Make Up Revolution Haul♥

Oh my make up goodness! I have endlessly good things to say about this brand! The products are great quality, pigmented, and super affordable just to name a few.

Above are a few items i picked up on the Make Up Revolution website and also in Superdrug.

♥ Lips - 

These lipsticks are amazing. I was skeptical on how the quality was going to be as they only cost £1 each, but i had no need to be! They're pigmented, have great wear-ability and smell sweet like vanilla. I picked a mixture of different colours up as i felt they could all work for different situations and events.

Blue Lipstick - Immoral

Purple Lipstick - Depraved

Pink Lipstick - Enchant

Blood Red Matte Lipstick - Fusion

Almost Black Lipstick - 100% Vamp

♥ Eyes - 

Make Up Revolution have such a large array of single eye shadows and palettes to pick from making it a long but fun process picking out my favourites. I am extremely happy with the pigmentation of all these eyeshadows and the diverse looks that can be created with them!

I bought the Out Of This World Eyeshadow Collection as i couldn't just pick a couple of the merged eyeshadows, i needed them all! The great thing is if you buy a whole collection on their site they tend to have a deal. The deal for this collection was buy all 8 for £9.00 and get 2 of them free, which is great as it saves you £3.00!

(In Picture order)

1 - Blue Planet

2 - Heavenly 

3 - Starburst

4 - Moon Dust 

5 - Limitless

6 - Astral

7 - Celestial 

8 - Galactic

  

♥ Full Out Of This World Collection

The Colour Chaos Palette is probably the brightest I've even owned, as i tend to keep my eyes quite neutral. Although i felt like stepping out of my comfort zone and seeing what looks i could create with such a colour filled palette!

The palette consists of 18 eyeshadows, some matte and some shimmery and also an double ended sponge applicator and a large mirror for applying/ touching up on the go!

♥ Salvation Palette Colour Chaos

I added to my cart the £1.50 Amazing Lengths Mascara. Just like everything else it did not disappoint, the applicator is plastic and thin with even strands that separate my eyelashes perfectly and help to create a nice amount of length. The mascara can also be built up for a fuller look.

August Birchbox Products Review ♥

This month's theme is 'Away We Go!' supplying me with products that are orientated around going away during the summer. Personally i haven't had the opportunity to travel anywhere hot this year, but thankfully we've had some hot days here in the UK, so these products have come in handy none of the less.

It seems right to begin this post with my favourite product i received. This Vasanti BrightenUp! exfoliating cleanser works wonders for my skin, as i have naturally dry skin mainly in my T-zone area. The Micro-crystals and other beneficial ingredients completely freshen up my skin removing dry skin, impurities and any left over make up i may of missed. 

I haven't been using the product everyday, as i don't feel like it is necessary but on days where i feel like i need a little more appose to my everyday cleanser, this is the product i reach for! I will definitely consider treating myself to a full sized bottle when i'm finished with my sample, it's great!

I was a bit hesitant to try this product out, as it is an oil which is something i wouldn't normally purchase myself, fearing it'll make my skin greasy. Although i put these feelings aside and tried it out anyways. Using the product on its own after cleansing didn't quite moisturize my skin effectively, so i find it works best when i apply my everyday moisturizer over the top. 

I've been using this product now every morning after my cleansing routine for about 2 and a half weeks, and i can definitely see a change in my skin. It looks so much healthier and happier. When it comes to repurchasing i'm going to have to give it a pass as a full size bottle is £58, which personally is a little out of budget!

The Number 4 Lumiere d'hiver Super Comb & Protect spray is a nice all rounder, supplying my hair with everything it needs to look more appealing and tamed. I especially like that it protects my hair from sea salt and chlorine, meaning my hair doesn't feel like straw after a dip in the pool or sea!

I've been using the Supergoop! CC Cream on hot days due to it having a built in high SPF 35 sunscreen, which i think is fantastic for something that offers coverage too! I have been using the product as a primer although it says its both primer and foundation, but i don't feel it give me as much coverage as i would like, so i just apply a small amount of my usual foundation over top, giving me a flawless finish.

I appreciate that Birchbox sent me two of the 3 ml tubes as they sure to last me a while!

I quite simply love this highlighter pencil. I apply it to any dark areas, mainly under my eyes, on my cupid's bow and to highlight my brow bone then gently blend with my ring finger. The natural 'Ivory Lace' Shade matches my light skin tone perfect and instantly makes me look so much more awake!

I am so pleased with the generous size of this sample, which is definitely going to last me a good while.

This month's extra was a chapter of The Proposal by Tasmina Perry. It is a romantic novel, which deals with love, adventure and betrayal. I feel this small sample hasn't swayed me enough to buy the full copy, although it was a nice little read in the sun. Book wise i tend to go for ones that offer mystery and suspense; those books that you just can't put down because you always want to know whats going to happen next! 

Overall its been another successful month, i can't wait to see what September brings!

Let me know in the comments what has your favourite product(s) been this summer? 

P.s i like to upload my Birchbox reviews at the end of each month as it gives me time to try and test each product thoroughly, this way i can give an honest full opinion. :)

Have a wonderfully day!
