Makeup Revolution - Haul

Good evening!

Today was a good day. It was time for the arrival of my first order from Makeup Revolution. I didn't think the order would be shipped until today, so I'm very happy with the fast delivery I got. I made the order with my sister, so even though I had the package in my hand to wait for her arrival to open it. But OH, the goodies we found when we opened it up! It was like Christmas all over again. Of course, I just HAVE to show you what I got. (My sisters things are not included)


Just look at this picture for a while. It still feels like I'm dreaming... Okay, let's move on to the more detailed pictures! 


That little black box, with the big heart, on the top picture, that my friends, was a lovely gift from Makeup Revolution. If you ordered for over £25 it was included for free, along with a liquid blush and three lipglosses. Of course we split the gifts up, and I got the I heart Passion palette and a lipgloss that will be shown further down.


 

After reading so many great reviews I had to try some of the lipsticks. From left to right;
Lipgeek - Totaly NOT boring (I just had to have it because of the name)
Lipgeek - Barbie is Jealous
Lipstick - Cheer
Liphug - She's up all night


 Swatches? Of course, here you go! From left to right, the same as above.


The lipgloss on the top is in colour Move A Little Closer. Just under it you find the Amazing Inner Eye Brighter in Nude. To the bottom left we have the Awesome Metal Foil Finish in Pure Platinum. And in the left corner we have Vivid Blush Lacquer in Desire. 


Last, but definitely not least, I decided to pick up the Ultimate Eyeshadow Collection with shades. There happened to be a price reduction, and I just find this palette perfect for a makeup specialist to be, that needs colours to practice! 

I am more than happy with everything that I got, and just can't wait to get started with the work whit these. 

Have you tried Makeup Revolution yet? Any of these products? Any other favorites to recommend? 
I would love to hear your thoughts!

Tutorial - Green eyes

Hey there!

The other day I got the question if I had an olive green eye shadow to recommend, so I thought I'd share what eye makeup I use when I want to match my green wardrobe.


To this look I've been using the following: 

1. Undressed Palette from MUA, colours Puff and Hazle.
2. Eye shadow from Sephora in colour Python bag No 45
3. H&M eyeliner in Soft Green
4. Felt Eyeliner Pen from Primark
5. Black eyeliner from Färg
6. Diorshow Mascara
7. Lip pen from Makiash in colour 2 cold plum


1. I'm starting off with Puff from MUA all over the eyelid, up to the eyebrows.
2. MUA Hazel over the lid
3. Sephora Python Bag in the outer corners and the crease.


4. Closest to the lash line I use my felt liner, and just above it I use the Soft Green eyeliner from H&M to make the green colour pop a bit more.

5. For the final look I've added black eyeliner from Färg inside the lower lashline, the Diorshow mascara and my absolute favorite lipcolour at the moment, Cold Plum from Makiash.

Did you enjoy the tutorial? Something I should keep doing? Anything I should do differently? Comment below to let me know your thoughts. 

Also, do you have any favorite colours of eye shadow that isn't the black/grey smokey eye or the more natural brown/beige look? 

See you again soon!

Makeup Academy - Undressed

Hi there!

When me and my sister were in London in June I picked up an eye shadow palette from Makeup Academy. Since I spend quite a lot of time at M's apartment I felt like I needed some basics to leave there, so I don't need to bring the big makeup bag every time I go there. Since it was only £4 I thought it would be worth to give it a try, and not spend a whole lot of money on buying duplicates. And was I impressed? HELL YEAH!

I chose the Undressed palette, with 12 different shade from a light beige to dark brown and grey, some matte and some with shimmer. I thought it was a perfect combination for a basic collection. It's well pigmented and easy to blend. I like that I don't have to work forever to get it to look nice. I like to sleep in in the mornings, so big plus! First time I used it I was a bit stressed and didn't find my primer, so I worked it directly on to my eyelids. When I got home from work about 12 hours later it looked like it was just put on.  Another great plus is that it didn't irritate my eyelids. I can be quite sensitive, and might get a little itchy when I use eye shadow. None of that with this one! The only regret I have is that I only got one, and not the other palettes as well.

I would highly recommend this product if you're looking for a good palette that doesn't burn holes in your wallet.
