| £1 Mac Dupes! | MUA, Makeup Revolution & Primark |

Hey guys! 

I spend around 30% of my shopping trip fawning over Mac products, Don't we all? But of course It is no where near affordable (in my case at least) to spend £15.50 on a lipstick.

 £15.50 to me is a Takeaway for two at the Local Indian, or My phone bill for the month paid... soooo I instead took it apon myself to swatch my favourite shades from MAC's selection and to find some much cheaper alternatives!

One shade I seem to hear a lot about is Velvet Teddy! It's sold out virtually everywhere & all I see is selfies wearing it.. I found two perfect dupes of this Lipstick! 

The first Dupe I found was this Lip Pencil from Primark!

It was the last nude one there and (naughty) I tried it on the back on my hand only to discover it was a perfect match!

Middle Swatch: 

Bottom is Velvet Teddy, Top Swatch is the Primark Lip Pencil! Identical colours!

You'll be as excited as me to know that this Pencil is only £1! Totally awesome and affordable!

The Second Dupe I found for Velvet Teddy was this MUA Matte lipstick. As part of the Matte collection that I so already love, I couldn't turn down this Mauve almost Brown colour.

Swatched, It once again become identical to Velvet Teddy! Not only that but this winner was also £1!

Here it is on:

*excuse my dry lip situation...

After finding those, I went to see what I could find for 'Rebel' by MAC. I didn't get a picture of the Mac swatch I had because I'm a bumhole... buuuuut I did find an excellent and slightly obvious Dupe!

This is Makeup Revolutions 'Rebel With Cause' and is obviously a alternative thanks to it's name! It's a gorgeous Dark fuchsia purple & has a slight iridescence it it!

Just like the previous two, This lipstick is only £1! RIGHT ON.

Here it is on:

Okay, so that's all I could find this time round! Being as successful as I was I'm definitely going to look for a few others too!

What's your best MAC dupe?

Makeup Revolution | Iconic 3 Palette Review

Hello Lovelies,

Today I thought i'd bring you a Makeup Review!

Today I'm reviewing a palette from a Brand i've wanted to try for a long time, Makeup Revolution.

Similar to M.U.A which is a huge favourite of mine, Most items are under £10 and many of which are around the £1.00-£3.00 mark. Excellent for when you're on a budget!

I decided to choose a palette to review as I've been wanting one for a while, I love having smoky & nude eyes. This palette is the Iconic 3, A dupe of the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette and a pretty good one too from swatches i've seen comparing the two!

What got me was the price tag, at only £4, You really can't argue with that!

Here's the palette swathed for you, this is from one swipe on my finger & straight to my arm. You'll have to forgive me with the lighter tones as I have very pale skin but at least you can see how they look on Porcelain skin tones!

Here's the lightest shade in just one swipe on my finger, As it didn't even show up on my ghost skin!

All of the shadows are really well pigmented, and are silky to the touch making them really gentle on the eyes when applying.

I especially love the metallic colours they apply so nicely on my outer corners without that cakey/chunky glitter feel.

Here's a Night look & a Day look I put together for a feel of how the pigments look.

ICONIC NIGHT

I love how the bold Grey-Brown colours look with my blue eyes, Nude palettes always bring out the blue so much more!

The colours in this palette in particular have a really nice grunge feel to them and the shadows are really blendable for a smoked out look.

ICONIC DAY

I love the Rose Gold shimmer colour and how it looks in my crease. I wear this look everyday, It was nice to swap my regular M.U.A Shimmer eyeshadow & my 17 Statuesque Eyeshadow for two in a Pallette, Having dupes of these colours in one place will be good for travelling without bringing loads of single eye shadows!

All in All I really loved this Palette and will 100% be purchasing more from Makeup Revolution in the near future!
