Makeup Revolution Haul!

Makeup Revolution Haul!

I recently visited the Makeup Revolution London website and may or may not have spent the £30 necessary to receive free shipping - it was, as I'm sure you can imagine, extremely easy.
The company is extremely affordable and is pretty amazing quality across the board (unlike MUA and ELF which are completely hit and miss for me.) 

Anyway; on with the haul!

the first thing I ordered was their pressed powder in 'translucent' and let me tell ya, it's not translucent! It's closer to an NC25 but is a lovely consistency and finish. I adore the swivel packaging and the big mirror too. 3.5/5

The Bronzer in 'Matte Medium' is fantastic for the whopping £2 I payed for it. Finding a completely matte bronzer is hard enough without being on a budget so this is fantastic. the formula is a little chalky for my liking but it looks beautiful if you use a light hand and blend well.

4/5

The powder blush in 'Wow' has become an every day staple for me, a bright, flirty pop of pastel pink. perfect for summer! It cost £1 which is insane - I will definitely be purchasing more of the blushes.

5/5

(please excuse my old fake tan in these photos... it happens to the best of us)

the Cover and Conceal Palette in 'Light/Medium' contains 8 different shades of concealer ranging from what I would guess is NC15 to NC35. the concealers are very lightweight so not best for those face erruptions but are beautiful as a base on any redness or as a finishing tough (I like to use the salmon shade on my undereye circles). The formula is cream and almost dewy when dry.

3.5/5

Next on the shopping list was the Blush and Contour Palette in 'Hot Spice' which unfortunately has no contour shades in it at all, contrary to what the name of the product would have you believe.
However, the palette itself is gorgeous, there are 2 highlighter shades, 3 Matte, 1 Shimmer and 2 Satin shades of blush inside. the colours are all warm tones oranges and pinks which would be beautiful on olive skin especially. The blushes themselves are beautifully pigmented though I am disappointed at the lack of a contour colour.

3.5/5

I ordered the 'What you waiting for?' Palette as the colours are just so me. I LOVE the fact that the matte shades are all warm tones neutrals and the shimmers are very reminiscent of the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. The cool tones taupey-purple (the 4th matte shade) is a dupe for 'Nooner' which happens to be my favourite shade from Naked 3, perfect for a diffused crease on my hooded blue eyes.

The shades are super pigmented, creamy, there is very little fall out and for £4 I honestly don't know what more you could ask for!
5/5

The next item I bought was one of the £1 range of lipsticks - I got 'Enchanted' which reminds me of snob from mac due to it being a blue toned baby pink. It is super gorgeous and moisturising.

5/5

This highlighter is undoubtedly my favourite thing from the whole order.It is SOOOO pigmented you would not believe it. I have to use the tiniest amount on my brush and it gives the most amazing summery golden glow. I am in love, and it has earned a spot in my permanent makeup bag (if only because it will take me years to leave a dent in this bad boy.) Plus it was only £3!
5/5

I cannot get over the quality and prices of this brand. I am so pleased I found them! Let me know if you would like to see more swatches or hauls or makeup looks created with these products!

and here is the look i created using the concealer, blush, eyeshadow palette, bronzer and the lipstick!
