Make Up Revolution mono eyeshadow in Insomnia

Hi Beauts.

Today I bring to you an a review of an eyeshadow I can't get enough of, and that is Make Up Revolution's mono eyeshadow in Insomnia

I hadn't read or heard any reviews at the time of placing my order so decided to pick up one of the mono eyeshadows to try out. We all know that I'm a sucker for a purple eyeshadow so there's no way I couldn't not add this to my basket.

The packaging is plastic which has a hinge on one end and a small button on the other end which keeps the packaging closed. It is quite thin which I like as it does make it more travel friendly, and easier to pop in your everyday make up bag.

Now, how great are these inexpensive eyeshadows? Great! The pigmentation is amazing, one swipe and you have an intense colour payoff. I like to pack it into my outer V and blend into my crease, and it gives a gorgeous gradient effect doing it this way.
It is also super easy to blend out and so soft to apply too. I have found with the more inexpensive brands, that their eyeshadows are really hard to blend out. But not with this brand.

I'd describe this shade as a plum shade with a metallic pink sheen running through it. It's absolutely beautiful, and not a shade that I have in my collection already. 

This is an eyeshadow that shall be getting a lot of love, and I can't wait to pick up a few more shades to try out too!

Have you tried any of the Make up Revolution eyeshadows?

Maybelline Babylips in Berry Bomb

Hi Beauts.

Most beauty lovers already caved into the hype about the babylips, am I right ladies? I certainly did. After buying one I knew that I wanted to get a few other shades as I really enjoy using it, I think it's such a pretty and subtle shade. Rather than buying more in the UK and waited until my trip to NYC just in case they had more shades available, ones we don't have. And yup, they did. However rather than them being reds and pinks, they werw purple and green and orange to name a few. And to me, the shades reminded me of highlighter pens! I definitely wanted to try one out so picked up the purple one for me and the orange for my sister, kinda wish I'd have pixked up the green to see what it was like. 

I wasn't sure what to expect upon opening this but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. There's Definitely a hint of purple, but it's very subtle and completely wearable. I asked my sister if she the one she has gives off any orange colour, and again she said it does but a very subtle and wearable amount. As far as how moisturising and glossy they are, they're exactly the same as the babylips that have already hit our shelves. If you're a bit of a lip balm junkie then I'd definitely give these a whirl

Which is your favourite shade of babylips?
