Makeup Revolution Blush in Wow Review

Like many bloggers I have quickly fallen in love with Makeup Revolution. They offer amazing products for such affordable prices. They have a fantastic range of products that they are always adding to. Today I am going to be reviewing one of their Powder Blushes in the shade Wow. 

The packaging of this blush is quite simple, it comes in a black compact with a clear lid. Despite being simple the packaging does feel very sturdy and doesn’t feel as if it would break easily. The gold writing on the lid does rub off especially if you keep it in a makeup bag however considering the price you pay this is only a small issue. I like that the packaging is very compact sometimes with more budget brands the packaging can be quite bulky. 

I use the Real Techniques Blush Brush to apply this to the apples of my cheeks. I like the Real Techniques Blush Brush for applying blush as it is the perfect size for applying product to your cheeks. 

The shade Wow is a light pink which gives a natural flush to the cheeks. I am really impressed with this blush as the texture is very soft and it is easy to blend. It is nicely pigmented but not too much so that it looks scary on your face. This blush is completely matte which can be harder to find at the drugstore as a lot of brands opt for shimmery blushes. Makeup Revolution have six shades available to choose from so there should be something for everyone. 

This blush is super affordable and only costs £1 and I would happily pick up more from the range. Makeup Revolution is available online and in selected Superdrug stores.

If you are a fan of blush then I recommend trying these out or if you are new to blush and you want to expand your collection this is a good one to get as it is so affordable.

Top 5 Under £5

As you know I am a massive fan of budget products and today I thought I would share with you my favourites that are under £5. I have done one of these posts before but I thought I would do an update as there are always new products. It was actually very hard just to pick 5 products so I will be doing one of these again in the future. I also found it difficult not to mention the same brands so I tried to pick product from different brands. 

The first item shouldn’t come as a surprise as I have mentioned it before. Makeup Revolution has taken over the blogging world with most bloggers mentioning their products and I can see why as they have some amazing products. The Iconic 1 Palette is a great neutral palette. I reach for this palette so much I love pretty much all the colours in it. The quality of the shadows is impressive, they are very pigmented and easy to blend even the matte shades are pigmented. The palette is £4 which is a great deal as you get 12 amazing shadows. My favourite shades are 2, 3 and 9 the only downside to the palette is that the shades don’t have names.

My next favourite is the Makeup Gallery Blush in Candyfloss. Makeup Gallery is Poundland’s own makeup range. When this first launched I wasn’t that interested as there were other brands that offered products for £1 such as MUA and Makeup Revolution. When I finally picked up a few bits I was really impressed. I really like the blush as it is a really nice natural shade that is great for everyday wear. It adds a pretty flush to the cheeks and I am really pleased with it. The eyeshadows from the brand are also really good. 

I have mentioned the Avon Glimmerstick Brow Definer on my blog many times and I do still really like it but recently I have been using the Collection Brow Definer. This is a very similar product in that you have to twist it up in order to get the product. The Collection one is slightly darker than Avon one but it isn’t too dark. The product lasts all day and it is cheaper (£2.79) and easier to get a hold of compared to the Avon one.

I haven’t tried too much from Essence as up until recently it was that easy to find however now their products are sold in Wilkinsons. I really like their lipstick in Natural Beauty as it is a really gorgeous everyday pink shade. The lipstick is really creamy and quite long lasting.

My last favourite I have mentioned so much that you are probably fed up of seeing it. The ELF Baked Blush in Pinktatsic is a fantastic highlighter. It is a gorgeous pinky/champagne shade that adds a gorgeous sheen to the cheekbones.

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 1 Review

When I placed a Makeup Revolution order I knew I had to try out some of their eyeshadow palettes. I went for the Iconic Palettes as they are dupes for the Naked Palettes by Urban Decay. I have the MUA versions and I had hit pan on a few of the shades in my Undressed palette so I thought I would try the Iconic 1 to see how it compares. Although I don’t own any of the Naked palettes I think the first one would be my favourite as the shades in that palette seem to suit me more. 

Makeup Revolution was launched last year and I have heard nothing but good things about them. They are the new MUA although they are not connected there are similarities in the packaging and the prices. This palette only cost me £4 which is an absolute steal for 12 eyeshadows. The MUA palettes have the eyeshadows in a circular pan whereas the Makeup Revolution palettes have put them in rectangles which I think makes them look more high end. The packaging is a simple black case with a clear bit so you can see the eyeshadows inside. Although the packaging is simple I think it feels very sturdy and I would take this with me when I travel. 

All of the shades are really soft and easy to blend. The shadows are pigmented and even the matte shades are pretty impressive. Recently I have been experimenting with eyeshadow a lot more so I have used pretty much every shade in the palette whereas before I mainly only ever used the first 6 shades. My favourite shades in the palette are shades 2,4,5,6,9 and 11.  I like that you can create so many different looks with this palette, you can be very simple and just one colour all over your lid or you can be a bit more creative. I have been enjoying using shade 11 as a liner and I find that it works really well. I never used to bother using a primer however I have been using one recently and I can see the difference that it makes to the shadows but you can wear these without a primer and they are still very pigmented. 

Shades 1-6

Shades 7-12 

Overall I am really pleased with this palette and I find myself reaching for it on a daily basis. I also have the Iconic 2 and 3 palettes to try out as well and I can’t wait to start experimenting with them. I might start sharing some of the looks that I do with you.

January Favourites

Today I thought I would share with you what I have been loving this month. I haven’t done a favourites posts in a while but this year I am going to try and be more organised with my blog so I will have time to write and post favourites posts more often. 

My last 2 favourites I have been using together. The Makeup Revolution Iconic 1 Palette is a really good quality palette. I have enjoyed experimenting with the different shades in it. It’s hard to pick a favourite shade as I love most of them but my most used shades are shade 2, 4, 6, 9 and 11. My last favourite has been the Real Techniques Eyeliner Brush which I got in the Nic’s Picks set. This is an angled eyeliner brush which is quite small which means you can be quite precise with it. I have been using it to apply black eyeshadow (shade 11 from the Iconic 1 palette) to my upper lash line. I have been really enjoying how that looks and I have been doing it on a daily basis. 

This month I have worn the nail polish Marylebone Mews from Nails Inc a lot. I don’t very often choose to repaint my nails with the same colour as I have a lot in my collection but this one has barely been off my nails. I like this colour as it is very unique and I have nothing like it in my collection. It is a really pretty grey that has lilac undertones. 

I have been really loving the ELF Baked Blush in Pinktastic. This is a gorgeous highlighter which I apply to the top of my cheek bones. I use the Real Techniques Setting Brush to apply it and it gives a lovely sheen to my cheek bones. It is really long lasting and I can still see it even if I’ve been wearing it for hours. 

The next favourite is unfortunately not available anymore but I still wanted to mention it as I have fallen in love with it. The Body Shop Glazed Apple Shower Gel has quickly become my favourite thing to use in the shower. It smells amazing and whenever I use it my whole bathroom smells of it.

What have been your favourites?

Favourite Single Eyeshadows

Today I am going to be sharing with you 3 of my favourite single eyshadows. I have quite a lot of single eyeshadows but they are sometimes neglected as I use a palette more often as it has a wide range of colours in. However I do love single eyeshadows as they can provide a very quick look when I am in a rush. I like to use single eyeshadows  as all over lid colours and I will often reach for them when I am in a rush. 

The first one I have to share with you is from Rimmel, it is from the Glam Eyes range and it is in the shade Tribute(130). I love this shade as I think it really compliments my eye colour on the back it says it compliments blue and green eyes however I think it would look good on everyone. The quality of the Rimmel eyeshadows is really impressive they are so pigmented and easy to blend. 

The next one is a recent discovery for me. I am sure you have heard of Makeup Revolution as they have bought out some amazing products and a lot of people rave about their eyeshadow palettes (which are amazing) but I have fallen in love with this eyeshadow from their single eyeshadow collection. The shade is Sold Out and it only cost me £1. Although the packaging is simple the product inside is brilliant. This shade is so pigmented which is amazing considering it is only £1. I have a few of their other shades on my wishlist to try as I think they are brilliant. 

The last one I have to share with you is an old favourite. It is a cream eyeshadow and it is the MaybellineColour Tattoo in On and On Bronze. I always reach for this when I want a wash of colour over my lids. I use this when I know I am going to be out for a long time as this is really long lasting and once you have applied it, it will not budge. 

Until I photographed them I didn’t realise how similar these shades are to one another.  I guess I just love the bronzey browns as they seem to really suit me.

Do you have any favourite single eyeshadows?

Makeup Revolution Haul

If you are an avid blog reader then you will probably of heard of Makeup Revolution. They are a new brand which seems to have taken the blogging world by storm . They are a super affordable brand with lots of exciting products on offer many of which are dupes for higher end products. 

I recently made an order as I could not wait any longer. After reading so many posts I needed to try some of their products and I know I will be ordering some more as I am very impressed with what they have on offer. Firstly I got 3 of their lipsticks which are only £1. The shades I got were Mystify, Rebel With Cause and The One. 

I picked up 2 of their individual eyeshadows as I heard that they were really good. I got the shades Sold Out and Promised Land. They are only £1 each and they are super pigmented. I picked up one of the powder blushes in Wow!, it is a really pretty pink blush which I can't wait to try. 

I got 3 of the All Day & Night eyeliners after reading good things about them. I got One Sin Too Many, Stars Come Out and Channeling My Inner. I am really looking forward to trying these eyeliners out as when I swatched them they feel really soft and creamy. 

Lastly I got probably one of their most popular products. The eyeshadow palettes have been talked about quite a lot. I got the Iconic 1,2 and 3 palettes which are dupes for the Naked palettes. 

I can't wait to try everything out and I will be reviewing everything as soon as I try it out.
