Mini Make Up Revolution Haul

Recently, as I mentioned a couple of blog posts ago, I visited Superdrug's new Beauty Studio in Cardiff. So obviously, being the make up addict I am, I had to pick up a couple of bits. I ended up picking up 3 products from the Make Up Revolution range that I have never seen (other than online) or tried before. I've not been using them for too long but so far I really like them!
I picked up the eye shadow palette in 'Iconic 3' which has some really lovely pink nude shades. The eye shadows have a good pigment and payoff for everyday neutral colours. I really like these for just a wash of colour over the lid, particularly with the shimmery shades and they blend quite well when you build them up. As many people have probably said before I think this is a good little dupe for the Naked 3 Palette if you don't want to splurge and a bargain at £4!
I've always wanted to try a 'baked bronzer' but been a bit hesitant as to what it would look like. I swatched this one in the shop though and thought it looked just beautiful! I wouldn't use it for a contour as I would some bronzers, but it adds a beautiful very subtle shimmer when I apply it to the top parts of my face that the sun would hit naturally and gives off a lovely glow. I also tried this as an eye shadow when I was in a rush and loved the easy bronzed look that just gives a touch of highlight when needed.
This Blush and Contour palette is great! I picked it up in the shade 'Hot Spice' which consist of some coral shades, a couple of light grey/pink toned contours, a baked blusher and highlighter, perfect for travelling! They're really lovely and pigmented and blend well as a contour easily. The blush shades also look really nice and natural and are really easy to wear everyday or built up for a bit of a stronger evening look.
I'll definitely be purchasing more from Make Up Revolution soon!

Have you tried anything new lately? Or is there anything from Make Up Revolution I should pick up next?

My Christmas Beauty Goodies 2013

Now I know that it may seem a bit late, but I decided that I wanted my first blog post of 2014 to be about the beauty items that I got for Christmas last year. (How mad does it sound to say, or write that) I'm not doing this to brag at all about what I got, I just find that one of my favourite blog posts to read is about the things people get for Christmas, so thought I would do it myself too!

Now here's what I got...
There were a few things I've had my eye on for a long time and haven't gotten around to getting yet. I was lucky enough to get some absolutely lovely things..

The Best of Benefit Gift Set

I've always adored Benefit's products, so this set was full of loads of new and old favourites! The 'Porefessional' Primer has actually become my favourite primer of the moment and I will definitely be purchasing the full size!


Urban Decay Naked Palette
I have wanted one of these palettes for so long and haven't seemed to get around to going to town and purchasing one. This was probably one of my favourite ever present's I've gotten. I have used it every day since and will definitely be getting both of the other palettes ASAP!


Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Perfume Gift Set
I fell in love with this perfume one day when I was walking through Boots and given a little spray on a card as they do. I've never been very adventurous with perfume, generally keeping to my Calvin Klein or Chanel one's and was hooked. It's got a full size 30ml bottle and a little handbag/travel size which hasn't left my handbag.




Vera Wang Floral Rush Perfume
My gorgeous Aunt bought me yet another lovely perfume that I have lusted after for ages. I absolutely love the design of the bottle and was so excited to open this.



Babyliss Curl Secret Hair Curler
This curler is amazing! It makes curling your hair so easy and creates the most beautiful curls. It's not the cheapest of hair tools, however if you can, I would totally recommend everyone to get one of these!



What did you get for Christmas? Any beauty goodies I should know about to try next?
