Starting with the palette in the shade Nude - isn't it just so gorgeous?! They do have little quads in the collections now but the shades in both were pretty dull, after I swatched the three gold shades in this palette in the shop I fell in love. They are super buttery which I wasn't expecting so when I first used them they blended really easily and the pigmentation was really good. I have created some lovely brown golden eyes which this palette and the look has lasted all day on my lids with just the lightest shade in the palette as a base on the lid. I've have a gold glitter eye shadow from Newlook from a few years ago which I absolutely love so I knew I would be a fan of this palette. As you can see from the palette I have two favourite shades already and they look so beautiful on the lid.
Lastly I picked up a Lip Liner in the shade Rouge which is a classic ruby red which is perfect underneath any red lipstick, it also has a hint of pink to it so it will be great to use underneath my more pinky red shades. As well as that I picked up some Matte Velvet Lipstick Crayons in three shades which I am really excited about. I picked up the shades Toffee Apple which is a brown nude, Heather which is a burgundy dark nude and Royal which is a dark brown with hints of purple/burgundy in (I am really bad at describing shades but I have included swatches). I really like this so far I have wore Heather so many times already which encouraged me to try the other two shades. I find them don't dry out my lips even though they are matte lip products which is good for me since I have dry lips. I found it also lasted all day on me which is amazing, I only had to touch it up in the middle of my lips after I ate some food. The thing I like most about Heather is that it doesn't apply patchy at all which I find with dark crayon lip products so I have no problems applying it without a mirror because I know it will look good. - I can't find the shades of the Matte Velvet Crayons on the website so I have left the link for all the crayons they do have so you can shop the shades in stock!
Have you tried any of the new products?
With all the hype around matte liquid lipsticks that seems to be everywhere right now I thought I would share with you some my most treasured moisturising lip products in my collection. Now I am not hating or bashing matte lip products in any way I have quite a few Nyx Matte Lip Cream in my collection which I really like.
First of I have a Max Factor Lipstick in the shade Sun Bronze 837 which is a gorgeous mauve shade which has very subtle sparkles in and leaves my lips with a glossy hydrating finish. Another brand of lipsticks which are perfect when my lips are having a dry spell are the Bodyshop Lipstick which don't have a name which is very annoying. I have the shade 11, which I haven't used used yet if I am honest because it is a very little shade compared to my skin tone, and the shade 13 which is again my favourite shade of mauve. It is really moisturising on the lips and like the Max Factor lipstick leaves a nice glossy finish on the lips.
A group of lipsticks that I have talked about some many times on this blog are the Clinique Colour Pop lipsticks which I bloody love to bits. They are super moisturising and the colours look lovely on the lips, these are great lip products for the summer when your lips need a little TLC but you also want a popping colour on the lips.
My last lip stash that I absolutely love to give my lips some moisture on a day to day basis are the Rimmel Moisture Renew and Sheer and Shine formulas. I know everyone is going crazy for the new Rimmel Matte Lipsticks right now but these will always be my all time favourite Rimmel Lip products. These are so glossy and balm like that you feel like you you aren't even wearing a lipstick on your lips. The best thing about these lip products? They are glossy and luxurious on the lips but don't lack in colour and pigment. I find with some moisturising lip products that they run of your lips or rub on a glass or when your eat. The colour of these lipsticks is really pigmented and lasts a lot longer than other lipsticks.
I ordered a bunch of products off of the Revolution makeup website at the beginning December as I had read so many reviews of the products they were selling and I wanted to try them for myself. Since then I have bought quite a lot of things off of the website, I posted about the Fluid Blushes previously here and I already have other posts lined up of more products i want to talk about so stay tuned if you are interested in the brand!
Here I'm going to talk about the Matte Effect Foundation, something that has been used quite a bit over the Christmas period.
When I clicked on this product I first thought it was a type of bb cream more than a foundation and since using it I find it works like a really good bb cream. At first it looks like it hasn't done anything to your skin but then I don't know whether it's just me but I feel like It starts to work after you have worn it for a minute or two, it's only then that I see the effect it has on my skin, werid!
It gives a good light coverage which can be built up if you wanted more, but I personally like to wear this foundation on my good skin days because I think it isn't great at covering up blemishes but it is great at evening out your skin.
I think it gives me a nice healthy glow and it is super easy to apply, you don't need to worry about working it in to your skin for ages. I personally like to apply this product with my hands just because it is easier and not as messy as foundation. The best thing about this foundation? I find that it does last me all day at work which is surprising!
All in all I would rate this foundation a good 6 out of 10. It's only downfall in my opinion is that it could be better at covering up blemishes and it is because of that I don't see this as being a foundation but more of a bb cream.
