Makeup Revolution: Flawless 3 Resurrection

Although I don’t try out new makeup looks often, I do like to try out my usual style with different colours. The Flawless 3 Resurrection palette from Makeup Revolution is fantastic for experimenting with!

I attempted many times to photograph this closed, but because of the glossy rose gold case I just couldn’t get a good photo. But this really is a stunning palette. I personally love all things rose gold so this definitely makes me happy!

Flawless 3 has 32 shades in matte, satin and shimmer finishes and each shade is highly pigmented. As with other Makeup Revolution palettes this has a huge mirror in the lid, closes securely and has a plastic sheet with the shade names on. The majority of shades are matte, which I prefer and the shimmers aren’t too bold so this is definitely great for more of an everyday palette for me. The warm tones are perfect as we go into summer too!

                                     

                                      

I’ve been using this palette so much since I bought it. It’s very versatile and can be used for minimal makeup looks as well as full on glam styles making it my new go-to. At just £8 this is affordable and great value for money! I highly recommend it.

Makeup Revolution: Skin Kiss Highlighter

I think it’s safe to say I am developing quite the highlighter addiction, and with beauties like Makeup Revolution’s Skin Kiss highlighter in Peach Kiss, who could blame me?!

 

I love pretty packaging and the rose gold definitely makes this feel very luxurious! The lid contains a mirror too so this is perfect for popping in your bag.

Peach Kiss has a soft texture that glides on smoothly and the colour builds easily so you can achieve your preferred amount of glow!

I like to use this without blush underneath for a soft glow that looks beautiful with a variety of makeup looks. If I’m wearing bold eyes or lips this is what I reach for to give a more subtle highlight. That being said, it’s also very buildable so if you want a stronger look it’s great for that too.

I can’t recommend Peach Kiss enough! It’s the perfect shade even on my fairer skin and amazing value as the pan is huge and will last forever!

I definitely need to add the other shades of Skin Kiss Highlighter to my collection!

Makeup Revolution: Renaissance Lipsticks

I’ve definitely been lacking on the blog front recently but I finally have another review for you! Today I’m talking about Makeup Revolution’s new Renaissance lipsticks in the shades Classic and Renew.

Makeup Revolution are really stepping up their game with their new products especially when it comes to packaging. These lipsticks are seriously glam with the rose gold and weighty feel. There’s definitely no need to worry about the lid coming off in your bag with these!

I’m always on the lookout for that perfect red lipstick and I think I may have found it with Classic. The formula is so buttery and soft. It goes on perfectly and feels moisturising even after a few hours, which I am extremely happy about as I find a lot of reds can be quite drying on the lips. The colour payoff is fantastic too, just one swipe and you are good to go.

Renew is a lovely dusky rose colour, perfect for every day wear. The formula, however, isn’t quite as good as Classic. It’s not bad in any way, but it does lean more towards a matte texture so isn’t as soft on the lips.

I’m so impressed with these lipsticks! And with the tiny price of £4 these are amazing value. There are 20 lipsticks in the Renaissance range. Most are nude or brown tones which aren’t really for me so I hope there are more to come! Ideally different shades of red!

Have you tried any of the Renaissance lipsticks?

I Heart Makeup: Chocolate and Peaches

The I Heart Makeup Chocolate & Peaches palette has been on my wish list since it was first released. When I ordered from the TAM Beauty website back in February it was out of stock so I bought the Golden Bar palette, which I reviewed on here a while ago. So this time around I made sure to order while it was still available. And I could not be happier!

 

Chocolate & Peaches has 16 shades, with a good mix of matte and shimmer. As with the other palettes this comes with a huge mirror in the lid, a sponge applicator and a plastic sheet with each shade name on.

Each shade blends really well and lasts a long time without creasing, about 6 hours for me, even on my oily lids. That is amazing considering I don’t use any primer either! And there’s not a shade in this palette that isn’t highly pigmented!

  

Warm toned eye makeup is everywhere right now and I love the look! This palette is full of the most wonderfully pigmented shades perfect for so many different spring/summer makeup. As I’ve said before, I am no expert at applying makeup, especially eyeshadow, but I find the I Heart Makeup palettes really easy to work with. And at only £7.99 this is such a bargain!

I Heart Makeup: Golden Bar Palette

Last month I made a Makeup Revolution order and thought it was about time I share a few reviews of the products I got. First up I want to talk about the Golden Bar palette from I Heart Makeup.

I originally wanted the Chocolate and Peaches palette but by the time I had finished choosing everything it had sold out. Luckily there are so many incredible palettes that I knew there would be something else I would love. And I definitely made the right decision with the Golden Bar!

I Heart Makeup’s range of chocolate bar palettes are really gorgeous, but the Golden Bar definitely stands out from the rest with the eye catching gold drips! I love that there is a full size mirror in the lid and a sponge applicator. Though I’m not sure anyone even uses those to apply eye makeup?!

There is also a plastic sheet with the names on covering the shadows. I like to keep this in the palette as it’s great for keeping fallout off the mirror. I also like to know what I’ve used so if it turns out well I know how to recreate it.

I have to admit, I am easily swayed by pretty packaging, and sometimes that can mean wasting money on products that really aren’t worth it. Luckily you don’t have to worry about that with the Golden Bar! Each eyeshadow is great quality. They are very pigmented and easy to blend, even for a beginner like me!

  

I am by no means an expert when it comes to eye makeup but I am trying to move out of my comfort zone slightly and this palette is perfect for so many looks!

Have you tried any of I Heart Makeup’s Chocolate Bar palettes?

Make Up Gallery: Nail Art Decoration

Although I have been loving wearing plain colour polish recently, I love finding things that make me want to get creative with nail art. Make Up Gallery’s decoration set is perfect for experimenting with fun designs.

This set includes a wheel packed full of brightly coloured shapes (circles, squares and stars), 3 cuticle sticks, tweezers and a nail file. Definitely a bargain for just £1!

To show you how cute these little studs are I’ve kept each nail art quite simple.

For my first look I used Winter White for the base. I then carefully placed the circle studs into a flower shape. I love how these create a fun 60s hippie vibe!

For my second design I used Midnight Black and the star shapes to create a neon sky!

This set is such a great addition to any nail art collection, especially if you are just starting out or have never used studs before! I doubt you would find such a good quality set anywhere else.

Make Up Gallery: Matt Top Coat

Today I have a new and exclusive Make Up Gallery polish to share with you all! Their Matt Top Coat is the latest addition to their products and one that I am very excited about!

Let’s talk about the packaging first. As you can see, the bottle has a very stylish matt finish, which I think makes it look really lovely and much more expensive than it’s £1 price tag! The brush is a large flat style like the rest of Make Up Gallery’s polishes so application is quick and easy.

To show off this beautiful top coat I’ve gone for a nail art using three of my favourite things: purple, polka dots and flowers! I used the gorgeous Parma Violet as the base with Winter White for polka dots, which I did using Make Up Gallery’s marble dotting tool. After applying the top coat I added little flowers (not from Make Up Gallery) for a more interesting design.

The matt top coat applies smoothly and dries rather quickly. This turns matt before it is fully dry so be careful not to smudge your design!

Matt nails are always chic, especially as we go in to autumn, and what better than a good quality top coat at a such a low price! You can get this for yourself in Poundland very soon!

Make Up Gallery: Marilyn in Black & White!

Stamping plates are one of the best ways to get intricate nail designs with very little effort. I’ve built quite a collection of plates now and through lots of practice have found that not all polishes are suitable for getting a crisp image.

After playing around with Make Up Gallery over the last few weeks I thought I would try them out with stamping. I picked out one of my favourite plates, a Born Pretty Store plate with a Marilyn Monroe picture. I decided to let the stamping speak for itself so chose a monochrome look.

I used Winter White as the base. This is a very sheer white so I did three coats of this. I then used Midnight Black to stamp on my image.

As you can see the design came out beautifully! I am very impressed with how well this polish picked up the design and transferred it to my nails. A much better result than I’ve had from more expensive brands!

Although some Make Up Gallery polishes won’t be suitable to stamp with, mostly the lighter shades, there are plenty that would be perfect and at just £1 it’s definitely a bargain!

Pastel & Metallic Polka Dots

I’ve really been loving pastel nail colours recently, especially when paired with a touch of metallic! I think it’s a really fun way to break up lighter shades and add some depth to your look.

Polka dots are a super easy way to add metallic to your muted base. Make Up Gallery have this stylish dotting tool set to make getting the look super easy!

Each one has a dotting tool at both ends giving 8 sizes. Perfect for whatever nail art look you want to create. They also come in a very on trend marble pattern!

Make Up Gallery polish collection is fantastic with so many colours you can mix and match. I’ve picked two pairs of polishes to show how great wearing pastels and metallics can look.

First up I wanted a really light nail so I picked Pink Sherbet as the base with Vintage Pink dots.

 

I love how these colours look together!

Next is a slightly darker pastel look using Bambino Blue and Sapphire Blue.

 

For both of these I tried to keep my dots evenly spaced and in lines, as much as possible, but a more random dot placement is just as pretty and can be less time consuming.

I hope this helps to inspire your next nail art!

Make Up Gallery: Nail Art Brush Set

Nail art is a great way to add individual style to your look and is a lot of fun to play around with. I love experimenting with colour combinations and patterns or pictures I can add on and if you do too then I highly recommend trying out Make Up Gallery’s nail art brushes set.

There are seven brushes for you to get creative with and endless possibilities!

I’ve kept my colour palette simple using only Sunshine Yellow and Midnight Black with the high gloss top coat.

Leopard print is my go to, easy nail art. It’s simple but very striking, especially in these colours! I got this look using the tiny dotting tool.

 

I wanted to use more than one brush for the next design, and using only black and yellow I naturally thought of cute bumble bees!

 

For this bright summer mani I used the small dotting tool to create the dotty lines, the small orange brush to draw the bees and the striping brush for the lined nail.

For only £1 this set is more than worth it! Whether you are new to nail art or have been practicing for years this is a great set to have in your collection.
