So this is part 2 of my Makeup Revolution Haul- you may or may not have seen my previous post on the concealer palettes but this is the next part to that delivery! So Enjoy!
For a while now I have been struggling to get a colour to best suit my eyebrows, in a previous post I talked about my eyebrows and whilst I still love the Beauty UK High Brow kit (I actually re-purchased) it was difficult to blend the two brown colours to suitably match my eyebrow colour and even when I did get it, I could very rarely re-create it haha!
On other blogs, I'd seen Brow by I <3 Make up which is a part of the Makeup Revolution brand. This palette contains 3 colour powders and wax (which if I'm honest I still can't work out how to use properly!)
Online they have 3 different shades you can purchase- Fairest of them all, I woke up this groomed (this is the one I went for) and Bold is best. They are all very subtly different from each other just obviously getting darker. The slight transition means that these are great products for matching the powders to your perfect shade!
What you can't see in the picture is that this compact palette has a small mirror in the lid which makes it useful if you are travelling and need to touch up your brows! The kit comes with mini tweezers and a mini angled brush which I don't really use, I used the brush to play around with the wax but other than that I tend to use the Body Shop angled brush as it allows for more control.

At the moment these kits are £2.99 online and are usually £3.99 and in my opinion either way these are great value for money! They have a really great lasting power and don't fade at all during the day and I never notice if they transfer or not so you don't have to worry about smudging your eyebrows down your face. It is also really easy to apply and if you do go wrong you don't have to take all your surrounding make up off as if you use a cotton bud the chalky consistency allows you to easily remove the unwanted make up!
Right so that was brows, now lips!!
I am a serial lipstick collector, I honestly think I own lipsticks/gloss that I never actually worn but swore to myself that I needed, so hey what the heck whats a couple more right?
First up I purchased the Makeup Revolution Amazing Care Lipstick in Electric Love. This lipstick says it provides 'Amazing Hot Colour with Argan Oil' 'High Shine, Intense Colour and Soothe & Hydrate with Argan Oil'. As you can see there is clear layer over the colour and this is what is meant to hydrate and shine your lips so I assume this is what contains argan oil.
I wouldn't say the colour is really intense at all it gives you more of a barely there look which I actually really like, however, you definitely could build up a more intense colour. This product reminds me a lot of the Revlon lip butters but for a fraction of the cost.
The only negative I have of this product is that when you apply it you get like a line of colour in the middle of your lips as the outside of the lipstick is the clear layer so you have to blend the lipstick a bit more so you probably wouldn't be able to apply this that well without looking in a mirror without risking striped lips haha but for £1.50 you really can't complain and it makes for a great daytime lipstick!

My only criticism of this product is the lipstick tube, I hate it. It's really cheap and although its the same shape as a Mac lipstick the chrome pink makes it look like a kids play lipstick. I usually love all things bright, tacky and sparkly but this is an exception to my rule haha however as this lipstick was only £1.99 I can forgive the hot pink shell.

As I was writing this post I was listening to some very loud Disney music (sorry flat!) and I cannot tell you how hard it is to write a blog post, sing (badly) and listen to music all at the same time... lesson of the day I can't multitask very well haha!
Have any of you guys tried any Makeup Revolution products that you think I should try?
Smile Beautiful :)
