MAKEUP REVOLUTION: The Creators Of The Most Beautiful Palettes.

Hello Lovelies,

I purchased these beautiful palettes as I've heard such good things about the brand. The quality and also how inexpensive the products are is just mindblowing. Makeup Revolution is a UK based brand which is available online and in many Superdrug stores in the UK. From my knowledge there are an increasing number of pharmacies stocking Makeup Revolution products so it is definitely a brand to start looking out for on your weekly if not daily trips to your nearest pharmacy/chemist. The products came wrapped in plastic packaging almost like the packaging for missguided and boohoo. The palettes were thoroughly protected by a good few layers of bubble wrap which I was delighted to see as it's always a bit daunting when ordering cosmetics online, that by the time they reach you they are damaged and cracked.

On first glance I was amazed by the quality of the outside cardboard packaging followed by the compact and sleek sturdy palettes. It is evident that they are of serious high quality just by the look and feel of the thick plastic and the sleek and glossy finish. I am just amazed by the quality and pigmentation of all three palettes. I just couldn't wait to use these palettes and really get stuck into creating the most amazing contoured and highlighted looks.

Makeup Revolution are very well known for their ‘dupe’ creations of the products that are high end. If you are curious about what products they have available then I strongly recommend visiting their website (http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/). They have such a variety of products available, from skin bases, eyeshadow palettes, contour palettes, makeup brushes and also an enormous amount of lipsticks with different finishes and shades available. Basically they have everything!

I am seriously blown away by the quality and how sleek and expensive these palettes look. As I said previous I purchased three palettes, two for contouring and one for highlighting. The two contouring palettes I got were the 'Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette', 'Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream Contour Palette' and last but not least the highlighting trio palette is the 'Makeup Revolution Radiance Highlighting Palette'.

Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette

This palette contains three contour shades (two dark brown and one light/medium cool toned shade) two setting powders (one light skin toned and one banana shade) one natural skin toned highlighting powder and of course it doesn't stop there, it also contains a marbled white highlighting powder and a marbled bronze powder. It is clear that they have put serious thought into both the packaging and the layout of their palettes. It is a very versatile palette which can be used all over the face, it has everything you need for contouring, bronzing and highlighting the face in just one palette. What is so handy about these palettes is that they are not big and chunky, therefor they are perfect for travelling. Especially if you want just one palette which can be used all over the face and can create a lot of different yet easy looks with.

£8/€11.99

Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream Contour Palette

There was just no way I could go onto the Makeup Revolution website and not order this palette, I have seen an increasing number of brands start to bring out cream contour palettes since the beginning of this year with some palettes being overly expensive. The formulation is very creamy and insanely blendable. The palette contains four highlighting shades (one very light skin toned/white shade, one banana shade, one light/medium shade and also a white(shimmery) shade) and it of course contains four contour shades (two dark brown, one warm light/medium skin toned shade and one cool light/medium skin toned shade). It really does give you a lot of options and a variety of shades, it is very easy to create a natural contoured and highlighted look as well as being able to easily create a very structured and intense contoured and highlighted look (no surprise that this is my favourite way to contour).

Makeup Revolution Radiance Highlighting Palette

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW! Go onto The Makeup Revolution website and just take a very long look at this gorgeous palette as you seriously need it in your collection. As you can tell from the layout and shade range in this palette, it is a dupe for the 'Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette'. It is definitely a very close contender but as I do not own that palette I cannot compare it on a performance and pigmentation level. But this right here in my opinion is a definite winner. For such an affordable price, it's insane that it is this good. The shades are to die for and it gives you great variety in terms of the shades available and the different undertones that are included in this palette to match anyones skin tone, from the paler girls like myself to the more tanned/darker skin tones. What I adore most about this palette is the control you have over the intensity of the highlight, but I can definitely say, once you start applying you’re not going to want to stop.

Hope you enjoyed this review and that you are tempted to make an order,
I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME IN LUSH!!

So for this blogpost i am gonna give you a look at the new and already existing products from lush!! So being a lover of lush it was great to be invited to their Christmas launch and it was so exciting as it was my first blogger event!

I can't rave anymore about how nice the staff in lush are, how informative they are on every product and the real passion they have for their work, it was such a pleasure to listen to the storys behind every product and seeing the new products if course! AND WHATS THE BEST? It is all organic and vegan.

So as soon as i got in their the staff were so nice and were asking if i needed anything, i also got a lovely personal look at all the new products and if i had to pick one word to describe them i would have to pick 'SMELLSENSUAL' every one of their products have a their own distinctive scent and a story behind them.

The most memorable product and most amazing product would have to be the 'Honey I Washed The Kids'. This product really stood out to me because of the heartwarming story behind it. So as you all know about the nuclear explosion that happened in the Ukraine on the 26th of April in 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The explosion released a large amount of radioactive particles into the atmosphere which are still affecting the people that live near there today. People cannot use the local water or grow crops as they are still to this day contaminated with radiation. So as many lush stores aswell were affected due to this explosion , Lush came up with this AMAZING idea where to create the fun factor for the kids in the area they created this multipurpose product. You can use it for your hair and body, for a nice lathered bath or just for fun as it has this play doh type texture! And not only that but with every purchase 10c goes to helping the people affected by Chernobyl.

We also got a demonstration of how fast the bathbombs lather up, its amazing how much lather you get with such a small piece of the bathbomb! it felt so silky and soft when we put our hands in, it just makes you want a bath right then and there!!

So here are just a few of the amazing products they have for their Christmas line:

'Celebrate' €16.80/Each

This is the most amazing body lotion, it has a lime and orange scent and makes you rush in the shower just to put this on, it feels amazing on the skin and also contains very fine shimmer pigment to give a glow to the skin without being glittery.

Luxury Lush Pud €4.40/Each

 Snowman €3.25/Each

Secret Santa €7.50/Each

This is amazing because when you open it up there is a little santa inside so you get 3 bathbombs in total, so creative and amazing! 

Cinders €3.20/Each

These have little crackling pieces on the top to give you that feeling of sitting by the fire at Christmas time.

So White €4.25/Each 

Shoot For The Stars €4.25/Each

'Bombardino' €3.25/Each 

How cute are these? I couldn't get over these, they look so precious and as soon as you see these you just fall in love!

#

'Magic Wand' €6.50/Each 

These last so long, all you do it hold it under the tap when filling up your bath and let it dry, this is for the people who love the snow fairy shower gel but prefers baths. Such a wonderful bubble gum scent! its amazinggggggg!

'Melting Snowman' €2.95/Each

'The Christmas Penguin' €3.85/Each

'Star Light,Star Bright' €4.50/Each

'Christmas Eve' €3.85/Each

This is of course for the people that like to unwind and relax especially on Christmas eve as it gives of relaxing scents and its definitely on my Christmas eve list!

'Pumpkin' €3.50/Each

Obviously this is part of the Halloween collection but i just had to show these, i need this in my life! i am going to buy one of these and have a relaxing pampering day before Halloween!

'Snow Fairy Sparkle Bar' €6.50/Each

Of course this is a must have for anyone who lovessss the 'snow fairy' shower gel but whats more of a message bar, something to really make you relax in either the shower or the bath. The scent just makes you feel like you're in a bubblegum candy land.

€4.50 for 100g(little one) €6.50 250g(medium size) 

I just had to buy this, it comes out every Christmas and vanishes then till next Christmas so i must get the large one ASAP! can be use on both the body and hair which i have both done, a must have!

'Creamy Candy Bath' €3.95

And there is sooo much more in store that are coming in, go check out all of these products and spoil go yourself! you deserve it!!

I Just had to show this perfume set up! It is amazing, i love the comic feel that they have. The scent 'Sikkim' is the scent i fell inlove with. Normally i go for the fruity scents but this is completely different, this scent is a very spiced scent, like cinnamon. It reminds me of Christmas so i am so getting it for the Christmas months! 

Hope you enjoyed this blogpost i know i enjoyed writing it,
