Revolution x DC Comics Collaboration - Batman Haul

If you're a DC Comics and makeup/cosmetics fan, you have to check out this super cute DC Comics collaboration over at Revolution Beauty. Actually, if you're a makeup fan in general, it might be worth checking out their other collaborations too. They have such cute products based on fandoms and licenses like Corpse Bride, Elf, Friends, Matrix, and more. The problem with me is that I don't know ANYTHING about makeup yet here I am with a Batman haul from Revolution to share. 😂

They had so many pretty and adorable Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Joker, and Batman items and nearly all of them I wouldn't even know how to BEGIN to use. To keep myself from buying too many things that I would likely waste or never use, I focused on the Batman-specific items which helped narrow things down. I ended up purchasing the Batman cosmetic handheld mirror, Batman "Bat Light" highlighter, Batman "I Am The Night" mascara, and Batman makeup bag. You'll notice that half of the items are not makeup at all. Hah. I actually had my eye on some of these items weeks (maybe months?) ago but some items like the makeup bag were sold out at the time. I was recently inspired by a lot of The Batman brand collaborations to do some general Batman shopping and noticed things were back in stock at Revolution so here we are.

I was easily convinced to purchase the makeup bag and mirror. Those seem like practical enough items, right? Next, the one makeup item I actually use at every single wedding or special event is mascara. I still have mascara at home, but I hear makeup expires so didn't hurt to have some extra mascara conveniently labeled with a Batman symbol on hand. 😅 Finally, I also often use bronzers at weddings which I didn't see available in the collection, but I noticed the highlighter with the Batman logo imprint. I'm not going to lie, I had to Google what a highlighter is for and how to use it. I figured it seemed to make sense enough and that I could figure it out... after I purchased it. 😬 At that point, justification for adding more items to my cart was starting to look like a stretch. Y'all do not understand how much I loved all of the shadow palettes. They were so pretty! I just would have no idea what to do with them.

With all that said, check out the photos of my purchases below and let me know what your favorite item is! Or let me know what else from the Revolution x DC Comics collection caught your eye because I know a lot of other items caught mine. 👀 Also, if you have any tips for how to use a makeup highlighter, please drop a comment and help a girl out.

(All of the packaging for these Batman Revolution products were black and rose gold which may not come through very well in my mediocre photography, but wanted to point that out in case anyone was interested to know more about how the product looks in-person. It looks a bit more gold in the photos)

Warner Media House at SXSW 2022

Like many things, SXSW is back for the first time since 2019. Since leaving my digital media agency life where I got a LOT of SXSW perks, I have generally avoided SXSW as much as possible because it's intensely crowded ad overwhelming and exhausting. There are always some really fun, free things to do, but without shelling out the money for wristbands or badges, the lines are typically not worth it. I've been happy to stay in and relax and was fully ready to do that this year until I heard that Robert Pattinson's Batmobile was in town at the Warner Media House. I'm a sucker. If anything's going to get me to brave the downtown crowds during SXSW, it's Batman.

For those who weren't able to attend this activation from March 11-13, check out the photos from the experience below!

The displays were free and open to the public. For guests without wristbands and badges, you could enter just to see the props on display from a side entrance. When you initially enter, you head toward the back of the room to grab some free swag which included a Funko Pop from The Batman, The Batman Batmobile LEGO Technic set, some comic books, and also some Hro hybrid NFT trading cards. They had team members explaining the NFT trading cards. It was... interesting. Not really my speed, but might be of interest for others if you'd like to check them out below! Depending on when you entered the event, you may have received a different Funko Pop. My husband and I each received Battinson, but I ran into a coworker who received Kravitz's Catwoman Funko Pop. We were able to trade so we had one of each.

They had a giant The Batman Funko Pop box photo op as well as a ton of The Batman collaboration items from brands like Puma and Carhartt on display. My favorite display items were the Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, and Batman costumes. They were also promoting Peacemaker.

After you took photos to your heart's content inside the building, you could walk around the building and into an alleyway where they had the Batmobile available for photo ops. I was very excited to the see it in person right in Austin!

If SDCC happens as planned this year, I anticipate a lot of this will be available for fans to view then as well, but really glad we got to experience it at SXSW first. What was your favorite of all the things at Warner Media House I shared above? SXSW goes through March 20 this year. Are you attending and what else are you looking forward to this week?
