Makeup Revolution Haul // Who Says Drugstore Makeup Can't Compete?!

I's no secret that Makeup Revolution are currently my favourite drugstore brand. And they have just launched the brand in the US!!!

Congratulations :) 

I am in love with their eyeshadow palettes. I actually didn't bother wearing any eyeshadow really for a while, that was until I tried this brand out and fell head over heels. 

Quite a few of my posts have mentioned this brand and that is because all I have to say is good. 

Their pallets range from £4 to £8 and there are many dupes in there for some of the high brand items on the market. I literally cannot get over how amazing they are. 

It's not just the eyeshadow that they do and that I love, they also do eyebrow kits, lipsticks, lip glosses, blushes, bronzers, highlighters... Seriously the list is endless. 

For you today I have a Makeup Revolution haul where I have collected the items over the space of a few months. It is all still current and on the market, so either pop onto their website here... http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/

Or visit your nearest Superdrug.

I have a mixture of matte and shimmer pallets as well as ones boasting neutral shades and beautiful brights. They are so easy to blend to, especially into the crease and with the vast array of colours within the pallets you can create some super cool looks. I will add one of the looks to the bottom of this post. :)

It's my day of birth on the 7th August so I will no doubt be buying more. 

:) 

My Palette Collection.

Highlighter = Golden Lights £3 Pink Blush 'Wow' £1 Peach Blush 'Now' £1

This highlighter is SUPER AMAZING!! It seriously gives the nicest highlight on your face for a natural glow. The 'Wow' blush is another fave as you can build up the intensity of the colour.  

'Rose Gold' £5

This is so beautiful this colour. I LOVE anything rose gold and this isn't an exception. It sits lovely on your eyes and it portrays such a sunkissed look.  

Flawless Matte Palette £8 = 32 shades.

This palette is gorgeous. I only bought it on Friday so I am yet to use it, but if it's like my other palettes, I am very excited to create some looks. Again the rose gold packaging helped sell this to me.

Eyes Like Angels £8 = 32 shades

I love the little pops of bright colours within this palette. I used the orange to create the look at the end of this post. The colours in each palette are so pigmented and you can layer the colour to how intense you want it. 

Blush Stick 'Matte Malibu' £5

This is meant to be used as a blush (I gather by the title) but I have actually bought it as contour product. It's amazing at creating shadows in the places that require depth on my face. Definitely great to use as a contour stick and at a fraction of the price of many sticks out there.

Essential Mattes £4

Since I have bought this I have been using it every day to create a a smokey eye look. (If I can find a picture of this look I will insert it at the end)I love this palette A LOT. It's so versatile. I use this one and the Mermaids & Unicorn palette the most. 

Redemption Palette Iconic 2 £4 *Dupe for Naked 2*

Iconic Pro 1 £6.99

Run Boy Run Palette £6

You can tell I love my nudes/neutral colours. :D  

Focus and Fix Eyebrow Shaping Kit 'Dark' £2.50

This is the only product I use for my brows (they also have an eyebrow stick which is also good, as I have used it). It contains everything you need. If you want good brow game this is the product to use. 

Matte Lipsticks 'Beloved' 'Divine' & 'Nude' £1 each

These are such pretty shades and you know me I love a matte lipstick as it's the only formula I will wear. These aren't matte enough for me as I like them to be REALLY matte. I do however want to try out the Iconic Pro Lipsticks. These along with some other products are on my previous blog post 'Birthday Wishlist. Go check it out. 

I haven't included a picture of everything but you get the gist of how amazing this company is. They are so underrated and I LOVE them. 

Check out some of my looks below, created with some of their products.

Birthday Wishlist // ft. Makeup Revolution, MAC, Boohoo, Canon, Foxy Locks & More.

Afternoon guys!! 

Yay, it's 12 days until my birthday!! :D 

I don't know why I am saying yay as I am going to be turning 28 and that's no fun. I am still single and childless. My child is SO going to end up coming from a test tube the rate I am going... Anyway that's another story. 

Okay, so lets be positive about the situation. Well this weekend I am having a girly one with my friend, just chilling with junk food and movies. Looking forward to that. And yeah, the Friday after is my birthday (7th Aug). Yes, I am going shopping the same as I do every year. Boring I know, but I refuse to do nothing. I am going to the Safari Park the next day though which I am super excited about. Totally in my element there and I can take my DSLR and take some awesome pictures. It better not rain!!!

Above, I have collated some images into a montage of the items I have been wanting for a long while and will maybe get on my actual birthday. *I won't get it all though, I'll end up broke*

Going from left to right I will give you a little lowdown on why I have picked what I have. 

1. Canon EF 75-300 f/04 0-5.6 III Lens. I need some new lenses ready for the event I am going to in London (Sept) where I am booked as a photographer. I also REALLY want the Pancake lens, 40mm and 50mm. I also want a really good zoom lens. They are SO expensive though.

2. Foxy Locks Hair Extensions in 'Sunkissed Brown 230g'. Okay, so I had a lot hair cut off in March and I have gone this long without extensions. Granted my hair is still pretty long but for me not long enough. I want it a lot blonder than it is now but I don't want to damage my hair. I have had Foxy Locks for years now and for me they are the best on the market. 

3. Zoeva Rose Gold Eye Set. I have wanted these brushes for years!!! I would like the face brushes too. They aren't cheap but I know they are good. I think they are around £40 but they are definitely something I want in my brush collection sharpish. 

4. Mac Matte Lipsticks. I LOVE Mac lipsticks, I only wear matte formulas and these are some of the best. I am after shades, 'Honeylove', 'Lady Danger', 'Flat Out Fabulous' and 'Pink Pigeon'.

5. Mac Lip Liners. I love these liners, they are long wearing and durable. Yes they are pricey for a pencil but they last ages. Again I am after the shades 'Ruby Woo', 'Night Moth', 'Soar', 'Whirl', 'What A Blast', 'Magenta' and 'Shock Value'. Not a lot then :P

6. Mac Paint Pot in 'Painterly' and Mac 'Pale' Lip Erase. Again I have wanted these for quite a while too. 'Painterly' as it's a good eyeshadow base and lip erase as it takes the colour out from your lips to provide a good base for your lipsick. 

7. Dixi Ring. They have some beautiful sterling silver rings. I love anything that is colourful and stands out. 

8. Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro Matte Lipsticks. There are five shades and I want to try them all. 

9. Makeup Revolution Concealer Corrector Pallet. This is new out and I really want to try it and see if it works for my blemishes and dark circles. It looks amazing. 

10. Instax Printer. I love this as you can link it to your phone and print out instax (Polaroid) sized pictures without the actual camera. It's quite pricey though. 

11. Nanshy Brushes. The face brushes look amazing. I need these in my life. I particually like the 'Luxury Makeup Brush Set' and the 'Masterful Collection- Pearlescent White'. 

12. Boohoo 'Jeeny' Camel coat. I am in love with this coat. It's perfect and a total staple for autumn/winter. 

13. Hand weights. My current weights are MASSIVE and SO heavy. I need some smaller ones for every day use. 

14. Ikea Alex Makeup Storage Drawers. I have wanted these for SO long, they are so clean and pretty looking. Every girl has these and I need to be one of them. 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and maybe given you some idea's for your own wish list. 

Until later... Adios.
