Bitter Lace Beauty Halloween Highlighter Review


You know the pretty pans of rainbow highlighter that broke the Internet (& wallets) a few months back? No, not the $5 product you see in drug stores from Wet 'n' Wild or the newly-released version from Forever 21. We’re talking about the first-to-market original called Rainbow Prism Highlighter by Etsy shop Bitter Lace Beauty.


After fulfilling 6 month back orders for the highly coveted rainbow highlighter, #BLB is back and better! Not only with a glam new site, but also a slew of LIMITED EDITION products with a seasonal flare that are inspired by All Hallows' Eve. Consider these the 2.0 version of their iconic counterpart, the Prism Rainbow Highlighter. And to think, this is just the beginning! So what exactly is so special about these highlighters? I am here to give you the scoop!


I decided to purchase just one, but we will come to that shortly (see below). All of the Limited Edition Halloween Highlighters are 44mm in size and come in a matte black and chrome red compact. If you would like to depot your pretties into a larger palette no problem! They are magnetically attached and pop right out. The liquid highlighter comes in a glass skull bottle with a dropper cap and it contains 30ml of product. Separation is normal so their are mixing balls inside to shake her up when she is feeling low. Not all shades are Vegan but #BLB is a cruelty free brand. They test on humans, not fur babies! Colors will be marked with a (V) for Vegan shades and (NV) for NON Vegan shades in the descriptions below. The store also provides this disclaimer: "Due to the way this product is made, you will get all the colors in your pan throughout the whole product, not just on top. No two pans will be alike... sometimes one or 2 colors dominate at the top of the design." Now there has been some speculation about not wanting to mess up the color blocks in the pan but rest assured the colors will not mix even as you make your way down to the bottom.


SLAY(V) - A white gold flecked base with an intense metallic blood red splatter. Both colors are gorgeous on their own but blend together to make the most beautiful rose toned gold highlight. Slay has larger shimmers that make for a sparkling highlight. The pan is so pretty you might not even want to use it!

TOOTH-ACHE(V) - Stripes of sweet yellow orange and white are gorgeous on their own, but once blended together they make the most beautiful warm gold. Not only does it resemble candy corn in the pan, it also swipes on with similar gusto.

THE NEXT SUPREME(NV) - This color is very interesting, it is a murky silver with a purple to intense green shift. This shade is also extremely iridescent. This shade gets its name from American Horror Story: Coven. It even features an emboss of skulls! I'd say the metal gods would approve.

HOCUS POCUS(NV) - Embossed with a spider web this highlighter features a swirl of rusty orange, lime green, and purple that blend together to make a gorgeous lilac shade. Hocus Pocus has larger shimmers that make for a major metallic punch.

I PUT A SPELL ON YOU(V) - A pearl while base with an extremely iridescent shimmering finish with flecks of gold and purple. This formula has larger shimmers to give a more sparkling glow.

Swatches in order: Slay, Hocus Pocus, Tooth-ache, The Next Supreme, I Put A Spell On You

Can't decide which you love the most!? I know, it is challenging, but not to worry. You can grab the whole set HERE in a special set, if you feel like splurging! Why not make it an early holiday gift? :P

Now onto my Halloween goodies! This is Bitter Lace Beauty's new highlighter in TOOTH-ACHE.

Interested in transferring that candy corn onto your cheek? #BLB suggests to swipe your finger or a flat brush directly across the pan and swipe straight onto your cheek to get the full on sugary effect!


For a more blended look you can use a brush swirled around the pan as you normally would.


ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, copper, silica, sericite mica, calcium carbonate, zinc stearate, boron nitride, kaolin clay, silicon dioxide, allantoin, carnauba wax, caprylic/capric triglyceride, isopropyl myristate, dimethicone, bis-vinyl dimethicone/dimethicone copolymer

Remember "limited edition" means once its gone, its gone for good! So snatch up these treats while you still can!

Until next time. - D💋

Ipsy Glam Bag Review - March 2016 - My First #glambag


Ipsy is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. Each month you get full size or deluxe-sized products, plus a cute makeup bag. I think it’s one of the best value beauty subscriptions and a great way to build out your makeup collection for a steal!
This is one of my top recommendations if you are looking for a beauty box – the value and sample sizes are amazing. (FYI – Just like Birchbox, Ipsy sends out many different variations of their bag each month – so my review is just one of the bag variations you might receive!)
I personally pay for this subscription and any other products on this blog. I do not accept promo merchandise in return for a good review.







The Subscription Box: Ipsy
The Cost: $10 a month (free shipping)
The Products: Full size and deluxe samples of makeup and beauty products. (Plus a makeup bag!)
Ships to: US and Canada
Delivered via: USPS
Visit the Ipsy Swap Page to swap for any of the items you see in this review!

Beau Gachis Paris Eyeshadow Brush
Size: FULL SIZE!
Value: $12
Ipsy is pretty great about sending out makeup brushes and beauty tools frequently. If you’re looking for that in a beauty subscription, I would definitely recommend Ipsy.
OFRA Cosmetics Green Go Eyeliner in Olive
Size: FULL SIZE!
Value: $13
OFRA’s Green Go Eyeliner is a gorgeous eyeliner that applies smoothly and easily on the eyes with a velvety finish. Not only is this pencil perfect in complimenting your eye makeup but it can also be used as an eye shadow or a bold lip liner. The creativity is completely in your hands. It also came in a tending color that is a must have!
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Anti Aging Concealer in Nude
Size: Travel Size .11 oz.
Value: $10
IT Cosmetics Full Coverage Anti-Aging Concealer with hydro-collagen, vitamins C and K, is clinically proven to reduce under eye puffiness, while strengthen the skin. When they say full coverage they mean it! A small amount of this highly pigmented formula goes a very long way. Apply alone using clean fingertips for a radiant, hydrated, dewy glow. I will say I have my color under medium/nude & I feel like this was still very ivory, the bottle says nude.
Aphrodite Skin Care Replenishing Eye Cream
Size: Travel Size .5 oz.
Value: $9
This anti-aging and hydrating eye cream is a super lightweight and intensely hydrating treatment, formulated with organic extra virgin olive oil and high levels of natural active ingredients such as Argan Oil, Evening Primrose and Shea Butter to insure maximum absorption.
Model Co Lip Lacquer Lip Gloss in Socialite
Size: Travel Size .5 oz.
Value: $8
As vibrant and glossy as the finish on a pair of Louboutin heels, ModelCo’s Lip Lacquer is appropriately named. One swipe of the wand delivers rich, full-pigment color paired with brilliant moisture and shine. The long-lasting formula is packaged in a superslim bottle, making it a must-have for your handbag. For my personal preference I do enjoy this gloss however I prefer a stick or matte gloss so if you got a NUDESTIX lip crayon/pencil, you have my envy!

Verdict: This box has a value of about $52. That’s amazing for a $10 subscription box and actually low compared to other bags I’ve received! (And that’s not counting the value of the makeup bag!) For my first Ipsy bag, this one was quite impressive! It had almost everything I was looking for. Not to mention you earn points towards free products if you review your monthly bag on their site and this also helps give feedback for your profile if you didnt like any of the products or felt like they weren't for you!
