NOTD: Revlon Vintage Rose

Today I am sharing with you what I was wearing on my nails. I have quite a few polishes from Revlon that I have picked up in Poundland. They have a great shade range to choose from. 

The shade Vintage Rose is a dusky pink shade but unlike a lot of the dusky pink shades that I own this is slightly darker. If I am honest I was not a massive fan of this shade. I don’t know what it was about it but I wasn’t that keen on the colour. If I wear pinks I either prefer something lighter or a bright pink. 

I like Revlon polishes from the Colourstay line as they have a wide brush which makes the application really easy. I used two coats of this for the colour to be fully opaque. I find these polishes to be pretty long lasting this lasted me just over a week before it started to chip. 

The finish was really smooth and glossy something which I really look for in a nail polish as I can not stand matte nails. Sometimes I think my base coat really helps contribute to the glossy finish. I use the Nailgirls 3 in 1 Base Coat, Top Coat and Nail Strengthener which I got in a Glossybox. I really want to try the new one from Collection so I’d be interested to hear if anyone has tried it.

MUA Haul

When I got an email from MUA saying that I had a 20% code because it was birthday I knew I would be making an order. I haven’t bought anything from MUA in a while but I had quite a few items on my list that I wanted to try and they also had some items in their sale. I got quite a lot of products and I think it cost me around £25 with post and packaging. 

I picked up a few of their brushes. I have tried the Powder Brush (F4) and the Eyeshadow Contour Brush (E4). I think the brushes are really great value for money. I got the Blending Eyeshadow Brush (E3) which was £1.95 and the Eyebrow Brush and Comb (E6) which was £1.50. 

I got the 2 of the Sweet Sheen Lip Balms which are a new launch as part of the Spring collection and cost £2 each. I think that these might be similar to the Lip Butters from Revlon and I can’t wait to try them out. I got the shades French Violet and Cherry Bomb. 

I went a bit lip product crazy. I got 3 of their £1 lipsticks. I got the shades 7, Tulip and Persian Rose. I also got 2 of the Intense Kisses as they were only 75p, I got the shades Kiss and Tell and Stolen Kisses.

I picked up a few of their single eyeshadows as I had heard good things about them but I had never actually tried them myself. I got shade 12, Bronze and Misty Rose. All of the single eyeshadows are £1 each. 

I decided to get the last 2 blushes so I could complete my collection. I needed the shades Bon Bon and Cupcake in order to have all 6. I am looking forward to using these as I really like the MUA blushes which are only £1. 

I saw that they had the Twelfth Night Palette in the sale for £2 so I thought I would pick it up as it is different to most of the palettes I own. It is a perfect palette for winter time as it has browns, greens and purples. I also picked up the Extreme Metallic Quad in Go Getter which had been reduced to £1. This has a beautiful range of neutral metallic shades which I know I will get a lot of wear out of. 

I love testing out new brow products so I thought I would try the Power Brow which comes with a highlighter as well. This was £3 and I am looking forward to seeing what it is like. The highlighter that comes with it looks gorgeous. I picked up one of their new Whipped Velvet Lip Lacquers in the shade Ritzy. These are part of their Spring collection and as I quite liked the original Velvet Lip Lacquers I thought I would give this a go. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul and I will be reviewing everything as soon as I’ve had chance to try things out.

Me Me Me Beat the Blues in Pearl Pink Review

I received this in one of my Glossyboxes and I was very happy to see it in there. I am a massive fan of highlighters and I really like liquid ones so I was looking forward to trying this out. I have never tried anything else from Me Me Me and I haven’t heard too much about the brand. 

At a first glance some might mistake this for a nail polish as the packaging is very similar. It comes in a clear glass bottle with a black lid that has a thin brush attached to it. I like the packaging but due to it being in a glass bottle it isn’t the most travel friendly of packaging. You receive quite a lot of product in the bottle as well (12ml which is more than a lot of nail polishes). 

I use the brush that comes with this to dot the product on my cheek bones. I then use the Real Techniques Multi Task Brush to blend it all in. 

This is a really pretty pale pink shimmery highlighter and it is similar to Benefit’s Highbeam although this looks more pink. This is pretty long lasting and lasts pretty much all day. Sometimes it will be half way through the day and I’ll just get a glimpse of it. I think it looks really pretty and I use it as a highlighter on top of a blush or sometimes I will wear it by itself as it looks really pretty. Although this is shimmery it is not too much and doesn’t make your face look glittery at all. It gives a lovely glow to the skin that I really like.

FOTD #3

 Today I am going to be doing another Face Of The Day, I really enjoy doing these posts as I can show you what makeup I am currently enjoying using and I can give you a mini review of each product.

I start with the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation which I am really enjoying. I love the new light shade that Rimmel has which is light porcelain as it matches me really well. This foundation has a really natural finish and has a medium coverage. I have been trying the Collection Illuminating Touch Concealer which I like to use under my eyes as it really helps to brighten the area. My skin hasn’t been that great recently so I have had a few blemishes so I have been reaching for an old favourite; the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. This concealer is offers a medium- high coverage so is perfect for hiding blemishes. I then apply my Rimmel Lasting Finish Powder as I am really enjoying it at the moment. It is a very fine powder so it doesn’t look too cakey on the skin. 

I used my Makeup Gallery Blush in Candyfloss as I love the natural flush that this gives to my cheeks and it is only £1. I have been experimenting more and more with bronzer recently, I opt for an overall bronzed look rather than a heavily contoured look. I have been using the Collection Bronze Glow in Sunkissed which is a really pale colour so is suitable for my skin, it does have a bit of shimmer in it but it is very subtle. 

For eyeshadow I have been enjoying using the Collection All About The Eyes Palette. I use the shade Dazzling Brown all over my lid, Cocoa Dream in my crease, Feather as an inner corner and brow bone highlighter. I then used Blackbird as an eyeliner to line my lid. The quality of this palette is fantastic, the shades are very pigmented and it only costs £3.19. I have been enjoying the new Benefit Roller Lash Mascara. It really helps to curl your lashes and it makes them look fuller and longer. For brows I used my Collection Eyebrow Definer which is one of my favourite brow products at the moment. 

Lastly on my lips I am wearing a new favourite the Essence Lipstick in Natural Beauty. This is my Kylie Jenner lipstick as it is very much a pink nude. Brown toned nudes don’t suit me as they clash with my pale skin. I am in love with this lipstick though as it is slightly darker than my natural lip colour so it is great for wearing every day and I can apply it without a mirror.

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.

What’s your favourite Makeup Revolution product?
