Make Up Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks

Look at these!! How beautiful are these lipsticks?? They are stunning!! these are Make up Revolutions newest bullet lipsticks in this gorgeous rose gold packaging. When I saw these my obsession for all things rose gold took over and just I had to buy them, and I am so glad I did!

They at the moment only have 5 shade and I'm unsure if they are going to come out with anymore but if they do I will be the first to purchase them!!

 

This one is called Red Carpet, as you can see this is a really classic red shade that will look great on anyone as it not too orange and not too blue toned. I adore this shade and it is one of my favourites from the collection because I'm always on the look out for a really great red!! 

This is Private Members Club and it's one for all you dark colour lovers that want something nearly black but not quite! Its a stunning deep purple that comes off a little sheer but if you layer it you get a really nice opaque colour that is just beautiful. 

The name of this shade has to be my favourite it's called Girls Best Friend and I can see why!! It's the most perfect shade of bright pink that is an awesome subnet colour. This shade looks great with a turquoise/blue colour on the eye!! 

This beautiful shade is called Chauffeur! It is a stunning nude shade that is actually my favourite shade of the collection because I love nude lips!! I don't know what else I can say about this one the colour really speakers for itself it's a perfect nude that will suit a wide range of skin tones! If you only get one of these lipsticks then get this one!! 

This is Diamond Life. It's a pinky purple shade that is also gorgeous! It needs to be layered to get a fully opaque colour on the lips but even as a sheer shade it's stunning!! 

At only £3 per lipstick you can't go wrong with this collection!! Another win for Make Up Revolution!!!

Make Up revolution 2nd birthday!!

So the amazing brand Makeup revolution turned 2 this year and they invited a tonne of bloggers/vloggers/makeup artists and makeup lovers to celebrate their birthday with them at Cafe de Paris in London!!

I was one of the extremely lucky people who got an invite!!!! YAY!!!!!! 

As I was going on holiday on the Saturday and the event was on the Thursday in London I thought I'd take advantage of the time to spend the whole day in London and do some shopping and as I was going to be shopping I decided that it would be a good idea to drive. So I drove to Shepard's Bush Westfield and parked their for the day. I then mooched around Westfield popping into some of my favourite shops (Ted Baker, House of Fraiser, LUSH, Superdrug, etc) I got a bit carried away in LUSH and I will be doing a haul post in the next week. I Jumped on the tube and over to Oxford street because I knew that there was one piece from LUSH that I could only get there and I wanted to grab a few last minute bits for me and my boyfriend from Primark for our holiday. After doing all my shopping I dropped my stuff back in the car and made my way over to the party at the stunning Cafe de Paris venue. 

I was supposed to be meeting up with another girl who was going but she fell ill at the last minuet and had to cancel so I made my way in by myself and I have to admit I was a little bit daunted because I am really shy when I'm thrown in to situations where I don't know any one, but I bumped into two lovely girls Kirsty and Tess who also met at the event and they took me under their wings and we ended up having a lovely night.

The event started at 4 and it was a chance for bloggers to meet and mingle and have a look at some of the new products that have just been and will soon be launched. 

This is Makeup Revolutions sister brand I HEART MAKEUP and their newest addition to their extremely popular Chocolate bar collection of palettes (of which I'm a huge fan) this should be launching on Wednesday 23rd march and I cant wait!!! I LOVE all the shades this really is right up my ally!!! 

Then on to the make up revolution table which was over flowing with new products from shimmer bricks and blush/ highlight palettes to brand new liquid lipsticks (not liquid to matte lipsticks!!) but of all the new releases the most sought after is the Fortune Favours The Brave palette that has been made in collaboration with Jane (British Beauty Blogger) it is a beautiful palette of 30 eye shadow shades that have been especially chosen by Jane so that anyone could use the palette. This beauty has already launched and is only £9.99 (that's an amazing price for 30 shadows of this quality!!)

After looking at what the brands had to offer came the party segment of the evening!!! It started with cocktails and picky foods and chocolate fountain! 

Adam Minto (the owner of the makeup revolution brand) got up on stage to say thank you to all the people who had been involved with making the brand what it is today! They then also announced the big news that in conjunction with Freedom Makeup there will be a competition happening this year for budding make up artists to enter to win a grand prize of £10000, a years supply of Freedom makeup and being signed to the Freedom makeup brand!! All information will be released by Makeup revolution after the 1st April and I will be signing up to be a part of it!! I can't wait!! 

The highlight of my night was meeting the great Mr Makeup and having a chat and getting a few scoops about what is up and coming from the brand!! I'm so excited to tell you all about it!! After he met everyone who wanted to say hi he announced that the amazing Scott Mills was to DJ for the evening!! 

Thank you for sticking with me this long I know it's a long blog but I wanted to have you a taste of what the evening was like!! :)

Honey Bee Bath bomb (LUSH)

I recieved this bath bomb from my sister as part of a Honey gift box for Christmas (honey is really good for eczema prone skin!) it came with this Honey I Washed The Kids soap, Its Raining Men Shower gel and a Massage bar! 

I tried this bath bomb out the other day so thought I'd write a quick review on it!! 

This is the LUSH description from their website:- A good soak in a Honey Bee bath will soothe and cleanse the skin thanks to its wonder trio of honey, aloe vera, and rhassoul mud, a clay mined near Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. Honey is a wonder ingredient that soothes, retains moisture and is antiseptic, and we add plenty of cooling aloe vera, too. Rhassoul mud has natural cleansing properties, and also helps condition and soften the skin.

So I can say straight off the bat it's got a very faint scent! Which some people will really love as do I sometimes but I really love the LUSH products that are heavily scented!! It is however very heavily coloured with yellow and left a light yellow stain on my skin and in the bath (which I scrubbed off once I was out! Obvs!) It is a lovely moisturising bath bomb and it made for a very lovely bath!! Well worth a buy and I will be repurchasing soon!!

Franks Body Scrub

OOOHHH.MYYY.GAAAD!!!!

This scrub is amazing!!!!!! I have well and truly fallen in love with it.

As you know I have skin issues and get some really bad patches of eczema on my face and body, so in conjunction with my Vanity Planet Spin 4 Perfect Skin face and body brush which I have been die hard for since I bought it in the middle of last year, I have started using the Franks coffee body scrub. now I wasn't the first person in my family to try this my little sister tried it first and I used it a couple of times and liked it so much that when she moved away to uni I vowed to get my own! So I did!! 

I picked up the Cacao Coffee Scrub which is a blend of roasted and ground robusta coffee beans, organic cacao extract, cold pressed almond oil and cold pressed macadamia oil. They say that it smells like chocolate cake, which it does with a hint of coffee, it is vegan and not  tested on animals and can be used to target dry skin, stretch marks, cellulite and acne. They suggest to use it 3-5 times a week but for me that is a bit much as I have got really sensitive skin.

I am in LOVE with this coffee scrub its just the right amount of tough on the skin where you can actually feel its working. I like to use in the morning as it makes me feel awake and makes my makeup go on so much better, as a girl who suffers from texture on my face I can't tell you how much of a life saver this is.

The scrub itself comes in four different scents Original (made with orange oil so has a lovely orangey scent) Cacao (chocolate) Coconut and Peppermint. I have tried the Original and the Cacao now and loved them both and I am intrigued to try the others when this one runs out! This scrub itself is a must for anyone who suffers from problem skin like i do or for those who just like a good exfoliator!

Hope you enjoy it let me know what you think of the scrub if you try it!!
