I actually got this palette because I had the Morphe 350 palette. It had been long awaited and I’d just started enjoying it and was ready to post about it and then we had visitors to stay. When they left so did quite a bit of my makeup, including my 350 palette, and a whole […]
Review: Makeup Revolution X Soph Highlighter Palette
By now dear reader mine, you’ll know that I have a love of highlighters.

A good highlighter can make […]
Review: The Morphe x Bretman Babe in Paradise Highlighter Palette
If you’ve been anywhere on social media lately you’ll know that the Morphe brand has been killing it with their product releases.
