All about make up!

Hello everyone !
Like nearly every girl I love make up! I could not be without it or go out the house without it on because let's face it without it I actually feel naked! & I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks that, or am I?
 I love Mac cosmetics they are one of my most favourite brands going but there is a brand I would love to share with you all that I have come to have an obsession with! Which is not only amazing quality, has a vast variety but also so affordable! Which yes makes it even better doesn't it?!
This brand is Make Up Revolution!

I have been using this brand for a while but recently seem to love it even more when I see the new items they keep bringing out! I first came across make up revolution when looking through Instagram. I came across a make up artists page &saw them using some of the products & immediately had to look them up on Instagram & online to find out more! Ever since then it's been lethal you could say aha. But cheaper than Mac though so that's how I justify it with myself. After all we all love a saving :)

I started off with an eyeshadow pallet & adored the colours! There are just so many to choose from & the colours are so pigmented in the palette I got! I was so impressed! That was just the start! Now 3 eyeshadow pallets later, several lipsticks, eyeliners & whatever else later I have now placed another order with them online which I have received & wanted to share with you so you can see just how amazing they are!


I am one for contouring like nearly every person out there at the moment so my first item I just HAD to purchase was the one blush sticks - one for contouring the other for highlight. I have tried using them & have to say they blend so lovely! The shimmer to the highlight is amazing I just love the colouring & texture to it as they are not at all heavy unlike some products I have seen. The contour isn't too dark & for me it suits my skin tone well as I am not really overly pale.


The lipsticks I have tried before & wanted to stock up on a few of my favourite shades! People have recently seen me wearing one of the shades & several have commented asking me what shade of Mac lipstick I am wearing, to find out that it's not actually Mac they are pleasantly surprised! My favourite shades are blindfolded, throne & legend. I love the dark & purply colours lately. So if you like those sorts shades you should definitely check them out!





This is me with the shade blindfolded on. It's such a lovely dark shade! Perfect for the dull Autumn/winter season!


From left to right: Blindfolded, throne & legend.
I really cannot get enough of the colours!

The next item I wanted to try was the brushes. I wanted something to use to help blend while contouring & also for eyeshadows. So I purchased the pro eyeshadow blending brush pro E103, the pro curve blusher & highlighting brush & also the pro eyebrow brush pro E104. This was so I could use it along with my Anastasia Beverley Hills dipbrow which is one item I cannot live without! The brushes on arrival I was surprised with just how good they were. I had ordered brushes off eBay previously. Especially for eyebrows but found after a little while they went funny & just didn't last. But I have been using the eyebrow brush for over a month now & it's still going strong & is the perfect shape & bristles for getting a great shape. I have definitely found a new favourite brush that's for sure so I will be sticking with it!


Another item is the focus & fix eye primer, for anyone who applies eyeshadow without using a
primer you do not know what you are missing out on! Get yourself a primer! I can always notice the
difference now with my eyes when I do & do not wear a primer. Eyeshadows stand out so much
better when wearing one. This primer is perfect & makes eyeshadows seem brighter & more intense. So definitely get yourself a primer if you don't use one you will thank me later :)


The last two items are pure pigments. I have a couple of pots of the Mac pigments & I love them. So I wanted to try these when I saw them especially as they were in the sale at the time for only £0.50! So you could not go wrong & I'm glad I got them. The colours are what they say they are on the pot pigments! The colours are gorgeous! I picked up a pinky & a browny colour which are most definitely the shades I go for.

First: Angelic & then indirect





I have to say indirect is my favourite shade! Such a lovely pigmented colour which is natural & not overpowering!

I cannot  wait to try more of the items make up revolution bring out & that I get my hands on but I definitely will be trying them! & I shall share them with you too :)
