Hey Guys!
How have you all been?
I am currently entering the dreaded exam time as probably are many of you! (Internal scream) So I've been finding myself online shopping (a lot) to procrastinate whoops! I've been online shopping so much recently the staff at my university accommodation have commented on how many parcels I've been getting delivered and have even joked that I have an online shopping problem which I probably do haha!!
Anyway, on one of these 'shopping trips' I found myself on the Makeup Revolution website. I already own several of their products and I love them!
If you are unfamiliar with the brand 1) where have you been and 2) they are amazing value and remind me a lot of MUA.
Seriously though have a look they offer great products for pocket money prices and have some dupes to higher brand products!
I must admit I spent way TOO MUCH! but they had an offer on that if you spent over £35 you got £5 off and if you spent over £30 you get free delivery and unlike other websites you can use both promotions at the same time!
Here is what I ordered!!
As I said I got free delivery and the parcel was tracked which is reassuring and means I could guess when my parcel was likely to arrive! I was worried that during delivery that the powdered products would all have smashed up but when the parcel arrived everything was wrapped up in so much bubblewrap it would have been impossible to have damaged it! Snaps for you Makeup Revolution!!
I was so excited to open up these products I actually ended up ripping some of the boxes so please excuse any dodgy pictures!
The first thing I want to share with you is the Cover & Conceal palettes. I already own the Light-Medium palette and it is crazy how close to my skin tone this palette is. I originally purchased it as I thought it would be a really good starting point to learn how to contour as it has 8 different shades to use in one! However this palette was too close to my skin tone to be dramatic enough. Saying this both myself and my mum (who bought the palette after seeing mine) have hit pan!
I knew Makeup Revolution did two other Cover & Conceal palettes for different skin tones (Light and Dark) so I thought that they would be better for contouring, so at £6 each I purchased both.
As you can see there are 8 different shades in each palette and what you can't see is that behind the box there is a nice big mirror the size of the lid meaning that these are quite handy to have in your make up bag and to use as a mirror on the go.
Above is the light palette and it really does range from really really pale to a warmer tone closer to a medium colour. (Perfect for a pale beauty to contour I think!) I have (badly) swatched the colours as you can see and I used the Real Techniques Concealer brush to apply it. The concealer itself is creamy and offers a light coverage that you can build up for a heavier look and cover ; it is also relatively long lasting- around 4-6 hours.
Below you can see the dark palette which has been applied the same and is the same as the light palette in terms of texture and application. (I don't really know why it looks like jelly and wet in the picture, it also looks like this is real life where as the light palette doesn't but the product is exactly the same...hmmm strange hahah)
I'm going to do separate blog posts for each of the things I purchased as I don't want the post to be too long!
Have any of you guys tried anything from Makeup Revolution?
See you soon guys!
