On a High Skinny Dip Highlighter Palette | Review

There's no Skinny Dip stores near me and I always forget how much stuff they actually have. I have a few of their liquid lipsticks and have tried and loved them and I really love the quality of their products. I was in dire need of a new highlighter palette and I saw this one that looked so pretty, look at that holographic cover, and it didn't disappoint in use. 



The palette includes three shades, one of which I would consider a blush and the other three highlighters. One is a very icy white shimmer and the others are gold tinted shades. They are one of the most pigmented highlighters I've tried and I love the different colours you can play with. Although the 'Ice Queen' shade suits me the most as I am so pale, I love the colour that gold dust brings to my face mixed with it or with a blush. I also like to mix 'Dollar Dollar' with my bronzers. When using them you don't need much product to see payoff it's the perfect way to finish your makeup look.

 Above swatches are Dollar Dollar, Ice Queen, Made You Blush and Gold Dust, they're so pretty together. 

Has anyone tried this before or anything similar?

Skinny Dip Liquid Lip Products | Review

I know you're probably thinking that you didn't know that Skinny Dip did lip products, well either did I until a friend gifted me these Pout Power Matte Lip Paints. These came in a set of three and they're quite different than the lip products that I would normally go for. I don't have any lip colours that come in tubes like this unless they are lip balm like products, but these are more like liquid lipsticks than anything. I thought I would dislike them but they're growing on me more and more and I'm reaching for them more lately than I thought I would. 


The three different shades of these lip colours are Flawless, Flamin' Hot and Girl Gang. Flawless is a brown and oranged toned nude, which I thought I would hate as oranges don't look good on me because of how pale I am, but it's my favourite of the lot. Flamin' Hot is a dark pink red shade, which isn't as dark on as it is on the packaging. The last one is Girl Gang which is a really pale light pink, which is my least favourite as I think it's a little bit too pink, and I hate that in a lip colour.
The application of these lip colours is one I actually enjoy.


The nib of the lip colour is a fluffy applicator that you squeeze the tube so that product comes out. It doesn't look so nice after you've used it as the product stains the top, and I cant imagine it being very hygienic. I actually love how easy it is to apply, and it feels like you're applying a lip balm rather than liquid colour. The product is creamy and smooths out nicely, admittedly it doesn't last an awful long time, it's not a hassle to re-apply. The product is completely matte but gives a nice moisture to your lips, not drying them out. One of the other great things about these is that they're cruelty free and aren't that expensive.
The above swatches are in order, Flamin' Hot, Girl Gang and Flawless.

I would love to try more products like this if anyone has any suggestions!

Has anyone tried these before? What do you think of them?
