Makeup Revolution Haul


So if any one hasn't heard of makeup revolution then where have up been!!! 

I pick up 4 products I will be ordering more!!!

The first thing I picked up was the Essential mattes, which are a collection of matte neutral shades, I was really excited when I saw that there was a matte netural eye shadow palette as I have been looking at the Paula's choice matte eyeshadow palette but was reluctant to spend £35.00 on palette. The colours in this palette are very similar to that palette and for £4.00 I could really go wrong 

The second thing I picked up was the Iconic 3 eyeshadow palette, which is meant to be a dupe for the  Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, now I don't have this palette and I did want the Urban Decay Naked 3 but I was not sure how the pink tones would look on me so I was yet again reclucant to spend £36.00 on that palette especially if I didn't suit me. I don't mid however spending £4.00 on the eyeshadow palette, I haven't used this properly yet so I might do an indpeth review once I have used it but I did swatch all the colours and they are really pigmented. 

The third product I picked up was a Highlighter in Peach Lights, I am actually wearing this as I am writing this post, I really like this a it isn't too shimmery, which means that I can use it on a daily basis and not look like I have sprinkled glitter on my face (yes i have looked like I have done that before) and for £3.00 it is really good value for money. 

The last product I picked was the Kajal and this was something the I found intriguing as I wasn't really sure how it worked, I have tried this out the day I got it an it is something that I will need to practice with as it creates a really thick line which isn't really what I look for when I am doing my eyeliner, however I am going to trying using a liner brush to apply this and see how it works that way, I would have adored this if it had a thinner point, but for £2.00 I can't really complain and I will find a away to use it.

Collection 24hr Felt Tip Eyeliner




I today I thought I would do a review on the collection Eyeliner in Purple. 
 
So my first impression when I swatches this was that it was a lovely deep purple colour, I had been after a purple felt tip liner for a whole I have a Rimmel Gel liner in Aubergine, which is a really nice colour but it was a faff to apply, so when I discovered the collection felt tip liner in purple I was over the moon and for the price I didn't think could go wrong... But more on this later. 
 
It is really easy to apply and I am not the best at doing eyeliner but it does make it quick and simple which is a bonus as it means that I can apply it when I am in a hurry... Thumbs up 
The colour is amazing and it is really pigmented and looks really nice on the eye however there is an issue with the colour, I wore this when I was going to uni. 
 
It was a long day so when I get home I didn't think it would be that hard to remove as I have there felt tip liner in black and it is so quick and easy to remove, so I assumed that the purple would be the same I was however wrong. To remove my make up I use the Liz Earle cleanse and polish and this has never failed to remove my makeup it however had not met this eyeliner. I had removed my makeup then I notice that there was a faded blue line where my eyeliner had been on my eye so I then used my bioderma and my l'oreal misceller solutions to try and take the rest off, however it didn't quite remove the line but I did fade it a little more but you could still tell that was on my eye which is a shame as I really loved the colour but I don't wear it as it is too much hassle to remove. 
The 24hr felt tip liner from collection are £2.99 I would however only recommend the black as the other swatches also stained my hand.
