Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Spray

Rarely do I spend such a great amount of time out that I do need to fix my makeup. Nor do I ever think about touching up any of my makeup other than my lips. Throughout a typical day I could only say that I notice my foundation fading. I'm back at Uni now, which means I can spend up to 12 hours out and about. I also have more special night events to attend this semester which will require a more long lasting look.

I bought the Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Spray back in October for Halloween parties, and the Christmas Holidays thinking it would be a good introducing to setting sprays without having to pay a lot more for the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray; although I now also have a travel size of the Urban Decay.

The nozzle allows for an even distribution of the spray over the face; I usually find that two pumps is about average. The spray does leave my face feeling a bit damp for a minute or two until it dries, which is not a massive problem. In fact, I can see it being refreshing during warm summer weather. I like that it is a smaller bottle which makes it especially travel friendly. I tend to chuck it into whatever handbag I'm using at the time. One thing that it doesn't help, nor does it claim to, is oil control. I still end up as oily as normal with this on. Makeup Revolution have a oil control version of the spray which I may try next.

This is a really good budget friendly setting spray that does what it says. It makes my makeup last long enough during long days that I don't have to retouch. It takes some of the hassle out of having to keep checking what my makeups like when I'm at a more formal event, such as the various University dances on at this time.

What setting sprays have you tried, loved and cannot live without?

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.
