Colourpop Hippo Super Shock Cheek Highlighter: Review + Swatches

If you saw my review on Stole the Show, a different Colourpop Highlight, then you'd know I love this formula. Hippo is very different from Stole the show, it is a sheer lavender. At $8 on the Colourpop website, this unique highlight is worth you attention. 
 4.2 g / .15 oz
 Always remember to seal the container tightly!
Pearlized finish
Close up of the unswatched pan
And an unblended, then lightly blended arm swatch

  • Even smoother texture than Stole the Show, if that's possible
  • Blends out on the cheeks to a pale highlight
    • more silvery than purple
  • I apply with my fingertips, or complexion sponge, or a synthetic face brush
  • No harsh glitter
  • Can be worn alone, or topped for more intensity
  • Cream formula, blends out to almost powder
  • Wears all day, doesn't accentuate flaws
Overall,
This is a very unique highlight, I have nothing like it in my collection. If you like cooler highlights, then you need this one. I have a more neutral complexion, and it still blends out to a natural finish on me. The formula is amazing, so if you think you'd like this color of highlight--try it out!

Mac Fleshpot Lipstick | Review + Swatches

Mac lipsticks are a classic, and for me this one is a must have. Mac has raised the prices of their lipsticks overtime, and currently cost $17. They have a variety of finishes, and this one is a satin finish.  "Pale muted pinky- beige" according to mac Pulls more peach on me Can be worn alone, mixed to lighten, or in the center of lips to highlightI love this lipstick even alone, but I know not everyone would like thisScreenshot from my latest video about some of my favorite lipsticksNot as dry as a mac matte, but still enough so that it wears a long timeCan be built up or worn less intense Overall, Not every person nor every skintone can pull this color off, but personally I like it. On me, it's slightly a "concealer lips" color, but that shade is the look some desire. The formula is also very nice, if I wore this more I would try to find a dupe. There may be some listed online in-case the price does not seem reasonable to you (I just hope Mac doesn't rais…
