My Makeup Revolution Haul...

After hearing lots about the new brand Makeup Revolution, mostly good reviews and especially amazing pricing, I had to place a little order to see for myself!! It was very hard to choose what to get as I wanted sooo many things but the Hubby set me a budget and I had to comply lol! So here is what I decided on...

Flawless 32 Ultra Eyeshadow Palette, Cover and Conceal palette and Medium Matte Bronzer.

First up is the matte bronzer for £2 and you get 6.8g of product...amazing!!! 

The bronzer's packaging is a little strange but sturdy and just literally discovered a mirror on the back...great for on the go touch ups. The bronzer is a true matte and has a lovely tone to it, not too red or orangey, perfect for my skin tone. It warms up my skin a treat and has been the bronzer I have been reaching for on a daily basis. The product blends beautifully and lasts on the skin. It is a little light for me to do some contouring but is great for a subtle look. All in all a great product, great pricing and I am looking to try other bronzers from Makeup Revolution to add to my collection :) I already have the Baked Bronzer which I have reviewed in my Bronzer Collection...http://allthatshimmers14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/my-bronzer-collection-and-review.html

Next up is the Flawless Eyeshadow Palette £8 for 32 eyeshadows....

The colours are just beautiful and there is a mixture of matte, shimmer and metallic. I can honestly say this is an amazing palette, the shades are all wearable and doesn't seem to have any dud shades like a lot of palettes do! The eyeshadows blend lovely and are easy to work with, very pigmented and true to colour. The packaging is sleek and shiny black with a huge mirror, which I love! This making it great to travel with as its very slim and compact, considering it has 32 shades! So this is a definate winner for me.


Next is the Cover and Conceal Palette £6 in Light-Medium....

Well surprise surprise...another winner for me (sensing a pattern here lol!) A great shade range for my skin tone, with some to highlight and contour if you like to use concealer (I prefer powder...much easier) The concealers are lovely and creamy and blend sooo easily. The coverage is probably a medium to be honest, so if you are looking for very high coverage I wouldn't recommend this particular palette. I haven't tried any of their other concealers to compare but hopefully in the future. These concealers definately need setting with a powder as they are quite creamy but they seem to last quite well on the skin. As you can see from the picture below the pigmentation is great and the swatches are literally one swipe of the product...amazing!! The same sleek, black packaging which is very sturdy and a big mirror also. This is a great product if you are a budding Makeup artist trying to build up a kit, which is extremely costly. But for £6 you get 8 shades which can cover a few different skin tones, you can't go wrong :)

So I think that this was a very successful haul for me, there is not one product I don't like and definately not a waste of money!! I am very much looking forward to purchasing some more from the brand. I love that they are constantly adding new products to their website all the time.

What do you recommend from Makeup Revolution? Anything you can't live without?

HD Brows Professional Eye & Brow Palette

After reading Miss Makeup Magpie's post on a bargain HD Brow Palette, I knew I had to have one for myself. So after ordering the palette straight away, I was sooo excited to have a play with this when it arrived. I tried to tell myself that it was for my makeup kit for clients (because of the shade range), however I couldn't resist a sneaky little use for myself (ooopss!!).

HD Brows Professional Eye & Brow Palette. Top L-R Ash Blonde, Warm Brown, Medium Brown
Bottom L-R Dark Brown, Rich Brown and Carbon. 

 In the palette you get a huge 4.725g of powder per shade. I purchased the palette for £11.99 with free shipping from Ebay, so this was an absolute bargain. Comparing with my beloved Beautiful Brow Powder which is £15 for one colour.

As you can see there is definitely a shade for everyone and I mix two colours to get my perfect brow colour (Dark Brown and Rich Brown). These powders are the most pigmented eyebrow powders I have ever come across. Literally, a little goes a long way with these, so I can see this palette lasting for ages if you were to use it just for yourself. The powders blend seamlessly into the brows, giving such a natural finish to them. I then tend to finish off with a clear brow gel to groom the hairs into place. I haven't yet used these as eyeshadows, but I can imagine they would blend so easily into the lid. I have also found that these powders do not transfer, once its on, its on and staying put until you use a makeup remover. I love long lasting products, as I don't like to reapply lots of makeup throughout the day. 

So in my opinion everybody should own this palette lol! At this price and the quality and quantity you are getting....its a no brainer for me :)

Is there an eyebrow powder you can't live without?? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
