Makeup Revolution Palette Review



Who hasn't heard of Makeup Revolution? A brand that is affordable and who create a fantastic range of makeup. I received this Makeup Revolution palette from my lovely friend Ashley from Beauty Waterfall. I opened this palette with excitement as Makeup Revolution always know how to deliver.  The palette is called the Salvation Palette- Welcome to the pleasuredome and consists of 12 shades with a slight shimmer and then 6 matte shades. I like the variety of nude and bright colours, they all compliment eachother well. The pigmentation is so good and on par with some high end eyeshadows.

You can create many looks using these colours, from a smokey eye to a simple sweep of shadow to create a gorgeous nude eye look. The matte shades are super matte which I love and the shimmery shades do not have large chunks of glitter so it doesn't look in your face. I would highly recommend this palette which retails at only £6.00! Isn't that amazing! Such good value for money. 



I would highly recommend this product. Have you tried this palette or any other Makeup Revolution palette?

A Date Day | Food Festival | OOTD

Food is something I literally adore!! especially foods from various cultures, I adore trying new dishes out so when me and the hubby found out about Bournemouth we took the hour trip to go and have a great date day.


A fruity superfood smoothie!

Churros with a chocolate dip!

We also had paella and a pulled pork burrito but we ate them before we thought of photos! I wanted to try so much more like goats curry, a salted beef sandwich but it was so cold and unfortunately we couldnt stay much longer so went to the sea front which was suprisingly warmer, which sounds crazy as you would expect it to be colder but it wasnt so we strolled along there and played in the amusements on the classic 2 p machines.

 My outfit- Ripped Jeans and Crochet Top from Topshop. Hat and Boots from New Look, and coat from Ebay.



We had such a lovely day, strolling and exploring. We ended up in town centre as you do, and bought our little one a build the bear! I have never been in there and it was so much fun!

Review: Anastasia DipBrow Pomade and Brush #12


Anastasia DipBrow Pomade, Anastasia dipbrow review, Anastasia brush review, Best eyebrow product, Anastasia brush #12, cult beauty

I have decided to take the plunge and try out the well loved Anastasia DipBrow Pomade and brush #12. This product is loved by many bloggers and youtubers. Anastasia Soare known as the founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills is seen as an eye and brow expert who has worked with many famous stars such as J-Lo.

This product comes in many shades which is amazing as I dont tend to see many shades when it comes to eyebrow products. Anastasia DipBrow Pomade is a creamy product that sets as a powder, you don't need a lot of product to give a beautiful defined eyebrow. I use the shade dark brown which just about suits me with my skin tone and dark brows. I used to hate my eyebrows as back in the day it was all about thin brows where as me being Italian I had no option, my brows are bushy and thick! So thank the Lord its about thick brows now, Alleluia!

My brows now take about 2-3 minutes, the brush is a small angled brush with a mascara style end to help brush your brows to perfection. The angled brush applies the product with ease and precision. The brush and product are literally like husband and wife joined in matrimony they work perfectly like a team. I would highly recommend this and hope that more products become available in the UK.

Have you tried this?
