Make-Up Revolution Product Review
Hey Beauties ,
We're back from our 2 week hiatus , in the past 2 weeks we had exams so we put our blog on the back burner for a while but now we are back with a bang . This blog post is all about Make-up Revolution. The products of this brand are so good and the best part of it is that they won't leave a huge hole in your pocket as they are really cheap but of a good quality. They also have loads of discounts and bundles , to benefit from these I suggest to sign up to their e-mail list and they will notify you whenever they launch new products and when they have discounts going on. For those who live in the U.K. you can find these products in Superdrug and for the rest of the world they offer world wide shipping.Apart from these products that we are going to review they have much more , but unfortunatly we don't have those so we can't review them.
So let's start with the products:
Amazing Lipsticks : These are only a £1 ! The formulation is great and very pigmented. These are not longlasting which they don't claim to be so it's fine , but with a lipliner underneath they stay on pretty well. The colours range from neutrals to dark , and let me tell ya there are some crazy colours in there such as the scandalous lipstick collection. Lipsticks shown in the picture below are ; Rebel with a Cause ( Vamp Shade) , 100% Vamp (Vamp Shade ) , Depraved ( Scandalous Shade) and Enchant.
Lip Power - This is a very intresting product , it's a lipstick with a lipgloss underneath. The lipstick's formula is matte , very pigmented , just don't apply them when you have chapped lips because since they are matte they will cling on to those dry patches . The lipgloss has tiny flexes of glitter in it , nothing major though and they complement the lipsticks really well . You can either wear the lipstick on its own , or the lipgloss alone if you're going for a more subtle look or you can combine the two together . Colours show below are ; It's my life ( nude) , Everything's alright (coral) , Anticipate it ( Burgundy ). Out of all three the burgundy has to be my favourite and I like to wear it matte and the other's I prefer to wear with the gloss on top. These are only £3 , a bargain if you ask me !
Amazing Sheer Lipgloss - These are your standard tube lipglosses. Comes in a variety of colours for only a £1. The lipglosses pictured below are Hush Hush ( peachy pink ) and Baby Try ( Fuschia ). I tend to go more for Hush Hush since it's a neutral colour.They are not sticky at all.
I love Make-up London , I Heart My Lips Lipstick Collection - These were sent to me as a part of the Valentine's day promotion. I'm going to be honest here and say that these are not my favourite except for 1 of them . The lighter shades goes on really patchy and don't really blend well , I'm really pale and I feel like these neutral colours are not catered for people with pale skin as these made me look sick , which is not a flattering look . The red colour is okay , but I have better other red lipsticks which are better. However , the dark violet colour ( Racing Heart ) is beautiful , I love wearing it especially during spring and summer , because it's dark but not dark enough to restrict you to wear in winter only . Lipsticks in the picture are : Irregular Heartb0eat ( Peachy pink ) , Rising Pulse ( Nude) , Beating Heart ( pink ) , Heart is Pumping ( barbie pink ) , Heart Attack ( red) , Racing Heart ( violet ) . I love the names of these ! These are £2.49 each , price and quality wise I would suggest choosing colours similiar to these to the amazing lipsticks !
Eye products :
Inner eye brightner - This stuff works ! It brightens and opens the eye . I usually use it either when I have an early morning , as it makes your eyes look bigger , thus looking more awake or when I do a smokey eye to balance out the look . Since my eyes are not that big , this is really great for me and it's only £2.50. It comes in an automatic pencil , so no sharpening is involved .
I Love Make-up , I tint my brows - I'm going to be really honest here and I'm going to tell you straight up that I don't like this stuff. I got mine in the shade meduim and it's brown , has a redish tint to it which makes it look very cheap . It's wand is huge and when I tried to use it went everywhere because you really have no control with this product , also the brush picks up alot of product and instead of having eyebrows on fleek you would end up with a gloopy mess on your face . I tried useing is with an angled brush , it didn't work either , it was too defined for my liking , it may be that I don't know how to use this product but for now I think I'll stick to pencils and eyeshadows to fill in my brows. This product costs £1.99 which isn't too bad honestly even though I didn't like this.
Ultra Blush and Contour palettes - These are ridiculously pigmented , all you have to do is to touch the blush once and it would be enough , yet they are very easy to blend . These come with 6 blushed , 1 baked blush and 1 baked highlighter . The palette included both shimmer and matte blushers. The shades also ranges from those who really pop and muted and natural shades , in my opinion there is something for everyone in these palettes. These palettes are only £6 each. Shown below are Sugar and Spice and Hot Spice. Hot Spice includes shades which are more on the peach and coral side while Sugar and Spice has more of a pink tones to it .
I Love Make-up , I Heart Sin palette - I must say that there are some hit's and miss in this palette . The glittery shades are lush , they go on well , pigmented and all that and most of them are really wearable shades , however the neon shades are very chalky and not pigmented at all . I really like that the highlight and the all-over the lid colour are huge. I also got this for free as a part of promotion. This costs £7.99.
Pro-looks in Stripped and Bare - I really love the concept of this palette , you basically have 3 looks in 1. It includes 15 shades , all arranged in box shape with 5 shades in each arrangement , each box can be used to make a different kind of looks. The first arrangment includes colours to make gold and pink eyelook , the second has pinks , purples and grey , while the third has browns , blue and dark gold. I love this , it is so versatile and you can create so many looks , it doesn't necessary mean that you have to keep with that same arrangements , and the best part is that this is only £6.
Redemption Palette Iconic 1 -This is basically a Dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette . In the same redemption collection there is also the Iconic 2 and 3 , which are dupes for the Naked 2 and 3. The colours are even in the same order of the Naked palette . The colours are pigmeneted and buttery . The price of this is £4 !
Salvation Palette in Iconic Pro 2 - This is the dupe for the Lorac Pro 2 which is only available in the U.S. , the formulation of these are impeccable , the bottom the shades which are the glittery shades look like they're foiled eyeshadows .The shades Awaken and New Day are to die for . This also comes with a dual-ended brush , one side is flat while the other side is a blending brush.The price of this is £6.99.
Salvation Palette's in Girls on Film and What you waiting for ? - These include 18 eyeshadows , 12 which are shimmery and the other 6 are matte . Formulation is pigmented and buttery and blend really well . Some of the shades are repeated in the two palettes but to be honest it doesn't really bother me .What you waiting for ? is more on the pinky side while Girls on film has more colours such as purples , greens and even copper / redish shades . Both palette includes dark and neutral colours and full size mirror. These retail for £6.00.
(1st palette is What you Waiting For ? and the 2nd one is Girls on Film)
Ultra professional Eyeshadow in Flawless Matte and Flawless - These are some of my holy grail products . First of all they have 32 colours , the flawless matte obviously they are all matte and the flawless have 5 matte shadows . The colours range from neutral to dark . They are all pigmented and the matte shades are very buttery and not chalky at all , really easy to use and blend.These are only £8 , which is dirt cheap for 32 high quality shadows.
Apart from these products , they have eyeliners and lipliners , brushes , more palettes and different kinds and formulas of lipsticks . So I encourage you to go on their website and place an order to see for your self what an amazing brand this is !
Hope that you enjoyed this post :)
Lots of Love ,
Dulcie and Courtney !
