Makeup Revolution - I Heart Makeup - Blushing Hearts Blush

Ello Lovelies!

Another Makeup Revolution review for you today! MUR have been cracking out the affordable dupes on their website, but although these aren't the latest release, they certainly aren't ones to be ignored. Very similar in packaging to the Too Faced blushes these make a very pretty addition to any makeup lovers collection. With 6 shades in the range at a mere £4.99 the Blushing Heart blushers, bronzers and highlighters are not to be missed! The two shades i picked up are the gorgeous Goddess of Love highlighter and Peachy Keen blusher. Housed in a somewhat sturdy cardboard packaging these aren't the easiest product to store, but do look mighty pretty sat on top of a dressing table!

 Goddess of Light is a stunning beige/champagne highlighter with a multi-tonal shimmer running through it that my camera just wouldn't pick up. I had reviewed another Makeup Revolution highlighter in the past and this one definitely trumps it. With a light hand it adds just a subtle sheen but can easily be built up for a more evening appropriate highlight. The only slightly downfall with these is although they are pretty, these aren't ones you'll be popping in your makeup bag for on the go, they are just too big! I found this shade to wear well for around 6 hours without fading which is about the average for me.

 Peachy Keen is my favourite out of the two, although it does have a little more noticeable small glitter chunks running through it. A gorgeous peachy hue that works well with a multitude of looks. Again it can be worn sheer for that flush of colour or built up for a more dramatic look. They blend beautifully into the skin and give the most gorgeous sheen to the cheek. These definitely do have a little sparkle to them, so if you're a strictly matte blush kinda girl, you might want to skip these. But for fans of a little bit of shimmer, these are simply stunning.

Now I've never splurged on the Too Faced option so can't really compare the two but these are gorgeous in their own right. For a baked product they wear well, blend easily and look fantastic on the skin. What more can you want? If you're a fan of a shimmery cheek i wholeheartedly recommend giving these beauties a whirl! Like always, I've got my eye on the other two blush shades in the collection!

You can find these on the Makeup Revolution site here. (RRP: £4.99)

Makeup Revolution Death By Chocolate Palette - Review

Hi there Lovelies!

We've all seen a million reviews and lusted over that other famous chocolate bar inspired eyeshadow palette over the last six months or so but up until recently we've had no drugstore alternative to turn to, until now! Makeup Revolutions sister brand I Heart Makeup have released a pretty darn similar product at a fraction of the price point, well theres actually two palettes but today I'll be reviewing Death By Chocolate! Now I'm yet to take the plunge for the pricier option so sadly I cannot compare the two so I'll just be reviewing the quality of the product. Knowing me at some point I'll cave and do a comparison post, but my no buy isn't allowing that just yet...

Death By Chocolate is priced at a mere £7.99 (keep a look out for discount codes as there normally is one floating about) for 16 shadows so this definitely files under the "bargain" category. It boasts a variety of finishes from mattes, satins to more metallic shades which gives the palette a ton of versatility. I'm really enjoying the addition of the purple shade to contrast all those neutrals, it also works perfect with the gold toned shades on the lower lash line. The matte shades are a little dry, but on a whole all affordable mattes are, but are easy to work with on the eye and actually perform better than the swatches show. Oh and as always, my swatches really don't do the colours any justice. 

I've purchased a few Makeup Revolution palettes over the past few months and this is definitely the one I've been reaching for the most. I love the variety in cooler and warmer neutrals and the option to add a pop of colour if i choose to. The matte shades are a great addition to this palette as you have a matte highlight, one that works as a transition and a black, everything you could possibly need in a palette! The shade selection gets a massive thumbs up from me! The palette itself isn't really my cup of tea but the plastic feels sturdy enough with a nice large mirror inside for on the go application. The only other downside i could pick out is that you do get some fall out during application, which is easily remedied by doing your eye makeup first, so not really a big complaint! The swatches below were done on bare skin with no primer.

White Light - Don't Let Go - Break Me Up - Consume Me - All is Lost

Lick Me - Fool's Gold - One More Bar - Devour Me - Tear The Wrapper - Love You To Death

Pray for Me - Dipped - Tease Me - Set Me Free - Bring Down Angels

Overall Death By Chocolate gets a big thumbs up for me. While i wouldn't put it quite in my holy grail palettes just yet I'm really enjoying using it on a daily basis. It is sure to be a hit for all you neutral fans out there. I'd be lying if i said i didn't have my eye on the other Chocolate palette in the range... What can i say? I'm a sucker for neutrals!

If you're in the market for a new affordable neutrals palette with a bit of a twist i highly recommend checking this one out!
