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...

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.

Christmas Make Up Haul

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I was very lucky to receive lots of luxury make up for Christmas, including my first YSL lipstick (Collectors Edition too). I didn't really ask for a lot this year because I already have so much stuff, it just seemed like unnecessary extras, but my mum was stressing over what to buy me so I had a look through the catalogues and my make up wishlist note on my phone and picked out a few bits.

Colourpop Haul

Hello Beauty Lovers!

Colourpop had their free international shipping deal on, so I snapped up the chance to buy some more goodies (as if I need more).

‘How Much Is My Face Worth?’

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I thought it'd be fun to do a 'How Much Is My Face Worth?' blog post as I use a mix of higher end make up and more drugstore/highstreet make up. If you're not familiar with the idea, it's just where a blogger adds up the prices of their make up products that they use on the daily and see what it totals up to. 

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.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Primer

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I've been using this Maybelline Lash Sensational Primer everyday for a while now and I'm really impressed with it - from first use I knew I wanted to blog about it. 

The £1 Blush I Can't Live Without

Hi Beauty Lovers!

I've been loving this blush for a long time now and thought it was about time I shared the love.

I find Makeup Revolution a little bit hit and miss (understandable when it is so cheap) but they certainly know how to do a good blush.

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.

Urban Decay Troublemaker Mascara

Hello Beauty Lovers!

If you read last week's post (here), you'll know that I received the Urban Decay Troublemaker mascara for my birthday. I've used it quite a few times now and thought I'd share my thoughts about it.

Birthday Make Up Haul

Hello Beauty Lovers!

It was my 22nd birthday yesterday and I received some really lovely presents, some of which were make up (no surprise there!) so I thought I would do a little haul showing you what I got. If you want more in depth posts about any of the items, I'd be happy to do so, just let me know.

How I Keep My Skin Matte All Day

Hello Beauty Lovers!

I have oily skin and have struggled with it for years but I think I have finally found the perfect combination of products that keep my oil at bay and keep me from looking like a shiny mess at the end of the day. If you have oily/combination skin like I do, I thought it might be handy for you to know how I battle the shine!

What's In My Glossybox? | August 2016

Hello Everyone
Happy Sunday!
Today I'll be showing you what I received in my Glossybox for the month of August. 
This month, Glossybox have teamed up with the accessory label Rae Feather, as it is Glossybox's 5th birthday! Happy Birthday Glossybox.I haven't had chance to test run all of the products yet, so I'll just be giving you my initial thoughts today and if I think something is worth buying, I'll do a mini review on my Instagram.

Nyx Haul

Hello Everyone!
Happy Sunday!
My local Boots finally has a Nyx stand which I am thrilled about so obviously I had to pick up a few bits while I was there.

Holy Grail Beauty Products

Hello Everyone!

Happy Sunday!

This is the first weekend I've had off in three months so it's been lovely to actually have time to enjoy creating this post.

Today I'll be sharing with you my holy grail/can't live without beauty products.

I've been wearing make up 'properly' since I was 16 and I'm now nearly 21 and I've been so much more serious about make up since I started blogging about it almost 3 years ago.

I have tried and tested a vast variety of products over the years and have built quite the collection of 'ride or die' products, hence why there a lot of products mentioned in this blog post!

Some are fairly new, others I've been using for years.

Brace yourselves, it's going to be a long post.

What's In My Glossybox? | July 2016

Hello Everyone!
Happy Sunday.
Did you catch last week's post my Mini Amazon Beauty Haul (here)?
Today is another installment of 'What's In My Glossybox?' for the month of July. A bit of a mixed bag (more like box) of things this month.

Mini Amazon Beauty Haul | Rimmel & Avon

Hello Everyone!
Happy Sunday!
Did you see my Holiday Lookbook last week (here)?
I impulse bought a couple of beauty bits from Amazon recently, as I have no self control and it was 'prime day' or something, so there were loads of deals on and thought I'd show you them and tell you my first thoughts.
