Radiance Palette

My love for Makeup Revolution products is endless, I love everything about this brand and this cheeky little treat I picked up for myself the other week has got my heart thumping. Highlighting is a huge part of my daily makeup routine, no matter where I'm going; if there is makeup on my face there will always be a heavy handed application of highlighter swept across my face.

Makeup Rev released this cheeky little threesome a few months ago and it's taken me a while to convince myself that I need it. Usually I go for something a little bit on the obnoxious side with lots of glitter and colour, but trying to step away from this I wanted something a little more subtle but hella builable and beaut.

Bloggers are comparing this to the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette but at £56 it's a little bit out of reach for most, where as this devil is a mere £8. The natural glow that this gives is absolutely stunning, and I am so glad that I picked it up. As always the packaging is sleek, well made and contains a big ass mirror for those on the go moments.

Hello beautiful people

"You won't fool the children of the Revolution"

This month Makeup Revolution have launched LOADS of new & exciting products, which a lot of I am featuring in this post.

I thought a good way of showing off not only the new products but my new favourite brand was to (beautifully) slap their products all over ever inch of my face.

Everything on my face is by Makeup Revolution, down to the primer! The only thing that aren't by MUR are the brushes I used, simply because I don't own any MUR brushes.

Products Used:

All products are links

Ultra All Day prime and anti-shine balm*

Iconic Dreams*

Viper Mascara*

Golden Sugar Ultra Blush & Contour Palette *

Pink Dew The One Fluid Blush*

Matte Malibu The One Blush Stick*

Medium Ulra Aqua Brow Tint*

The One Amazing Lipstick

Focus & Fix Eye Primer*

Naural Matte Foundation

My 2 favourite items from the new range are Golden Sugar Contour Palette & Iconic Dreams Eye Palette

I am also really really really really really loving the Viper Mascara, the wand is epic as well as the formula. Your lashes look long, thick but still separated; everything you need in a mascara!

Expect lots of individual reviews on these products in the future!

 What are your favourite things from the new range?

lots of love

Hello beautiful people

"I would stop shopping, but I'm not a quitter"

Over the past few weeks I've picked up a few bits here and there so I thought I'd show you what I've purchased because you're all nosy parker's just like me!

Because everyone and their mums are talking about it I had to purchase Dior's Star Foundation and try it for myself, and needless to say I absolutely love it! A full review will be coming soon :)

I love Back2Mac and I take advantage of it around 4/5 times a year, well I am a hardcore Mac fan aren't I?  So it was that time where I was ready to cash in my 6 empties for a free lippy woohoo! I went for Impassioned which is a beautiful red toned pinky coral colour with an amplified finish. 

My skin has been pretty bad this month and I saw that the wonderful Jeffree Star used Lush's Mask of Magnaminty to keep him blemish free. I wanted to try it as soon as I saw his recommendation, I purchased the Self Preserving version as it has more moisturing ingredients than the standard one. 

The next item I purchased is a discontinued Urban Decay eye shadow in the shade Acid Rain. I think this shade is still available but in the new packaging :)

Now I don't usually buy from Barry M unless it's nail varnish but my mum was having a browse at the lip products when I spotted their Loud Mouth extreme lip colour in the shade Diva. I love how glossy these are, great for a dramatic evening look.

Last but not least I caved in and purchased the Lime Crime Velvetine in Wicked. Oh my how I adore this lip product, it's extremely long lasted and doesn't feather like the cheaper brands. Everyone raves about these so I thought I would insert a photo with me wearing it :)

lots of love

Hello beautiful people;

"Shopping is the best medicine"

I'm right back at it again, are you bored of hauls yet? Hope not!!

Another drugstore one for you guys, all products are by the brand MUA and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't absolutely loving MUA at the moment.

MUA products are available at most Superdrug stores in the UK, if you're not in the UK you can purchase things here. 

SO this is what I got (left to right, top to bottom):

Matte Eyeshadow Palette in Ever After

Velvet Lip Lacquer in Tranquility 

Matte Eye Shadow in Chesnut

Matte Eye Shadow in Midnight

Lipstick in Shade 13

Matte Lipstick in Totally Nude

Brow Define in Fair

Eye Shadow in Champagne 

I thought I'd be nice and helpful and do some swatches of the lip products I purchased!

Shade 13, Tranquility and Totally Nude

What is your favourite MUA product?
