A little Makeup revolution haul



It's been a while since I bought anything from makeup revolution, but when the Soph does nails collaboration came out I knew I wanted to give it a go. I mean look at the shadow palette it's absolutely beautiful. So obviously I picked up both the Sophx shadow palette which I have to admit I'm not as impressed with as I first thought I would be the mattes are beautiful however I find the shimmers just don't give enough pay off when they are used with a brush. I find they have to be wet which I don't mind but it's just a bit of a faff meaning I don't reach for it as often as I thought I would. Other than that the shadow shades are absolutely gorgeous and you can create such a huge variety of looks. I do really like this I just don't find I reach for it as often as I should. 

Moving onto the highlight palette, surprisingly this was my favourite out of the two. I was a little worried I'd find it too intense as Soph always has a super blinding highlight however I actually really like the shades. As long as I use a fan brush and don't pack it on I find you can get a really lovely subtle look from these. I love the shade range in this and it is a brilliant way to try out some more out there highlight shades without going crazy. I love the lilac on my super pale skin but I also love to mix up the shades so I end up with a pinky lilac or a gold based pink. 


You will probably know if you are a regular reader that I am a little obsessed with unicorns so when I saw that they were bring out a sheeny unicorn lip kit I couldn't resist, am I going to wear it? Maybe not but it was only £6 and I couldn't resist. Its a gorgeous duo chrome white gloss with a purple lip liner which just looks so cool. I also picked up the Dewy setting spray as it is something I have been curious about. I'm always on the hunt to find a setting spray which matches up to the Urban decay All nighter. This one is a little different as it takes away more dryness however doesn't make makeup last any longer. I picked up the Pearl lights loose powder highlight as I thought it would be really nice to mix into foundation to add a little bit of sheen. It's also really pretty just used on the cheek bones. I went for the true gold shade as I tend to reach for pinky highlights so I thought it would be something a little different for me. 

Finally I picked up another two palettes, the first being the Strobe luxe palette, if you hadn't already noticed I went a little highlighter mad in this order. Again this is a really beautiful subtle highlight palette and I absolutely love the patterning in the pans, it really reminds me of the Laura Mercier Christmas palettes. I especially love the palest shade however I find I can actually use all three shades on this skin which is something which doesn't happen very often. Finally I picked up the Flawless 3 Resurrection palette which is a gorgeous Burgundy based palette which is so my kind of palette. I definitely feel like the the quality of this is better than the Soph palette especially on the metallics. 

So that's it for today, I hope you enjoyed this post and I would love to know if you have tried any of these products before!

  2. I really want to try Soph's Palettes; i've heard many good things about them, it's a shame that the shimmers aren't as pigmented though! The strobe luxe palette looks so pretty too!

  4. The first ever palette I brought myself was a Makeup Revolution palette, and I still believe that they are so underrated! The pigmentation is crazy good for the price you're paying!
