New Make up Palette Review!

Hey everyone and welcome back!

Today's post is going to be about a new make up palette that I just received from Make Up Revolution.  This is the I Love Make Up "Naked Underneath" - faux fur covered palette.  I received this beautiful palette last week as I had won this mini competition that they were doing in the Christmas holidays.  Basically the competition was to upload a video using the Make Up Revolution products and to tag them in the video.  I did just that!  I felt so happy to win and this palette is absolutely beautiful.  Was quite shocked that I received that as a present, but totally over the moon and would like to thank Make Up Revolution for that!  Definitely check out their site, they have such amazing and affordable make up.  Here is the site below just in case some of you never heard of the site;

OH AND THERE'S A SALE! So you better hurry up ladies :)

So here is the palette! The palette is just so cute with the heart shaped diamond and the faux fur cover.  Absolutely love that about it.  And also, let's just stop and look at those colours.....like woooow!  So so so beautiful!  Beautiful brown shades...light browns, dark....with shimmer and some without...just a perfect go to make up look palette.

Now I'll show you the colours.  They are quite pigmented, however some of the lighter shades aren't that pigmented.  Although, I used those lighter shades as a transition colour and they were perfect.  Basically, you apply the lighter shades on the crease so when you apply the darker shade over, it will be easier to blend that out because of the transition colour.  Little tip for you guys right there!

So let's start....

Those are the first four colours on the palette....I didn't swatch the first colour, that light peach shade because it barely even showed.  As mentioned above, that's a perfect transition colour!

Love these colours!!  Beautiful golden tones...perfect for a smokey eye look!

These are the last few colours on the palette and these are the darker colours on the palette.  They are so pigmented and you can easily create a beautiful smokey eye.  Not only are there brown and black shades, but there is also that gorgeous teal colour above.  You can create so many different looks with this palette, a total must have!  Perfect shades for a make up look for during the day and also for the evening.

And that's it!  Extremely happy with this palette, can't wait to play around with it more and try out different looks.  If you have any questions or difficulties, please feel free to leave a comment below! If you enjoyed reading this post, please share with your friends and follow me on Instagram;

My New Year's Eve make up look!

Hey everyone and happy new year!!

Really hope you all had a fantastic new year's eve full of laughter and joy! Bring on 2016 :)

So, as you all know New Year's Eve is such a big event and everyone goes all out....I went all out with my make up and I will show you guys what products I used and some tips I did.  Here is my look below; a golden, glittery smokey eye!  I definitely wanted some glitter and glam and so I did exactly that.  I was so happy with this look and felt that it was perfect for the occasion!

A little tip before I tell you what products I used...since I knew that I was going to do a gold glittery smokey eye, I first started with my eye make up.  I did this just in case I got fall out and in fact I did!  I had quite a bit of glitter under my eyes and if I had done my foundation, concealer, powder etc, I would have had to remove it because of the extra fall out under my eyes.  When using dark colours (black), glitters....I would suggest you start with your eye make up first just in case, so then you can just grab a make up wipe and easily take off all the fall out! 

Another tip; I wanted my eye make up to really last because I knew I was going to spend a lot of hours with my make up on and so I applied primer all over my eyes, then applied concealer and then I set that with powder.  Like that the eye shadows would last even longer. 

Products used for the eyes:

Lid: Make up Revolution "Awesome Metals" foil finish in "Rose Gold".

Crease: Catrice Deluxe Trio Eyeshadow 010 "Antique".  

Under the brow bone; Stefania D'Alessandro eye shadow "Pearl".  

Eyeliner; NYX liquid eyeliner then on the waterline; Catrice ultra black eyeliner. 

Mascara; Essence "Multi Action" volume mascara with a pair of false eye lashes which I bought from EBAY. 

Eyebrows; Catrice 040 "Don't let me Brow'n" pencil, H&M powder on top then the Brow Drama from Maybelline. 

Face;

Primer; Pupa Milano smoothing face primer. 

Foundation; L'Oreal Infallible 24H-matte in the shade sand. 

Concealer; Maybelline Instant Anti-Age in the shade light.

Powder; Max Factor Translucent Powder.

Contour; Sleek contour kit and the Duo Face Sculpt from Make up Revolution. 

Highlight; Pro Illuminate from Make Up Revolution and my favourite Becca Champagne Pop. 

I highlighted my nose, cheekbones and cupid's bow!  I really wanted that glow.  And lastly for the lips I just applied a clear gloss - I used Catrice "Glossy Lip Glow". 

Really hope you liked this make up look, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask away!
