I Heart Revolution, Revolution Surprise Egg Gold

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I was making a Superdrug order the other day when I scrolled past this gold egg... with Easter just around the corner, have you thought of giving something a bit different to chocolate this year?

This gold egg is actually an eyeshadow and highlighter palette! (here) It contains 5 eyeshadows; 2 shimmers and 3 mattes, and 2 highlighter shades which also work well as eyeshadows. The best bit? it's only £5. It's from the I Heart Revolution brand and they come in 6 different styles. It's also 3 for 2 on I Heart Revolution Eggs online at Superdrug at the moments so now's a good time to snap some up for yourself, or to give as gifts!

As you can see from the swatches, the pigmentation is incredible; the shimmers are really lovely and the mattes have good colour payoff. There is a bit of kickback in the pan but not too much. They blend really nicely, and for the price, the longevity is pretty good too. The shades all work really well together so you can create a multitude of different looks with just the one palette. The matte shades work really well as crease / transition shades too. The highlighters are a bit too bright for me, but the gold makes a stunning eyeshadow. It's a cute novelty item and you're getting 7 shades for only a fiver, which I think is a pretty fab deal.

There are 4 to choose from on the Superdrug website and they are:

Rose Gold: 

Eyeshadows: 4 shimmers; pale pink, rose pink, dark rose gold and dark rose brown, plus 1 matte rose brown

Highlighters: 1 light and 1 medium rose gold 

Dragon: 

Eyeshadows: 3 shimmers; a fiery red, a gorgeous gold and a beautiful bronze, plus 2 matte brown shades

Highlighters: 1 warm and 1 cool tone

Gold:

Eyeshadows: 3 matte brown shadows; 1 light, medium and dark, plus 2 stunning shimmer browns

Highlighters: 1 yellow gold and 1 soft bronze gold

Unicorn: 
Eyeshadows: 3 shimmer purple shades; 1 light, medium and dark, plus 2 matte shades; a deep purple and mesmerising blue
Highlighters: 1 icy purple and 1 white pearl

They're all so fun! On the Tam Beauty website they sell the other 2 in the collection which are: Angel (pale pinks) and Mermaid (bluey greens and a gold) which both look insane! I'm starting to think I need all 6... or maybe just Unicorn and Mermaid?

What do you think of these? Will you be asking for one for Easter, giving them as gifts or just treating yourself to one (or six!). Let me know in the comments!

My 3 Favourite Mascaras

Hello Beauty Lovers!

If there's one beauty product that I love the most - it's mascara. I have probably tried at least 100 over my make up wearing life, so at this point, I feel like I have some idea of what a good mascara is. Today I'm going to tell you about my 3 favourite mascaras at the moment. No prizes for guessing what the first one is...

TAM Beauty Haul

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I rediscovered my Freedom Priming Water the other day (which I love) and realised I had essentially none left. I also wanted to try the new Makeup Revolution concealer so I ended up picking up a few bits from TAM Beauty. 

StylPro Brush Cleaner | Pros & Cons

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I've had the StylPro Brush Cleaner for well over a year now, and although I like it a lot, I've noticed a few things that are not ideal.

3 High End Beauty Products Worth The Splurge

Hello Beauty Lovers! 

Last week we were talking about 10 Under £10 - 10 beauty products that are under £10 that needed a little more recognition. This week we're talking about 3 high end beauty products that are worth the splurge.

10 Under £10

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I've seen some other bloggers do this and thought it'd be quite fun. A lot of the make up that gets featured on Instagram and beauty blogs tends to be the higher end, more expensive products, but some cheaper make up is just as good as high end make up and deserves a little more attention. A lot of the make up I use everyday is from the high street/drugstore and is under £10.

6 New Years Beauty Resolutions

Hello Beauty Lovers and Happy New Year!

I gave up making new years resolutions a long time ago as they're just not my thing, but I thought it might be fun to make some new years beauty resolutions as I feel they'll be more beneficial to me.

My Colourpop Liquid Lipstick Collection

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I've started to accumulate quite a few Colourpop Liquid Lipsticks and so I thought I'd document them with a few swatches too. Some of them are so well loved that the labels have worn off from living in my handbag.

My Forever Repurchase List

Hello Beauty Lovers!
If you're not new to the blog, you've probably heard me rattle on about these products before, but there's a couple of new products that I have added to the 'Forever Repurchase' list and wanted to rattle on some more about them.

MOTD Featuring New Products

It's a grey smokey eye with a pretty pink lip.

Make Up Revolution Awesome Metals Foil Finish Eyeshadow | Review

Hello Everyone!

Happy Sunday to you!

I wasn't sure what to blog about today. I've bought a few bits from e.l.f recently, so I'm sure I'll do a haul about it soon, but both my last posts have been haul types. I also have a wordy/talky post I want to do but I want to put lots of thought into that one. 

So I thought I'd talk to you about the Make Up Revolution Awesome Metals Foil Finish Eyeshadows. That's a huuuuuge name. 

I have the colour Rose Gold and they cost £4 each.

Birthday Make Up

Hello everyone!
I've finally got round to showing you the make up I recieved for my birthday. My birthday was a month ago. (Oops) 
I got lots of lovely beauty bits for my birthday so I might break this post up. Today I'm going to chat about the higher end make up I received, namely the Urban Decay Naked Palette and a Limited Edition Rihanna Mac Lipstick. Aren't I a lucky girl? 

Everyday Make Up Essentials

Hello Everyone!

As usual, I'm going to start with an apology:
Sorry I didn't post last Sunday, I had my job induction all day Thursday and then they wanted me to work 9-5 on Friday and 9-6 on Saturday so by Sunday I was a) absolutely shattered and b) totally unprepared to do a blog post. 
I am prepared this week though! 
Since I've become an adult and go to work each day, I needed to find a make up look that was easy, and professional but still pretty, so here are the products that I use to create that look. 
Basically this is my 'holy grail' every day products!

E.L.F Make Up Brushes

Hello everyone!


Recently I needed some new make up brushes and as much as I like the Real Techniques brushes, they can be quite expensive. I remembered the eyeshadow brush I have that I've used everyday for years and I still love it just as much. It's from e.l.f, so I thought I'd head over to the website and have a little look. I ended up getting four. Can you believe they're only £1.95 each?! 

H&M 'Smoky Eyeshadows' Palette | Review
