Make Up Revolution Palette Haul

When make up revolution first launched I placed a very small order and purchased just a few things to try out. Out of the 3 products 2 were awesome and one was disappointing (look out for that product in tomorrow's blog post) so when I saw they had some new palettes out I couldn't resist checking them out. I ended up getting 5 palettes at £6 each, 2 eyeshadow palettes, 2 blush and contour palettes and 1 concealer palette. So without further ado let's talk palettes!

Ultra Cover and Concealer Palette in Light- Medium

This palette contains  8 shades of concealer which I would say are on the lighter side of light to medium. I have wanted a concealer palette like this for ages, I previously got one from ELF but it didn't live up to expectations and only features 4 quite similar shades. I think this will be awesome for concealing everything from blemishes to dark circles but also will be fun when trying to contour like Kimmy K. 

Ultra Blush Palette in Sugar and Spice

This again contains 8 shades and I have to say I think I love every single one! All the shades are quite bright and pink toned with an almost white baked highlighter to complete the line up. All of the colours are pretty matte and range from bright pinks to bronzey colours with one baked blusher to match the highlighter. The pink colours in this palette are so bright but I am very excited to have a play around. 

Ultra Blush Palette in Hot Spice

As before 8 shades this time all beautifully coral toned colours. The highlighter and one blush are again baked but this time there are 4 shimmery colours which when I swatched them looked stunning. I'd say I like the other palette slightly more on first impression but after playing around with them both that could definitely change. I think I prefer the highlighter in this palette though because it has more of a pinky undertoned. 

Dia De Los Muertos Eyeshadow Palette

This features a highly impressive 18 shades, 12 shimmery, 6 matte colours. This isn't probably the palette for girls who love a neutral look! I would say there are 10 shades that I would wear day to day but the other 8 are definitely brighter more colourful colours than you would want for everyday make up! I wanted to get this palette because I think it looks really fun and over the summer I have a few events coming up that I want to wear more colourful make up for! After first swatch my eye is on Redemption is Near, Affirmation, Live Life and There Is Always A Way Back. 

What You Waiting For Eyeshadow Palette

Now to the complete other end of the eyeshadow palette spectrum with this neutral eyeshadow girls dream! I think every colour in this palette is just stunning! Some of the colours aren't dissimilar to those of the Naked 3 (May do a full comparison at a later date) and are going to be perfect for a smokey eye. I think some of my favourite shades are Now It's Only Me, Take A Chance, Stupid H... And Sex Chromosome. 

I am sure you will be hearing more about all these palettes as I use them more and more. Have you guys picked up any of the new palettes? So that's it over for my last haul for a while! Please come back tomorrow where I am going to be a little Debbie Downer and talk about some disappointing products, follow me on Bloglovin so you don't miss that. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading,

July Favourites: Make Up Edition

So my final installment of monthly favourites and by far my longest list (sorry). July has literally flown by but I have still managed to notch up quite a few favourites!

First up a recent purchase and it is No 7 eye shadow brushes. Boots were doing their £3 off No7 make up at the beginning of the month so with my voucher in hand I purchased two of these brushes, the eye colour brush and eye shadow blend and contour brush. Both of the brushes are a really good quality and are now practically the only eye brushes I use. The eye colour brush is perfect for applying colour all over the lid where as the eye blend and contour brush is amazing for using in the crease ( a dupe for Mac 217 maybe?) Both are great brushes and also such a good price!

Mac Girl About Town

Next up is a cheeky product. I love drugstore make up but this is a higher end product, but a girl deserves a treat every once in a while I think!! This lipstick is £14 but I think it is completely worth the price tag. Mac Girl about town is just a stunning colour and has such a lovely texture and feel on the lips (like most mac lipsticks). The super bright pinky purple colour looks lovely on the lips and has great pigmentation. I'm loving a bright lip this summer and this a must have lipstick when it comes to summer brights. 

Now concealer. Over the last month or so I seem to have unintentionally gathered quite a collection of concealers and this is a fairly new addition to my stash but is already becoming a firm favourite. Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer is the perfect under eye/highlight concealer. You only need a small amount but it completely brightens your eyes and brings out those cheek bones. Over July I have found myself reaching for this more and more. I have struggled to find an under eye concealer but I think this has finally filled the whole in my make up life. If you haven't tried this head down to the shop right this second and try it out!


Eye shadows have been a must have this month and I find myself grabbing my MUA Undress Me Too palette literally everyday. The selection of 12 colours is great and the pigmentation is even better. I don't want to talk about this product too much as I have recently reviewed it so if you want to know more check out my review here.






Staying on the eye shadow theme I have also been loving this No7 eye shadow in Mink. I think I found this at the bottom of my Mum's make up bag about 6 months ago and stole it, as she has never used it. I wasn't expecting great things but I was pleasantly surprised. If I'm in a rush I just quickly apply this to the lids and I'm good to go. This colour is also really complimentary to many of my other eye shadow favourites so it is perfect for blending with other colours for a more dramatic eye look. 

So that is it for another monthly favourites! I have loads of blogs planned for the coming months but if anyone has any requests or suggestions do let me know! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading!
