Make Up Revolution - Mini haul ♡

Mini Haul: MakeUp Revolution & Freedom MakeUp 💓


I love a good haul! My local superdrug doesn't stock MakeUp Revolution (cries) so I have to wait until I go to my mum's or another city to stock up on bits. I absolutely love every product of theirs that I own, and I have a few palettes and lipkits so I was really keen to try some of their newer bits.

Freedom MakeUp Brow Powder Kit in Light-Medium
 

I have been trying to move away from brow pencil's and be more adventurous with brow products. I am IN LOVE with this palette! I managed to bag it at half price but I would still pay £10 for it as it is soooo good! The colour range is amazing and they are super pigmented shades and easy to fill in the brows this way - I feel it gives a full cover but natural, fluffier brow.
You get 12 shades and 2 concealer colours for any corrections and to go above and below the brow for touch ups. As you can see, there are shades to suit pretty much every skin colour in this palette and this isn't the darker palette either! 
The pans are split into 2, the left side being ashier in colour and the right being warmer. I have been opting to mix colours together and use darker shades towards the tail end of my brow. I even use the black & grey shades as eyeshadows as they are so pigmented and easy to blend.
SophDoesNails x Revolution Palette

  

I was umming and ahhing whether to buy this palette for a long time as I have seen/ read about/ watched soo many reviews on it and was toying with the idea of following the band wagon or not... I swatched it in the shop and was instantly sold! 
What I most like about this palette is that it is a bit of a 1-job-wonder... it has gorgeous transition colours, pops of brights, shimmers/ foils and mattes - AND a black! I always like to have a black for days I don't want liner but I need something dark in the outer corners.
The transition colours are lovely and really buildable and I have been enjoying pinky tones recently so went in with these shades on my eyes for this look and then (attempted) a halo eye with the gold shade 'Grow Old'. This was the shade I struggled with the most as I felt it wasn't overly pigmented but built up to a soft shimmery shade.
Overall, I do really like this palette and I do think it is so worth the purchase... It is only £8 and you get 24 colours... I really think Soph did well on this one! 

Conceal & Define concealer in C3


I could not wait to get my hands on this and try it! I have never used the Tarte Shape Tape but after seeing it be named the dupe - I was desperate to try! I could only get the shade C3 (I really want C1 too - and to try their contour shades) but I am so impressed with this! It is super full coverage and blends seamlessly on to the skin. I don't wear foundation to work often, and this is enough to cover any redness and dark circles as it is such a good coverage. Absolute bargain for £4! I need more!! 😍


Liquid Highlighter in shade Liquid Champagne 


I am becoming more and more addicted to liquid highlighters! I only got this in one shade because I wanted to try it before I invest in them all! I love anything champagne/ gold colours as I feel this compliments my skin best and this did not disappoint! It is a thick, runny consistency and I'd say it is really similar to the Iconic drops (more than the Barry M ones!) but much cheaper. There are 12 shades altogether; ranging from darker golds, to iridescents and pink tones and also a 'mermaid scales' colour which looks perfect for events. I often use these types of highlight under a matte foundation for glowy skin which is what I did here. The only thing i'll say is it is quite glittery/ shimmery as opposed to glowy and I would recommend using your finger to blend in to avoid any lines of metal!  But I really love it, and I will be buying more!💖

Ultra Blush Palette in Hot Spice


I have been trying to use more blushes, as opposed to covering myself in bronzer and this palette caught my eye with its pinky/ peachy tones and 2 baked shades. It's a bargain at £6 for 8 shades and I tend to swirl my brush over a few of them to give me a flush of colour. It has a nice amount of pigment that is buildable without being BAM straight away. Love.


The finished look...


What do you think? Let me know down below!

Lots of love EP 💕

Here are a few of the products I have been using religiously throughout January and some I really recommend for you guys to try! Sleek Cosmetics Blush Palette in Californ.I.A This palette is super affordable and it has a shimmer orangey toned shade and two matte shades, one being pinkier and one being more orange.  I tend to mix the two matte shades and apply them to the apples of my cheeks. It is suuuuper pigmented so you don't need much at all but it is lovely and soft and perfect for every day.  Sleek Cosmetics Contour Kit in Light I picked this up purely because of how dinky the packaging is and I thought it would be a perfect handbag product but I have used it pretty much eve...

❤ My Go-To Look ❤ Everybody has a go-to look that we reach for when we don't want to take any risks, we use products that we trust and recreate a look over and over knowing it is flattering and looks good for all occasions. I put a poll on my Instagram and this is the look you wanted to see... So here are my go-to products, why I choose them and how I create my go-to look which is.....  this! How to achieve:  Prep Simple Daily Moisturiser. I always always start with a good moisturiser. I like this one because it lasts for 12 hours and it sinks in to the skin and lasts all day. Kiehl's Reviving Daily Concentrate. My absolute go- to before make up! Smashbox Photo finish Primer. This is my current favourite primer. I used it a while ago and when I ran out I never replaced it but now I have it again I am in love all over again. I find the foundation really clings to it and lasts for hours.

L'Oreal Pro Glow Foundation ♡

Testing: L'Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation ♡ I LOVE a good foundation review... and this week I have been testing out the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro Glow Foundation. First of all... I have tried ALL of the L'Oreal Infallible range! I have used the 24 hour foundation (in the bottle) in 'Vanilla' for over a year and I really love the consistency and the finish as it is satin to demi-matte and lasts all day!  I have also tried the 24Hour Total Cover (the thicker one) and I am on the fence with it... It has SUPER thick coverage and is between a liquid and mousse consistency... so it depends how you like the feel of that on your skin as it is quite heavy...  But if you love a good coverage that literally doesn't budge - this may be worth a try for you! However, I am not a fan of the 24Hour Matte one (in the squeezy tube) as I feel it is too dry for my already dry-ish skin. I think I just prefer a glowy finish ...  And that is where Pro G...
