Makeup Revolution | Sale Haul
So recently Makeup Revolution had a major 50% off sale on selected products (of which there was a majorly huge variety of choice which was surprising). Among the wide choice of products I had, I decided to make a joint combined order with my mum to share products and save on postage!
1. Radiant Light - Exhale £2.50
I can honestly say I've fallen in love with Makeup Revolution Illuminating products, I've used a few previously. But this one may actual become a new love of mine, it's super pigmented and very 'creamy' shaded with a mix of a light rose gold like shimmer.
2. The One Concealer Medium £1.50
Now I was unsure what to expect from this product, it looked very unusual and similar to the Benefit Cosmetics 'fakeup' concealer. When I applied (which was bought for my mum as shes a darker shade where as I'm pale), I felt like it didn't give the maximum 'WOW' affect, if anything I felt like it was an average coverage. However, I never had problems with it creasing or drying out (positive). (RRP £3)
3. Ultra Velour Lip Cream-Move your mouth forever - £1.50
The reason I choose this product was because of the simple 'nude like' colour, when it arrived I was slightly shocked by the size (I think I was expecting it to be bigger). But it's texture is really soft, moisturizing and creamy on the lips plus it lasted for a long period of time. (RRP £3)
4. Awesome Metals Eye Foils Rose Gold - £2
I didn't really know what to expect when using this product, I decided to buy as an 'experiment'. When it arrived its packaging was very compact, it was perfect to fit in three pieces of equipment needed to use this product all in a small box! You get the metal shadow in a pot, a circular silver tin pot to apply the product / mix and then a liquid which u use to mix with the shadow like product to get the 'metal look'. It was easy to use, simple, no confusion and it did come with instructions (which honestly I thought was not needed as it seemed obvious what to do) but still wow! It applied easy, lasted all day long and dried out instantly (which was a bonus). The shade itself was perfect too, a rose gold it had a lot of silver shimmer mixed with a gold shade!
I bought two sets of these (one for my mum and one for myself), I feel in love with these the day they got launched because of the unique glam touch on the handles. They are min's, so they fit perfect into a travel bag or handbag plus they are easy to handle and use. I personally have been using the larger brush for cheeks blush, the angled brush for highlighter under my brows, and the smaller rounder brush tipped one for eye-shadow application all have worked perfect to my needs. One thing I would love to see from these products is them made into larger 'normal' sized brushes so I could use them everyday.
6. Ultra Face Base Foundation - £1.50 each
So at such a low price my mum really wanted to try out these foundation products, as with any 'face' products I'm very careful because of the risk of 'spot' out breaks or the product not agreeing with my skin. I personally have a very 'oily/combination/sensitive' skin type which is usually a nightmare to work with. I used the 02 Pink Tone shade product which is a PERFECT shade match for anyone who is majorly pale like myself (porcelain), when I applied the product it went on smoothly and lasted all day long. It never went patchy at all! I did feel like you would have to build up a lot for coverage and would recommend using a very good concealer for under your eyes, and anything you wish to cover up. The 03 Yellow Tone was more for someone with a medium-light shade, my mum was the perfect skin colour match for this. Plus with it being yellow tone it works great with redness on the skin, again the coverage was 'average' but it lasted all day long which is the main bonus, along side with how affordable it is!
7. 5 Baked Eyeshadows - £1.25
WOW! I am in love with this product, first of the shades are perfect to blend together or wear on there own. The lightest shade on the top left corner works great to apply under the brow for an extra highlighting feature. All the shades are super pigmented and honestly do last for a good few hours (even longer if you use an eye-shadow primer).
8. Unicorns Unite Lipstick - 50p each
So I ordered three different shades of these lipsticks, purely because of the cheap affordable price. I didn't expect much from them (probably because of the price), but also because with most lip products in this shade they are very less pigmented and more of an over gloss shade. But WOW! I was wrong.. First off, by far the blue shade (horn of magic) was my most favorite, the shade was so unique in itself with an unusual pattern. All three lip products where surprisingly pigmented well, you do need to put a good amount on for an outstanding dramatic look but overall one layer would most likely be enough. Plus with the new 'Alice In Wonderland' movie and all cosmetic brands releasing bright vibrant colours, I feel like this is the perfect time to use them!
