the colors in this neutral palette.

Top row.

The pigmentation of each and every color is remarkable. Just a mere swipe will create a vivid metallic shade on your brushes. Some shades are a lot higher than others however they all have amazing pigmentation unlike a couple of shades from the Immaculate palette also from M.U.A. 

The most unusual color of the whole palette is first  the first on the right of the top row (pictured above). It is extremely bronze and although this type of color is so regally seen never one with such a coppery bronze tone to it!

Bottom row.

As you can see this palette is very neutral as are many popular eye-shadows today. The most well known in the Beauty World is Urban Decay's Naked palette. In this video Holly compares the Heaven and Earth Palette to the Naked Palette; and the colors in the £4 palette to the same standard and shade as the £36 palette!

What do you think of M.U.A? Do you like cheap and cheerful or do you prefer to pay for qaulity?
