Spring Releases.

As the whole festive season is well and truly over, all the new Spring collections have overtaken the make-up stands and I have to say there are some pretty beautiful collections going around. The Maybelline new releases though really caught my eye, I dont normally buy much from Maybelline but they have released some really lovely products for the new season. 

Other than Maybelline I spotted the Makeup Revolution 'The One Matte Stick' in the shade Malibu which is a matte cream bronzer. In appearance these are a dupe for the Nars Multiple and consistency is quite similar aswell; I picked this shade as I wanted to give it a go for contouring. However these are SUPER pigmented and this shade is quite dark so a light hand is necessary, these do blend really nicely so with abit of work it even worked on my ghostly skintone!

Now from Maybelline I picked up their new mascara, 'Lash Sensational' I have tried this and it is good but not my favourite, I really had high hopes for this as I had seen such great reviews but I think it is such an individual thing and this just wasn't quite right.

Secondly I had to pick up one of the new lipsticks to feed my obsession with all things lips. The shade I got was '168 Petal Pink' which is pretty much what it says on the tin, just a really pretty light pink, very summery and bright. 

Lastly I reached for one of the new Colour Show polishes and was not dissapointed! The shade is 'Bouquet' and put over a light pink/lilac is just super pretty and very seasonal, it applies pink and white with rose gold to create a floral effect. I can see me using this alot of the upcoming months!

Let me know if you have picked anyrhing up from the new releases for Spring! I read all the comments and will reply to any questions.

Makeup Revolution: On The Go Palette

So in 2014 Makeup Revolution became one of the most standout drugstore brands for me, it is super affordable and the quality of the products are just amazing. I'm a big fan of how they create dupes of much more expensive products so if you aren't sure on whether its worth splashing the cash you could try their version first and save some money. 

I saw the On The Go! palette online a couple of months ago and thought the general layout and colour scheme looked somewhat familiar but couldnt quite figure out where I had seen it before. It wasn't until I was on Sephora and saw the Tarte Rainforest After Dark palette that I realised how good this dupe was especially for me living in the UK as Tarte is quite difficult to get hold of. 

The set contains six eyeshadows, a blush, a bronzer and a highlighter. It is a warm toned palette and also has a pink flush to it that is something I tend to use alot. The formula of these shadows is super creamy and soft, and do remind me of Urban Decay's shadows, the pigmentation is really great and they blend beautifully! 

I haven't swatched the three face products as the highlighter was hard to get to show up on camera and the other two simply come off exactly how they look in the palette. The bronzer is one of my favourite parts of this set as it is a great contour shade and applies really nicely to the skin, it is buildable without going muddy so you can be as light handed or severe as you like! The blush is a simple pretty pink that pretty much goes with most make-up looks and just adds that nice hint of natural colour or again can be built up for more of a pop. Lastly of course is the highlighter, this was the one thing I honestly thought would let me down, I am super fussy when it comes to highlighters as I prefer sheen and metallic to glitter and usually the more affordable brands stick as much sparkle in there highlighters as possible however Revolution has shut me up yet again! This is the most natural, pretty subtle glow highlighter I have ever found, it just adds that healthy look to your skin without adding too much of anything, super pretty!

I'm completely loving this palette as for only £4 you get so much value for your money, I would recommend this for any of the products individually all of them are worth the £4 on their own so even if you only want to give it a go for just the bronzer its well worth a try! 

Let me know if you have any favourites from the Revolution range, I read all the comments and will reply to any questions.

Mac Rebel Dupe For £1!

I always get excited when I find more affordable dupes for popular more expensive products and ever since Makeup Revolution came to my work I have found so many! They have the Iconic palettes which are exact dupes for the Urban Decay Naked Palettes except Revolution's are only £4 saving you £33 which is just amazing.

Now for todays post I am soooo happy to have found a drugstore dupe for Mac's Rebel, I know that many brands have their berry shades and all have a similar idea of what Rebel looks like but this is an exact colour match for £14.50 less than Mac! The Revolution shade is from their Vamp range and is called Rebel With Cause; the only difference between the two products is the formula, both are super pigmented but the Revolution shade is more creamy, it does last a good amount of time on the lips but does wear off a slight bit quicker than Mac's but not enough to warrant such a price difference. 

Mac Rebel... Revolution Rebel With Cause. 

My advice would be if you're looking to dupe a product especially from Urban Decay or Mac go and give Makeup Revolution a try, they would also make great stocking fillers for makeup lovers or for younger girls starting out in makeup as you get such great quality for such an affordable price! 

Let me know if you've used any Revolution products and what you thought in the comments below, I read and reply to everyone!
