Makeup Revolution || Introduction...

I wanted to do an initial blog post about the make up brand Makeup Revolution. 

I got a little bit excited when I found this brand which basically makes dupes for higher end brands but for a lot less money. They do make up products like eye shadows, pigments, lipsticks, lip glosses (matte and glossy), foundation, concealer, powders, nail varnishes and so much more. Go on their website and check out their endless amount of products!

I have read and seen on various blogs and YouTube hauls different Makeup Revolution products. Everyone is amazed at the quality you get for such a cheap price. There are some palettes called the Iconic palettes which are said to be dupes for the Urban Decay Naked palettes. I don't have the budget for Urban Decay so was thrilled when I found this new brand do the eye shadow palettes for £4 each!!! 

My lovely boyfriend got me the MASSIVE 100 eye shadow palette from Makeup Revolution for my birthday and I absolutely love it. The colours are amazing and super pigmented. Sorry for the bad quality picture but just to show how many colours you get. I still haven't used them all but I definitely have some favourites for doing a natural eye and a smokey eye.

You can get these products off their website which is linked above or from certain Superdrug stores, unfortunately there isn't a Superdrug near me that has the brand yet. However due to my recent London trip I found a Superdrug there that did and collected some eye shadow palettes for Christmas presents. I can't stop staring at them and can't wait to give them out to friends and family at Christmas.

It has recently been Black Friday/Cyber Monday and they had a deal on where when you spent £25 you got £25 worth of products free... so obviously I had to buy certain products I've had my eye on for a while, should be arriving in the post next week. I am really really excited and there will undoubtedly be a haul blog post as soon as it arrives. And I feel like I may become addicted to buying their products so there will most likely be more hauls in the near future as they keep coming up with new products. They have a Facebook page where they update with new deals and new products.

Here are some pictures (I used them in my Anastasia Dipbrow post as well) of 2 makeup looks I have done with my palette.

I shall do swatches etc in the haul post when everything arrives, along with a few more make up looks.

L'Oréal Paris || Nude Magique Eau De Teint Foundation...

I bought this in a 3for2 deal Boots had with my L'Oréal Paris True Match Foundation as I couldn't decide which I wanted more. After a long time testing and retesting I decided I needed them both because they had different qualities. I got the True Match to use on days where my skin isn't happy and needs more coverage. This Eau De Teint Foundation I got as a lighter coverage and the fact it felt so different to anything I have ever used before.

You only get 20ml (£9.99) in this glass bottle which is 10ml less than most other foundations and it doesn't have a pump so you have to be careful when dispensing it. I put my finger over the end and tip it up, then smear it onto different sections of my face. It takes about 3 fingertipfulls for each cheek, one for my chin and one for my forehead, but that depends on how much cover I want, as it is build-able.

The consistency is like water and feels silky but, using my fingers, when rubbing it into my face it feels like powder. Definitely the most interesting combinations of textures I've ever come across. I've been using it on top of my Baby Skin Primer and setting it (not that it needs it) with my Stay Matte Powder. I've tested it with and without my milk of magnesia base and generally if I'm not rushing and sweating I don't need the extra oil absorbing layer under it. It gets a little dewy but nothing I can't deal with. If you go to my True Match post (link is at the top of this post), I have a step by step talk through my make up routine. Staying power - I think it stays on pretty well and due to it's unique coverage even if it rubs off a bit I don't notice because it blends so well into my skin. It's like a layer of perfecting liquid powder with a very natural finish...

I think I love it quite a lot, I will most likely be buying this again.

Trip to London...

I went to London with my boyfriend and did THE most tourist based things you could imagine!

We had 4 full days in London and visited places like Hyde Park, Camden Market, Covent Garden etc. and went on the Emirates Air Line cable cars and the London night tour bus.

I loved how Christmassy everything looks!!!

This is a very visual blog post so hope you enjoy the photos, which are very edited down!
