Makeup Revolution Midnight Unicorn Palette

Last week I was in Superdrug and noticed that Makeup Revolution had a limited edition range of Halloween products out. Yes, it's October already and Halloween is not far away. I'm a big fan of eyeshadows and I saw that Makeup Revolution had some new ones out, one of them being called Midnight Unicorn.

The Midnight Unicorn palette features 16 shimmer eyeshadows in colors that really stand out. If you are more of a natural eyeshadow person this palette isn't for you. For people like me who love intense colors, this palette is right up your street.

If you love your color it can be hard to decide where to start when you have so many amazing ones in front of you. My favorite colors are pinks, purples and blues so I ended up creating different looks with those sorts of colors. There was a good amount of pigment in them apart from one of the purple shades which I thought didn't have much pigment at all. All of the other colors were fine and blended nicely too. Another great thing is they didn't crease either and stayed on all day.

Makeup Revolution Soph Eeyeshadow Palette

Makeup Revolution is a budget brand I really like and have very recently released a new eyeshadow palette. It's a collaboration between Sophie from SophDoesNails and Makeup Revolution. In the palette are 14 matte and 10 shimmers in a wide range of colors from natural to dramatic.

Most of the colors are guaranteed to give you a look that really stands out, although if you prefer something more natural you could create a look that you like too. As I love colors that are very intense. I was spoilt for choice with this palette. Although the matte shades were great I preferred the shimmers as I love a bit of sparkle. I did think the mattes were a bit on the dry side and did come out a bit powdery. The shimmers were much better and had a good amount of pigment in them and blended nicely. Although not pigmented on the same level as brands like Urban Decay, for £10.00 this is a rather good palette.

Too Faced Glitter Bomb Palette

Whenever I see a new palette, especially from a brand that I love, I get super excited. When I was at Too Faced the other week I noticed that they had a new palette out called Glitter Bomb. The really sparkly colors in it stood out to me and I knew that I had to get this palette.

So what is it, you are probably wondering. It's basically a glittery eyeshadow palette with 8 sparkly shades. It also comes with matte white and blacks to use as base colors. The colors can be worn on their own but I think they work best with a base on.

As this is a glitter palette I do think it is best to wear an eyeshadow primer to stop the glitter from falling down and to make sure your eyeshadow stays on all day. I preferred to use the matte black as a base. The black had a really good amount of pigment and worked as a really good base for the glitter.

There are so many good colors of glitter to choose from and once the base color was on I just layered the glitter colors on top and made them look very intense. The glitter went on more like an eyeshadow rather than a glitter. What has put me off glitter before, is how loose and easy it is to drop down. With the glitter in this palette, once it is on it doesn't transfer or drop down and stayed on all day without creasing or fading.

Also available and sold separately to this palette is the Glitter Glue Shadow Primer which is designed to keep the glitter on all day. It did have a bit of a sticky feel to it, but not very tacky as you would think a glue would be. The sticky feel isn't really a problem, but as I used the Urban Decay Shadow Primer as a base underneath all of the other colors, I found that the Glitter Glue was unnecessary as my Urban Decay primer kept the glitter in place. The Glitter Glue would be good if you didn't have a good eyeshadow base already.

The colors in this palette look amazing and look even better on.

Too Faced Love Light Highlighter

Apart from liquid lipsticks, highlighters are my must have products right now. The other day I got one of the Love Light Highlighters from Too Faced. It comes in this really amazing heart shaped silver compact and is available in three different shades. The color I got was called Blinded By The Light which is a warm beige with a pearl finish.

Too Faced describe this one as a prismatic highlighter which combines the best of liquid, powder, baked and cream powder formulas for unparalleled radiance. 

This one gives the most amazing glow. When it comes to highlighters I like these sorts of shades as they look fantastic on. I didn't have to keep layering it on as the color had a good amount of pigment which meant I didn't have to use much. It stayed on all day too without fading.

I want to try the other colors that are available too as they look amazing on.

Too Faced Papa Don't Peach Blusher

I love Too Faced because they bring out some really unique products including scented products. I haven't seen a brand that has such a fantastic range of scented products before. First was their Chocolate Bar palettes and now the Sweet Peach collection which has eyeshadows and blushers with the most amazing scent of peach. 

The Papa Don't Peach blusher is a peach infused blush from the Sweet Peach collection. The packaging looks awesome and the blusher has the peach design stamped into it. It doesn't fade with use either unlike some products that have designs stamped into them.

The pigment is fantastic too and it has a nice smooth texture to it which means it glides on nicely. I didn't have to use a lot to get the color to show up and it gave my cheeks a really nice glow. Once on it didn't fade or need reapplying either.

I just love the products from this collection. I have the peach eyeshadow palette too which I highly recommend and I want to get the Sweet Peach Glow palette.

Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick - Queen B

Right now I'm loving liquid lipsticks and one I have tried before and thought was great was the Too Faced Melted Mattes. They come in a range of colors from naturals to dark purple. The color I got is called Queen B and is a soft mauve color.

These may be a matte but they are not at all drying and are very comfortable to wear. The color glided onto my lips nice and smooth too. One of the many great things about these lipsticks is that they do manage to stay on for most of the day without having to be reapplied. The packaging is awesome and comes with a doe foot applicator for easy application.

The color looks awesome on and my favorite way to wear it is with a dramatic eye look.

Have you tried the Melted Matte lipsticks before?

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick - Wonderchilde

Kat Von D make some amazing products, especially their lip colors. Their Studded Kiss Lipsticks are amazing and come in a full range of colors from nudes to more daring colors like dark purples. Purple is such a great color on the lips and the color I went for was called Wonderchilde which is a iridescent neon lilac color.

The color looked amazing on and it glided onto my lips nicely and didn't dry them out. These lipsticks are well pigmented and don't need a lot of applying to get the color looking intense. It also stayed on most of the day too without needing reapplying. There were two ways I wore this - on it's own and with the Alchemist Holographic Palette.

The Alchemist Holographic Palette also by Kat Von D can be used as a highlighter palette or the colors can be layered on top of other products to change the color. I put one of the colors from the palette on top of this lipstick to change the color, which looked amazing.

On it's own

With Alchemist Holographic Palette

Both on it's own and with a color on top the lipstick looked amazing. I just love the colors that Kat Von D bring out.
