Makeup Revolution Blush Palette // Sugar and Spice

The Makeup Revolution Blush Palettes all look so appealing with such a large range of colours, but the Sugar and Spice Palette drew me in the most. I bought this palette from Superdrug for just £6.00 which is a really good price as the product is such high quality. 
 
 
When I saw this product on the shelf I just had to pick it up. I looked at the other blush palettes that the brand have to offer and this was the one I liked the most. However I still want to buy a few more as they are all so beautiful. 

The packaging is so sleek. It's quite big so isn't perfect for travelling but that's not what I bought it for so that doesn't bother me. The mirror in the lid is perfect if you don't have a mirror to hand as it is large. The product is in quite large circles which means that you get a fair amount of blush for the price.

The quality of these products is just amazing. The colours are so opaque and vibrant. My favourites are the second along on the top row and the one below it. I use the darker, brownish colour as a bronzer and the pink as a blush almost everyday when I'm just wearing a toned down look. I have never had any problems applying or blending these products with the brushes I use and they aren't dusty at all, even the glittery shades. You do only get a little product on your brush but that's really all you need as the blushes are so highly pigmented. 

 
Overall I am very impressed with these products and will definitely be buying a few more of these palettes when I get the money. I highly reccmends the palette to anyone who loves to have a little colour in their cheeks.

Top 4 // Spring Nail Polishes

Pastel nail polish is just perfect and what better time to wear it than spring. I have a lot of nail polish colours that I love, but considering it's spring time, I thought I'd share the brighter more floral ones with you.
From Left to Right: Barry M Sugar Apple, Rimmel London Lose Your Lingerie, Barry M Mint Green, Barry M Berry Ice Cream.



Barry M Sugar Apple - This is a gelly polish and to be honest I find the consistency a little gloopy, however this could be because of how old it is. The colour is just beautiful. A really light baby blue with a lovely shine is just brilliant for the spring.

Rimmel London Lose Your Lingerie - This polish isn't only one of my favourites for spring but also one of my all time favourites. Not only is the colour such a lovely pearl pink but the consistency is just brilliant. It glides on like a dream and dries in such a smooth layer. 

Barry M Mint Green - Once you have managed to layer up the nail polish enough for it to be opaque, the colour is gorgeous.  The mint green is so bright and floral, perfect for the spring. The consistency is really nice too and glides on and dries perfectly. 

Barry M Berry Ice Cream - This is very similar to the mint green in the way that you have to apply a few coats but once you have it is beautiful. The consistency is lovely and it looks just like ice cream.

Makeup Revolution // Baked Eye Shadow Palettes



Makeup Revolution sell some of the most beautiful drugstore makeup on the market in my opinion. Every time I see something of theirs I like, I just cannot resist the temptation. I recently bought some new products by Makeup Revolution from Superdrug and I am so excited to create some lovely looks with them. I purchased the Chocolate Deluxe and the Electric Dreams Baked Eye Shadow Palettes and I'm impressed to say the least. Also, to make it even better, they're only £2.50 each!

As soon as I saw these palettes all I could think about was how many different looks I could create with them. The shimmery shades stood out among all the other eye shadows that I had looked at they were the ones that I was desperate for. When I swatched them in the shop I was surprised by how pigmented they were and after playing about with them a bit I can confidently say that they look just as good on the eyes.

The packaging for the products is very sleek. The clear top allows me to see which palette is which without having to open it up. The gold lettering contrasts beautifully with the black plastic holder and the shadows are a lovely shape.

 The pigmentation of the shadows is really good as you can see from the pictures above. The shadows aren't glittery as such but have more of a pearl effect as they reflect the light. They aren't dusty and I haven't experienced any fall out so far. The palettes include a wide range of colours from light to dark. If I had to pick some favourites I would have to say the gold on the Chocolate Deluxe and the lightest purple from the Electric Dreams. The only problem I have with these palettes is that the shadows don't have individual names but that doesn't effect the quality so it isn't a big deal.
 
Electric Dreams
 For this first look I used three of the colours from the Electric Dreams Palette. I used to bottom right colour in my crease and the outer corner of my eye and blended it out. I then put the top right colour on my lid and the top left in the inner corner of my eye to brighten the look. I also used some of the bottom right colour under my eye.


Chocolate Deluxe



 For the second look I used the penny colour from my MUA Matte Palette and applied it to my crease. I then put the bottom right colour of the Chocolate Deluxe palette on my lid and the top right colour in the inner corner of my eye. I also put a little of the penny colour under my eye.

I love these palettes and would recommend any makeup revolution eye shadows to everyone. They are just perfect!
