Makeup: Brights

I haven't done a makeup look for a while so I'm going to try to post some more often. I thought I'd wear some of my new makeup products from Makeup Revolution as I'm a bit obsessed with them at the moment, I just want to buy everything!

I went for a bright look today as they're quite fun to do.

Review: Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm In Unapologetic

I saw some swatches of the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Unapologetic on a few blogs and it looked like such a gorgeous colour, I had to go buy one for myself.

It's lovely to apply to the lips and I quite like the chubby lipsticks, I have some similar ones from Nyx.

This is really long lasting and it stayed on my lips for hours even after eating which is pretty good.

You can buy this from Boots for £7.99.

Review: Models Own Speckled Polish In Duck

I absolutely love the speckled nail polishes, they remind me so much of mini eggs which I love! I think I'm going to be wearing this polish a lot this year, it's definitely a favourite this month. I only bought the blue one from the collection as it's the one I liked the look of most. I will probably end up buying some of the others though as they all look really lovely.

I applied 2 coats on my nails, without a top coat. It lasted about 3-4 days before it started to chip off which I'm pretty pleased with. Usually nail polish just seems to chip off my nails so quickly.

I actually forgot to take a photo straight after I applied the polish so the below photos are after about 4 days and you can see there are a few chips but they're not looking too bad.

You can buy this from Boots for £5

New Bedroom Curtains

I think I may have mentioned in a previous post that I'm currently re-decorating my bedroom, which is so exciting! I've only painted the walls white and bought some new curtains so far. I'm going to have one of the walls wallpapered with a pink flower design so I wanted some curtains that would go with that. I'd been surfing on the internet for ages looking for some curtains that were pink or had pink flowers when I came across these beautiful curtains on Amazon. They aren't proper curtains really but they are so pretty and girly.

It took me a while to put them up as I had to keep looking at the picture, they don't look exactly the same but they do look lovely.

They also came with ties to tie back the curtains, I've just got them wrapped round my bedposts at the moment but I'm going to get a new bed soon so may have to get some little hooks in the wall or leave the curtains hanging down. Not sure at the moment.

What do you think of these curtains? Are they something you'd buy?

Haul: Makeup Revolution

I recently heard of a new makeup brand called Makeup Revolution which has now launched in Superdrug, you are able to order directly from Makeup Revolution too. They are affordable, good quality and cruelty free. I had a little surf on their website and had to put an order in as they have some great products.

There was so much I wanted to try out but I couldn't get everything so here's what I did buy

The One Foundation in Shade 2 - £4

I was a bit shocked when I opened this up as it's quite a small bottle but for the price it's quite good. It's quite a watery formula and is light coverage so I'd probably wear this when my skin is looking quite good and doesn't have any blemishes. This shade does seem a good match for my skin though so I'm pleased with that.

Liquid Concealer in Fair - £1.50

This shade of concealer is actually a bit dark for my skin and it's the lightest shade they do. It has a nice texture and blends well, it's quite a light coverage and didn't cover my dark circles but mine are quite dark.

Focus & Fix Eye Primer in Original - £2.50

This does pretty much what it says, it's a primer. It's applies a cream colour and blends out into your skin. I like the creamy texture of this.

Powder Blushers in Treat and Hot! - £1

Treat

Hot!

These blushers are gorgeous, I love the 2 shades that I bought. Treat is the peachy colour and Hot! is the pink colour. They're really pigmented and they blend really well. I will definitely be wearing these a lot.

Full Scandalous Eyeshadow Collection - £4

I bought the whole scandalous eyeshadows collection which contains 5 eyeshadows called Get Ready! (orange), Pink Is It! (pink), Acid! (yellow), Go! (green) and Rave All Night! (purple). The pink and purple are quite pigmented but the other three need more product to get a more intense colour. I'm looking forward to doing some makeup looks with these though.

I was going to do lip swatches of all the lipsticks but my lips are a bit chapped at the moment and they didn't look very good with the lipsticks on so we'll have to stick to hand swatches at the moment.

Full Scandalous Lipstick Collection - £4

Vice, Felony, Crime, Depraved, Immoral

I bought the whole scandalous lipstick collection as I liked the look of the bright colours, not sure where I'd wear some of them though but who cares. They are called Felony (yellow), Vice (orange), Crime (pink), Depraved (purple) and Immoral (blue). Crime and Depraved are probably my favourite from this collection.

Full Vamp Lipstick Collection - £2

100% Vamp, Rebel With A Cause, Black Heart

Black Heart, Rebel With A Cause,100% Vamp

Again, I bought the whole full vamp lipstick collection as I don't have many dark lipsticks and wanted to give these a try. They are called 100% Vamp (black red), Rebel With A Cause (dark red/pink) and Black Heart (black/purple). I really like Rebel With A Cause so I will probably wear this more than the others.

Amazing Lipstick in Lady - £1

I only have a couple of red lipsticks so when I saw a swatch of this on their website I just thought it looked lovely and bought it.

All the lipsticks are really intense colours, they have a nice creamy texture and smell a bit like play doh according to my mum. For only £1 I think these lipsticks are really good and I will definitely be buying more.

In total all this makeup came to £21 which I'm pretty impressed with as I bought quite a bit.

Have you tried anything from Makeup Revolution yet?

Review: L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara

Sorry for the delay in posts lately, I'm currently painting my room and have not been able to get to much of my stuff but I'm almost finished so should be able to get back on track soon.

I may have mentioned this in previous posts but I love to try out new mascara's so when I saw the L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara on the TV I just had to get it. I bought this for £8.99 from Boots.

I quite like the packaging as it's pink and black and shape is quite nice. It has a bristle brush which I took a photo of but could not get the camera to focus properly so sorry for the blurriness.

I applied two coats on my lashes and it lengthens and thickens the lashes. It's not clumpy and it doesn't flake. This will probably be my go to mascara for the moment, I just love how much volume it gives to the lashes.

Have you tried this mascara yet?
