Review | Makeup Revolution Mermaids Vs Unicorns Palette


Look at the colours.. This is one of the latest palettes from Makeup Revolution and boy have do they just keep getting better and better! Just look at the shimmery, intensly pigmented goodness swatched on my arm! (can I just add that its actually not easy to take a photo like that, this is how much I love them!). This is the Mermaids VS Unicorn Palette, so its a mix of shimmery green and aqua tones at one end, blending into the tourquise blue shades to give the Mermaid theme. Then at the other end of the palette there are some beautiful mystical colours for the Unicorn side of things. Deciding which end of the palette I love the most is truely quite difficult, I love the aqua colours but my favourite shades have to be the dark blue with the navy shimmer thorough it and the royal blue colour. We all know I'm going to have to counjour up some smokey eye look with this palette! Watch this space..
Of course once again, this palette is so cheap at only £4 which is insane as I am baffled how they can sell such good shadows for such a little price. I love most of the palettes from Makeup Revolution and mainly the bright coloured ones because I love to be out going with my eye makeup and I think everyone should be too. Don't be scared to be out going with your eyeshadow colours especially when you're wearing a black outfit, it'll give you that something extra.
You can buy the palette here (because I know you want too).

Keep an eye out for a look with this palette, once I actually have a second to stop I will create something mystical!

I hope you're all having a great start to 2015 and let me know your thoughts on this palette.

2014 Best Beauty Bits


I have to embarrassingly admit that some of these items are a little too loved but I cant help it! This is my first year of blogging and I have found so many amazing products that will definitly be repurchased once they run out. I'm not sure whether these posts are supposed to be about the best products that came out in 2014 that I loved or products that I loved in 2014 but still, I love all of these products!


Heres the run down:
MAC Blusher in Warm Soul
L'Oreal Collection Privee Lipsticking By Cheryl
Soap and Glory archery in Brownie Points
Maybeline Fit Me Concelear 
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette
MAC MSF Soft and Gentle
Makeup Revolution Eye Like Angels Palette
Rimmel London Wonderfull Mascara
L'Oreall GlamBronze
MAC Lipstick in Politey Pink
YSL Lipstick in Number 1
Makeup Revolution Awesome Double Flick Eyeliner 

There's been so much I enjoyed this year and everytime I picked something up, I noticed something else that I loved. 2014 was all about the glowing skin and the nude Kylie lip. I have discoverd some great lipsticks this year, inculding my first MAC lipstick, my first YSL lipsticks and the completely elusive L'Oreal Collection Privee Cheryl lipstick. They have all become staples in my lipstick collections and if someone had asked for a recommendation I would use one of these.
As you all know, I love creating a lot of eye looks and the Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angels Palette has such a great range of colours and the consistency is great. To top off my looks I use the Makeup Revolution Eyeliner because it just pulls a look together and this liner has completely changed my game! I feel like finding a good mascara or brow product that works for your is something quite hard to come by. The Rimmel Wonderfull Mascara has a great brush on it and I love the formula, if you haven't already tried it then I would really recommend because I have seen the difference in my lashes. The Soap and Glory Archery is seriously like no other brow product I know, I really love the brush tip with the brow tint as it individually coats each hair giving you a fuller looking brow effortlessly. 
The Maybeline Fit Me Concealer has been my absolute go to for months now, I love the consistency, the coverage and the colour match is spot on so its great for a cheap everyday concealer. The MAC Blusher, MAC MSF (highlighter) and the L'Oreal GlamBronze has been my go to finishing touches since about April now and I wont be changing it up for a long time as they just all blend to well together. A quick tip, the GlamBronze actually rivals high end bronzers as it is so soft and bendable!!
Of course, I had to throw the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette in there too because we all know that it has been a high point of the makeup world this year. Yes, it is a little costly but it is so worth the purchase, all of the powders perfect my look so well.

I would love to know what your 2014 favourites were, please leave your links below!
