Makeup Revolution London Ultra Blush Palette


I will certainly be purchasing some more makeup revolution goodies after trying this palette, great first impression. 

They have an abundance of choice! I needed more pink and blush tones so I purchased the Sugar and Spice blush palette to check out the quality. I didn't expect the shades to be so pigmented as it was a cheap palette so I put a generous amount on the brush, I was mistaken. They are so pigmented and I was surprised at the quality considering the price, great value for money. 


The first Blush shade is probably my most frequently used, it's a pretty and natural pink with a hint of brown. I used it recently for wedding trial makeup up and it received a good amount praise. The second shade is similar but more diluted and slightly less pink. Number three is a pretty candy pink, that's very well pigmented. I nearly always use number four as a highlighter it's gorgeous and shows up beautifully in photos. The fifth shade is pretty classic pink blush. Number six is a fab hot pink tone, I use this one a lot. Number seven is a pretty coral shade and suits every skin tone in my opinion. Number eight is another beautiful highlight, so pigmented and great for photos.


Below are the swatches. As you can see for yourself they're beautifully pigmented! I'm glad I discovered this brand, looking forward to trying out some more makeup.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar


This is currently my most used palette. I regret that I haven't tried too faced products sooner now, all cruelty free too.

I was looking for an eye-shadow palette that catered to my most favourable shades to make things more convenient. The palette contains an array of 16 shades that are appropriate for both day and night looks. They are very pigmented and there are good combination of matte and shimmery finishes. There isn't a colour I dislike.

The chocolate box palette is actually made from 100% natural cocoa powder and smells divine!

Shades below 



Gilded Ganache
A sophisticated shimmery bronzed colour with a slight hint of green and brown hues. 

White Chocolate
 I frequently use white chocolate as a base as it's a perfect neutral matte shade. 

Milk Chocolate
A matte brown colour, Works really well on the crease, for creating depth and blending. 

Black Forest Truffle
Delicious shimmery plum shade, looks so pretty on, I frequently blend it with Candied Violet. 

Triple Fudge 
Is quite similar to Gilded Ganache but slightly browner hues and a matte finish. 

Salted Caramel
