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!

False Eyelashes Review | 10 Pairs Daily Long Curly False Eyelashes

Hello!

 I'm bringing you an eyelash review today! I used to wear really crazy false eyelashes all of the time last year but it slowly died out. I was thinking perhaps i'd go back to eyelashes to give myself a fuller lash line & went on a quest to find some lovely natural lashes!

I went to Amazon, my preferred place to purchase eyelashes & searched for some natural lashes and found this set of 10 for only 81p!

Once out of the box, The eyelashes are really light and fluttery & the strip they're attached to is actually clear, meaning they sit very discreetly in your lashline! 

I used the Eylure Lashglue to affix these lashes & I'll highly recommend using it!

I added a few small sweeps of mascara and no one could tell I was wearing falsies! Excellent, Ill be wearing these from now on.

Here's the link to these lashes! Get some for yourself if you love the look of them as much as me!

What are your go to false lashes?

That's all for today!

Beauty Buys ❤ December '14 ❤

Hello! Just thought i'd share a few things I purchased yesterday whilst out Christmas shopping with Ricardo!

Westfields was busy & we managed to fill our arms with bags rather quickly, presents for days!

Here's three make-up products I picked up in Superdrug!

Sleek Face Contour Kit

£6.49

Superdrug

I've been eyeing up a contour kit for some while now! The Face Contour Kit, Available HERE is an affordable alternative to the Smashbox & Anastasia Beverley Hills Kits. Pricing up at £6.49 it's a fraction of the price too, Making it an affordable treat for everyone!

I got mine in the lightest shade, 'Light' and I will say the shade is perfect for my very place porcelain skin. It blends well into your makeup and the highlighter is AWESOME.

The compact also has a really nicely sized mirror meaning that it will definitely be a staple in any travel make-up bag I use!

Sleek by name, Sleek by nature.

Gorgeous Color Contour & Highlight.

Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Mascara

£1.99

Superdrug

Miss Sporty is my go to brand when it comes to mascara. I'm not one to look for something that does XXL this and FULL PLUMP that I just want my eye lashes to be black! For £1.99, You can't really go wrong with the Fabulous Lash range from Miss Sporty, It does exactly what it says it does & I love it! 

I picked up the curved edition to see if it does anything different like life my lashes etc, so we'll see!

Curved Brush Fablissimo!

MUA LUXE Velvet Lip Laquer in 'ATOMIC'

£3.00

Superdrug

Following my previous review of the 'Tranquility' shade of these lip lacquers I couldn't help but treat myself to another one! I've been fawning over the color Atomic, Swatching it every time I was in Superdrug and Yesterday I just bloody well bought it! 

It's a beautiful color, A bright Coral-Red and it applies beautifully and sets to a perfect Matte!

My only sad thing with these matte lipsticks is they rub off around the inside of my lips so eating & drinking may not be advised! other that that they are 100% Kiss proof and I can smother Ricardo with kisses without being moaned at! YAY!

ATOMIC

Swatched on the hand.

Super Punchy & Bright! 

P.s. NO BRACES! HOORAY!

That's all for now lovelies!

If you've tried the Velvet Lip Lacquers from MUA, Let me know what you thought?!

MUA LUXE | Velvet Lip Lacquers | Tranquility Review |

So recently whilst on a shopping trip I wandered into the MUA section of Superdrug, I love their range of Value but QUALITY make up & it's always my go to  before hitting the expensive ranges.

I haven't been make-up shopping for a good few months though, so somehow I managed to miss the whole MUA Luxe range completely! 

Whilst there I spotted the Velvet Lip Lacquers which were packaged really nicely & had a beautiful color selection. They resembled the Lime Crime Velvetines, Which retail at $20 US Dollars & are more Hyped, Personally I've read things about Lime Crime which have made me steer clear of them, So seeing MUA's Dupe of this product made me really excited!

Retailing at £3 a pop, They're such good Value for money! And as we all know MUA never fail with the quality of their Items, It's so well presented & the color is perfect!

I brought the color Tranquility (Available Here) and it's a dark Your lips but better color. It's got tones of mauve and pink but can also look quite brown. I love it because it's the perfect nude for me!

The staying power of this lip lacquer is excellent! Once applied and dry, trying to smudge it is impossible! I applied it at the beginning of my 4 Hour shift at work and it stayed on until I finished, however if you're in a place where you talk and smile a lot, it does crack and gunk up! But no complaint from me at all.

Here it is on, Color Tranquility.

(Minus my Medusa piercing, so upset!:( )

All in all I'm super impressed and shall be spoiling myself on payday with a few brighter ones! LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!!

Hope this post is helpful to anyone else umming over them! :)

MUA Haul & Catch up ❤

Hello!

I went shopping with my sister the other day and decided to treat myself to a few bits from MUA, It's such a brilliant brand and everything is so affordable, Going to go back for some eye shadow pallets next I think!

PRO BROW ULTIMATE EYEBROW KIT

£3.50

MUA @ Superdrug

I have wanted a Brow Kit for absolutely ages!

I really wanted to get the Sleek Brow Kit but then I saw this one, shining up at me from the MUA stand, like a grinning child... "I'm better value and I do the same thing, Take me home please!" It said. Grinning away. 

So I bought it, Best £3.50 I've ever spent! Love the colors, and the mini tweezers are good to grab those annoying little hairs!

I feel like this may even be better than the sleek one on the swatches... Cheeky I know!

POWER BROW PENCIL

£2.50

MUA @ Superdrug

I've been looking at the MUA LUXE Lip-glosses for ages, I really want a nude Matte one, but all the ones in this store were sold out, Next to the Eye Brow Kit was this pencil, A Pencil & Highlight combo and it is just perfect for a Natural Travel Make-up bag!

Although I bought it in too light a color, (I used to be a natural blonde but forget I have ridiculously dark brown eyebrows) It still fills in my eyebrows nicely and doesn't look to obvious! I love it!

Also, I had my first Krispy Kreme doughnut EVER. It was yummy and Naturally an Instagram post was needed.

And here's some foody posts!

1/2 Chicken, Rice & Chips from Nandos,YUM.

This was before I drowned it all in Creamy Salad Dressing  grrggrraalllgrrll *mouth waters*

And Last but not least I made some Mini Meringue bites & ate them with fresh Raspberries, yummy yum.

That's all for now!

❤ Real Techniques Make-up Brushes | Where to find them Cheapest ❤

So today I bring you a momentous Blog Post, for I have found a great Deal on these Real Techniques Make Up Brushes, bought to us by the ever famous Pixiwoo Sisters on YouTube!

I had seen You-Tubers and Bloggers alike rave about these fantastic brushes and I pined over them so much! I needed to get myself some, trouble was they set you back a fair bit retailing at the around the £15-£18 mark for each set.

I instantly set to the internet to compare prices from different websites, You know me.. I'm kinda Cheap! I blame it on my Pops' frugal-ness! It's doing me well though!

I stumbled along an online Chemist, Called Gordons Direct that happened to be selling the brushes for an astonishingly cheap price! Of course, me being me I had to check that this wasn't a scam and went down hundreds of reviews from the business and IT WAS LEGIT!

Much to my happiness I found the entire collection which you can view and purchase HERE !!

I chose to get the Core Collection & The Eyes enhanced Starter Set. Both of which have actually dropped more in Price since I ordered last Friday! P&P Is £3 and they take around 5 Days to arrive to London from Ireland.

Here's some pictures for those curious on their condition!

The Core Collection Includes:

Detailer Brush

❤

 Pointed Foundation Brush

❤

 Buffing Brush

❤

 Contour Brush

The Eye Enhancer Set Includes:

Base Shadow Brush

❤

Deluxe Crease Brush

❤

Accent Brush

❤

Pixel Point Eyeliner Brush

❤

Brow Brush

As you can see, all of the brushes are extremely plush and fluffy, Such good condition and worth how much I paid.

I feel like if I had paid more for these or RRP It would of been slightly disappointing..

Anyway, RUN MY PRETTIES! GET THEM WHILE THEY'RE SUPER CHEAP!

Love Love
