Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette in 'Golden Sugar'




Lookie what I have!! I've wanted a blush palette for a while now, but had no clue which was the best to buy. I finally settled on this palette from Makeup Revolution, which is their Golden Sugar Palette. 

To start with the outer packing is that of black plastic. If you give it a tap then you can feel that it is very thick and sturdy feeling; it does not feel cheap in any way. It has a huge mirror spanning the upper lid of the interior. I think that it is the largest lid that I have ever seen in a makeup palette to-date.


Looking at the colours in the palette, I can certainly tell that the colours are definitely too warm and orange for my skintone; anyone who knows me knows that I am 'milk bottle' white. With that being said, I think that it is a very handy palette for me. Although Makeup Revolution has coined it as their 'Blush and Contour palette', the palette can be used in many more ways. I use the palette for blush, contouring, highlighting and as eye-shadows! 

The powders are amazing! In the pan, some of the powders have this lovely marble like effect to them, for example the white shimmer has gold marbling through it. It gives them the effect of looking very fancy and expensive.The textures of them are so soft and almost creamy; I thought, at first glance, that the might be a bit dry. Oh how wrong was I? The pigmentation was also top-notch. each of the swatches below on my forearm are just a single swipe. To me that's crazy!


From left to right: a cooler, less orange brown shimmer; a mauve plummy shimmer with a touch of brown; a bright coppery shimmer; a matte mid tone warm brown; a lighter version of the previous that is almost a satin effect; a light pinky purple shimmer; a light baby pink; and a white shimmer. You will not like this palette if sparkles and shimmer are not your thing. The vast majority of these shades are packed with it. Shimmer tends to emphasise large pores, so use cautiously if that applies to you.

One of the things that I am not fond of is that there are no specific names given to the shades. It's not a humongous problem, but it makes for vague referencing when referring to shades. I know that more recent Makeup Revolution palettes now have little clear laminate sheets with names on them.

For only £6, I think you get amazing value in this palette! You get eight nicely sized, highly pigmented creamy blushes, that any makeup lover would drool over.

Have you tried any of the other Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palettes?

MAC: Fraud or Not?

It's getting to the time of year when  people start gathering together all there gifts in the rush to the holiday season. They start trying to get the best gifts possible for the best price they can. Unfortunately that leaves them vulnerable for people to take advantage of them. The most common form of this is through the use of counterfeit goods.  Recently a MAC lipstick was purchased for me, as a Christmas gift, from eBay. When I learned of it I was immediately sceptical and dubious of how genuine it was; I like to research into the item and view the pictures available myself. When I checked the listing, the lipstick was listed as 'MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick'. Upon looking at the details and the images available, I noticed that there were very few specifics and one general image of the lipstick with the lid off. I immediately wrote to the seller asking for pictures of the bottom label on the box and the lipstick tube (Well as details such as finish and shade). I kn

Totally Fabby MAC Lipstick!

I'm in the middle of shopping for new products; sort of preparing for the transition from winter to spring. Instead of picking up deep burgundies and warm chocolates, I have started to pick up pastel pinks and vanillas. I cannot wait of the warmer weather to roll in.  MAC frost lipstick in the shade Fabby was one of those new seasonal additions I picked up recently. Fabby is a really muted rosy pink shade with a frost finish. The draw point, for me, is the frost sheen gives kind of a golden overlay to the lips. The golden tone just adds an extra dimension, and helps brighten up any makeup look.  For being a frost finish, the colour pigmentation is quite opaque with a single swipe. The texture is not that creamy, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'd describe it more as very similar to that of a MAC matte finish; creamy and not glossy. I feel that Fabby is one of MACs more overlooked shades; passed over in favour of the more hyped about lipstic

Barry M Colour Changing Lip Paint in Neptune

Remember way, way back, back to the very beginning of my blog. One of the very first products that I reviewed was the Barry M Lip Paint in the shade Genie. For those who don't know, Genie is an unusual colour changing lipstick. While it looks green in the tube, it turns a shade of pink on the lips that is supposed to be different for each person. It is supposed to be a result of the lipstick reacting to the alkaline level of the lips.
