Trying Out Makeup Revolution

Recently, I was browsing Superdrug and it lead me to discover Makeup Revolution - a very affordable and high quality line of makeup. Here are some of the things I picked out to try...

Primark's Velvet Matte Lip Crayons

A few years back, I bought a pink lipstick from Primark. It was very inexpensive and was a gorgeous, deep fuchsia shade which received lots of compliments and naturally I used it all up. So when I spotted the same shade in a new product, I was automatically interested.

Is this the cutest (and best) travel palette ever?!

Okay so these pictures make the palette look deceivingly big but trust me, it's about the same size as my bank card and smaller than my iPhone 5. Say hello (beautiful) to the Smashbox Full Exposure Travel Palette...

A Benefit POREfessional Dupe?

When I got a sample of Benefit's POREfessional Primer, I really enjoyed it, but I really didn't enjoy the thought of re-purchasing the full size for £24.50. *Yikes* Hence my mission to find a high street dupe.

NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

Bit of a long name and in my opinion, not really worth it.

Now I finally understand setting sprays...

For some reason, setting sprays have just never seemed to 'set' my makeup - in fact, i've found them to actually make my makeup slip and slide that bit more and that is definitely not what they're for!

 I recently saw Sharon Farell talking about this different application and it worked a treat...

Benefit Rollerlash - Worth the hype?

Is this mascara worth the hype? In my opinion, no. Shocked? Keep reading to find out why.

A NARS Yachiyo Artisan Kabuki Brush DUPE?

In love with the NARS Yachiyo Artisan Kabuki Brush? Me too, but £43 is a lot to spend on a brush, right? Well at least I think so. 

One of the most underrated mascaras?

I think I've finally found my mascara holy grail - yep, a bold statement from anybody that's into makeup. Seriously, this is amazing, but it just doesn't seem to have any recognition or hype online.

That's about to change... Introducing the Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara.

Archery Brow Pencil

Hello! It's been a while.. (Thank you if you've stayed subscribed to me!) but I'm back with another S&G product review. Surprise, surprise...

Disappointing Products III

I love reading these posts. They give you such a good heads up before you part with your money at Boots. I'm back with four products that just don't impress me.

Revlon Colourstay Moisture Stain

I have a bad relationship with any type of lip product that isn't a lipstick. I don't know what it is but I never get on well with the formula - it's always too sticky, not pigmented enough or only lasts 5 minutes.

However these (kind of) new releases from Revlon have changed my mind - I know, I can't believe I'm saying it either. First of all, I love the packaging, it's gorgeous, minimalistic and classy. It has a doe foot applicator which I usually absolutely hate but this one is so soft and gentle on the lips. Gorgeous! 

The Autumn Lipstick Staple

Now that Autumn is here, it's time to dig out the deep berry lipstick shades hidden in the bottom of your make up bag. I've had this one for a while now and I think I will always love it. 

The Holy Grail of Waterproof Mascaras

In a week, i'll be jetting off to sunny Tenerife with my other half (way too excited) and i'll be trying to pack light make up wise. I don't usually wear waterproof mascara but if i'm on holiday and i'm dipping in and out of the pool, I might want to make my eyes look awake without looking like a panda.

Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot Powder

Powder is a make-up bag essential, right? I love a matte finish to my makeup and therefore i'm always looking for a good, long lasting but non-cakey formula. I had heard such good things about this translucent powder so I decided to give it a whirl.

I absolutely love the packaging - it's fun and retro and is really handy for touch-ups on the go. It clicks shut and is a pressed powder meaning it doesn't fallout everywhere whilst you're applying it.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr

I have waited so long to get my mitts on one of these - if you snooped through my eyeshadow collection, you'd find mostly browns, taupes and neutrals, so I really didn't need another. Yet here I am writing a review.

Is this the best foundation ever?

I've been on the hunt for an amazing foundation for so long now, having a flawless base is the ultimate goal in my opinion and this just ticks all the boxes for me.

Soap and Glory Sexy Motherblusher

It seems I am becoming quite the S&G fan, this blog regularly posting reviews of their skincare and cosmetics. It really is just such a good company. When Boots' new offer on Soap and Glory started (BOGOHP) I was obviously there. This time I picked up the One Heck of a Blot Powder (review coming soon) and this Sexy Motherblusher stick. 

Good Things Deep Clean Blackhead Exfoliator

Recently my Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner ran out and I was heartbroken. Therefore; the search began for a new exfoliator and this time it had to be cheap, cheerful and most importantly do the job.

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder

Having pale skin, I've always found bronzer quite daunting - I mean, nobody wants to look like a walking bottle of Tango. However, I decided to take the plunge during these summer months and buy myself a good quality bronzer to warm up my face. Here is where I introduce The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder.
