Makeup Revolution // Blush Palette's

  A   M A K E U P   R E V O L U T I O N  

Well hello there! Let's jump right into this post because there is a lot of images to go through. I just had to have these new Makeup Revolution blush palette's. I've seen a couple of blog posts showing off these amazing palette's and knew I had to pick them up. They only cost £6.00 each, you can purchase them at any participating Superdrug stores on the highstreet, Superdrug Online and Makeup Revolution Online . I bought mines from the Superdrug on Princes Street, Edinburgh. 

A little bit about the brand ... Makeup Revolution is a new, London based makeup brand, launched earlier this year they produce excellent quality cosmetics at very affordable prices, starting at only £1. With more than 300 products to choose from your are sure to find something truly amazing. What they say ...

Okay, now onto the palette's. I picked up the only two that are available so far, Hot Spice and Sugar & Spice. I was surprised by the quality of these palette's, they have a nice weight to them and look nice and sleek with a glossy black finish. The palette's came in their own individual outer box which was sealed. Bonus! For me, this is a great feature because you know that your palette hasn't been tampered with or swatched. Inside they come complete with 8 different blush colours including 1 baked blush and 1 baked highlighter.

Unfortunately my swatch pictures didn't turn out so well but here are some pictures of both palette's:

Both palette's are extremely pigmented and have very strong colour pay off when applied. Be careful of how much you use. The harshness of colour may perhaps be a slight let down if I am being honest. You have to make sure you blend these colours right in otherwise they will look like you have waaaaay to much blusher on!

Nevertheless, I think these palette's are great for people who are either, just starting out with makeup or like me, a complete cosmetic fiend that just can't help herself when it comes to exciting new makeup.

Let me know if you have tried anything from Makeup Revolution and what you think of their products.

Yankee Candles #1

Yankee Doodle!

Hey lovely readers ! Some of you may have noticed that my blog has been undergoing some serious changes over the past few weeks, I have been playing around with various styling trying to decide what I want my blog to look like. I think I have finalised my blog layout now minus some small things here and there. Anyways I wanted to show you these Yankee Candles I purchased recently which were an absolute bargain! 

A couple of weeks ago Clinton Cards (UK) had special offers on on all of their Yankee Candles: 

Offer 1 - 25% off all Yankee Candles

Offer 2 - 3 for 2

If you are no stranger to Yankee Candles you will appreciate how much of a steal this was. I purchased three of the large jars (623g each) for under £30 - Pink Dragon Fruit, Turquoise Sky and Wild Fig. I couldn't resist this great buy and thought I would share with you all. I'm not sure if you can still get this offer but Clinton always tend to have some kind of offer on. Check your local store and online. 

Pink Dragon Fruit (Fruit Collection) - The ultimate girly, fruity, fresh, clean smell. My favourite Yankee scent of the bunch, if you haven't tried this one then I highly recommend giving it a go you'll love it!

Turquoise Sky (Fresh Collection) - If you love smells like Clean Cotton or Fluffy Towels you are bound to fall in love with this one, it's fresh but soothing at the same time. It has a rich luxurious blend and perfect for a sitting area.

Wild Fig - Okay, this is a new fragrance from Yankee. I wouldn't say it smells exactly like fig, I mean you do smell it a little but it reminds me of Autumn and cold winter nights. I can imagine being all cosy in my house on a cold winters evening with this burning in the background. 

I've been buying Yankee Candles for a while now and having tried several other brands and scents these have to be the best ones yet. The large jars actually burn for weeks, they last a very long time so even at the original price of £19.99 you still get your moneys worth. One thing to keep in mind about these candles is making sure that your wick is kept nice and short so that the candle can burn evenly without producing nasty black smoke. Also keep your jar clean so that the candle stays nice and bright when lit. 

That is my Yankee Candle set for now, if you have any questions please just ask.

Thanks for stopping by!
