Makeup Revolution Haul || Correct, Contour, Blush, Highlight...


After many months of being a good girl, I decided I would take advantage of the offer Makeup Revolution had on their website... 3for2 on everything!! I am very sorry to say that this deal is now over. *sad face*

On a quick side note I got a new phone recently, the Samsung Galaxy S6. It has an amazing camera so all the photos you see on this blog post are taken using it. I wanted test it and I am very impressed.

I read about the new corrector palette and their contour palette on so many other blogs, so naturally I added these straight to my basket. In this post you will find photos and swatches of the products I bought.

Let's start with the base, the colour correction palette. 
It has 8 different shades, each with it's own job. 

Pink - Brightens
Lavender - Neutralises yellow tones
Green - Neutralises redness
Peach - Balances out slight discolouration 
White - Adds natural highlight
Cream - Neutralises purple/dark areas
Brown -  Balances a shines in darker skin tones

The colours are super creamy, very opaque and pigmented.
I have no pictures when them in use on my face yet, but I think I'll do a whole 'makeup routine' blog post using these products in the next month.



Onto the contour palette... Being quite pale most of the time I do need some help with making my face look a little more alive and healthy. Again these are super pigmented, especially the darker colours and the shimmery highlights. I love using the colour second in from the left at the bottom for contouring, a great more neutral brown, perfect for paler skin tones.



I LOVE THIS BLUSH PALETTE!

Look at the amazing colours. If you are on the paler side, be super careful when using the deeper colours as they damn pigmented and you can end up with very colourful cheeks... Believe me, I went there a few days ago!



The next product that made it into my basket is this triple baked highlighter.
Ok, yes I did buy this because of the packaging...so cute.
I have a few highlighters from Makeup Revolution and this is the most difficult to go overboard with.
I have found it is easier to use my finger to apply this one whereas with the other ones I have I use a brush.




I have had my eye on this Rose Gold Foil for so long, it was always out of stock when I went to buy it in the past, but I finally have it.

It is glorious!

I saw Nikkie from NikkieTutorials use it as an inner corner highlight in one of her videos, so that is how I have used it so far. I am excited to do a full eye look with it though.




The swatch on the left is it straight out of the pot using a small brush, the one on the right is it mixed with the Liquid Eye Primer that comes with it.


And finally I bought their Oil Control Fixing Spray to set everything once I have piled all of the above make up on my face.


Ultra Base Corrector Palette £6.00
Ultra Contour Palette £8.00
Ultra Blush and Contour Palette - Sugar and Spice £6.00
I ♡ Makeup Blushing Hearts - Goddess of Love Highlighter £4.99
Awesome Metals Eye Foils - Rose Gold £4.00
Pro Fix Oil Control Fixing Spray £5.00

I hope you enjoyed my post and then go on to buy all of these amazing products.
Happy shopping!

Makeup Revolution Slogan Palettes || Makeup Geek & Parental Advisory Explicit Content...


I wanted some new palettes from Makeup Revolution for a long time now and I finally decided on these two amazing slogan palettes from their sub-brand I Heart Makeup -


Makeup Geek £7.99

Below you will find photos of the palettes and swatches of different colours.

S P O I L E R  :  T H E Y  A R E  A B S O L U T E L Y  A M A Z I N G ! ! ! !


*DROOL* I love this picture... Look at how perfect the eye shadows are!





Another drool worthy picture, I call this one - 'The calm before the storm...'
Everything in it's rightful place before I played with the colours and swatched them all over my hands and face!!





Both palettes come with a mix of 36 shimmery and matte shades, all of which are stunningly pigmented. 
The shimmery shades are especially creamy to apply and have no fall out.

The Parental Advisory palette has the more neutral shades so I would say it will be great as a starter palette and then Makeup Geek is for the more brave of us out there. 
I got both because why not and I thought that they would be great used together for doing a neutral eye with a pop of colour. Perfect for creating fun summery looks!

I can't wait to use more of the colours from them. I have to restrain myself each morning when getting ready for work, there are only a certain amount of colours I can pull off at once. 

These palettes are so worth the money even if you buy them just to look at!

If you want to see a look using one or both of these palettes please leave a comment below.

Makeup Revolution || Lip Lava Swatches & Review...


As soon as I saw these appearing on more and more blogs I knew I had to try them and I have nothing like these in my make up collection so was super excited! 

These are Lip Lava's by a sub-brand in Makeup Revolution called I Heart Makeup.

You can either buy these liquid lipstick individually for £2.99 or as a set for £11.96.

"Lip Lava is a super intense liquid lipstick formula with nourishing vitamin E"

I definitely think they live up to everything that they claim. They come in squeezy tubes, are very easy to apply, really comfortable to wear and feel very moisturising. 
The sponge tip applicators make it effortless to create the perfect lip shape with clean lines and even super pigmented coverage.

These liquid lipsticks come in five very different shades; Forgiven - a gorgeous brown nude, Tremor - a cute baby pink, Shockwave - an amazingly bright fuchsia purple, Unleash - a super bright coral orange and finally Firestorm - a beautiful blue toned red.

I love all of the shades in this set, some of which are obviously more wearable than others. My favourites are Forgiven, Tremor and Firestorm. 

Here are lip swatches of all the shades -






Don't you think all the colours are just amazing!? 
Definitely something you need in your make up collection and when you get all 5 for under £12 you can't go wrong.

Thank you for stopping by!
