Makeup revolution recently released a new range of liquid highlighters so we decided to review one of them.. were sure we'll review more of them in the future as you can never own enough highlighter!! their new liquid highlighters retail for £6 each which is great, even for a drugstore brand, so when picking up one of their new highlighters, we went for something different with the shade unicorn elixir, just because it's called unicorn elixir and it lured us in with that name, not only that but the swatches online seem dreamy and the packaging is absolutely stunning! the Unicorn Elixir liquid drops are nothing like we've ever seen before, with an iridescent lilac reflective glow. However, unlike the 6 other shades that are more on the opaque side, Unicorn Elixir's shimmer/highlight is suspended in a clear base making the finish more glitter than a blended liquid metal. This was something that we noticed straight away when swatching the highlighter. because of this, we found that the glitter particles didn't blend seamlessly into the skin, unlike other liquid highlighters we've used in the past and so it Looks harsh and more like flecks of glitter on the skin. Unfortunately it seems we picked what we thought was the most appealing shade but in fact it's a shade that doesn't work as a highlighter. A glitter yes, that could possibly be used for more creative makeup but as a liquid highlighter, no. This highlighter was a let down for us as we had high hopes for this particular shade, however this hasn't put us off trying and reviewing the other shades and So we shall be picking up several of the other shades very soon. but for now the shade 'unicorn elixir' is not beauty blog approved!!
