Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette- Golden Sugar

  









A couple of weeks ago I posted about another blush palette by Makeup Revolution, in Sugar and Spice. I thought that today I would review my other blush palette in golden sugar.

I wouldn't really use these shades as blushers, however, they work perfectly for contour and bronzing. There are also shades for highlighting. I love the marble effect on some of the shades, I find it adds more definition to the colour. 

Just like the other palette there is a great mirror, perfect for the application of the product. The packaging is very simple, but looks very professional. For only £6 this palette is totally worth every penny.

Pretty Little Liars!

OMG! Never have I been so hooked on a Tv show. I started watching this at the end of December, and from the first episode I couldn't turn it off! 
For a bit of background info, Pretty Little Liars is about a group of 5 girls. One of them goes missing, and the other 4 grow apart. That is until, the body is found and the 4 girls reunite. They are trying to find out who killed their friend. Whilst all this is happening, they begin receiving messages from someone called A. They have to try and find out who A is.

I am currently on series 2, so no spoilers please! but already I know that that the revealing of A is going to be huge! I highely recommend this show to anyone looking for a murder mystery/ love story series. 

If you have watched PLL, comment below your favourite character! Mine is currently Aria, she is very good at taking control of situations. Her love life is very confusing but she seems to have complete control of what she is doing!

If anyone has any other reccomendations of TV shows I might enjoy, please leave them below!

Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette- Sugar and Spice

Makeup Revolution is a brand, which I believe is completly under-rated. There makeup is AMAZING and is soooo cheap. 

This blush Palette has some wondeful shades, with a variety of shimmers and mattes. It only cost £6 which is a great price for 8 blushers. 

Not only are there blushers, but some can be used as bronzers, contour and highlight. My favourite shades are the marbled colours. Not only do they look amazing in the packaging, but they look so pretty on your cheeks. They are also very pigmented, so they last a very long time. 

There is also a great mirror in the packaging which is HUGE! It is perfect for applying your makeup when your on holiday, and may not have a mounted mirror to use.

W7 In The Buff Lightly Toasted Review

This is definitely my favourite Naked palette dupe by W7. The colours are a range of shimmers and mattes, and there is a variety of light and dark shades.
They are all very highely pigmented and they look STUNNING when on the eyes! They are very easy to blend so this palette is perfect for creating smoky looks.


The colours are just as good and almost identical. The packaging is very simple but looks very appealing. There are 5 of these palettes altogether, of which I own 4. The others are equally as high quality, however, these colours are my favourite.
The cost of this palette was only £5.99 which is a fraction of the price of a Naked palette.

I highely recommend these palettes to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative, but equally as high qulity, Naked palette.

W7 In The Nude Palette Review

Shades (from left to right) Latte, Angel, Venice, Marilyn, Copper Pot, Sun Kissed, Alice, Bad Manners, Coffee Cup, Mud Slide, Tokyo, Fashionista.

This Palette has a mixture of shimmery, matte and shiny shades. They range in different shades including pale and dark. They are all very higly pigmented and are very easy to apply.

My most used shades are Latte, Copper Pot, Sun Kissed and Fashionista. I like to create a smoky effect using these shades and they blend together very easily. I like to use Latte as a base colur, Copper Pot in my inner corner, Sunkissed in the outer corner and underneath my eye, and finally Fashionista in my crease.

This palette is the perfect dupe for the Naked 3 Palette but is so much cheaper (Retail: £9.99 Outlet: £5.99).

Some of the shades have a slight pink undertone, and other have a more brown undertone. They all look really lovely together when applied.

The packaging is really simple but pretty. The old packaging has creases in the lide like the Naked 3, but the new ones are smooth. You also get an applicator brush however, I prefer to use my own.

Shades: 10/10

Calvin Klein Lipstick Shade: Desire- Review

As it is coming up to Autumn, I thought I would start to review some of my favourite Autumn makeup products.

Today, I am going to be talking about the Calvin Klein Cream Lipstick in the shade Desire. 
This is the perfect Autumnal colour. As you can see from the swatch, it is a deep purple/red.

It goes onto the lips smoothly and helps to hydrate them. It is also very long wearing so you dont have to top it up through out the day. 

The pigmentation of the lipstick is AMAZING! It is exactly the same colour on the lips as it is on my hand (top right). It also isnt too dark, so is perfect if you don't want a really dark autumn lip.

Colour: 10
Packaging: 8
Cost: 10 (I brought this from an outlet shop for only £1.99 they retail for £11)
Overall: 28/30

Tanya Burr Lipgloss Review

Tanya Burr Lipgloss- Afternoon tea and Just peachy

Today I am going to review some of tanyas old collection lipglosses. I have 2 shades, on the left is Just Peachy and on the right is Afternoon tea.

First of all, the smell is amazing. They smell of strawberries and I belive the new ones smell of watermelon. It is such a nice touch as not many lipglosses have such a nice flavour. 

The colours are very pigmented and look stunning on there own or on top of a lipstick.

My one issue with these products is that the brush picks up ALOT of product. I find that I always have way to much on the brush and have to wipe most of it off. Some people may like to use alot of lipgloss, but I find it makes my lips look plasticy (is that even a word?!). However, this could be a positive as the lipglosses do last ages.

I think the packaging is very simple but professional. However, I think the price is quite high. £5.99 doesnt seem much but for 1 lipgloss its quite expensive. Especially for teens on a budget!

Zoella Lets Spritz! Review

Zoella Lets Spritz- Superdrug £8

First of all can we all just appreciate how gorgeous this packaging is! The teal blue lid looks perfect with the pink spary. Also, the lace panel of the back of the bottle look so pretty from the front.


This is from Zoellas new Tutti Frutti collection. The scent is absolutely AMAZING! I wear this everyday and the scent never gets boring. I first expected it to be a bit to sweet, however, I was wonderfully surprised when I first smelt it. I have had this perfume since the first week it came out and i still have about half a bottle. I use it everyday for school and all of my friends love it to.

I think that £8 for 45ml of perfume is great value for money. It is long wearing so you only have to spray it once or twice a day. 

100% this will be on my Christmas List twice this year so I never run out!!
