REVIEW: Makeup Revolution Eyeshadow Palettes

Hey everyone, 

A few months ago I was scrolling through instagram and came across some eyeshadow palettes by Makeup Revolution! I absolutely loved the colours in them so I was keen to find out more and look at maybe purchasing some. I hadn't heard much about the brand or their products before so I did a lot of research and read reviews online before buying them myself. I went onto the companies website and saw the incredibly cheap price of the palettes and decided I might aswell give them a try! 


I bought the 'Ultra Eyeshadows Flawless Matte Palette' and the 'Ultra eyeshadows Affirmation Palette'. Each one cost only £8! I've tried these eyeshadows out for the last few months so I could give an honest opinion of them. I must say the pay off and pigmentation isn't excellent (ESPECIALLY on the shimmers) but when used with a good primer they do last a good amount of time. As the matte shadows seem to be a lot better to work with than shimmers I prefer the 'Flawless Matte' Palette. It includes a lot of neutral shades that are perfect for using as transition colours. 


The palettes both include 32 eyeshadows which I must admit are quite small considering how much you have to use to get a good payoff. One thing I will say about the actual palette is the size of the mirror... It is fantastic! 


After trying these products I learnt you pay for the quality you get which is why they aren't excellent but for the price I can't complain! 


Let me know if there are anymore products you would like me to try out and give reviews on!

I'M BACK: Exciting and busy times!

Hey everyone, 

I'm REALLY sorry I've been neglecting my blog and its been so long since I've posted properly! I have had a crazy month to say the least! 


For as long as I can remember it has been a dream of mine to live in London and on November 9th my dream finally came true and I moved! I am now living in London working as an Au Pair and I'm loving it! I settled in really quickly and felt so welcomed. I'm going to be 100% honest when I say its not all a walk in the park. Some days are tougher than others and I'm really pushing myself. Having anxiety I often just shut off from situations I don't feel comfortable in and completely remove myself but in this case I can't because there is a family depending on me and children that need to be taken care of. I'm taking everything as an experience I can learn from, both the good and the bad. 


Moving away from home was such a huge step for me and I feel proud of myself for actually having the courage to take the leap and aim for my dreams. I miss my family and people back home so much but knowing they are only a 50 minutes flight away or just on the end of the phone if I ever need a chat is really settling. As challenging as it is I feel like I'm going to be in a much happier place mentally living here and I'm so excited to see what London brings for me! 


I'll keep you all updated on my journey and I promise from now on I will have at least 1 blog post going up every week, just stick with me!
