5 Products I'll Never Buy Again

I would just like to say that I'm not against any of these products that I mention in this post. They just don't work for me personally so I wouldn't purchase them again.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Primer- I've owned this for a while and I've used it many times - enough times to realise that it's not for me. It makes my skin dry and my makeup ends up all patchy after applying it.

Kelly Brook Nail Polishes- As you can see, there's two Kelly Brook nail polishes shown above. They're actually a pack of two and I added these because these are the ones I actually own myself. I don't know about you, but I find these incredibly runny. I just can't manage them. I also find that it doesn't go on evenly either.

Benefit Porefessional- I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this one because it's most peoples go-to product. But it just doesn't work for me! I have huge pores and they're so hard to hide. I honestly thought that this product would do the trick but it didn't.

Vo5 Dry Backcomb Spray- I first saw this advertise on a YouTube video. You know them very annoying adverts whilst you're waiting for a video... eurgh! To get volume in my hair, I usually backcomb at the root, which isn't healthy for your hair! (me, a hairdresser? You wouldn't think so!) I ended up buying this product honestly thinking that it was going to work. It does absolutely nothing! 

Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush and Contour Palette- I mentioned this in a Makeup Revolution haul post. This was the only product that I weren't too keen on. There's about 2 or 3 shades out of the 8 which I do like. I don't love them, but I like them. So why would I waste my money buying another palette?

Do any of these 5 products work for you or do you have the same problem?

Makeup Revolution Haul #2 + First Impressions

Hi lovelies!

I bought a few lovely bits from Makeup Revolution a while ago (you can see my first haul here) and I was just so impressed with the quality of the products. So obviously, I bought more!

Stay don't Stray - Eye Primer

As I suffer from oily skin, I usually get that annoying horrible crease line across my eyelid. Come on, you must know what I'm talking about here!? This primer fixes that! No matter how long I like to keep my eyeshadow on throughout the day/night that crease line doesn't appear, ever!

It also makes the shadows look much more vibrant. Plus, it was only £1.50 - how affordable for something amazing!


Pro Fix Oil Control - Makeup Fixing Spray

I first heard good reviews about the normal fixing spray from other beauty bloggers, so I had been thinking about getting it for a while. While I was on Makeup Revolutions website, I decided to get the 'new oil fixing spray' instead of the normal one. Mainly because it was new and secondly because it is meant to control oily skin.

This sets your makeup for hours straight. Although, I'm not too sure about the 'oil fix' as my skin still gets oily throughout the day. (I must just have incredibly oily skin.)
So to be honest, I might as well have just bought the normal setting spray. It was only £5, so I'm not too bothered.


Hot Smoked - Eyeshadow Palette

I wanted a simple palette with a few eyeshadows in and I came across this one! The eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented! This has 12 eyeshadows - 5 matte and 7 shimmer. It also comes with a dual ended applicator, which I don't use anyway. The shadows are incredibly pigmented and believe it or not, it was only £4!

Each shade doesn't have individual names, which is aggravating as I like it when each eyeshadow have names, it's just easier for me.


Eyes Like Angels - 32 Shade Eyeshadow Palette

 I had to spend so much to get this palette for free. I didn't actually realise until I looked in my basket when I was about to checkout. This palette has 32 shadows. Most are shimmer with a few mattes. There's a mix of bright colours and smoked colours. I absolutely love this palette, such amazing pigmentation! It's only £8!

I actually did a makeup look using this palette which you can find here.

Black Stars, Green Dream, Peach Cream, Orchid, Sophisticated Pink, Dream, Pink Glow, Peacock Dream.

Silver Star, Emerald Night, Lilac Shimmer, Purpled!, Cream, Pink!, Lilac Frost, Award.

Golden Sugar - Ultra Blush & Contour Palette

As I'm pale, I find it quite hard to get the right colour blush to suit me. So, I thought that I'd take a look on the Makeup Revolution site and I found this! This is both a blush and contour palette - which is handy! So I thought why the hell not!? All these shades are very pigmented and very shimmery.

Shade 1- This is personally too shimmery and glittery for me. I couldn't really use this as a highlighter.

Shade 2- As I'm quite pale anyway, this is just too light. It just doesn't suit me.

Shade 3- This could be one of my favourite shades in the palette. Somehow, I don't find it as shimmery as the rest of the shades but it suits me best.

Shade 4- This is a very bronze/orange colour. It doesn't suit me at all. It's way too dark.

Shade 5- It's not too dark or too light. Can't really see the colour, just the shimmer. Another one of my favourites maybe?

Shade 6- Again, a very shimmery shade. I can't really use very much of this as I'll look like I'll have very dark cheeks. It may look better if I had a tan though. I really do like this one.

Shade 7- This reminds me of Autumn. It's obviously way too dark for me and too intense. A big no no on this one!

Shade 8- Many people contour with this shade, which I have done myself a few times. It does look okay once blended, so it's not so harsh. Yet again, it is quite an orangey colour. I can get away with it though.


Have you ever bought anything from Makeup Revolution before?
What are your opinions on what I've bought?

E.L.F

Hello lovelies!

Recently I've bought some bits of make-up from e.l.f cosmetics, also known as 'eyes lips face.' So I thought, why not do a small blog post on the products I bought.

Blush with brush: 

£2.50

As I have quite pale skin, I need to test out lots of different blushers, they're either too dark or don't suit me. I thought I would try e.l.f cosmetics. I looked at all the different blushers on their website and I really liked the look of this one and there was a lot of good reviews. So, I got this one, in the colour 'Innocence.' 

£2.50

This is quite light for me. You can hardly see it unless, you keep going over it to build up the colour. It just leaves a bit of a pale pink shimmer. I don't use the brush and I haven't tried using it as I use my own. Now I know for next time, to buy a darker pink colour.

Blush brush:

£3.95

 While I was on the website, I thought I might as well buy another blush brush. I read all of the reviews on different blush brushes to choose the perfect one. 

Some people said the brush is a bit small, but personally I think it's the perfect size as it picks up the right amount of product.

£3.95

It's a high quality and soft brush and it's now one of my favourites! 

The brush is also slightly tapered, so the colour goes on accurately. It is also very easy to clean!

Natural lash kit:

£1.95

Out of all the fake eyelashes I've owned, these are definitely my favourite! They are easy to apply and you can easily re-use them.  

£1.95

The fake lashes look natural, but full! They will enhance your make-up look and your eyes. 

If you would like to see what they look like, I have a 'make-up look' post coming up next month which will include these lashes!

Eyeshadow brush:

£1.95

I have only used this brush once and it is one of my favourite eyeshadow brushes! 

This applies the product smoothly and none of the bristles have come out, as of yet!

I've heard some girls say that the bristles in theirs came out after about 2 or 3 uses. 

Whereas, I've heard from other girls that their eyeshadow brush is perfectly fine.

I say it's a pot of luck!

£1.95

It works just as well in the crease and to blend in. This brush is also very easy to clean.

Yet again, I will also be using this for my 'make-up look' post next month. Watch this space!
